Is There A Difference Between Body Armor And Stab-resistant Clothing?

Since body armor can prevent bullets, wouldn’t it be easier to resist stabbing? The essential difference between the two is the difference in function, one is bulletproof and the other is knife-proof. The former is mainly used for the protection of gun bullets, while the latter is mainly used for the protection of knives and sharp instruments. Due to different protection objects, the materials used are also different!
Material: Body armor consists of a jacket and a bulletproof layer. Clothing covers are usually made of chemical fiber fabrics. The bulletproof layer is made of metal (special steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy), ceramic (corundum, boron carbide, silicon carbide), glass fiber reinforced plastic, nylon, Kevlar and other materials. Stab-resistant clothing is made of stab-resistant material blended with ultra-high-strength ultra-high-density polyethylene chopped strand yarn and aramid chopped strand yarn.
Function: The special weaving structure of stab-proof clothing and the excellent performance of ultra-high-strength fiber make it anti-cut, anti-knife, anti-knife and other functions. Body armor is a type of clothing that can absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy of warheads and fragments, prevent shrapnel from penetrating the body armor, and effectively protect the protected parts of the human body.
Price: Due to different production materials, the price difference between body armor and stab-resistant clothing is quite large.
In real life, you can choose to use body armor or stab-proof clothing according to the actual situation.
