Testing to Destruction - Body Armour Sampling

deformed bullets

Two Bowie style knives as used under the UK stab procedure from the 1993 standard. All knives used for body armour testing are selected as being representative of a serious assault from a high quality engineered blade.

The six bullets shown left were removed from our vests following a ballistic trial. Upon impact the bullets deform to a mushroom shape.
Close examination reveals the fabric pattern of the aramid weave impregnated in the bullet. The top left bullet still has the gold/yellow fibres from the vest lodged in the lead alloy surface.

6 and 3 inch Bowie Knives
