Bulletproof vests

Bulletproof vests are body armor designed to absorb or deflect bullets and other projectiles, reducing injury risk. They are made from strong materials like Kevlar or other synthetic fibers, woven tightly to create a protective barrier. The vests are rated based on their ability to withstand specific calibers and velocities of bullets, with levels indicating the level of protection. Generally, they are worn by law enforcement, military personnel, and security personnel to enhance safety during threats. While not completely impervious, well-made vests greatly increase survival chances by preventing penetration and slowing down projectiles.
