Painful as hell, but not lethal. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully, I no longer engage in the kind of activity that puts me in front of a shooter with a bulletproof vest on. <BR/><BR/>I don't even want to catch a BB without a vest, if i can avoid it. And the small caliber gun that you HAVE is FAR better than the large caliber gun at HOME.
