The personal protective equipment withstood a bullet aimed at the chest of the GNR soldier. Unionista says that hygiene and operability cost the guards a lot.
The GNR soldier who was shot twice in a Seixal supermarket on Tuesday was saved by the ballistic vest that he bought himself in an arms store. For hygiene reasons, the 32-year-old soldier chose not to wear one of the vests that he had at the Coruche post. And on Tuesday afternoon he was saved by personal equipment, which contained a bullet fired into his chest. The second entered the abdomen, between the vest and the belt he was wearing.
César Nogueira, president of the Professional Guardian Association, tells JN that the purchase of ballistic vests is a common practice among the military. “As long as the government continues to distribute the vests in the stations, instead of giving them to the military, they will continue to buy the equipment, for reasons of hygiene and operability.” Each vest can reach 800 euros and is, as a rule, lighter than those of the mail.
