Bullet proof vests to stop the 5.7x28mm ammunition.

A NIJ-4 bulletproof plate in conjunction with a NIJ-3A bulletproof vest can stop most types of 5.7x28mm ammunition. A NIJ-4 Stand Alone can stop almost all 5.7x28mm ammunition. Both types of bulletproof vests can be purchased online in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. We can not export bulletproof vests to the United States.

The discussion that is going on in The United States today between Vanguard Outfitters and Elite Ammunition about who invented the first 5.7x28mm controlled fragmentation ammunition is rather pointless, considering that we as VBR-Belgium patented already controlled fragmentation in 2003 and had already developed the 5.7x28mm B3PF, 5.7 x28mm TB and 5.7x28mmC2F bullets.

information about these VBR-Belgium bullets was already put online at that time.

Thanks to the first VBR-Belgium controlled fragmentation bullet points where the weight of each fragment can be determined beforehand and in this way also the penetration depth of each fragment, begins to become more and more interested in the 5.7x28 mm caliber. Although the SS190 bullet is already in military circles well on the market, it has a not so good reputation for stopping power. The controlled fragmenting projectiles in copper or brass are gradually starting a breakthrough on the police market where piercing a NIJ-3A bulletproof vest with a deep penetration of the fragments is sufficient.

A number of loose pieces of Kevlar do not meet the resistance of a normal NIJ-3A bulletproof package. We have certified NIJ-3A bullet proof packages of 250x300mm.
.
Increasing the permanent wound canal and increasing of the chance to hit a vital organ where first a soft bulletproof vest NIJ-3A is penetrated has already attracted the attention of various police forces. As a result, a number of new weapons will soon come on the market in the 5.7x28mm that were not developed or made by FN Herstal.
