Since ancient times, the most important iron rule on the battlefield is to save yourself while destroying the enemy.
In ancient wars, soldiers were protected by thick armor, while in modern wars, soldiers had high-tech bulletproof vests to protect themselves.
For conventional bulletproof vests, a layer of steel plate should be added to the ordinary bulletproof vest. The steel plate is enough to resist the close shot of small caliber rifle or pistol.
If the opposite is a medium caliber rifle such as AK47, another layer of steel plate needs to be added. But many times, adding another layer of steel plate will not help. Because the AK47 is very aggressive, the double-layer steel plate can not protect the soldiers.
As a last resort, military experts from various countries began to develop new bulletproof equipment. This time, they chose ceramics.
The ceramic bulletproof insert plate is inserted into the bulletproof back center. Its application principle is similar to that of tank composite armor. It uses the density change of ceramic and steel plate to achieve the effect of protection and resistance.
Because the bullet will have obvious kinetic energy attenuation in different density materials. This is also the key to the bulletproof of ceramic insert plate
So what is the protective effect of ceramic bulletproof insert plate?
Not long ago, a soldier of Afghan special forces was hit in the back by Taliban soldiers with AK47. Because the special forces soldier wore a bulletproof vest with a ceramic insert plate.
So he only suffered a little skin injury, which later spread among military fans. Many people wonder whether the ceramic insert plate can resist the direct light of 12.7mm guns.
To this end, several foreign netizens specially conducted experiments, using Barrett anti equipment sniper rifle to direct the bulletproof vest with ceramic insert plate at a distance of 20 meters.
As a result, the ceramic insert plate was pierced, but the bulletproof vest was not pierced. The human body has suffered some serious injuries, but after evaluation, it will not die
Once this result was released, it also surprised many military fans. Military experts agreed that although 12.7mm bullets can cause damage to ceramic insert plate bulletproof vests.
This is the last bullet proof suit, but it’s still the last laugh.
There are three reasons why experts come to this conclusion. First, from the perspective of the use environment of bulletproof vests, second, from the perspective of the use environment of 12.7mm weapons, and third, from the perspective of probability
First of all, let’s talk about the first reason, that is, the use environment of bulletproof vests. In fact, the use of bulletproof vests is similar to that of helmets in order to reduce the casualty rate. It is obviously unrealistic to expect to wear bulletproof vests and become iron man.
From this point of view, it is obvious that the ceramic insert plate bulletproof vest has been done very well.
Secondly, let’s talk about the use of 12.7mm weapons. In modern war, 12.7mm guns are rare. This kind of guns are often anti equipment guns. It is impossible to have one hand like AK47.
If we can’t have one hand, we can’t see such a large caliber gun in many cases.
Even Barrett’s heavy sniper rifle is rare. In some African battlefields, there is no such weapon at all.
Even if it faced thousands of soldiers in new bulletproof vests, it could not give full play to its advantages.
Finally, let’s talk about probability. A soldier was hit by Barrett at a distance of 20 meters. How low is this probability? If you use Barrett rifle, will you make the enemy rush to 20 meters? Obviously, this kind of thing probably won’t happen, so the experiment itself is completed in an ideal state. It is based on the above three points that experts say that regardless of the test results, the bulletproof vest has won
