yes depending on moisture and light they can dry rot in 3 years
They thought that it would protect them from serious damage eg. like the bulletproof jacket but it didn't so they unfortuanately died or unlikely survived with severe.
Most tactical vests have flak inserts inside them. Usually they have Velcro pockets where these inserts can be removed from. After you get the inserts out most can be washed in a machine. Just be sure to use the cold setting and something like oxyclean on the really nasty parts.
Not effective ones. Manganese steel plates were fitted to vests for some gun crews, but they were heavy, bulky and hard to produce. There were nylon "flak jackets" issued to some airmen and to other specialized soldiers, but they only stopped slow-moving shrapnel or spalling. The rifles of World War II were powerful enough to shoot through them. Ceramic and Kevlar vests were developed for helicopter crews in the Vietnam era (1970) but were not mass produced until the 1980's, when they began to be distributed to police officers.
There are several types of bullet proof vests that have been invented. For details, see the attached link.
It depends. If it is a foot thick, definitely. but if the steel is only a few inches or less than an inch, it isn't. steel isn't strong enough on it's own to be bulletproof.
No
no, it isn't. Kevlar is the material in bulletproof vests
The primary material used in bulletproof vests is Kevlar in several layers. There are many types of bulletproof vests, many of which include special inserts. The actual construction of bulletproof vests and other bulletproof clothing (they make bulletproof suit coats even!) is not really different than making other clothing items, but they adhere to a higher level of quality during construction.
yes they are
With bulletproof vests and AK47s.
Bulletproof vests are generally worn for personal protection against bullets. They are typically worn by members of police officer SWAT teams, security guards or patrol officers.
Bulletproof or "bullet resistant" vests are usually made from Kevlar. However they may also be made from Lexan or carbon fiber composites. It is also filled with three or four layers of those material.
They were all invented by women .
Yes they do but in wars all the way up to the Vietnam war they didn't.

Bullet proof vests are legal in the state of California unless you have been convicted of a felony.
they both save you from death? bullet proof vests are made of kevlar if that helps...
