I found a similar post on here, so I thought this might be right place to post these questions.
Just recently I saw the movie "Hot Fuzz", in which the character of Simon Pegg takes a .22 WMR fired from a NAA Mini Revolver to the protected chest. He obviously survives and is back in action after a brief period of recovery.
Now this is a movie and doesn't adhere to realism but what would actually happen to a bullet-resistant vest wearer being hit by that kind of gun?
Reports of people being hit by more regular calibers (9mm, .45 ACP) describe a feeling of taking a sledgehammer to the chest leaving bruises and even broken ribs, what about smaller caliber fired from short handguns?
In short, what would .22 Short, .22 LR, .22 WMR, .25 ACP and .32 ACP fired from a short barreled handgun do to a wearer of Type IIA respectively Type IV body armor do?
