    So please watch again, and give it a thumbs up.

    My guess is that even though the Level 4 body armor stopped the 338 Lapua round, if you were the guy wearing the vest, you would be going to the hospital from the resulted of blunt trauma impact . Depending on where the round hit it would be like getting hit in the chest with a sledge hammer. Who knows what kind of damage that round would do from the blunt trauma.

    The colour of the plate liner is likely due to a proprietary fill. Generally the fill is carbon black (natural gas soot) and is why most rubber is black. Hydraulic hose, for instance, is around 30% acrylic plastic, 30% nitrile rubber, 30% carbon black and the remainder is processing agents and polymerization catalyst, etc.

    If you are turned sideways in the middle of the road. And a car slams into you at 50 mph. Did it penetrate your vehicle? Probably not. But consider what’s going to happen to the parts of your body that are on the other side of the distortion that occurs when that car rams into you.
    If the force doesn’t kill you and that’s a big if you are definitively out of the fight.
