What are the common types of bulletproof equipment? How much do you know about this?

Common bulletproof equipment mainly includes bulletproof vests, bulletproof shields and bulletproof helmets. It is an individual soldier's body protection equipment, used to effectively protect oneself from the damage caused by bullets and bullets to the human body. Bulletproof equipment is not only of great significance in large-scale wars, but also in peacetime, it is an indispensable protective equipment for military and police personnel to maintain social security and stability.
①.Bulletproof Vest
Bulletproof vests are mainly composed of two parts: a jacket and a bulletproof layer. Clothes covers are often made of chemical fiber fabrics. The bulletproof layer is made of metal (special steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy), ceramic sheets (corundum, boron carbide, silicon carbide, alumina), fiberglass, nylon (PA), Kevlar (KEVLAR), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene Fiber (DOYENTRONTEX Fiber), liquid protective materials, polyimide fiber (PI) [2] and other materials form a single or composite protective structure.
The bulletproof layer can absorb the kinetic energy of warheads or shrapnel, and has a significant protective effect on low-speed warheads or shrapnel. It can reduce the damage to the human chest and abdomen while controlling a certain depression. Body armor includes infantry body armor, flight personnel body armor and artillery body armor, etc. According to appearance, it can also be divided into bulletproof vests, full protection bulletproof vests, women's bulletproof vests and other types.
②.Bulletproof Helmet
The bulletproof helmet is composed of a helmet shell (including edges) and a suspension buffer system (including hood hoops, buffer layers, chin straps, and connectors). The helmet shell is laminated and formed from aramid-impregnated woven fabric. It should be comfortable and stable to wear.

In addition to bulletproof capabilities, the design of bulletproof helmets also needs to take into account the mobility of the wearer's head. The best ballistic helmets can withstand Class 3A attacks (can stop bullets fired from a .44 Magnum revolver). In addition, most bulletproof helmets can be equipped with communication equipment and night vision equipment, which can not only reduce the impact of stun bomb explosions or gunfire sounds on personnel's eardrums, but also help team members maintain communication with teammates or headquarters in high-decibel noise environments. contact.
③.Bulletproof Shield
Bulletproof shields are mostly rectangular and curved sheet objects, usually with handles on the back that are easy to hold. As an extremely effective bulletproof equipment, it can be used with body armor to achieve the best effect. The more common bulletproof shields in China are handheld bulletproof shields and wheeled bulletproof shields.

The handheld bulletproof shield is made of super-strong fiber materials such as Kevlar aramid and high-strength flame-retardant fiberglass using a special process. The product is light and flexible, has good comprehensive ballistic resistance and a high level of ballistic resistance.
④.Bulletproof Plate
Bulletproof inserts plate are usually made of polymer materials UHMWPE, Kevlar aramid and ceramic materials. They are light, easy to carry and not easily deformed. Different levels of bulletproof inserts can resist bullet attacks to different degrees.
The most common ones on the market are usually NIJ III/IV standard bulletproof inserts. They add aluminum oxide or silicon carbide ceramics to high-strength materials to make them resistant to warhead attacks. The installation of bulletproof panels provides additional protection for soldiers and can improve survivability in dangerous battlefield environments. With the advancement of technology and changes in the war environment, the application of bulletproof panels may become more and more widespread. For soldiers, safety is always the most important thing, and the addition of bulletproof panels can provide additional protection, allowing them to respond more calmly on the battlefield.
