Body armor is quite expensive, no question. However it's demonstrated to work, time and again. Kevlar cloth runs about $40 a yard, and I'm not sure that even multiple layers would work---the armor I've seen uses what appears to be Kevlar plates, not cloth.

A question you have to ask yourself is what your life is worth. Are you ready to try to make your own life-saving device which may or may not work when the time comes, in order to save a few hundred dollars---or even a thousand dollars?

Is Teflon bulletproof?

No, Teflon is not bulletproof. While Teflon coatings can reduce friction and provide some level of protection against wear and tear, they do not make a material bulletproof. Bulletproof materials typically consist of strong fibers like Kevlar or ceramics that are designed to stop bullets by absorbing and dispersing the impact energy.

Can a Bomb Squad suit stop a bullet?

Bomb squad suits are designed to protect against impacts and shrapnel from explosive devices, but they are not typically designed to stop bullets. While the thick padding and layers of fabric can provide some level of protection against certain types of firearms, they are not specifically bulletproof and may not be able to fully stop a bullet. It is always best to use specialized bulletproof vests or equipment for protection against firearms.


How is kevlar formed into a textile material?

Kevlar is formed into a textile material through a process called spinning, where the polymer solution is extruded through a spinneret to form long fibers. These fibers are then woven into a fabric or yarn, which can be further processed into various products like bulletproof vests or cut-resistant gloves.
