    I’m guessing the original wearers didn’t survive with that many holes in the armour.

      I mean if they wanted it to be effective, the Germans shouldn’t have designed it with holes in the first place.

      The one on the left looks fine. I see what looks like “splats” from bullets and not actual holes. The middle has a couple holes but they look grazing? The one on the right definitely got shot through.

      E: makes me wonder if these were tested rather than the result of an attack?

      Left: handgun rounds, Middle: some sort of average rifle or soft bullet? Right: something high powered or specialized bullet like APC.
