My guess is that even though the Level 4 body armor stopped the 338 Lapua round, if you were the guy wearing the vest, you would be going to the hospital from the resulted of blunt trauma impact . Depending on where the round hit it would be like getting hit in the chest with a sledge hammer. Who knows what kind of damage that round would do from the blunt trauma.

I don't think so. It doesnt have the follow through or energy of a sledge hammer.
I like the fact that you guys started with the big round first. It always bugged me with KZreadrs that they would start with small work their way up. I may be wrong, but I feel like it reduces the structural integrity

That round blue right through. On the replay you can see the sand drain out of the bag.. Lapua a p round definitely ate Right through it As well as the 308 armor piercing round.. Proofs in the pudding I would have Dumped the sandbag . 100% both of the jackets and the steel penetrators are in it. .
Loved the vid guys.
Благодарю вас за использования 7.62×54 r и 7.62×51 по чаще используйте эти калибры в своих тестах постарайтесь что патроны были одинаковые оба бронебойные или оба со стальным сердечником или оба валовые. СПасибо за все удачи !❤👍👌👏💪.

According to slowmo, "notSVD" shoots irons, not bullets (you should check it by shooting at paper). It definetly reduces penetration.
Wow i will get some RTS plates as soon as i can. Theres a few guys at the club that said no lightweight body plate can stophis 30-06 ap rounds. Time to make some money on them. perfect timing my company shut down . thanks

Well that does it, I was gonna build you a New "Pick-a-nick" Table, but all Justin wants to do is tear it up! 😁
I'm not surprised it went through lv 3 but not the lv 4.
i like the 6.5 creedmoor, i'd probably say it is my favorite cartridge but if the lapua don't go through then i don't rate it's chances.
The 308 moves almost as fast as my mothers back and across my face when I said a dirty word.
That 54r appears to have tumbled
Try the .416 Rigby, I bet it goes through.
You should try 8mm Mauser SMKH (NOT to confuse with 8mm Mauser SMK) as I havent seen any plate stop this ww2 round but its very hard to get your hands on them

To be honest we are really bad at sighting out firearms in. He's just a good shot.
The colour of the plate liner is likely due to a proprietary fill. Generally the fill is carbon black (natural gas soot) and is why most rubber is black. Hydraulic hose, for instance, is around 30% acrylic plastic, 30% nitrile rubber, 30% carbon black and the remainder is processing agents and polymerization catalyst, etc.
That rts plate might have stopped the 338, but holy cow, you get to die from internal injuries due to blunt force trauma from plate deformation instead
Your really building a fantastic collection of firearms ,but your missing a Carcano Model 1891/38 short rifle,the most devastating,accurate,fastest firing gun in the world ,at least according to the warren commission!there is no way the plate could survive the all powerful carcano.also nice to see the Russian guys are back.
How many rounds of 9mm or 223/5.56 to get thru the lvl 3 vs lvl 4???
12:47: If you use a magazine in a boat, you refer to it as a "Cliporis"
Ya think that first one would have hurt a little chris'o ? Lol looks like it would feel like getting hit by an express freight train with no brakes , ouch 😬
Can you guys test the .50 BMG from super short barrel like Noreen, and see if it still has enough punch at 200 yards or more?

So…. to help everybody understand why that body armor wouldn’t do you many favors… If you are turned sideways in the middle of the road. And a car slams into you at 50 mph. Did it penetrate your vehicle? Probably not. But consider what’s going to happen to the parts of your body that are on the other side of the distortion that occurs when that car rams into you. If the force doesn’t kill you and that’s a big if you are definitively out of the fight.
