RE: Armour
I can tell you that the standard British Army `Flak jacket`, commonly refereed to as a bullet proof jacket,...is not actually bulletproof,.. its small arms fire proof, and flak proof, and in most cases shotgun proof, but it would not stop a rifle bullet, unless long distance was a factor, having said that if I was looking for protection, I would buy one, they are light weight, and easy to wear and also protect the neck to a certain degree

I am talking about the older flak jacket, as in the link below,... they may well be a better version out since I left the Army

A major part of survival is invisibility.
