The 223 is the most deadly round ever produced, no way a vest could restrain the energy produced by this round.

Legally you are correct. But 25 to me is still a Kid.

Same here. For that matter, there are a lot of 60 year olds who ACT like kids. More than a couple right here on this board. whistle

Hey. Be nice! smile

Then you are vastly out of touch with what's currently available, and which do cover sections/regions of the abdomen.

I don't know what type he was wearing, do you?

Here is a nice one, quite reasonably priced, too

I would not ask someone to shoot at me while wearing it, though.

nO I don't, but I know there are steel plates available that cover the abdomen.

news reports are vague as to exactly what the bullet did/didnt travel through before striking the victim.

Yes. They kill in swarms like killer bees.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

That's what some alphabet guys were doing at the range back in the day, they hung out of date? vests on target stands and had at them with 9mm's and 45 acp's at iirc less than 10 yards, I was down at the other end shooting my 45 Colt Blackhawk with 300gr hardcasts, one came down and ask me to shoot their vests with my pig pistol, OOPS. grin

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
