I’d wager this wasn’t one of their first tests (and maybe not even a test at all). Looks to me like an advertisement/publicity stunt/demonstration.
I could be easily wrong since I haven’t researched this exact event, but I think it’s safe to assume it’s more than just a test since they have cameras out.
Even if it does work being shot hurts like hell. Just test it on things that don’t feel pain a measure it? You could also totally die from internal bleeding even if the bullet was stopped by a vest.
I mean, what better way to sell a new and untrusted device than to put your own trust (and life) in the product.
Would you sell a bullet proof vest if you didn’t feel safe wearing it?
Would you buy a bullet proof vest if its own inventor didn’t feel safe wearing it?
Sure. But I’d test it on something else first and be damn sure it’d work before trying this.
Oh 100% you’re right.
