Nice read here:
The Box O' Truth #16 - Level IIIA Armor - Page 1
Look at what the 7.62x39 round does. Ouch!
--From the article---
Lessons learned:
1. Level IIIA armor stopped the handgun bullets tested, just as designed. Either JHPs or Ball.
2. Once again, "Rifles are rifles and pistols are pistols". Rifles went right through, just as expected.
3. The armor stopped 00 Buck and Rifled Slugs.
4. If your adversery is wearing armor, don't depend on pistols or shotguns. Go for a rifle. As Clint Smith says, "The only purpose for a pistol is to fight your way back to the rifle you should have never laid down".
5. And, as always, shooting stuff is fun.
