The ballistic material has several advantages over ballistic steel products. First, the ballistic material on VAST6 will not cause the bullets to ricochet but will absorb them, making the overall environment safer. The second advantage is the ballistic material is lighter for the same protection level of steel products. Third reason is this ballistic material has no electrical conductivity. The fourth reason is there is no radio or cellular electronic signal blockage due as stated by the ballistic material manufacturer, however, VAST6 may have some signal reduction due to its steel frame components.
