#1 Employee safety as applied to firearms sales and equipment training is a bit less restrictive there.

#3 The hole in the plate suggests not.
The cleverly edited video showing a strike to the vest is torso only. There may not be a body behind it.

#6 The concept for QA is valid. Now how many pres of companies doing business with DoD are willing to do something similar. And while we're at it, I'd like a vid of CEOs and pres opening those damn plastic clam shell containers they seem so keen on with our domestic products.

#8 The Russians do this all the time as a confidence building measure for their spec ops people.

#10 During WWII, my dad was a B-24 ground crewman. Sometimes,when he reported a plane ready to fly, he'd tell the pilot. The pilot would say - "OK, Sergeant. Hop aboard and let's take a test flight"

#11 I saw an officer take a .38 round in the vest during a shooting. He acted as if the round penetrated and started digging at his skin under the vest. Apparently the vest stops penetration but the vest punches a couple of inches into the skin while slowing the round. The officer said it hurt like hell but glad round didn't penetrate. I would NOT want to take an AK round while wearing a vest...it would have to knock you on your azz.
