Default Bulletproof...polo shirt?

Check out this new line of bulletproof clothing. Make sure you watch the video, they take one of the articles of clothing for a test ride.

I wonder if that was a custom cartridge that he got shot with, mabey less powder. I am sorry, but i just don't see a thin flexible fabric keeping a bullet from hurting you, even if it can't penetrate it will still hurt you, a lot. unless its that stuff that stiffens when something moving very fast impacts it.

Hahaha Steven Segal got one.. that stuff reminds me of this shirt my brother just got me last week. It's made out of 100% kevlar and it's supposed to be able to withstand the road if you fall off of your bike. It's suprisingly light and breathable but I have pulled on the material with a friend and it didn't stretch or anything.. it was about $170 though. I've wondered if it can withstand a bullet.

That looked l i k e a .38 and I bet it was downloaded at least, with less gunpowder but I dunno.. that bullet looked relatively well formed for h a v i n g just impacted with something.

Would you trust a BP shirt from someone who can't even hang their picturs on their wall straight? See vid at 46 seconds.
