Where to buy Bulletproof material...
Discussion
I am looking for some guidance on bulletproof material and am hoping someone on pistonheads might have some experience.
What would be the right soft material to place inside a leather bag/briefcase that could stop a single round from a small calibre firearm?
9mm, at a medium range, regular bullet, fired in the street.
So far I have been looking at Kevlar woven fabrics as a single 30x40cm insert, but am not sure what to look for.

Explanation required
I live in Brooklyn at the moment in a nice brownstone. Someone got shot and killed right outside in the street last year with what was most likely a 9mm. Happened at night and didn't hear a thing!Been shot at when I lived in Bueons Airies by drug dealers, but not in a serious way. More of a warning shot than anything else.
Not planning to go to any war zones and my job is not connected with security in any way.
I am designing a leather briefcase that has some tech built in. World-wide geolocation tracking, RFID blocking, smartphone mobile charging, rapid backup and a few more things. With this in mind adding really basic bullet-resistant material might be a good plan.

Can't help on material but good luck getting that bag up in front of you quicker than a 9mm leaves the barrel.
You are quite right, this would be very much just be extra protection. Better than nothing.coanda said:
1/2" steel plate is readily available and will stop 9mm.
Would work but too heavy.DDg said:
How about a hat with hidden helicopter blades that could unfold, fire up, and carry you away?
Unfortunatly I don't wear a hat...Olivero said:
