whoever told you this is talking crap.magnetism only affects ferrous metals (Iron or steel). as bullets are not made out of lumps of cast iron then magnetic armour could not affect them.Even if you did have steel bullets the field required would be massive. to stop say a 7.62x39 made of Iron travelling at a muzzle velocity of 710m/s then the field required would be in excess of 25,000 gauss to even affect it.An electromagnet in a scrapyard is about 20,000(and thats under an electrical power boost) so to stop a bullet your vest would require static magnets of about 75tons in them.Probably lighter ,smaller and more effective to strap an armoured car to your chest,a sherman tank to your back an a humvee to each armpit. See! they were b******tting about magnetic armour!
