Todays hard armor is ceramic. It can only take a hit, maybe two before it is no longer reliable. I think a big bore would just shatter this plate, possibly penetrate and definately cause internal bleading. My 416 rigby will punch tenisball size holes in 2" concrete, so I hink that ceramic plate would be toast after the first shot.
When I was deployed, quiet a few people had to get replacement plates because they would drop them and they would crack.
It would be interesting to see them test a safari rifle on the new dragon skin armor.
that would definately be a good way to test it haha. Thats my feeling too, I think the ceramic would shatter and even if it didn't penetrate who ever is wearing that would get some broken ribs, allowing enough time to get a follow up shot in a vital area.
