A friend had an 'old' ves we shot at this weekend and was very interesting.  we draped the vest over an old log standing on end.  it stopped EVERY pistol round we shot at it using the 9mm and .40.  It even stopped the evil "cop killer" black talon rounds.  All shots were at about 10 yards.

Laid on a log? I thought having a solid object in back defeats the effects.

the log did move some and was dry maybe allowing some "flex"
It was not a scientific-ackle test.
