bulletproof vest
ι²εΌΎγγ§γγ λ°©ν볡 ι²ε½θεΏ γγ¬γΌγγγ£γͺγ’
Personal armor that helps absorb the impact and reduce or stop penetration to the body from firearm-fired projectiles and shrapnel from explosions, and is worn on the torso. The armor itself is integral to the vest, i.e. stitched in.
The armor can either be of a soft nature, ex. kevlar, of a harder nature, ex. hard ceramic/polymer scales, or a mix of the two, such as plate carriers, which hold protective trauma plates and soft armour plates/panels typically made of durable nylon and often covered in MOLLE/PALS webbing to allow the mounting of various ammunition and general purpose pouches (though there are "slick" versions without MOLLE/PALS webbing).
