Yep, but something about the math doesn't see to fit. Assuming it does do 300 dmg, and you go against a guy with CQC best and full health gear, with all health perks, which gives 145 health total, the 60% Dmg reduction means dbs does 120 dmg at point blank, which should render the guy with 25 health left, which is like a little more than 1/6 health bar left. But for some reason in action it does a little bit more than half life bar damage, which is roughly 80-90 dmg range. A little bit out of the point blank range and you'll need three shots to kill a guy with CQC vest. And don't get me started on the the medkit spamming...

So yea, something is fishy about the CQC vest, I don't think its just 60% dmg reduction, maybe around the 70% range instead, which is like a life or death difference in battle.
