A: Yes.
While it is completely possible to use the BB™ Ballistic Briefcase as an offensive tool, it was designed as a defensive measure, making it more effective in defense.
A: Probably.
While there is no standardized testing to check how much more ballistic protection more NIJ Level III plates offer, more is definitely better than one. Although unknown if it would stop anti-material rifles every time, each plate will retain its multi-hit capability separately.
A: No.
Using fewer plates will only reduce the area of protection when the briefcase is deployed.
A: Yes.
It is fairly easy to replace the armor plate yourself. But, you should contact the customer support service on our website to quickly order a new armor plate of the exact size.
A: If you exchange the plates.
You may continue operations with a damaged armor plate due to composite materials that, when damaged, only a tight zone of the armor fails. Undamaged zones still offer ballistic protection. However, you will need to replace the armor plate after the mission as further use is prohibited.
A: This product has been independently tested in NIJ-accredited laboratories according to the NIJ Standard 0101.06, as well as certified laboratories according to the DSTU 8782:2018. against Soviet/Russian ammunition.
You need some time to adjust to the weight, but the mechanism works good and the protection area is more than enough
I have minor gripes with the lack of color choices and a slightly older design, but I realize those are not why I bought this bag. The weight is more than a regular briefcase, but it is manageable, and there is enough space inside. Learning how it works is easy and I have the general idea how to protect myself if needed.
Also, the customer support was very helpful, and explained a lot about how the item works and what are my options
