Question

How does it feel like to get shot while wearing a bullet proof vest?

Answer 1

it feels like someone punched u really hard and it made u go about 5 feet back but u wont die or bleed it justs hurts a lot thats why people still fall when they get shot with it

Answer 2

you can feel it, it hurts and scares the sh*t out of you coz u think u died

Answer 3

HAVE SOMEONE HIT ON THE CHEST WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER.

Answer 4

i served two tours in iraq and we have really thick plates inside our vests, but i did get shot in the back. if you have someone punch you REALLY hard while you are totally relaxed and dont know its coming that would be pretty close.have them punch you in the back or ribs that seems like a good spot. you should get some good bruising and definately get the wind knocked out of you.

have fun with that one

Answer 5

I would think you would feel a vibration and some sort of impact, like hitting a pothole with shock absorbers in your car.

Answer 6

my guess is that it probably leaves a bruise behind where you get hit because such a fast object is being stopped in a small distance. but i suppose that it also depends on how far away the shooter is and what caliber of bullet

Answer 7

A hellofa lot better than being shot without one!!!

Answer 8

Well, I got shot in the d**n shoulder, just past where the IBA ends, so, sorry, I can't really explain any possible difference.  I would imagine just as painful as where i took it.

Answer 9

It hurts, how do you expect it to feel?

Answer 10

It feels no different than getting shot without one. The bullets passed right through my calf and hand and I didn't feel a thing....at first.
