Ballistic Threat Levels

Despite there being a multitude of standards, only several standards are used extensively. Two examples of widely-accepted standards include the U.S. National Institute of Justice stab and ballistic documents.

Since NIJ started its testing, more than 3,000 officers’ lives have been saved.

Countries will use these standards and incorporate the basics and modify them to fit the bullets of the area for the test.
