Cheers, I bet they're frigging heavy, and yeah, I also imagine that taking a hit like that would render you somewhat ineffective in the immediate aftermath.

(I shoot .308, and IIRC there's no measurably significant difference in energy imparted to the target between .308 and 7.62x51 with the same weight pill, although, as is often the case with guns, a slight difference in pressure rating for the brass leads to a bunch of folk theories)

I'm doing reseach for my script for a movie, where an evil European accent takes hostages in a food court to extort Cinnabon Reward Points, the working title is Die Hardee's - Death Comes To Us Mall.

...I apologise for the puns, but it was hard to resist. But yeah, having seen what a .308 does to a deer, I was struggling to imagine how you'd defend against that in a ballistic vest.
