And another question.

Anyone else notice that the 60 below test that is listed as a catastophic failure because of disc "slippage," everyone can see that the discs are in different places before and after testing, got 4 "OK," ratings? Wow is that just dumb luck that after a catastophic failure of the adhesive the discs slip out of their intended places and the vest still stopped 8, I think they fire 2 shots at each side front back left and right, shots? These tests have some weird stuff to talk about. Something made me laugh about this observation "how catastophic can a failure be if after it happens 8 level IV threats in the form of 7.62x63 APM2 Armor Piercing bullets are stopped." Also I found it strange that the Germans NBC hired to test the IBA and the DS refused to tell the caliber of the round fired at the vests but the army released it in their .pdf, maybe since the NBC test came before the army released the .pdf they were just playing it safe.
