in light of the Africa mall shootings i found myself asking if a vest/or a plate carrier would stop a magnum 12ga slug? If you were on the second floor of dicks in gwood for instance there would be a considerable advantage over an attacker. The only two ways up are the escalators and the elevator assuming of course you couldn't get to safety and had to fight. I dont believe the terrorist were armored but it did seem like an interesting topic at least to me. I wouldn't be in dicks sporting goods for the stance they took on ar15s but i still wondered the effects of slugs on vests.
I also couldn't remember if during the north Hollywood shootout if the police had slugs or just buckshot. Im also inclined to think that a slug without penetration could be temporarily incapacitating.
So does anyone have experience with this?
