Yeah he just like put his hand onto the place where he got shot. The bulletproof vest most likely made the bullet non lethal, but still painful.

Re: Soldier Sniped [Iraq]
LOL bulletproof vests aren't bulletproof to rifles of any type. Even a .22cal will penetrate a vest due to its low velocity.

Re: Soldier Sniped [Iraq]
Hmmm, where do you get your information from? It depends on the rating of the body armor. Also, a .22 round is hypersonic unless it's a subsonic round (better for a suppressed weapon), so it's still pretty fast.

Re: Soldier Sniped [Iraq]
Kevlar will protect pretty well unless an APR is used. More than likely not, the guy was ok from an FMJ round. Painfull yes...but not lethal. My 2 cents.
