A big thanks to ESSTAC! esstac.com/

Awesome. I just picked up some 4601 a week ago. Trusting my life on it. Not too heavy as well.

Looking forward to the L210 retest

An impressive showing from hesco to say the least. The M210s stopped exactly what they were designed to stop plus some. Also, thanks for another awesome video Matt👍🏻

Another great video! Thanks

Thanks for this. I was looking for a lighter weight plate to throw in front of my 3a balcs panels for 308 protection and also to stop green tip. Looks like this is the winning combo for me then.

Good lamination is pretty much standard practice among current generation of ceramic plates. That is unless it’s the Chinese plates.

Do these plates have any foam protecting the front ceramic strike face?

I'll allow it :D

Hesco seems to be the standard in strike face durability.

"you'll live, but you won't be happy about it" getting hit with m80 in armor.

For such a thin plate, youve got to take your hat off!!

Was thinking about picking up some l110 side plates and some cummerbund 3a armor, do you think this is a good combo? Or is there another cheaper alternative? Looking for plates that are 2lb or less and not super thick but dont want to spend a bunch of money.

The hesco 4400 level 4 should be done.

I've done them in the past when they were branded under the "CATI" name.

Which would you recommend, these M210's, or the shotstop level IV+HA

@BuffRANGE

Жыл бұрын

If you need to stop AP threats, a Level IV indeed. I Do not recommend that IV-HA plate, simply because I haven't tested it, and it's only so light because of the foam ring. The M210's weakness would be .308

Based on your testing and experience, if you wanted to stop mainly green tip or 308 what would you recommend?

@@tomcollins2679 nope. LTC is slightly better when it comes to build quality and safety margins. LTC build their plates slightly thicker, which is also why you don't see the same NIJ fails like Hesco does.

It would appear they can stop 308 from shorter barrels. They should have it officially tested.

Try some 00 Buckshot. These plates seem good at stopping any given round only once (unlike AR500 steel), and if your armed using a Saiga 12 Gauge then you should be able to throw 100's of balls in the same region of the plate, within seconds.

These plates are demonstrating the ability to stop multiple rounds in the same area, well past their rated round count. Buckshot is a weak threat for modern armor as it'll be caught by the soft backer every time. I think your imagining combat differently to how combat actually occurs. The ability to stop a couple of rounds without throwing shrapnel into the wearers head is far more relevant than durability to endless shots.
