Who Carries a Gun?

Is the .223 able to pass through body armor because of it's high velocity? If this were the case then a 7.62 with lower velocity would not but I know that a 7.62 would. So the larger the round (basically anything larger than average pistol caliber) is armor defeating?

I need to know soon, I am gonna go into the bell tower above the cop shop in an hour. Just kidding!

A riffle bullet will go through a level I, IIA, II, IIIA, cause these are "soft body armor". Level III and IV are rather plates that you place inside your jacket. They can usually stop .223 and many others. IV will also stop armor piercing bullets.

What can you use to defeat a soft body armor among pistol calibers ? A desert Eagle .50AE, a good .357 mag. is always worth the try, a 105 gr. 9mm AP, a 40 gr. THV 9mm, at some point a .357 sig.,

but look, dont waste your time, just go for the head instead.

Just a bit curious, how difficult is it for criminals to get a gun?

it's easier for them. They get their guns on the black market. There you can either buy them or simply rent one for a night.
