So I've played a soldier from day 1 and this ability has been bugging me the whole time. I couldn't figure it out at first but this week little things have started popping up. First off, this ability is supposed to be a hard counter to Kevlar. I noticed, however, that it says only the soldier gets APA (armor piercing ammo if your wondering). This doesn't seem very balanced since everyone could have kevlar. While balance and whatnot can be argued, the ablities actually working cant. I found this forum where The_Smurf has claimed to have tested kevlar and APA and have found that neither is actually doing anything. Here is the link http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php?p=316860 discuss ~Ketsu~(>-_-)>~
- According to Den, both ARE working. I tend to trust him more than random posts, since he uses health debug stats instead of just counting bullets with one gun. XShadowcat 20:12, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Exedore confirmed that the AP ammo works automatically. http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=332101&postcount=37
Same thread, he also stated that the in game description for Extra Kevlar was wrong, and that it actually stacks with the soldier ability. http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=321947&postcount=3
They have chosen to keep the skill as intended, rather than alter the game to match the text. http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=322856&postcount=14
