I think it's both funny and yet could be useful. Kinda like people opening mail after Sept. 11th with surgical gloves and the postoffice workers wearing gas masks. Statistically even if this sniper claims 20 people in the end he'll only be as deadly as the Anthrax attack...
Which is kind of scary if you think about it...
This is one guy in only a few cities. Imagine if a terrorist network were to plant guys like this in many cities across the nation. Granted, not each one would get as many kills, but just thinking about it is somewhat horrifying.
(Probably in before the lock?)
What is YOUR point? How do you know I haven't done my research before posting? Compared to all the other Level II and IIA body armors at around $800-1500, this comes lowest at $430. Did you do your research before commenting?
BTW, you think you are whom? Why people living in the affected area under fear should care what YOU think about this snipper?
Your professor is an idiot. Tell her I said so. F*cking Californians need some sense slapped into 'em.
Those vest would probably stop a 9mm pistol rounds. Anything above that would just pierce through it like hot knife through butter.
Actually, it's
"FKed Up beyond all recognition."
It's from WWII and is a military expression used to describe well, something that is really screwed up.
Another phrase from the same period which is still used today is FIGMO, which means "FK it, I got my orders." This usually was used to mean, "Don't bother me, I don't care, I got my orders (to PSC (Permenant Change of Station (as in reassigned to another location) and I'm outta here."

We have NOT established that the vest is USELESS even against the most recent sniper.
It's a simple matter of physics that this vest will stop a certain amount of mass traveling at a certain velocity. There is an inverse relationship between these two items. This means that, if a bullet was shot at you and that bullet was:
A) shot from far enough away that the velocity was small when it hit
or
B) was slowed by being shot through something (like a car door)
...then this vest COULD make the difference between being torn up and being bruised badly. The chances may be small, but there is a chance which only the ignorant would refuse to see.
AGREED SOME IS BETTER THAN NONE
EXAMPLE CONDOMS BREAK
SO STOP WEARING THEM
U IDIOTS ARE FOOLS TO SCRUTINIZE SOME ONE FOR POSTING IF IT SLOWS DOWN THE BULLET FROM MAKIN YOUR INSIDES A PINBALL MACHINE ID BE VERY GRATEFULL
I realize some are stressed over the events unfolding. but i think if u are that upset too through a fit.
maybe we need to get some shrink coupons for them guys.
rant off

Agreed.. you must be a very sick person to find an innocent person being killed funny.
Besides the point this bullet proof vest isn't meant for a high powered rifle. I think the muzzle velocity would be around 3000 ft/sec.
by the title of this thread, it makes it seem as if your trying to be funny-however, once i read the thread....i relized your not trying to be funny.
btw- well known? nah its not well known because i personally didint know that the bullet the sniper is using would shred a bullet proof vest.

uhm buddy, not really stupid to those living in the dc area.
Here's a bullet proof vest for $125!
According to their spam:
"MADE IN ISRAEL... WHITE UNDERSHIRT STYLE..LIGHTWEIGHT AT JUST 4 POUNDS... ADJUSTABLE SIZE ONE SIZE FITS ALL... STOPS 22 LONG RIFLE HIGH VELOCITY, 38 SPECIAL ROUND NOSE, 45 ACP FULL METAL JACKET, 357 MAGNUM HIGH VELOCITY AND OTHER HIGH POWERED MUNITIONS. MAXIMUM DEPTH DEFORMATION 1.73 INCHES."

Sometimes a little assurance, whether real or imagined, is all that's needed.
I'd buy that $125 one on the chance that it slowed a shot down...
I agree that these jackets would probably do nothing in stoping a high powered rifle bullet or absorb enough energy to do any good BUT that is no reason to crap on this guy that was just trying to help. I'm sure none of you have never made a "less than informed" decision b/f....
btw.... sometimes i do wonder if you ever read any middle posts Spanky
