Body Armor Chart Protection Levels

[QKShooter]

Neat! I like the way the chart is done.
It displays the actual stopped bullets.
Somebody sent it to me VIA E-mail a while back.
I thought that I would share it.
I do not know who originally designed the chart.

Disclaimer: I have absolutely no idea how accurate this is.
I am showing it for the graphic design of the chart only.
Your body armor maker will have their own protection levels
listed on their web page.

Most useful pic QK - however - is it available in a higher res version? I suspect not but it'd be nice to get more detail.

Nonetheless, a very interesting selection. Thx

Intersting stuff i would be intersted in what the difference in weight between the 3 levels of Body armor is

No...that's all I have.
It's a jpeg & I uploaded it at 100%.
I tried to print it myself (back when) & it sure does not print very well.
Sorry.
