I was trying to think if Mythbusters ever did this and I cant remember, and I haven't seen anything on Youtube. Anyways, just curious if anyone has put any thought into improvised body armor that can be produced quick and is effective against a 556 at say 50 feet. The fist thing that comes to my mind is phone books with plate steel as illustrated in the book: 100 deadly skills. Even though I believe that is quite effective, it seems extremely bulky and not "wearable" for extended times- obviously safety before comfort but what if we could have both.
Anyone ever put much thought into body armor from household supplies? Or could you produce a non bulky, wearable, quality body armor? If you had say.....20 minutes to produce body armor to protect you against you, what would you build and from what common household materials.
