Oh Richard Davis from Second Chance
Back in the 80's there was a vhs tape called "Deadly Weapons" My favorite as a youngen

Skip to 1:12 of the video and watch Richard shoot himself with a 44 magnum. But first shoots a person with a vest with a .308 at 10 feet.
Crazy

I have an older vest and have often wondered if it was worth keeping.
Thank you for taking the time to post your test results.

I have an older vest as well that I keep for Terminator 2 style car door protection. Good to know my thinking is valid( crazy but valid)

Crazy

I remember watching that tape thinking that dude is either crazy as a loon or he really believes in his product. At the end of the tape I concluded that I was right on both counts. Lol!
