Web of Fibers
Bullet-proof vests are made from strong fibers in a web-like formation. Each layer of fibers slows down a bullet, causing the bullet to implode into itself. Energy from the bullet is absorbed in each layer of fibers. Thanks to the vest absorbing the energy from the bullet, the body will receive less injury.
Dispersion of Energy
The energy from the bullet is dispersed in each layer of webbing, allowing for a wider dispersion of energy to avoid severe internal bruising. This dispersion cannot combat bruising completely, but can greatly avoid blunt-force trauma in an area the size of a bullet. The wider the area of impact, the less severe that impact is, and the more surface-level the bodily injury is.
Prevention of Penetration
With the layers of webbing absorbing the energy and with the dispersion of the energy, the bullet-proof vest is able to prevent penetration of the bullet. By avoiding penetration, the body will only receive bruising and be free of lacerations both outside and inside the body.
