This DIY armor was hit with 9mm as well as various shotgun loads, including birdshot, buckshot, and a slug… and the DIY armor stayed intact! Unsurprisingly, it didn’t survive any 5.56 rounds, but if it did then THAT would’ve been a miracle and he should be patenting the process right now.
In any case, they start off the video with testing various firearms and then show the build process at around the 5:00 mark. Of course, this DIY build shouldn’t be considered a substitute for REAL body armor, but it was neat to see that it could be done with a little ingenuity…
