VestGuard UK Body Armour Stopping Power NIJ


International standards must be applied to the evaluation and purchase of all armour products. The NIJ [National Institute of Justice - USA] has for many years defined acceptable standards for the test and evaluation of all levels of armour. These standards can be easily modified in accordance with each customer's operational requirements. The importance of adopting a standard for the evaluation and acceptance of armour, both pre and post contract cannot be emphasised enough, by doing so both the supplier and the buyer can repeat the evaluation test accurately and measure the performance of all products against a known and agreed standard.

(Bold type denotes NIJ Certification Bullets)

While few Law Enforcement Officers have been shot on their VestGuard UK Body Armour without serious lasting ill-effects, no one can make any absolute guarantees of the effects of the impact of any one bullet on any one spot of any individual person.

It is impossible to list the astronomical number of combinations of calibre's, brands, bullet types and weight and barrel lengths of guns available. For example: Any VestGuard UK Level IIA vest or thicker will also stop all .44 Specials, .45 Long Colt, .445 Webley. VestGuard IIA even stops the 8mm Japanese Nambu submachine gun. (Only four known to exist in the US)

Obviously there is no armour of any kind, which cannot be penetrated. On the positive side, there is no projectile, which cannot be stopped! If you have ballistic requirements or questions, give us a call.
