Crazy man tests bullet proof vest

There are some jobs that I would not be up for doing no matter how much money I got offered.

An element of danger may be alright for some, but testing a bullet proof vest does not sound like my idea of fun.

A video from the Mirror shows an Italian man having a gun fired at him from point-blank range as he seeks to show how hardwearing the jacket is.

Luckily he emerges from the ordeal unscathed, but he must be getting some serious hazard pay in order to make it worth his while.

At one stage someone shouts "enough" to see if the male wants to stop, but he waves away this suggestion and is happy to continue.

You have to admire his bravery, even if he is clearly bonkers to be willing to get shot at so many times.

Surely his chest must have been aching the next day due to the impact.
