The modern generation of body armor first began as hot, bulky wraparound Kevlar vests that protected against pistol rounds. But thanks to advances in materials sciences (and a healthy dose of government investment from two decades of continuous war) these ubiquitous police armor options have largely been supplemented or outright replaced by the leaner, more comfortable plate carrier.

He can hear emergency instructions, understand them immediately, load his own vehicle and evacuate without arguing, panicking or becoming confused. If the power goes out, he grabs a flashlight. If the building needs to be evacuated, he walks down the stairs.That person probably exists somewhere. He just does not represent most American…

America’s quest for greater firepower isn’t a new phenomenon. In fact, the desire for increased firepower can be traced to the earliest days of the United States and the repeating flintlock designs of Joseph G. Chambers. An illustration of the USS Constitution during the War of 1812. There are indications that the Constitution carried Chambers swivel guns in her mast tops, but it is unlikely they were used in action. Image: NARA Multi-shot weapons were not unheard of in the late 18th century, but these leveraged several barrels that were discharged simultaneously — like the Nock volley gun or a “Duck’s…
