So the larger rounds the vest are tested on are meant to be the upper limit of what it can withstand (ie the hardest it can just crack a bunch of ribs)? Meaning a JHP or JSP .44 mag round would create more force and blow slightly through, fleshwoundy-style, right?

What about if the II is shot with a .44, would it stop the momentum a lot or cause awful expansion? I'd bet it'd be a little worse than just a fleshwound, but nothing unsurvivable. The IIA would be useless, but would it getting hit with .357 cause as much destruction?
