This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a Beretta 92FS Brigadier firing 9x19mm Parabellum rounds against soft body armour, specifically Kevlar®. It highlights the concept of terminal ballistics and the effectiveness of soft armour in slowing down pistol-calibre rounds, while noting its limitations against rifle calibres and the potential for blunt force trauma to the wearer. The demonstration serves as a reference for body armour development and testing, emphasizing the trade-offs between protection, weight, and mobility.
