bullet resistant, not bullet proof, big difference

Soldiers in Northern Ireland and other theatre wear bullet proof body armour and it has metal plates in the padding, thick plates to stop rounds, this suit doesn't

Funny how you'd go to northern ireland first :D

Doesn't matter really, looks like a regular suit, might stop a low caliber, but most assasinations are done with rifles that can take you out even with body armor.

Not to mention, headshots.

When talking personal armor, i think the 50 cal would take out most. So technically there's no 100% proof but...well...semantics :)

Well, there are some heavy layer body plating armor that can absorb .50 caliber rounds. But it weighs ALOT!

Its all to do with the density of the plate. The suit El Presidente is only resistant and not proof

The guy behind Obama (left of the photo, just behind) looks like he has seen something really cool or is thinking about lunch.

Why doesn't Obahma walk around with a bullet proof cage around him?
