Let's not forget the impact/drop test and the flame/melt drip test.
Armor conditioned to these standards must stop the specified AP threats 100% of the time.
The number of complete penetrations we are looking for after these tests is ZERO.
And yes, if you can pass these tests, we will accept it from the lowest bidder
There is more to Army body armor testing than what you might see on the Discovery Channel.
