    How many tissues layers does it take to create a bullet-proof vest?
    For answer see below

    The answer: about 2500 tissues. Their team counted each layer of tissue that the bullet made a whole in, determining that the 2354th tissue was without any damage. Of course, the impact of the bullet knocked back the tissues pretty hard, so anyone wearing a 2500 tissue vest that gets shot by handgun probably won’t be pierced by the bullet, but they can expect some injuries.

    But then how thick will 2500 layers of tissues be???

    I bet the tissue vest wearer will be very prone to some nasty bruises...

    Pwahahahaa! -lol

    But I guess that tissue bullet proof vest won't get you far if your enemy is suddenly shooting with supersoakers at you! -lol (and then using the guns again...)

    There is at least one advantage when you see someone wearing this vest.
    You will never have to find tissue :D

    Doesn't this also depend on the brand. Maybe the thicker tissues will require less.
