Avarage guntuber: You know it is impossible to get the new 6,8mm military round, so today we will be shooting the comercial version thats for training. Meanwhile Oxide: Behold!
I'm relatively new to the ballistics world, but I aspire to be a projectile engineer later in life. If you ever get a hold of more armor, I'd love to see the proficiency of 9x19mm DM91 *if* you can get a hold of it. Your videos are humble but I see massive insight of real tests of ballistic properties of these cartridges, and I thank you for saving me massive amounts of searching to see what would survive in the long run.
@@Oxide_does_his_best Especially pistol rounds. Not like they're punching through GOST5/6 or NIJ3/4 at 200m. You most certainly have bigger problems stacking up or sneaking in.
I appreciate that you are keeping up despite RUclips kicking you down like that. I am looking forward to your new videos and your projects in the future.
The new 6.8 special purpose round is basically a tungsten m855a1-esq design. We don't have core weight yet, but it will likely have marginally better velocity, but worse sectional density.
@@Oxide_does_his_best I recall most of the pre selection testing data is all we have to go off of, and it's all NDA shit, but claimed NIJ level IV at 100 M+.
How you manage to get these plates and ammo is beyond me but I certainly appreciate your hard work and dedication to ballistics. EFT got me into this fascinating stuff and you are the only guy who does this stuff and does it fantastically, always looking forward to your videos!
Yo! Im new here, literally got your vid this morning. Good to see some honest testing from a fellow service member. Did you get these plates from UARM?
Dude, might be a dumb question, but since you're in the Army do they look at your content and the research you're doing? I feel that this research is pretty valuable for soldiers and they should commend you for doing this on your own time and money.
It’s likely the DOD has full assessments of the capabilities of nearly all the kit carried by Russians, Chinese, and any other possible peer adversary. But they ain’t gonna share it on RUclips like ya boi Oxide.
@@peterslaby9782 yeah its bot hard for the governments to aquire near peer equipment, the british straight up bought a handfull of T-80U tanks for evaluation in the 90's iirc
The hexagonal silicon-carbide stuff inside the ballistic plate happens to remind me of the infamous Dragonskin plate carrier that was once gonna be issued to the US military but failed due to the heat separating the ceramic disks, not performing how it was supposed to be.
Prince rupert drops would be a huge upgrade over ceramic tiles if they could be produced without a tail end. The combination of internal stresses exerting force outwards, the external stresses exterting forces inwards, and the spherical geometry of a prince rupert drop basically make them indestructible. I've seen a few videos where prince rupert drops are quenched in liquid nitrogen. It has the effect of making PRD's that don't shatter when the tail end is broken. These beads are so tough that they have no trouble shattering a 7.62mm projectile thats fired at them. If I could produce small quenched glass beads without a tail end and locked them into epoxy to make up the first layer of a ballistic vest do you think it could out perform ceramic tiles?
Buffman tested some gnarly smkh tungsten 8mm Mauser. 194 grains ranging from 2800-nearly 3000 FPS. I’m betting that will defeat the plate where m993 failed
The best ceramics for impact protection might go to UARM for me. For bullet resistance I will give it to the Colossus Ultra AP Plate. This might make it somewhere on the list for a good composite but I need to do more research.
The shape of those ceramic pieces look like that dragon skin armor that came out some years ago. Speaking of which, am I the only one who remembers that stuff? I haven't heard anything about or seen anything about it since it was featured on future weapons.
Ehhh it takes a few rounds to kill you usually. Most plates are designed for 3 to 4 shots sometimes more depending on plate design. But if in the same area, will likely pen inn2 to 3. If it's AP? definitely penning. Of course it also depends on what's behind the plates too.
@@Oxide_does_his_best Also small question, why did you cover the G with a Z on the sideplates? iirc the ASP-Zs were the Steel Sideplates of the Glad A and rare version of the Glad C
Armys adoption of the new 6.8 with its super high chamber pressure/velocity makes more sense basically they wanted something that can beat this armor and at range seeming 308 can’t, that’s at least my guess
Hello great video hope to see more from you! Is the carbon fiber formed around the plate all around? How thick is the carbon fiber sheet, the tiles and the backer?
Do you think that American Civillian armor doctrine or Russian armor doctrine is better? I like how lightweight we can go(IE: uhmwpe plates in a slick carrier type stuff.) But I also wonder when looking at both soviet and russian armor. Is the weight worth the protection you get from the pounds of kevlar behind the plates? Also thoughts on the iotv?
As far as I know, only the Navy is issuing all polyethylene plates, since they are buoyant. Every other Branch used conventional ceramic plates. In my opinion the almost total failure of polyethylene against any sort of hardened core (even 855) eliminates its possibility of mainstream use in the states.
@@Oxide_does_his_best Sounds like bs, especially since you're not advertising or selling the plate. Unless you're protecting friends who smuggled the plates out and reported them missing. Then much respect King!
Seems like this Hexagonal Arrangement of Material is ideal for multi-hit resistance, something that conventional plate armor seems to struggle with greatly.
When Ukraine is over, you should get some commercial stuff by ATLAS and test it. They make UHMWPE+carbide plates rated Br3+ through Br6 (yes really) and these are widely used by volunteers, PMCs and some high-speed operators who can afford to entertain personal preferences. They also make helmets rated Br2+ and known to deflect AK rounds at an angle.

The US made a similarly capable plate back in the early 2000s, as a response to the threat of russian tungsten core ammo in iraq, however they were a bit heavier than the standard issue ones, and the threat never materialized, so they were never fielded in a large scale, however tens of thousands were made. While they have a worse multi-hit performance than this tile array plate, they can also stop m993.
Tangentially related, but with level 3-4 plates becoming standard issue among western forces, and the Russian military possessing a variety of high level protection plates, how much of this body armor is making its way down to the boots-on-the-ground infantry? (instead of being sold off by Misha for extra vodka rubles)
Hard to give percentage but from ukraine it seems it greatly depends on the unit. Some mishas are more vodka hungry then others. there were reports of some guy ariving at tge front only to be handed very old plate carriers and plates that stunk of death but hard to say exactly how big of a problem it is
This kind of armor for regular army? Never. Only for high-tier special units (for what you consider "police" mostly, not even army). Source: am russian, served in a ГРУ spetsnaz unit
Oldest carrier i've seen on a Russian unit was 6b23 on some tiktok with logi drivers VDV/Marines seem to have 6b43s and Rosgvardia has anything from Korund vests to custom plate carriers like Pantsir SSO with granit plates I think standart issue plates are granits which are 5a (somewhere between IV and III)
I wonder how the PLA plates compare to these. These are special forces only whereas the PLA's plates are standard issue, I think they acquired 1.2 million units in 2020. Time to testify the NGSW program.
@@qwe304 The 1.4 million unit procurement was publicly announced, so I don't think it is fake. The reason they don't wear them regularly might be due to the fact that ceramic plates are very prone to damage, and they are quite expensive, especially with silicon carbide or boron carbide plates.
@@botwally2954 yes, and the Russians also planed to procure 2,300 t-14 armata tanks. They ended up with 20. And given the performance of imported Chinese armor so far, I'm not expecting much.
So your saying the adoption 6.8x51 fairly pointless and M855A1 works just the same after multiple shots. So, I'll keep my 5.56 with low recoil and hit the tap button until the Commie falls down.
Yeah...surely Ruzzia has money to produce these for special forces, they don't even have money to give basic helmets to all soldiers or hand everyone an ak-74.
Fun fact, if Special Forces soldiers of Russia can be proven to have been killed in action without using their armor, their families don't get life insurance payouts
The only difference between an M4 and an AR-15 is the name. Civilian AR-15s converted to full auto would be indistinguishable from the military variant, save the government markings.
@@Vexed_Vixen Yes, but if you look at the rail system + the lower it's the same one the army uses. Also it has a 3 fire mode selector on it suggesting that it can go auto. (Granted the footage is a little blurry so you can't get a good look, but I'm pretty sure it's genuine army equipment)
Since February 24th 2022, everything made in Russia is actually MADE IN UKRAINE!! Bet you didn't know that, but it's true. Ukraine owns Russia and Russia simply doesn't exist because everything there was automatically turned into Ukraine. Shocking news!!!!!

This kind of armor for regular army? Never. Only for high-tier special units (for what you consider "police" mostly, not even army). Source: am russian, served in a ГРУ spetsnaz unit
Gladiators and Goplits are never issued to infantry, teh granits are pretty common tho and aren't bad
I heard French 155mm CAESARs go for 120k USD in Ukraine
Oldest carrier i've seen on a Russian unit was 6b23 on some tiktok with logi drivers
VDV/Marines seem to have 6b43s and Rosgvardia has anything from Korund vests to custom plate carriers like Pantsir SSO with granit plates
I think standart issue plates are granits which are 5a (somewhere between IV and III)
ok but what about one more vdv drop
I honestly have still not seen evidence of a paradrop yet
@@Oxide_does_his_best did they have fortnite loot crates in them

Я открою величайшую тайну российской армии, в ней нет таких подразделений как "Спецназ"

Looks like the russians can make equipment that isnt disapointing when its in limited production for truly elite units
And then the truly elite units get dropped off in the Black Sea to denazify the fish and retake the Moskva lmfao
@@sata1938 any Video/photo evidence?
@@sata1938 Not before capturing some pindo mercenaries.
I wonder how the PLA plates compare to these. These are special forces only whereas the PLA's plates are standard issue, I think they acquired 1.2 million units in 2020. Time to testify the NGSW program.
Every parade video I've seen has them marching around in empty carriers
@@qwe304 The 1.4 million unit procurement was publicly announced, so I don't think it is fake. The reason they don't wear them regularly might be due to the fact that ceramic plates are very prone to damage, and they are quite expensive, especially with silicon carbide or boron carbide plates.
@@botwally2954 yes, and the Russians also planed to procure 2,300 t-14 armata tanks. They ended up with 20. And given the performance of imported Chinese armor so far, I'm not expecting much.
So your saying the adoption 6.8x51 fairly pointless and M855A1 works just the same after multiple shots. So, I'll keep my 5.56 with low recoil and hit the tap button until the Commie falls down.
6.8 has other benefits. I won’t know how good the ap is till I test it
"until the Commie falls down."... LARP.
Yeah...surely Ruzzia has money to produce these for special forces, they don't even have money to give basic helmets to all soldiers or hand everyone an ak-74.
Fun fact, if Special Forces soldiers of Russia can be proven to have been killed in action without using their armor, their families don't get life insurance payouts
@@Oxide_does_his_best the only insurance their families get is a bag of food and some vodka, that's how down bad ruzzia is.
@@Oxide_does_his_best proofs?
@@ryssa2409 proofa doodle dooooo!
@@Oxide_does_his_best so no proofs gotcha )))0)
Do you like russia or only their special forces?
cutting edge of year 2000...
I bet you there were no plates that could stop tungsten available for infantry anywhere in the world in 2000
@@Oxide_does_his_best you are not showing infantry body armor as far as i know
@@Hijackerrr what’s a special forces plate that could do it back then?
lmao hasn't helped them much though
is that a real M4 or just a AR-15 fitted to be one
The only difference between an M4 and an AR-15 is the name. Civilian AR-15s converted to full auto would be indistinguishable from the military variant, save the government markings.
@@Vexed_Vixen Yes, but if you look at the rail system + the lower it's the same one the army uses. Also it has a 3 fire mode selector on it suggesting that it can go auto. (Granted the footage is a little blurry so you can't get a good look, but I'm pretty sure it's genuine army equipment)
(FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO THE XSAPI !!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes
Buffman will do one too soon
This plates were produced in Ukraine. Now Russians experience huge problems with the plates and trying to use regular steel as an replacement.

@@emperorpalpatine1469 Gost of kiev lmao
Since February 24th 2022, everything made in Russia is actually MADE IN UKRAINE!! Bet you didn't know that, but it's true. Ukraine owns Russia and Russia simply doesn't exist because everything there was automatically turned into Ukraine. Shocking news!!!!!
