Bulletproof vests on the market today don guarantee that a police officer or soldier still won be killed or seriously injured by the force of a bullet's impact. It seems as though the vest manufacturers are only interested in meeting the minimum requirements that have been established by the NIJ06 Standard (National Institute of Justice).
The NIJ06 standards allow a Back Face Signature (BFS) or Back Face Deformation (BFD) of 44 mm or 1 inch penetration into the body. This means that though the vest keeps the bullet from entering the body, the NIJ finds it acceptable for the bullet to penetrate the north face denali sale body by almost 2 inches.
Mooresvillebased Shocktec Products, Inc. has developed a material that significantly reduces the BFS/BFD of any ballistic vest. Ballistics livefire testing on Shocktec Products Inc. militarygrade padding for bulletproof vests reduced the potential for life threatening blunt force trauma by up to 50 percent.
The tests were conducted on Aug. 25, 2011, at the ballistics testing range of a large North Carolina military products manufacturer.
The product, SHOCKtec HD FR padding, reduced the impact of the bullets by dissipating where to find cheap north face jackets and absorbing energy that can prove fatal even if a bullet doesn't pierce a protective Kevlar vest.
The results of these tests confirm earlier independent testing on the SHOCKtec material conducted from 2005 to 2007 by Florida State University's College of Engineering.
SHOCKtec HD FR is a dense polyurethane elastomer of high molecular weight that has extraordinary properties for dissipating energy.
"The material is positioned between the vest and the officer or soldier's body and significantly reduces the chances that back face deformation will render a soldier or officer incapacitated, or severely injured", said Robbie Suggs, President of Mooresvillebased Shocktec Products Inc. "
"One of the most serious problems with vests is their inability to eliminate injuries or reduce blunt force trauma caused by back face deformation when a bullet strikes the Kevlar. After contacting many of the largest vests manufactures, BFD does not seem to be a concern as long as their product meets the NIJ minimum" Suggs said. "Our SHOCKtec HD FR significantly reduces the degree of back face deformation. It is the difference between being coherent enough to fight back or being incapacitated and killed by your attacker!".
