When choosing a bulletproof vest, it's important to consider the type of protection you need. Different vests offer different levels of protection, so you'll need to decide which one is right for you.  For example, if you need a vest that can protect you from high-powered rifles, then you'll need to opt for a plate carrier with Level III or Level IV ballistic plates, made from multiple layers of bulletproof material. On the other hand, if you're looking for something to protect you in a situation where potential adversaries will be using smaller caliber handguns, then a Level IIA or Level IIIA soft vest, worn over or under clothing will be the right choice.  Statistically, most crimes in the United States will be committed with handguns. In 2020, the ATF ran data analysis on 389,276 firearms recovered from crimes across the United States. Contrary to anti-gun rhetoric, which preaches that the 5.56x45mm rounds from the AR15 are the most dangerous and prolific rounds in the United States, the 9mm is by far the most common round found at crime scenes in America. In all the states except Montana and Puerto Rico (where criminals favor the .22 and the .40 caliber respectively) the 9mm is the undisputed king of gun crime. The 5.56x45 doesn’t even make it into the top 5, and the .223 ranks 13th.   According to the ATF’s numbers, a Level IIA soft vest should be enough to stop the most common threats, since it protects against both 9mm and .40 S&W, the two most popular handguns used in crimes. The IIIA, a slightly heavier option, offers protection from larger rounds such as the .45 ACP, .357 Sig, .357 Mag and .44 Mag. Of these calibers, the .45 and .357 still rank relatively high on the ATF’s list, so it’s a good idea for anyone to spend the extra money to get the security of more robust armor.   If you’re concerned about possibly taking rifle fire, Level III plates are rated to stop the AR15’s 5.56x45 rounds as well as 7.62x39 rounds from an AK-47 or .308 rounds from a high caliber bolt action rifle or AR-10. This type of armor is impossible to conceal under a shirt, and is usually worn by military personnel or law enforcement. Compared to the 145,815 9mm weapons traced by the ATF, the 9,032 5.56x45mm weapons in their database seem decidedly low, despite the AR15 being the most popular rifle in the United States. The .308 appears even less, with only 1,545 firearms traced.   For those who want only the highest level of protection, Level IV plates are available. These heavy duty armor plates are capable of defeating .30-06 Armor-Piercing Rounds. This large caliber round is only slightly less common than its .308 counterpart on the ATF’s list of traced calibers.    Criminal elements are most likely to use what’s available, concealable, and cheap. For the best in concealable bulletproof, protection, YF PROTECTOR recommends the vip3 bullet proof vest. This IIIA armor is designed to be lightweight and comfortable while being practical and effective. Worn over or under a shirt, it can also be upgraded with Level III or Level IV plates in its Velcro pockets to protect against greater threats. The VP3 is ideal for law enforcement, security and other professionals who seek reliable and comfortable protection.

The police body armor is composed of a jacket and a bulletproof layer. The bulletproof layer is mainly made of metal and other protective materials, which can absorb the kinetic energy of the warhead and reduce the speed of the warhead, thereby protecting the human body. So, what kind of process did the body armor go through? What are the relevant properties of the inner body armor? Let’s take a closer look at the history of bulletproof vests and related characteristics. Special bulletproof clothing Lightweight bulletproof clothing is a kind of personal protective military uniform used for protecting the human torso from projectiles or shrapnel, mostly in the shape of a vest. Bulletproof clothing made of bulletproof layer and jacket is a kind of individual protective military uniform used for protecting the human torso from projectiles or shrapnel. The thickness of the bulletproof layer is determined by the balance between protection performance and wearing comfort according to different objects. Soldiers wearing alone can significantly reduce battlefield mortality and injury rates.   Police bulletproof clothing is developed on the basis of armor. During the First World War, 80% of the total casualties on the battlefield were caused by low- and medium-velocity stray bullets or fragments, and experts were inspired by ancient armor to develop alternative bulletproof suits in the late war. In World War II, casualties caused by shrapnel still accounted for about 60%. People paid more and more attention to the development of bulletproof clothing. In the early 1940s, the United States and some Western European countries began to develop alloy steel and aluminum alloys. , Chin alloy, glass fiber reinforced plastic, ceramics, nylon and other materials bulletproof clothing, and used in the battlefield.   In the 1960s, the second generation of bulletproof clothing that replaced high-quality steel with high-quality chemical fiber materials began to appear. Since the 1970s, bulletproof clothing has undergone new developments. Body armor can be divided into three types: soft, hard and soft-hard composite. The material of the soft body armor is mainly high-performance textile fibers. These high-performance fibers are much higher than the energy absorption capacity of general materials, giving the body armor the bulletproof function. softness, called soft body armor. The protection level of soft body armor is usual NIJ IIIA AND below.
