I think Bruno was referring to the bullet proof vest idiots Originally Posted by JohnnyCakeDC

Yup. I am not a firearms expert, but I was told that a metal jacket .308 would go through the vest like through paper. Originally Posted by JMS

I once heard if you can put your arms around a tree and touch your fingers, it's probably not enough to stop a .308 from penetrating it and yourself.
That said, that vest might have had enough material to mushroom the bullet nicely before it left a baseball sized hole through your chest.

Didn't Mr Darwin write something about this kind of behaviour? That vest stunt was just prime example of not using one's noggin to what it's for...

A solid .308 round would probably go through a few vests. Originally Posted by Bruno

I'm not really sure who was the bigger idiot, the one wearing the vest or the one doing the shooting, I'll say that the shooter hadn't thought much about what he would have been in for if that had gone worse.

To be honest, I would expect a vest to be able to stop a handgun round.
