Not an actual duty vest.
In reality I don't think it can stop anything, that vest was like 15 years old and never taken care of.
Truth be known that size vest would be more appropriate for Kuwait, but it's nice to have the big one for the drive north.
We (M1 tankers) have a much smaller vest that we wear in the tank for ballistic protection. But it wouldn't really stop much of a round. Maybe an out of range 9 mil round, or a piece of shrapnel.
So you were in cop training or something?
