Given enough kinetic energy, bullet proof armor that merely stops a projectile would not be sufficient.

“Given enough kinetic energy, bullet proof armor that merely stops a projectile would not be sufficient.”

I know an ATM tech that was shot twice point blank close to the sternum while wearing a vest. It knocked the wind out of him. To add insult to injury the FBI questioned him. The robber used .38 lead round nose ammo and the FBI suspected it was an inside job because it was obvious the week loads wouldn’t penetrate.
