Everyone thinks of “bulletproof” thia and that as a magic talisman, keeping you safe from all harm.
Well, it ain’t, and it don’t.
Remember your high school physics.
Mass x velocity = energy.
And when that speeding boolit hits you….well, the armor may stop the boolit from drilling through you, but that energy has to go somewhere. And that “somewhere” is you.
Bruises, contusions, broken ribs and other bones, concussions, hydrostatic shock…..
You may be spending time in bed/in the hospital. But at least, it ain’t the morgue with a toe tag.
Except in reel life, of course. I chuckle every time I see one gangster shoot another inside a car. Somehow the bullet penetrates the shootee’s head enough to splatter blood over the widow beyond, but disappears before it puts a hole in the glass.
And, of course, the shooter can still hear afterward.
I believe that is why they pull the jacket away from their bodies with the non shooting hand and turn to expose that side to the gunman. But you are right. Having trained with rubber bullets, they, how do you say….”That’s gonna leave a mark”.
Just for curiosity I wanted to find out what force was. I looked it up and got this – F=N/t*10^(-3). Then I had to find out what a newton was and found this
N=m(kg)*a(m/s^2). So the force of a bullet would be:
F=m*a^2/t*10^-3
where m=mass is kilograms, a=acceleration in meters per second and t=time in seconds.
I thought about figuring out grains of powder and weights of various calibers but then it got real serious…

Thank you… Yeah, I enjoy the Wick movies. But the last one, with the suit…
Even James Bond never got one of those.
Right. Mass times velocity is momentum, not energy. It’s the happy coincidence that both are conserved that allows you to solve the linear equation to find the parameters of specific incidents.
No walrus, Albert E (nor his first wife to whom he gave all his Nobel prize cash) are discoverers of the relationship: kinetic energy = mass X velocity squared, although their relativistic equations do reduce to that form in the limit of velocities far less than the speed of light. I would call that “Newtonian mechanics.” Our European culture has given us a great number of brilliant thinkers over the centuries, a point of pride we should surely pass on to our children.
The only way would be some kind of race war; back in Biblical times it was the pronouciation of “shibboleth”.
It would be awkward… and not completely accurate both ways: Some illegals may speak English just fine, and some Chicagoans cannot manage to speak English.
I am so glad I am 83. I can be as dangerous as I please.

Some of the competitors I have seen could only dream of a 38 inch waist. I saw a picture of IDPA range officers who must have tipped three hundred pounds or more for all of them. They couldn’t possible be chasing the shooters all day.
Unfortunately, the new shooters I have encountered all want to be a John Wick. The days of a new shooter at a young age with a single shot .22 rifle is over unless the parents get involved. Everyone is looking for that cool 9MM that they can’t afford to train with, buy ammunition to train or take the time to learn. Go to a public range and it seems everyone is shooting at a ridiculous close range. One said a pistol bullet couldn’t go past 100 yards. To some, shooting at fifty feet is an impossible task.
Learning “self defense” is stupid before a person can deliver a hit when and where. New shooter have no need to put extra stress in their experience. Learn to like to shoot and forget about the kill or be killed. I hope no one goes to a batting cage to learn to bash someone’s brains in.
A .22LR tends to slow the thinking process down a little when it agitates the grey matter, you can carry a lot of them in a pocket, they’re relatively quiet and the recoil is perfect for training beginners to not flinch at the noise then work their way up to the heavier cartridges.
When I was an RSO/Trainer the rule was that nobody, no matter what their claimed level of experience was, could fire any centrefire cartridge, including .25acp or.32 (when those were still legal to own up here) until they proved they could keep at least six out of ten within a 6″ circle at 25 yds using a club .22 Ruger, then again with a club GP100 and .38WC’s.
Only then could they use their own firearms and you’d be surprised how many ‘expert shots’ needed more than one try.
If I had to choose one handgun cartridge and one only, with no chance of obtaining anything else, it’d be a tossup between .45+P+ or .22LR and the decision would be difficult, leaning toward the .22.

If one reads Tata’s “Double Crossfire” political thriller as a guidebook, one might surmise there have been things of this, uh, nature (above panels) and MUCH more going on below the radar, as part of The Plan. Faked or real assassinations, murders, suicides (who knows?), body doubles, literal puppets and masks, flipped Black Hats pretending to be the enemy – couldn’t be any crazier than what we’ve been forced to witness ABOVE the radar for exactly 4 years now..
Part of why my go-to list of SHTF tools is based on price and ubiquity. Best ballistics in the world is useless if you can’t get it or can’t afford it. And that availability and cost factor leads me to this…
>.22lr of course. A person could damn near get by on .22 alone, it does the job if not necessarily the best job, of anything a prepper might need or face. And even with the run-up it is still incredibly affordable; don’t ever pass up grabbing a carton every time it is within reach. .06rd ain’t as good as the .02 that it used to be, but still…
9mm. More of this NATO stuff in the world than any other handgun round. And it will do the job, great selection of loads, cheap at .22rd, and every place from the big box stores to the local hardware has 9 on the shelf.
.38sp. Again, availability and range of choices are hard to beat, and at .40rd it can serve as your go-to for handgun defense.
.223. Well of course. From and like 9mm it’s the NATO round of choice making availability just about universal. And at .50rd stack that shit high (and always pick up a couple P-Mags) Defend, hunt, plink, it will do it all.
12ga. Gotta have a scattergun, and again with a shorty magnum pump for close-ups and a 28in auto for everything else, it is an absolute necessity in your kit.
Just my opinion, gleaned from 40 years of dealing with this shit; YMMV.

Wick suit ain’t helping with those head shots though…
I don’t think Zed needs the protection. Anyone who can leave a trophy sticking in the POTUS desk isn’t going to be a target in the first place.
John wick ~ cool story.

Javier! Warm up the cloud, you gotta job! 38″ waist….what, 6’2″?

FYI, there’s a Custom Tailor in Toronto that does bullet resistant suits called, iirc, Garrison Bespoken. Just try not to choke at the price($20k).
Mass x velocity squared, according to Einstein.

No, Leibniz and Bernoulli, contemporaries of Newton. All of whom were into the invention of calculus.
Sorry for the error. My bad.
The e=mv was just an off-the-cuff, trying to lead into the discussion of “armor still equals OUCH!”
I don’t see how we can stop 3 million saboteurs.

How the hell did that get duplicated?
I did not enter it twice… how could I?
83. 😉
I’m surprised. A hard-core operator like Zed would typically stay in fighting shape all his life. Jocko Willink is a good example.
He’s stocky

Use the .22 to take out their kneecaps and slow ’em down. Then you can use the 9mm more effectively. At least, that is was I thought the .22 was for…
A .22LR tends to slow the thinking process down a little when it agitates the grey matter, you can carry a lot of them in a pocket, they’re relatively quiet and the recoil is perfect for training beginners to not flinch at the noise then work their way up to the heavier cartridges.

Luvs a good indexing, but not at that particular moment. 🙂
Just saying.
CZ-52- – – – -7.62X25- – – – -full metal jacket- – – – -goes through a vest like a hot knife through butter. The pistols are also C&R eligible.
I like my AR-10. .308 is easy to get.
“…308 is easy to get.”
It is. A tad spendy though, roughly double .223.
