Reply to comment by Tratakaro in ELI5: Why is the recoil of a gun not nearly as bad as getting hit with a bullet while wearing a bullet proof vest if they are both the same force? by Tratakaro
You're missing the fact that the recoil is already distributed over a larger area when it impacts the vest (the butt of the weapon has a much larger impact area than the point of the bullet)
