Videos tagged with Armor Scam

This video discusses the Shot Stop Ballistics 'armor scam' where the company allegedly sold non-American made products misrepresented as American. The speaker clarifies that while NIJ certification is crucial for government sales, it's not always a requirement for civilian armor, emphasizing the importance of independent testing and research. The video also addresses retailer responsibility, stating that individual retailers are generally not liable for manufacturer fraud unless they are part of a complete armor system sale.

This video details the dissolution of Shot Stop Ballistics due to a scam involving the use of Chinese-manufactured materials in body armor, which was falsely advertised and sold as US-made. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) certification process requires products to be made with specified materials from US vendors. Shot Stop was caught using non-US materials, leading to failed random testing and the company's demise. Consumers and agencies are advised to contact vendors to check if their armor is affected and seek replacements.
