ShotStop: The Val Iliev Story (watch)

The Great Escape and the Origins of ShotStop
Learn the story of ShotStop’s Founder and President, Vall Iliev, and his escape from communist Bulgaria, his journey to the United States and the origins of ShotStop LLC. A truly remarkable story.

Max Velocity Tactical is proud to be a dealer for ShotStop®, body armor plates with ground breaking Duritium® technology. 

Plate Fitting / Size: Plates are normally sized width wise nipple to nipple (see diagram below). The standard plate for most people is the 10 x 12. The 8 x 10 is significantly smaller in terms of surface area. The SAPI cut is standard military cut (as shown in diagram below) with the top corners cut down. SHOOTER cut is a more severe angle on the corners, designed for greater freedom of movement.  SAPI cut does not impede arm / shoulder movement in any cases we are aware of.
