ISTR that wearing a vest makes it MORE likely that you are actually
shot, but the consequences are less. For one, you are not as likely
to run for cover on the slightest hint of being hit.

It is about as pleasant as having your torso hit by a baseball bat
in the hands of some professional hitter. There ARE deaths from the
use of vests, too.

Yes, you are likely to be in a pretty incoherent state for the first
minutes after the hit. If conscious at all.
