Foreign [Music] Looked like we've been shooting today Just we got ears we got eyes we got Shotgun shells but look here's I wanted To have a discussion because you've had A lot of experience uh Training and teaching people how to Protect themselves and one thing that I Have check this out here's my here's one Of my bags I have in my bag A nice plate a nice pan armor panel for Specifically for my backpack and it fits It's just perfect now the difference Between this and panels you might find In body armor what's the biggest Difference you can you can describe how Thick this is this is thin this is a 3A Soft panel it's not a a ceramic or a Hard or God forbid Steel Right right and I'm I'm a big anti I Preach against steel but uh the one the Cool thing about this Premier body armor That I like that three more inches of Coverage versus because I had standard Armor panels in my pack 10 by 12s and Yeah just kind of depends on what kind Of mood I'm in I'll put a soft panel in Or I might put a level four ceramic pack I ordered my 10 I ordered mine um 12×14. Oh I'm one of my own but mine also Dyneema okay so they're super light I Got you because Armor's no good if it's So heavy you're not going to wear it at

This point it goes in our backpack this Weighs what eight ounces ten ounces it's Light yeah so you're not going to notice I don't even know what's in my bag now If you if you if this was AR 500 you Picked that bag up you know yeah you'd Make that noise yeah you feel like You're at the gym but then but then the Question comes down to what does this Stop what is this good for so yep and The only way to actually test body armor Is some idiot has to wear it What the hell's going on here Bob's a Good friend of ours and he is generously Volunteered to be today's Target in this William Tell exercise we've literally Taped ribs his mouth shut We've taped ribs onto Bob these are Literally uh Smithfield dude we wasted Smithfield ribs we've got some Chinese Ribs Now Chinese ribs so we're gonna Literally tape this Premier body armor Panel to Bob we're going to put it down Range we're gonna shoot the crap out of It let's see what happens so this is a Full five gallons of water to give us a Nice backstop we're not expecting any Perforation Right we should I hope not we hope Um but we might have penetration but What we're mainly looking for is so why Do we do ribs why we got ribs tapes this Thing for exactly we want some realistic We want to see if we break bones yeah we

Want to see if we break bones that's why Bob wait a minute you mean it's not like In the movies when you could get a Machine gun didn't you just stand there And take it nothing you know a nine Millimeter bullet will blow your lungs Completely out of your body I'm expecting to see Bob lungless Waterless broken rib breasts there's Only one way to find out let's let's arm Room up and shoot him let's do it here We go let's get our tape we'll tape it Up we want to make sure that Bob is safe There's been threats made against his Life By some uh some fundamentalists out of Uh out of some Nations we won't mention But they believe Bob is um not Halal so We're trying to protect him out here All right that ought to hold it on there But we're fixing to shooting with a Whole lot of stuff And we're going to see what Premier Armor can take all right let's hand These ribs and these ribs and do we get To eat those afterwards You can Knock one of those poppers down Just follow us Jake unless and if they Stop at 90. I don't know where they stop At I think they lay pretty flat now Bob You're putting on weight Show up here to shoot guns we put you to

Our impact I said I was aiming for the ER so I was off a little bit but there's Our impact okay there's very I could see The projectile and feel it right here Okay great and but there's very little Deformation here we can see where so it Knocked the sticker off that's about all The impact it did okay if that were if That were you or I Bruce okay cool you'd Have a bruise Awesome that's all that would do all Right well let's take a step up and find Something else to shoot let me get some More tape and re-secure Bob's Armor All Right And you notice that thing didn't even Move I know I expected a rock yeah weird I did too totally all right so Chris so Nice shot I shot the nine millimeter I Was surprised surprised it didn't even Look really wiggle it kind of just Absorbed it even move I was expecting it To move I bet I can make it move I bet It Wiggles now because I'm going to Shoot it with a 10 millimeter this is an Underwood it's 165 grain traveling at 16 1600 ish feet per second and I'm just Going to go for Center Mass And it's supposed to stop this it should Stop it so maybe it will maybe it won't We'll find out we found the nine Millimeter projectile just under the Cover so it didn't really even penetrate Layers of Kevlar let's see what this
