If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough!
For the young lions on INGO: The owner of Second Chance body armour used to shoot himself with a .44 to demo his vests. However, he would stuff phone books behind his vest to soak up the transfer of engery to his pizza paunch.
There was a popular video tape from the '80s which featured him shooting himself while wearing a vests and shooting the host of the video with an FAL.
A well-known gun writer shot himself at a seminar . . . but failed to pad his vest with a phone book, similar results were achieved.
I also know (and I have seen it) that some law enforcement units shoot at eachother while wearing bullerproof vests with a clay target fixed on their chest.
They do it from 15 yards or so away, it's mainly a trust test to see if each agent trusts the aim of the other (since if they miss they get a head shot ).
