It's 49, and if you're trying to make your own armor, MAKE SURE YOU WATERPROOF IT. Kevlar piles, folds, and degrades FAST. As far as body armor
goes, if you want a good concealable vest, look up Second-Chance. I have one, and I wear it when I'm off duty and traveling; it's pretty light and
as long as you get a good fit it can feel like a second skin once you get used to it. If you're going for tactical armor for whatever reason, I can
recommend the Interceptor system (the one in the avatar photo) by Point Blank, as well as the MTV that replaced it (not sure if it's the same
manufacturer/distributor. I can personally attest that they'll catch multiple 7.62x39mm rounds as long as you have the trauma plates inserted (I was
able to successfully engage the guy that hit me after crawled my @$$ off the ground), which you'd probably be interested in anyway; if you're
wearing a tactical armor vest, things have gone way past extreme already. I've heard good things about Dragonskin, and a couple of my buddies bought
it, but they never took any impacts besides shrapnel while wearing it, so I can't say anything about how it performs ballistically. Hope some of that
helps.
