Might be better to wear Teflon coated silk shirts in various shades and hues . Hoping for a through and through effect .The Teflon might aid the passage of the round through the body before the projectile could give up or transfer the energy to the surrounding flesh or bone . Just mitigating the effect of the round , so all you have to deal with is a very large transfer hole rather than the explosive carnage created by the energy transfer hydrostatic shock that can inflict devastating wounds . The type of wounding that was mentioned briefly in the Geneva Conventions limiting the types of ammunition’s that can be used against humans.
