An ESAPI Will stop a .338 Lapua, you still be dead from massive BFD but it does stop it.

Its the velocity that makes it penetrate the plate. Sails thru both I bet.

IF you have good plates, and they are hanging and not fixed, it might go through. My buddy shot his 110 BA at my 1/2 plates and it barley marked them.

Not sure if they'll stop it, but I bet the energy getting through would do serious damage to the wearer anyway.
