Hmm, I'm now envisioning a cuff on the proximal arm with a ball-joint
omnidirectional lever attached to a mobile plate with a hinge attached to the
side of the body armor. When the arm comes up to shooting position, the plate
comes up to protect the armpit.
Also, I saw a special on bulletproof jackets about a year or two ago, which
looked at the difficulties in developing a bulletproof vest that could
effectively stop more than one shot-- that is any shot on any part of the vest,
not necessarily even the same place. Has that changed at all?
Just about any vest will stop more than one shot; just because a vest
stops a round, or a round punches through it, doesn't mean it's lost
it's protective value. In the general area where the impact occurred it
may loose some of it's protective qualities, but the vest is still
viable. At the end of the shift, however, I'd certainly turn it in for
a new one.
