kevlar

I know you guys are wondering *** why are you talking about kevlar and heres my answers, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ROCK AND YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS ON FIREARMS !!!!!! Any ways now my question, how many layers of kevlar would it take to protect the user from pistol calibers (9x19, 45 acp ,5.7x28 , 357 mag, 44 mag you get the idea). You may be thinking why just buy a vest that is already bullet resistant? And know the answers, I had a great friend who was a survivalist and was a vet and so he had alot of military surplus stuff. Well he has passed now (god rest his soul) and left me his house and everything within it. I came to clean out the house and i found about 150 feet of olive drab kevlar. So i got the idea to make a vest for protection. And that comes to the question, how many layers of kevlar would it take to protect me from pistol ammunition and shot gun shells (buckshot/slug). And yes i know, in some cases its not the bullet that kills ya but the Kinetic energy behind the projectile.

as always thanks for the time in answering my question
