This video from Tática Civil explores the ballistic resistance of a solid block of Flex Seal, testing its effectiveness as potential body armor. Using a Hammer 12 shotgun, a Volquartsen .22 LR pistol, and a Walther .380 ACP pistol, the experiment demonstrates that Flex Seal does not provide adequate protection against firearm projectiles. The presenter, with high authority in gear testing, also showcases EDC equipment like the Vertx 2.0 Fanny Pack.
