So impressed had to purchase one also using 704 tactical and receive the discount as well thank you that was an awesome review usually do not believe what I see and hear on KZread but I've been following you a while now and I agree with most of your assessments and you're looking out for folks like myself. My next mission is to find a night vision optic that works well and does not break my bank

Another SOLID REVIEW!! Hands down Impressive!! Not even a dimple..

Very nice, it didn't even deform the plate that much. That is impressive.

Nice testing as good results....Good stuff.....

Great test, Great plate!

Everyone is impressed by the plate... im impressed by the damn spall liner. Ive been looking for q good one since i have a very thin frag mitigation coating. Im gonna get 2 of these for each plate. Do they make them for side plates?

Wow, very impressive results.

Great review! That plate withstands more than even a level iv ceramic. I’m glad I got a pair.

Who makes that metal "horizontal hand positioner" on the rail? Thanks

I was surprised that the 55 grain 5.56 did not penetrate. I shot my AR500 plate with 55 grain 5.56 through an 18 inch barrel with a suppressor at about 75 yards, and it went through like a hot knife through butter. Of course that round with that set up is approaching 3500 FPS.

55 grain usually only travels at 2950 to 3100 with a 20 inch barrel. 3500 is insanely fast, that's not normal. That had to have been a handload. It's also well known that you need level 3+ or level 4 to defeat very fast 5.56. Most level 3 only stop up to 3000 fps and are usually better against 30 cal rounds.

it would be neat to take a 22-250 in place of 5.56 and 30-06 in place of 308 and handload fmj's in 100fps increments just to see how close its cutting it to passthrough.

for the 5.56 how long was your barrel?

Great Work!!! The Steel is Armox Around the 600 Brinnel Level Very Good Material :-)))

Any new and improved premier body armor plates ? Maybe NIJ 4?

Test this at maybe 15-20 yards away. Some CQB action.

What kind of jacket are you wearing? I like it

AR500. Com's spall sleeve does a better job of catching fragmentation from the side. This is a strong plate tho. Impressive

Where is the website guys? Cant fint it cant order without it,,!

Wasnt that an ak 74 (ive owned one) it had the flash and climb ruducer., and the but style looked as if it were a 74. Didnt see the ammo so well. But it might have been a strangely shaped 47. Just noticed that, had to say something.

good video and good review ! thanks !

Why ove the blue barrel before the multi shots.....

This is the type of testing I want to see on a plate. Multiple rounds randomly shot at and not intentionally placed shots.

Those 'intentionally placed shots' are called 'scientific method'. While this may seem impressive on the surface, there's a reason armor testing is done the way it is. This stuff looks good, but are you really willing to bet your life, on a KZread video? I would like to see him test multiple plates, with more controlled conditions. I don't expect him to build a ballistics lab, but he can do better than just shooting at a plate hanging in front of a barrel.

Nice vedio. Nice guns to. Thanks

@704Tactical, I know this is an old video but would you still recommend this company for their plates or is there another option you prefer? I am in the same area where they’re are manufactured.

Where did you buy it. How much was it

How much is the Spall Insert?

I don't know about wearing level 3 armor. The rating requirements suck and I'm sure there is quality variance between manufacturers but I shot a steel level 3 plate using an AR-15 with a 16" barrel from 30' and I did not like the results. The plate stopped .223 55gr HP and 5.56 62gr green tip without even denting the back, but cheap Winchester 5.56 55gr FMJ target ammo blew right through, every shot. AE 5.56 64gr tracer penetrated deep enough to dimple the back of the plate with one dent exhibiting a small crack so it damn near went through. Cartridges like Winchester 5.56 55gr FMJ range ammo are some of the most common likely to be shot out of an AR and they make butter out of level 3 steel plates.

Yes. Id like to see more than one of these tested, with a little more controlled conditions, before Ill trust my life to it.

I would have like to seen how many shots it takes to destroy that body armor. Just in case somebody has a full auto or a bump stock on one of their rifles. I know that a lot of times if Body Armor gets hit in roughly the same place it will penetrate. It seems like you shot kind of all over the place and not so much in one specific area. Also how many rounds would it take for a 308 to destroy that plate? Or just a 30 caliber projectile in general

please tell us exactly which one you have. this body armor is the best I've seen.

He did m193; m193 is about the most threatening 556 you'll encounter. He needs to test it with controlled shot placement and a 20" barrel. Also needs to test more than one plate and properly mount it to something, before I'll trust it against anything but pistol. Just not worth the risk.

@@humansvd3269 I have a 5.56, 300 blackout, 308, and a 458 Socom. I have yet to shoot anything with the 5.56 that is penetrated better than if shooting the 308. Because of velocities, it does sometimes do better penetration wise than the blackout or the Socom, depending on the loads used. I reload so I could rig some rounds to make the 5.56 "win", but that is pointless.

Nice.😆

frag literally ripped it apart 😂 but everyone is like wow that plate takes so many hits! 🤡 1st hit is more than likely knocking you on your ass and taking the wind out of you, worst case you got broken ribs and bits of frag in your arms/chin 😂😂

Chinese body armor does work.

This "spall liner" product is completely pointless. Bullet fragments primarily skate along the face of a steel armor plate, splattering perpendicular to the path of the bullet and parallel to the plane of the plate itself in all directions, cutting through the edges of the plate pocket in your plate carrier to hit your outstretched arms, your neck, chin, face, thighs, groin/genitals, depending on your bodily posture when the offending bullet strikes the armor plate. Spall liners need to wrap around the edges of a steel armor plate in order to be effective, with those edges being the most reinforced or heavily layered part of the liner's kevlar/aramid composition. A "spall liner" that is just a pad sitting on top of the strike face of a steel armor plate will do absolutely nothing useful.

Shouldn’t be touching the plate, lead poisoning is a thing lol

Not a bright idea . To have your car near your target

So I'll say the other armor company ar500.com I defeated mine right off the bat with Wolf Ammo

So who are we supposed to believe? The chopping block says and shows m193 pass through this plate. I purchased this plate based on this video. Then I seen the chopping blocks video. Hope I didn't make a mistake.

imechanica.org/files/spall-I_0.pdf PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, EVERYONE if you have a layer of soft armor. Please place it BEHIND the plate. You will be FAR FAR MORE THANKFUL to catch anything going through the plate and reducing blunt force trauma. The plate you tested is ment to catch and reduce any FRAGMENTATION anyway. Also, we should touch on something else. FRAGMENTATION is what your trying to reduce. SPALLING is something completely different. Spalling is something very very specific. Spalling is specific to the material ON THE PLATE that comes off and becomes a projectile AFTER an impact. SPALL IS ABSOLUTELY NOT "bullet fragments that fly in every direction after an impact" Ask ANYONE who has served as a tank gunner/commander etc. When an incoming round impacts the tank its the SPALLING from the metal on the tank that is the issue. Please stop using Incorrect terms and while that kevlar pad may be sold to do what you used it for, it ABSOLUTELY works better if used behind the plate.
