Would you like to shoot your mother in law for fun and get away with it?
Well, no problem. Just buy a Miguel Caballero bullet-proof garment for her next birthday :-)
Miguel Caballero is a Colombian tailor who has made a fortune by crafting high-tech, ultra-thin bullet-proof garments. Some US presidents have been his customers, although he's not allowed to disclose details.
You can buy a life-saving T-shirt on Amazon, knowing that it is
"level II certified by NIJ 0101.06, with ballistic resistance to the following ammunition PIST CAL 9 MM FMJ RN up to REV .357 Magnum JSP".
Pretty amazing, huh? And well worth 1,540$ if you want to feel safer at home when you discuss with your wife...
This is no joke - we are talking about patented, multi-certified technology, based on a clever mix of materials such as polyethylene, fiberglass, stainless steel wire and polyester...
Have a look at the patent if you don't believe me :-)
Here's a video with a live demo. In fact, in order to get a job in Caballero's company you first need to agree to get shot. Just to prove that you share their corporate values...
What is really striking in this video is how thin the garments is, how close the shot, AND how unaffected by the shot the person appears.
I have seen other live demos of bulletproof jackets, where people were visibly shocked and/or in pain after getting shot. Here it looks like they're having fun...
