3 Ways to Stop the .223/5.56 (M855) Ammunition Ban

They make is sound like most rifle bullets will not go through both
sides of the level III-A vest..
You really need a ballistic plate to stop a rifle and even then, not
all rifles.

Are there any handguns set up for the .223/5.56 (M855) round?

If so, that might be the reason. Or maybe they are concerned about a
sawed off AR-15 type?

I once met a guy who got hit in the vest twice in one day by AK-47
rounds. He said that neither one penetrated but each hit left him
with a really bad bruise.
