The Bofors 3A-HEAT-T uses 1 Kg of Octol, so it will have a DPW of 2678.

The M344A1 should be 1.27 Kg of Comp B, not 1.0 Kg as I stated. So it's DPW will be 2962.

If you don't already have one........ get an account for scribd.com.

Many military manuals end up there, I have the ammunition data sheets for reference. Some posted the 2011 World Wide Recognition guide from the DoD there too.

I worked this chart up awhile ago, and I like your chart as well. What do you think the AC is NIJ III+?

I'm working on an update for this chart as well. Transparent Armor (or Bullet Resistant Glass), is a little harder to find specs on it, but I'm making headway on this front.

I have the the Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor NIJ Standard - 0101.06 and I couldn't find a listing for Level III+. Technically there isn't even a Level V, but because of the protection provided of the highest level of Dragon Skin Body Armor the term Level V is applied and the specifications are classified by both DOJ, DOS and DOD. I just kind of guesttimated and could be as much as 4 to 6 points higher.

PS> Level III+ may refer to Level III with Stab Protection, So its Level III Ballistic Plus whatever rating of stab protection, normally Level I.

I've looked around for it as well. I see it referenced by a few manufactures, but don't see it in the NIJ standards either. I think it is NIJ III + AK47 resistant, but not completely sure.

I thought Dragon Skin was no longer made? And NIJ had withheld there certification of it as well.
