  • Coated steel plates in a slick carrier makes for one of the cheapest ways into body armor. While not ideal, it definitely serves a number of people who otherwise would have no protection. Here we do a little limited testing of them against the problems we find with most steel plates, m193 and spall.

    It sure as hell beats a 7.62 going into your lungs. I have a coated spartan armor plate I keep behind my head rest on my crown Vic. If I get a rifle threat call, I’ll insert it into my vest, and at all other times, my head is protected from the rear from level 3 rated threats

      I've actually never heard of that but it's totally genius! Easy access for when you need it, and can't get domed in a rearward ambush. Hats off to you sir!

      That's either a very small plate, or a huge head rest.

    Good vid. Build up coatings provide better spall protection, and are recommended. It'd be nice to see how many rounds it takes to render a buildup coating ineffective, and then it'd be good to compare that to how many rounds it would take to defeat ceramic plates. I'd wager that the numbers are pretty close.

    • @chrisjones6002
      @chrisjones6002 4 года назад +2

      The way I look at it is if I take enough shots in my rifle plate to make the coating fail I've really messed up and a little spalling is the least of my problems. I'm thinking the same goes for ceramic plates, lol. I would be interested to see a test done though.

      @@chrisjones6002 And the difference is, if you survive that incident, then you just need a relatively inexpensive batch of materials to get the steel plate back to operational status. The ceramic plate on the other hand, on top of being much more expensive from the start, now needs to be completely replaced, which might not even be possible. On top of that rough handling could crack ceramics and compromise tgeir protection. Not so with steel.

    I think a little too much is made of the spalling. Yes, it's bad and I wouldn't want to get hit with it. However, if I have to choose between and uncoated steel plate causing spalling and a rifle round in my chest it's a pretty easy decision. Ideally of course I'd rather not get shot at, lol.

      Wrap steel plate with ballistic grade kevlar at least 4 times i prefer 195 or 200 kevlar, cover kevlar and plate with 2 well made spall protectors... no reason to worry about spall anymore unless you stand in front of a mini gun.

      Unless you only want to work for one because of some strange love of a department that will sooner or later let you down take whom ever offers you a job to get in the door. Then after you are trained and have a few years on you can be more picky. If anything, apply to the ones you really want first and get in the process then if nothing comes of it and your secondary or 15th choices come in take it and don't look back.
