It weights about 14 lbs and it hurts me to shoot it if wearing a t-shirt. Despite a nice Morgan recoil pad ..... I rather suspect that body armor would be launched out the other side of the wearers body if hit properly.. Ive chronoed it..and no one ever believes me when I tell em how fast they are moving until they fire a round themselves at distance. Gunner Kills at one end and maims at the other, eh? Yeah, you guys can have your mean old bolt guns. I'll pick one up from a bad guy I take down with the little SKS. Just in case I need a real long reach. But nowadays, I can't see that far, anyway, even with my bifocals. deep sigh I viewed one of YouTube's .458 Socom vids and it showed one penetrating a kevlar helmet and bouncing off the other side. I don't think I'd want to take a hit from one, even with the helmet on, eh? It works well enough against LEO body armor and military armor without the trauma plate. Even with the trauma plate its going to sting more than a smidgeon. Indeed. Body armor may prevent the penetration of a projectile..but its flexible enough that the recpient will think he was hit by a sledge hammer. So it doesnt kill him..its damned sure gonna bust some ribs and put him in a world of hurt for a bit. And if he gets up again..one simply shoots him in the head where he isnt protected by the helmet..or below the armor..which is in the groin (think sledge hammer again) or in the armpit through the arm..which is generally a fatal wound..as the round then penetrates the lungs, heart and other lung..causing him to bleed out in a very short period of time...or under the helmet in the face, neck etc. Again thats not a would you are going to shake off. The way it explodes, or I should say "vaporizes", watermelons, I'd guess it would sever a limb pretty easily. It's a mean round. Thats one of the advantages OF a bolt action with a decent scope and accurate ammo. You can shoot him someplace there isnt any armor. Yeah, accuracy has its moments, but within 200yds, almost any scoped rifle will handle that. What did you think of the West article Backdoor Gun Control? Banning lead, calling full copper bullets "cop killers", etc. are all leading to no bullets...as a design.
