    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The village idiot in me can understand that a bullet may not penetrate the fabric so penetration to what's behind the fabric. However, the same village idiot still wonders what happens to the kinetic energy the bullet has remaining after hitting an elastic like fabric.


    Village idiot thinks, 'This means no leaking hole in body. Only blunt force trauma and internal injury.'

    Is he wrong, and why?

    Guess your correct Paul if some one shot you from close range with a 45 ACP or 44 Mag its gunna bust ribs and cause a bit of internal damage one would guess, I also found this one as a guard against shanks for prison officers its pretty neat.

    Paul,
    As they said if two honeycomb layered sheets of graphene are subjected to immediate and high pressure the trauma is discipated!!!
    As with all things body armour, it is the trauma that does the damage and the shock waves therafter. Interesting, but not one for me to stand in front of on tests!!! As they are using diamonds, one suspects, this will be beyond the price range of most Armies
