CALI, COLOMBIA
Most companies introduce new products with presentations and laboratory demonstrations. Gang Wayz Bags took a different approach.
To demonstrate confidence in the company’s patented bulletproof fashion bag, CEO Raphael Ranger stood behind his invention during two live ballistic demonstrations filmed in Cali, Colombia.
The first test was conducted in a controlled environment to confirm the performance of the bulletproof bag under live-fire conditions.
“Even though I knew the product would perform as designed, it’s human nature to feel stressed when you’re standing behind it,” Ranger said. “That first test gave us the confidence to move forward.”
The second demonstration raised the difficulty significantly. The team carefully coordinated a realistic attack scenario after many viewers questioned whether the ballistic sling bag would actually be useful in a real-life emergency. Rather than simply shooting at a stationary target, the objective was to evaluate how the deployable ballistic shield behaved during a more dynamic situation.
One of the biggest questions from viewers was whether the shield would be pushed backward by bullet impacts. According to Gang Wayz , the demonstration showed that the ballistic panel remained remarkably stable after being struck, with very little movement as the impact energy was distributed throughout the panel.
The team also evaluated what happens if a projectile strikes the area where the user’s hand is positioned while holding the shield. Because only the knuckles are in contact with the handles, Ranger reported experiencing no injuries during the demonstration.
The patented bulletproof crossbody instantly deploys into a substantially larger ballistic shield within 0.5 seconds. Designed as a premium armored fashion bag, it combines everyday style with rapid ballistic protection while remaining practical for everyday carry.
“We wanted to answer the questions people were asking instead of asking them to simply trust us,” Ranger said. “People wanted to know whether the shield would move after being hit, how it would behave during a realistic attack, and what would happen if a round struck near the hand. We decided to demonstrate it.”
Gang Wayz says the demonstrations represent 2 years of research and development focused on creating a product that can be carried every day while providing deployable ballistic protection when needed.
The company emphasizes that no protective product can eliminate the dangers associated with firearms and that every live-fire demonstration involves significant planning, strict safety measures, and inherent risk.
The videos have generated widespread discussion online, with viewers debating the results and praising the CEO’s willingness to personally stand behind his invention. For Gang Wayz Bags, the demonstrations were intended to show how the product is designed to perform under ballistic impacts and to answer questions raised by the public through real-world testing.
