Due to the vast numbers of bullets and calibres existing today, and more and more being developed constantly, the number of conceivable threats is quite endless.

Although offering absolute protection against every developed & conceivable threat is a landmark that MKU aspires to achieve, its various personal protection products currently adhere, follow and conform to a variety of well defined International Threat Levels. Since the threats vary significantly with geographic locations, these threat levels show country wise modifications.

We are constantly aware of all major new ammunitions being developed and also to all minor/major modifications or upgrades to these International Threat Levels which are followed by a wide number of countries.
