“I’m not going to say that it’s going to.” “The outcome of the investigation could result in that,” Metro officer Misael Parra said. Now, Las Vegas police say that anything that might prevent similar deaths in the future - including updating the department’s body armor policy - is on the table. 13, a bullet from an AK-47 pistol pierced his bulletproof vest, killing him, Assistant Sheriff Andrew Walsh said in a briefing.

Safe Life Defense makes Body Armor, Tactical Belts, and other protection products for Police, EMS, Security Officers, and civilians. They don't even specify what type 223/5.56 rounds it stops.A ballistic impact lab operator, left, and operation manager at Safe Life Defense, who declined to give their names, examine a hole caused by an M855 5.56mm bullet on the Safe Life Defense's Flexible Rifle Armor System (FRAS) bulletproof vest after a test shot, on Friday, Oct. Even if it's a special threat rating and not NIJ, there needs to be some assurance other than the incredibly ambiguous claim to stop. With that said, I have a huge problem with the armor not being independently tested and the results very clearly published. Their 'corporate address' is just for office space, and in their case since they're a smaller business also most likely where they are shipping from. Like almost every other armor company in the US, they're probably a reseller of armor made to their specifications by one of the few companies in the US that actually make armor (similar to AR15s, really). Why would the address reflect anything on the capabilities of the company? Their armor probably isn't made there.probably isn't even made by them. Some guy with and address of Unit #4 might have discovered the Holy Grail of body armor that will revolutionize the industry and I might run a marathon this year or get elected President.I'm not understanding the dig on their address. There is no trust when it comes to body armor manufacturer claims by large, well-established makers like Safariland and Point Blank. That's the order of credibility, in my experience, from top to bottom, that you can assign to claims about their products or services. Some guy with and address of Unit #4 might have discovered the Holy Grail of body armor that will revolutionize the industry and I might run a marathon this year or get elected President. To properly manufacture body armor, IMO, requires more than a small-business footprint with rigorous independent testing and quality control, not some guy who believes an AK round penetrates more than a 5.56 round. I pointed out that DragonSkin was purchased by a number of USG entities who later wound up with egg on their face. One of my FIs saw the product and noted that many, many Feds have purchased this and it's the new hotness. The video that shows the vest being shot shows 5.56 shots and 7.62x51 shots and THEN the spokesperson states, 'It even stops AK-47 rounds.' I would want to know who actually manufactures the ballistic materials and what of what materials they are constructed. Do street view and ask yourself if that address inspires confidence in the product.
