Most bulletproofing that you would wear that isn’t actually armor is not stab proof.

Also, it’s trivial to make effective rifle armor out of AR500 steel, Rhino Liner (or other bed liner) as a spall guard and a nylon/Velcro plate carrier which will not tax a third year cosplayer in the least to sew.

It just occurred to me that lots of cosplayers are really good seamstresses.

My youngest is into cosplay, and seeing the amount of work that goes into a costume that may only be used for a half day one time is impressive.
