Attention: Mr. Joe Curran Gentlemen:
In accordance with your instructions, H.P. White Laboratory, Inc. conducted ballistic resistance testing of two proprietary armor samples received 12 February 2008 via Federal Express.
Testing was conducted in accordance with your instructions, and the abbreviated provisions of NIJ-STD-0101.04, BALLISTIC RESISTANCE OF PERSONAL BODY ARMOR, dated September 2000, Level IIIA, using caliber 9mm Luger, 124 grain, FMJ ammunition and caliber .44 Magnum, 240 grain, SJHP ammunition. The test samples were positioned on an indoor range 16.4 feet from the muzzle of a test barrel to produce zero and thirty degree obliquity impacts. Photoelectric lumiline screens were positioned at 6.5 and 11.5 feet which, in conjunction with elapsed time counters (chronographs), were used to compute projectile velocities 9.0 feet forward of the muzzle. Table I presents a summary of the enclosed data records.
