Armour

[Goats]

If someone is wearing a bulletproof helmet and you shoot them in the head, the force of the bullet will cause their spine to snap. It is to protect from shrapnel.

If you shoot someone in the chest and they are wearing a vest, the kinetic energy will kill them if it is high enough, even if the round does not penetrate due to causing trauma and haemorrhage of the internal organs.

Slugs from a 12ga shotgun will do this at the appropriate range.

No, a bullet hitting a helmet will not break someone's neck

Bullet resistant vests are impact rated, and designed to disperse the kinetic energy. Unless you're talking about really heavy bullets like a 45-70 of 12ga use against soft body armor designed for handgun rounds there's little chance of significant internal injury

^ that.  the energy required to separate a vertebra, much less dislocate a disk, with a head shot is more than any normal shoulder-fired rifle has.  (dont be a smartass and start including .50bmg or big-game sized rifles)

first and foremost, there is no such thing as 'bulletproof'

there are many instances of direct impacts of 7.62x54 at medium range on current-issue helmets where the wearer received little more than a concussion.  7.62x52 is one of the most common and hardest-hitting shoulder fired rifle calibers, more 'powerful' than 7.62x39 and the 5.56xcrap

vest?  if you shoot someone in the chest and theyre wearing a vest the vest will get a hole in it.  if you meant body armor, the effect of the kinetic energy of the bullet is dependent on what class of armor (III?  IV? more? less?) and if theyre wearing any type of hard-plates as reinforcement.  the distance between the shooter and the target factors in as well.

slugs from a 12ga are the same as any other bullet when it comes to energy dispersion equations and are no better or worse. lead slugs tend to be softer than the harder jacketed rifle bullets so deform more readily.

again...you get an 'a' for effort but your application sucks a festering niggers penis

You can penetrate a helmet with a rifle.

True

Got a vest and a helmet ehhh... Looks like I'm going to shoot you in the dick.

Allot of body armor is over rated, It does have its use for protecting against shots to the center mass but if you know the human body and where to shoot only so much will save you.

depends on what sort of helmet u retard

If armor is shaped in correctly right way, then projectiles simple "bounce off" and one wearing the armor becomes what is essentially "attack-proof" and must be engaged in melee combat.

Yes, and that shape is only effective in one direction.  90' from that is the optimal shape for penetration
