The Role of Bulletproof Vests

The main function of a bulletproof vest is to absorb the impact force of bullets fired from guns or explosive fragments to protect the wearer from injury.

1. Bulletproof function

Resist bullets and fragments: Bulletproof vests can effectively resist bullets fired from light weapons such as pistols and shotguns, as well as fragments from explosives such as grenades. The materials used in bulletproof vests, such as high-strength, low-density chemical fibers such as Kevlar, entangle the bullets through a dense mesh structure and absorb their kinetic energy, thereby preventing the bullets from penetrating.

Prevent non-penetrating injuries: The impact force generated by a bullet hitting the target is one of the key factors in causing injuries. Bulletproof vests can reduce the damage of this impact force to the human body, especially to prevent serious damage to important organs such as internal organs.

2. Other functions

Lightweight and comfortable: Modern bulletproof vests are designed to be lightweight and comfortable so that the wearer can move flexibly when performing tasks.

Concealment: Some bulletproof vests are designed to be more concealed and can be worn under a shirt to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Additional protection: When a higher level of protection is required, additional protective equipment such as bulletproof plates can be added to the bulletproof vest to resist more powerful threats such as rifle bullets.
