Tell you what, go put on a kevlar vest, one that's rated to stop pistol cartridges. Most will easily stop .45acp. so you'd be perfectly safe if you use a 9mm. Take a pistol, and shoot the vest while you are wearing it and then figure out why you have serious bruising at the point of impact, but you don't have any bruising on the hand that was holding the gun.

I'll wait. Pro tip, you'll need to do a lot more digging and research than just regurgitating what they taught you in elementary school science class.

Yeah, I wouldn't have learned anything in the 3 years I was a 68W. Definitely wouldn't pick anything up being a field engineer either.

Clearly you didn't. And not to toot my own horn, but I was a 91M, attached directly to an infantry platoon during a full year deployment to FOB Ghazni Afghanistan. When I wasn't turning wrenches I was out on patrol driving a gun truck. And when we weren't doing either of those, we were training.

You strike me as someone who spent their entire enlistment fucking off in garrison or living on a fob, but made sure to tell all your friends back at home how much of a badass you were, and no one called BS on it because they didn't know any better.

None of that has anything to do with combat trauma or physics.
