9mm Corbon DPX rounds penetrate vest.

[Sovereign Threeper]

I Have been testing different ammo on old Surplus Point blank vests recently & while doing a test using 10, 9mm 115 grain corbon dpx rounds was able to punch one through. I have tried pmc fmj, corbon jhp, ect but was surprised that one of the DPX rounds penetrated.

Thought I would share.

Those are extremely downloaded, very weak.

Corbon is run fairly hot. Velocity makes all the difference in these matters.

I wasn't aware, that ANY vest, could be shot 10 times .....

I"m not sure what this accomplishes other than getting Utube views? Any vest will start to degrade after the first shot. I would guess if you shoot it enough times with a 22 eventually you will get penetration.

What is the purpose of your testing?

What is the purpose of your testing?

I wear vests while on the job so have watched videos of different vests, ammo, ect and simply wanted to do some testing myself just to see how the vests react and hold up.

I guess I'll ask again ... what was the vest rating?

Why don't you shoot one with an FN 5.7

If I wore soft body armor for work I would hope to God the vest could handle up to 10 hits. What is the point of a one shot vest.

 

[HKUSP]

If one out of ten made it through on a used, ten year old vest I'd still consider that darn good for the vest. Remember, heat, moisture, and age degrade the vests.

Unless it's SS198, it's not going through a vest. SS197SR and SS195LF are both designed to be stopped by vests.

If one makes it through, it's likely far past its expiration date.

Because I don't have one... Yet...
