Most body armor, even the lightest, are able to cope with a pistol bullet without any problems and prevent injury or death of the person who is dressed in it. Nevertheless, there are such samples of short-barreled weapons that can easily cope even with body armor with an increased protection class. There are not very many similar pistols on the market. Let's remember the brightest of them.
1. SR-1 "Gyurza"
The first step is to recall the domestic pistol SR-1, which was created immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1993 (it is originally still a Soviet project). Despite the fact that the pistol uses a fairly modest main caliber - 9x21 mm, it copes very well with most body armor. It is no wonder that thanks to this, "Gyurza" is very popular in law enforcement agencies and the army. With a weight of 6.7 grams, the SR-1 bullet accelerates to 435 m / s and transfers energy to 635 J. This is more than enough to pierce even a class IIIA body armor.

2. FN Five-seveN
The pistol of the Belgian production, which was born in 2000. Weapons are produced to this day and are in great demand, primarily among the soldiers of special units. The pistol designers took an unusual path. So, FN Five-seveN uses a relatively modest cartridge 5.7x28 mm as the main ammunition. Due to the small mass of the bullet, it is possible to achieve huge indicators of the initial velocity - 715 m / s, which in turn has a positive effect on the penetrating characteristics of the weapon. On tests, FN Five-seveN "stitches" up to 48 layers of Kevlar.

3. Desert Eagle
The famous pistol of American-Israeli production, which was born in 1983. Suffice it to say that the Desert Eagle uses 12.7mm - .50 Action Express ammunition. In fact, it is a machine gun caliber that overcomes most of the fighter's personal protective equipment without any problems. In addition, the pistol fires the equally impressive .41 Magnum (10.4 mm), .44 Magnum (11.1 mm), .440 Cor-bon (11.1 mm) cartridges. The high power of the pistol should be attributed to its high accuracy. All this makes him a real thunderstorm for body armor.
