Both vests went through vigorous tests to make sure that these jackets would protect our soldiers in the line of fire. First the jackets were X-rayed and analyzed and then had to undergo a series of live fire tests which included room temperature tests, harsh environment tests, and durability and drop tests.  Out of the eight Pinnacle vests that were tested, four of them failed the ballistic tests. Thirteen rounds penetrated through the vests within the first or second shot obviously failing the tests. The tests were continued to ensure that both vests were properly tested. Both vests were also subjected to various temperatures, from minus 25º F to 120º F.  These tests caused the adhesive holding on the Dragon Skin’s protective discs to fail causing them to gather at the bottom of the vest, leaving unprotected gaps in the jackets.
   
NBC was claiming that there was a conspiracy against the Dragon Skin body armor from Pinnacle Armor and that the Dragon Skin was more superior then the Interceptor. They believed that the government was more interested in funding than the safety of our soldiers. They have also claimed that the United States Army manipulated tests on the Dragon Skin body armor jackets to cover up the vest’s true capabilities and to ensure success with the Interceptor product line.
The government responded very quickly to the false investigative report stating that our soldiers were not being properly protected in battle and that the military is more interested in money than they are in the safety of our soldiers. Because of the serious nature of these claims made by NBC and Pinnacle Armor Inc, a congressional hearing was scheduled to verify the facts and bring light to the truth of this matter. At the hearing, Pinnacle Armor Inc was unable to offer any evidence to back up the allegations made by NBC and Pinnacle Armor Inc.
The United States of America will continue to defend the Interceptor Body Armor jacket made by David H. Brooks and put the lives of our brave soldiers before the thought of profit. Our soldiers and the families of our soldiers need to be confident in the United States. Our soldiers are equipped with the best protection in the world.
