pilot5 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hello Just wondering if anybody knows where I can get my hands on that new Gator Bullet proof vest or a supplier. Or any other suggestion on a manufacturer of a light weight vest that can stop a Ak47 round. The one I fly with now wieghts a ton and is hotter than stink. Suggestions, based on experience would be good. Cheers P5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot5 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Apparently there is a vest that is called dragon skin that will stop a 47 round. Cant find a supplier? Any help appreciated. P5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elan Head Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 My only experience with flak vests in aircraft is as a passenger, but the folks at Bullet Proof Me are very helpful, and very willing to work with civilians: http://www.bulletproofme.com/ They might have some suggestions for you.

Amphibious Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 be aware the Dragon-skin vest failed it's US Military trials. until that's cleared up you may want to look elsewhere. personally if I was after something to stop rifle round I'd be after a plate carrier. heavy, but your standard lightweight IIIA vest isn't going to stop a 7.62x39.
