Improvised Body Armor Made From Amazon UHMWPE?
This video tests the ballistic resistance of solid UHMWPE sheets purchased from Amazon, simulating improvised body armor. Despite varying thicknesses and ammunition types, including 9mm rounds, the sheets failed to stop any projectiles. Even when stacked, the material showed significant penetration, melting, and tumbling of bullets, concluding it's not a viable substitute for professional body armor.
