MED EX Body Armor Bullet Proof Vest Ballistic panels set Level 2 II

Description

This is for a set of soft ballistic PANELS only! Carrier NOT included!
Lightweight and Thin!  Made with Kevlar and designed for concealable (worn under clothing with compatible carrier) bullet proof vests and Body Armor. These panels are surplus and are 100% serviceable and ready for duty. These Panels come from government contractors (DOD, State Dept., Etc.) and private security companies. These companies spared no expense when purchasing body armor and bought the most expensive, and state-of-the-art equipment at that time (especially when the government reimbursed them for 100% of all security expenses). These panels have been ?retired? due to the warranty expiration (usually after 5 years). These panels are 100% made in the USA.
These panels have had all sensitive and classified information (Contractor name, Company logo, government contract number, employee name, employee SSN#, and employee blood type) physically removed with a box cutter from the panel (see photos). Unfortunately, the Model, Model number, Date of manufacture, and size information had also been removed in the process.
This is a great opportunity to get reliable, American made, personal protection for a great price!

The NIJ tests all vests without the trauma plates (soft armor only). A trauma plate will absorb more of the blunt trauma impact than soft armor.
It is important to note that Level II-A, II and III-A all stop the overwhelming majority of pistol projectiles you are ever likely to encounter (plus 12 gauge, OO buckshot), and also to know that NO armor is ever 100% ?bulletproof? under ALL conceivable circumstances.
However, these ratings often have a safety margin for penetration because blunt trauma is usually the limiting factor in certification. For example, Level II body armor would likely stop the III-A test standard, (9 mm submachine gun at 1400 fps) from actually PENETRATING through the Level II vest. But, the Level II vest would fail on blunt trauma impact (the NIJ deems any dent greater than ~1.7" (~44 mm.) on the soft clay test surface, a FAIL).
So, the advantage in increasing protection Levels from II-A, to II, to III-A, is NOT so much protection from PENETRATION of pistol fire, but a significant reduction in the blunt trauma received.
