Self Testing BulletProof Vests is just Bad Gun Handling. This is scary. Don’t do it. You could kill your friend!
I can’t believe I even need to say this, but don’t test your body armor.
Especially when drunk.
Each time it is hit it gets weakened and of course you have the risk that your buddy is going to miss the panel.
Why do I show these videos? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
Clearly this is a violation of Rule 1. Shooting your buddy is not safe. I don’t care if he strapped on a vest first. I get it. You get curious. Will this vest really stop a bullet. Go buy a gel torso and strap your vest to that. Shooting at your buddy is not the way to test if the vest is going to work or not.
