Are Carhartt Jackets Bulletproof?
This test was conducted because of the curiousity caused by the NYPD's May 2016 Officer-involved shooting wherein the officers reported that they hit someone with five shots, but four of those bullets bounced off the target's Carhartt jacket. Could this be true? Are Carhartt jackets bulletproof? Or bullet-resistant?
There are some old stories about heavy clothing stopping .38 wadcutter, but a person would need some designated body armor to stop a round of modern ammunition designed for self defense.
