More likely since the Bronze Age.

I don't know of any evidence of body armor before then, but what there was might have been made of leather and decayed long ago.

Re: "Cop killer" bullets, body armor, myths vs. truths.

The information has been in the public domain for decades.

I think it's better to review the facts than let the antis have the last word.

- "Armor piercing" ammunition is only legally available to law enforcement agencies and to the armed forces....
- When properly wearing the appropriate body armor, not one law enforcement officer has ever been killed by a handgun bullet penetrating their vest.
