Body armor is currently a relatively common military and police equipment, and it is also widely used. Since this type of equipment is used by a small number of people after all, many people do not know it well, and thus have a cognitive misunderstanding of this type of military and police equipment. Here are three common misunderstandings in real life.

One is that it can only effectively resist the bullets of the pistol, but for rifles or machine guns, there is no defensive ability. In fact, it is not the case. From ordinary pistol bullets to more common rifle and machine gun bullets, you can find corresponding bulletproof equipment to play a very good defense effect. Nowadays, some elite troops can even withstand the firing of machine guns from 10 meters away. Therefore, the current bulletproof equipment can not only defend against ordinary pistols, but also form a defensive protection against higher levels of lethality.

Second, body armor will cause secondary injuries, and in severe cases, it may also cause internal organ damage. This worry is not unreasonable, after all, the lethality of bullets is obvious to all. It is definitely impossible to avoid minor bruises if you are shot wearing bulletproof equipment, but now the technology of bulletproof equipment is more advanced. If the bulletproof level of the equipment is large enough, the probability of injury after wearing bulletproof equipment will be greatly reduced, and it is almost impossible to have internal organs. Serious injuries such as damage.

The third is that this kind of military and police equipment is heavier, and its mobility is significantly reduced after being put on, and the resistance when performing tasks is relatively large. In fact, military and police equipment is not as heavy as we think. Generally, a body armor with a defensive function is formed through a soft coat and a suitable insert plate. When performing different tasks, the appropriate plug-in board will be selected according to the situation. Generally speaking, the weight will not exceed 5 kilograms. For strong fighters or police, it can be said that the impact on the action is minimal.
