Bulletproof vest related content

With the development of technology, bulletproof vests have gradually evolved from bulky metal products to the lightweight vest style we are familiar with today. Modern bulletproof vests are mostly vest-style, that is, bulletproof vests. They are composed of a vest cover, a bulletproof layer, a cushioning layer and a bulletproof insert.

Structure and Materials of a Bulletproof Vest

Cover: Typically made of synthetic or wool-cotton fabric, it not only protects the internal bulletproof layer but also enhances its appearance. Some covers also feature pockets for conveniently carrying ammunition and other supplies.

Ballistic Layer: This is the core component of the bulletproof vest, typically made of materials such as metal, aramid fiber , and high-strength, high-modulus polyethylene. Its function is to deflect or trap penetrating bullets or explosive fragments.

Cushion: Dissipates impact energy and mitigates non-penetrating damage. Typically made of materials such as closed-cell knitted composite fabric and soft polyurethane foam.

Ballistic Plate: This plate enhances the protective capability of the bulletproof layer, primarily protecting against direct-fire rifle rounds and high-velocity small fragments.

Classification of Bulletproof Vests

Infantry Body Armor: Equipped by infantrymen and Marines, it protects against various types of fragments. Special Personnel Body Armor: This vest is based on infantry body armor, but adds neck, shoulder, and abdominal protection, increasing the protective area. Plate pockets are located on the front and back for inserting additional plates, enhancing ballistic performance.

Artillery Body Armor: This vest is primarily designed for use by artillery personnel during combat, providing protection against shrapnel and shockwaves.
