Worlds First 50cal rated body Armor

Body armor: Passed ☑️ Person: Passed away 💀

“The bullet didn’t go through doctor” “Yeah but his organs look like mashed potatoes”

I know, a lot of people are commenting that the shockwave will kill the person. but bear in mind, he shot the vest at such a short distance. In reality a .50 cal will be shot most probably from way further and in between if there are bullet proof glass or walls or other armour, I think the person will not die, might have some broken ribs may be.

I'm not an expert, and I have no idea if that carrier is soft armor or has a soft armor insert, but maybe the blunt force trauma can be reduced by wearing a trauma pad with soft armor under all of it.

How to survive a 50 cal shot: Don't get shot by a 50 cal.

Stopping the bullet is no problem, the real challenge is preventing your organs from becoming paté

Holy crap, it truly grinds my gears seeing this comment section missing the entire point of this test. No! You would NOT survive being shot at by a .50 Cal with this vest. But also no, the point of this vest is NOT to save your life from a .50 Cal in a real shootout condition. It's a purely experimental piece meant simply for showing and it's not even commercially available in the first place. The entire point of this test was both to show off how far we've come in terms of armor technology in the last 20 years and also for marketing purposes for SafeLife's other products. What 99% of people are failing to understand here is that not even a single decade ago the mere prospect of such a thin layer of armor ever coming even CLOSE to stopping the penetration of such round was thought to be something utterly impossible! Yet here we are! We got the penetration part solved. What a feat of material engineering, isn't it??? Now all that's left is to effectively pad the damn thing in the future. But no, let's ignore this recent progress and paradoxally pretend it never happened to make "Muh puréed lungs" jokes and pretend that commercially available .30-06 M2 AP rated body armor isn't a thing either. You know, a grade of preactical protection that so many soldiers from the 20th Century would've LOVED to get their hands on because practically almost no one wore anything that would provide any significant physical protection at all besides at best a flak jacket! Jeez, it's almost like Americans can't cope with the fact that armor is finally catching up to compete with commonplace small firearms for the first time in FOUR ENTIRE CENTURIES!!! And I do say so as a pro-gun person myself.

This thing is impressive! It shows what technologies can do! Adding some shockwave absorbing materials would make it a true 50 cal rated body armor.

Everybody gangsta till yo rib cage feel like rice crispies

as a wise man once said "it's not supposed to save your life, its supposed to make sure theres something to send home"

Wow!!! That's amazing. More than what I would need but a terrific test and great for Safelife Armor to market to the military and law enforcement.

Appreciate the safety aspects from you all the time. Good !

.50BMG: Stopped Organs: Crushed Hotel: Trivago

Rescuers in the field: No penetration? He's gonna live!" Surgeon: " Ahh... guys where's his spine?"

Love to see this stuff tested when put on a ballistic dummy. Never seen something than thin stop an APIT before. Hopefully it's on the market by now.

Now I can finally go to school safely in America

Vest - Stops .50 Cal Ribs - Ejected Through Your Back

This body armor is the definition of "well yes but actually no"

These guys are the definition of "when it's all said and done, there is more said than done"

That's very impressive and I wonder if it would do the same cloth imprint on the wood at a realistic shooting distance?
