If a bulletproof vest is able to stop a bullet, it will not be able to do anything against the energy of the projectile which will be fatally absorbed by the human body at the moment of impact. This trauma can be considerable depending on the caliber used and the area of the body that is affected. Choosing a good bulletproof vest: There are two main families of bulletproof vests: Kevlar (Aramides) and Dyneema (Polyethylenes). Kevlar: a synthetic yellow fiber 5 times stronger than steel and much lighter. Very good tensile and chemical resistance. However, it is not recommended in hot countries due to its high thermal absorption capacity. Dyneema: a white fiber very resistant to shocks, to corrosive chemicals except acids. Self-lubricating and very resistant to abrasion. This material is perfectly recommended in hot countries because its thermal power is much lower.
