If you get hit by a slug without the Kevlar it will be curtains. If you get hit by a slug with Kevlar and at a long range, then the impact might not be quite as bad as it would be at closer range and you might just survive. It is unlikely however that you would be up & moving about or in any state of cohesion immediately or for a while after the impact. The energy dump would be immense but the wearing of the Kevlar vest might make the difference between surviving or not. Of course the probability of wearing a Kevlar vest at the right time as being shot at with shotgun slugs and that they hit you on the Kevlar is exceedingly exceedingly low, so this is more of a technical point than a reality. Still it is a valid & interesting discussion and overlaps into other areas. Regards, TL :-)
