Stopping Shots Cold: ShotStop Body Armor

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Much like firearms and ammunition (especially ammunition), concealable armor, ballistic plates, and other protective gear such as that made by Ohio-based ShotStop is becoming increasingly difficult to locate. Purchases of soft armor, ballistic plates of all sorts, and helmets have spiked significantly over the last 90 days. To add insult to injury, the recent “once in a generation” winter storm that gave Texas, Oklahoma, and other places such a beating has also slowed delivery times to a crawl.

Part of this is a reaction to urban unrest and election results. More is in response to such ridiculous legislation as the proposed New York Citizen Armor Ban.

ShotStop Ballistics, however, is advising they are not low on stock, and that furthermore, they’re running a February special on their lightweight body armor plates and BallisticBoard backpack armor inserts.

ShotStop plates, which are noticeably lighter than many other ballistic inserts, are made of a material they call Duritium. ShotStop says,

“Our patented Duritium® technology and processes allow our advanced body armor to be thinner, lighter, and more durable than anything else on the market. Utilizing Duritium technology often results in up to 45 percent reduction in thickness and up to 200 percent reduction in weight, compared to other body armor plates (steel, ceramic, or poly) on the market at the same protection level.”

They make plates in several shapes and protective levels, i.e. shooters cut and others, including a multi-hit “Green Tip Plate” that has reportedly taken 8 rounds without penetration.

According to social media, they offer a 15-year warranty.

ShotStop’s Jason Henkel once explained Duritium in this way:

“Basically, what Duritium is, it’s a next-generation polyethylene that has an unusually high tensile strength. This tensile strength lends itself very well to ballistics and body armor projectile, basically kinetic energy disbursement. With that, we have decided to enter the market of body armor, vehicle armor, and building material uparmorment [sic], for safe rooms, for schools, for banks, for public areas.

A lot of uses for the Duritium technology, but today we’d kind of like to talk a little bit about our body armor line. The reason for this, at the end of the day, is that we want to save the lives of those who are serving to protect ours in the public; who are protecting our children, who are protecting our freedoms, our liberties. The entrance of Duritium technology is going to certainly enable that in the world.”
