Bulletproof vests

There are three main ways body armor protects the wearer. Some vests will implement more than one. Most ballistic materials stop bullets by:

• Changing the shape of the bullet.
• Reducing the speed of the bullet.
• Dissipating energy from the collision with the shell.

Aramid slows down the bullet in its fibrous layers, which compress the tip into a less dangerous round shape. Steel plates are strong enough to break impacting bullets before compressing and dispersing energy through the armor. Ceramic armor shatters on impact, distributing the force across each broken piece and away from the body. The material is strong enough to crack the bullet and transmit the energy through the shards.

PE armor melts at the point of impact due to friction. The softened armor slows the bullet to a stop and then hardens. The bullet affects only the direct impact area, preventing the armor from shattering.

Whether you're preparing for a heavily armed threat or want security for your night out, Atomic Defense has you covered. Body armor is a reliable source of protection for any police officer, soldier or civilian.
