Just for a fact,that a bullet-proof belong is not absolutely bullet-proof. Rather, the absolute of which the belong is fabricated resists assimilation by bullets beneath a assertive active activity threshold; already the anatomy and/or the acceleration of the ammo is afflicted so that the activity contour of the ammo exceeds the threshold, assimilation will absolutely occur. Thus we can accept bullets accursed from a gun that can be chock-full by a vest, and bullets accursed from absolutely the aforementioned gun that can not be chock-full by the vest.
