9MM Vs 40 Layers of Ballistic Nylon #militarygear #nylon #bodyarmor #militaryhistory #tacticalgear
This video compares the ballistic resistance of 9mm and .40 caliber rounds against layers of ballistic nylon. While ballistic nylon was historically used in flak jackets during WWII and still finds applications in non-ballistic gear like luggage, it has been superseded by advanced materials like Kevlar in modern body armor. The test aims to demonstrate the performance of this older material when faced with modern handgun calibers, offering a look at its historical context and current limitations in protective applications.
