vest or vestlike garment which bullets cannot penetrate (often worn by officers of the law)
A ballistic vest or bullet-proof vest is an item of
armor that absorbs the impact from gun-fired
projectiles and explosive fragments fired at the
torso. Soft vests made from layers of tightly-woven fibres protect wearers from projectiles fired from
handguns,
shotguns, and
shrapnel from explosives such as
hand grenades. When metal or ceramic plates are used with a soft vest, it can also protect wearers from shots fired from
rifles. Soft vests are commonly worn by
police forces, private citizens and private security guards, and hard-plate reinforced vests are mainly worn by combat soldiers in the armies of various nations as well as armed response police forces.
