Bourque Industries Makes Body Armor History with Exceptional NIJ Testing Results

Business Wire
The body armor industry will never be the same. Backing up the
claims about their revolutionary personal-protection Kryron
Terminator Armor in remarkable fashion, Bourque Industries, Inc.
(OTC:BORK) today released the results of the Company's recent
National Institute of Justice (NIJ) testing at Oregon Ballistics
Laboratory where they shattered current industry standards on their
way to their overwhelming success in Level III stand-alone armor
evaluation.
Bourque's Level III stand-alone Kryron Terminator Armor System
became the first armor in the history of NIJ testing to defeat all
six 7.62x51 FMJ NATO rounds within the 44mm back face deformation
standards. And Bourque didn't reach this unheard of milestone only
once, but repeated the performance on all four Level III armor
plates tested, establishing a level of protection unmatched
worldwide.
Even more amazingly, one of the panels was actually tested
backwards and still stopped all six bullets within the standard
back face deformation. This means that Bourque Industries has the
only true multi-impact personal body armor on the market, as well
as the only armor that can be shot both directions with no impact
on ballistic protection.
“With these testing results officially on the record, the
discussion about multi-impact body armor is now over,” said John M.
Bourque, the inventor of Kryron Terminator Armor and the CEO of
Bourque Industries. “It is simply unacceptable to allow our men and
women in uniform who protect our children and families to wear
armor that is actually designed to fail after only two bullets when
Kryron Terminator Armor is readily available and is guaranteed not
to quit when our police officers need it most.”
Kryron Terminator Armor also provides additional advantages that
are essential for the survivability of law enforcement personnel.
Terminator armor eliminates ricochet and spall – shrapnel from the
bullet and armor, respectively – and the related casualties because
Kryron armor works by catching bullets instead of shattering and
deflecting them. Ricochet and spall account for nearly half of all
injuries resulting from a bullet impacting traditional ceramic hard
armor plating.
The Kryron Terminator Armor Level III stand-alone system is
currently completing the standard inspection portion of the NIJ
testing protocol. After the standard review period of 30-90 days,
the armor will be certified and be able to be purchased by law
enforcement agencies using federal grant monies. The Level III
stand-alone system is available for purchase immediately for all
other military and law enforcement customers.
