Those suits will stop most commonly-used pistol rounds. If you desire protection against rifle rounds, you can purchase SAPI plates from China for fairly cheap, but them, and their plate carriers, are fairly bulky....worse than wearing an armored motorcycle jacket, for comparison.

- jvanderbot 7y agoA $3500 suit (sold only to feds) is not a recourse against random acts of violence. Body plating is not either. This is lunacy to recommend as a common man / everyday solution that takes the place of regulation and enforcement.
