That alone would keep me from buying one.

I can just imagine people thinking, what a dork...

Let's, for the sake of argument, say that it will stop a bullet from penetrating (which I'd have to see to believe.) AND let's say, for the sake of argument, that it would spread the force of impact across a wide enough area that it wouldn't cause a dent centralized too much where damage to the frontal lobe would be life threatening.

You still have the fact that the bullet doesn't stop on a dime. That kinetic energy has to go SOMEWHERE. That means your brain housing group will be accelerating at a rate slightly slower than the rate of the bullet DEcelerating. Your gray matter will be rattled to a very high degree.

Let's say for the sake of argument again that the brain survives this. The thing that I see that will do the most damage is that your body, having much more mass than your brain housing group, will not want to accelerate as fast. This disagreement will cause a separation of the two somewhere around the Atlas or Axis vertebrae. the brain stem is packed pretty darn tight in there.

My conclusion is that, even if the bullet impact does not ultimately result in a heart that stopped beating, you will be a vegetable for the rest of your days...
