ballistic backpack insert

BallisticBoard™ can be used to convert almost any surface into ballistic protection - ballistic backpack inserts, classroom doors & walls, desktops, countertops

BallisticBoard was developed to save lives. Whether that means protecting a young child from a school intruder or a convenient store owner from a burglar, the focus is all about saving lives.”
— Jason Henkel, Director of Operations at ShotStop Ballistics
STOW, OHIO, USA, November 28, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the first three quarters of 2017, the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit organization that tracks shootings, reported more than 48,000 gun-related incidents in the U.S., including more than 12,000 deaths and 24,000 injuries. These striking statistics are magnified when news of mass shootings like the recent Las Vegas rampage and Texas church incidents take place.

Ohio-based ShotStop® Ballistics is fed up with these numbers - and the lives behind the numbers - and is dedicated to doing something about them. ShotStop, a manufacturer of body armor plates for military, law enforcement, and special forces, has developed a thin, lightweight, ballistic resistant insert for backpacks, laptop bags, tablet cases, luggage and other personal bags.

The BallisticBoard™ civilian ballistic insert is a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IIIA compliant insert developed and manufactured in the USA to withstand multiple shot impacts from handgun fire. ShotStop’s BallisticBoard civilian ballistic insert weighs just over one pound and turns an everyday bag into instant ballistic protection.

Other Uses for BallisticBoard™
In addition to the ballistic insert, ShotStop’s BallisticBoard material can also be used to convert almost any surface into rigid or "soft" ballistic protection. It’s patented Duritium™ Technology applies to retail environments, classroom/office doors and walls, desktops and countertops, as well as automotive/vehicle protection.

“BallisticBoard was developed to save lives,” explains Jason Henkel, Director of Operations at ShotStop Ballistics. “Whether that means protecting a young child from a school intruder or a convenient store owner from a burglar, the focus is all about saving lives.”

The national gun-related incident numbers are definitely overwhelming, and reality says these numbers will not be improving in the near future. “In a world where someone can shoot at hundreds of concert-goers from a hotel window or walk into a mall and start shooting at random, it's time to take action in protecting ourselves and our loved ones,” says Henkel.
