Insane. It's INSANE! Never in my life did I think I would ever see body armor that could stop a 50 bmg, let alone a 50 bmg AP from 25 yards. Adept, this plate is all kinds of awesome. Hats off to you.
Wow, this is crazy 😮
Indeed!
Still impressive that it was able to stop one 50 bmg AP from 25 yards
All Adept needs is official NIJ certification.
official NIJ certification is meaningless going to be honest with you. We have NIJ cert plates that are garbage, and non NIJ Cert plates that aren't garbage, Not to mention that NIJ cert is heavily outdated which is proven by Adept. It's merely a cop rating not even the US military uses it and for a reason.
@@VolkZ-wl4ci I thought that Adept uses the European VPAM certification anyway
@@VolkZ-wl4ciNIJ is definitely outdated, which is why they will be updated soon (RF123 vs III/IV). Still they are the only ones (in the USA) doing extended and scientifically consistent armor testing (which is how some of the “trash”) armor is caught and recalled. For companies who don’t get NIJ cert all you can go off are reputation and one off tests by enthusiasts like Buffman.
The military doesn't not use NIJ because it sucks. It's because the military faces vastly different threats than cops.
@@VolkZ-wl4ci
The problem is that while some might bw outliers, most fall in the range. Independent review and QA means that you're much less likely to be working on the word of some chump who wants to make a quick buck with cut rate armor.
My question has been answered. The plate will stop the round...but your ribs will not stop the plate😂
What a surprise! AP rounds of this caliber were used in WW I as anti-tank rifles. I can't believe that it can now be stopped by infantry armor! The progress of science is unbelievable! And thanks to ADEPT and you for creating this armor/video!
I don't know the details because this armor was not sold on the official ADEPT page, but the ceramic material is probably SiC-TiB2 or B4C-TiB2. This will be the mainstream material for RF3 class in the future.
By the way, if an industrial manufacturing process for w-BN were established, what the heck kind of bullet would it stop? .50Cal SLAP or 20mm?
The limits of science are still ahead of us: ......
Armor technology amazes me so much! Specially in today's context of 4 entire centuries of gunpowder dominance! Even more so when it comes to *infantry* armor of all things (tanks are... not doing well as of lately)!!
To be fair it's been a long time since .50 has been able to punch through tanks.
Not SLAP by any means, and tbf it stops it, and you will probably still die@@ZIEKedit
To be fair this was doable in the 70s. The problem was that that armor was a helicopter plate (not the 'chicken plate') and rather unergonomic. This shaves pounds and some thickness, and it might actually be something a sniper or someone expecting high impact fire would wear during maneuvers.
Frickin' badass! You know that's gonna hurt when it knocks the clay briefcase over.
Hurt...? understatement.
You'll probably be incapacitated and you'll probably have a bunch of broken ribs
@@1810jeffif not dead from liquified organs lol
@@apricotcharms4126 it would take much more force than that to liquify organs. Human rib cages make a very good job of absorbing the energy. You would probably end up with broken ribs, but alive.
@@BrunoViniciusCampestrini nah not a ap 50cal especially with that amount of of back face deformation
Yo that's not even much heavier than a budget Level IV plate, and there are steel Level III plates that are heavier. Crazy. I guess that's what happens when you take the expensive materials and use a lot of them. Pretty amazing.
Botach lvl 4 ceramic/poly are 5.5 lbs each
@@MB-jg4tr Yeah but they have 1" foam borders so they're more like 8x10" plates. If they were edge-to-edge they'd probably weigh 8 pounds.
@@BertoltH that's not true, they do not have 1" foam borders. I own a pair, and back when you could get them for $100 each I bought three. I tested one and it stopped nine 7.62x39mm before getting a pass through. Opened it up afterwards and it's pretty much edge to edge coverage with only a small edge foam like most high dollar plates. I've heard this was the case with the LA Police Gear plates though, but haven't seen those to confirm.
Ministry of defence : I'll take your entire stock.
Need this commercially available just keep telling them you want it
Wow. That surprises me. They can now say they have the capability of producing plates that stop .50.
That is amazing that thing can take a 50 with no pass-through mechanical and chemical engineering really is amazing
Would you look at that! The only other plate of this protection level that was mass produced was the SARVIP, made for Spooky gunners during the Vietnam War. It supposedly had multi hit performance against 12.7mm B-32 API, but was so heavy it was "useless" for anything besides vehicle crew protection.
I've been trying to find sources of information on the SARVIP armor out of curiosity such as what it is made of and how much it weighted for days now and without a success. Where did you find yours?
@@mekingtiger9095
Ah blast it's been a while. I had a chart sometime but that might be lost to time now.
I believe it was 9-13 lbs depending on size?
I'd have to page back in the old archive.
There are some potentially analogous plates, but the others are vaporware and/or not in serial production any longer.
@@sunrisejackdaw1779 I think I found a picture of a document supposedly describing SARVIP armor. It indeed goes from 9.2lbs to 13.9lbs. But I'm not sure of its reliability as a source because I got it from the Plate Land wiki, which is a wiki of a mod for ARMA 3 that seeks to make body armor as realistic as possible. Very nice effort from their part, but I'm not so sure if it is still that good of a place to search for it.
Absolutely mind blowing!
I wouldve liked to see non-ap .50 rounds. Adept should produce these plates by requests. You never know who might want them
I recall the US military experimenting with aircrew plates able to stop 12.7x108mm.
@@JoMiMi_h mmm idk about that. Could be true, hopefully you'll agree at a certain kinetic threshold, stopping it would do no good because of bfd.
The SARVIP armor was a system/family of both plates and carriers issued to air crews. As far as i know there have been multiple plate variations that were made but only one was actually issued. The plate that was issued was able to stop Russian 12.7 B32 ammunition. The other plate variants were able to stop 14.5mm ammunition and 15.2mm ammunition. While the SARVIP system as a whole was far too heavy to be practical for anything other than use by vehicle crews, i believe the latter un-issued plates remained un-issued because they were far too heavy to be practical for even air crews.
@@stahlhelmturtle9822 Knew my knowledge from 3 years ago came in handy.
It’s stop ap version , so I’ll stop the BALL or regular type ammo
Amazing!
Incredible!!!
thanks jake and thanks matt. adpet should do special order for those plates.
Use a section of 3/4" flat plywood with a hole in it or even a 2x4 for your clay measurements, just subtract the thickness of the board...
Good idea!
That's very impressive
That’s gonna leave a mark!
German 8mm should be tested too!!!!! Plus multi hit ^-^ would be cool to see regular colossus vs heavy colossus comparing M995/m993 and 5.56/7.62 ERP hitting same spot 2, 3, 4,.. times still penetration ^-^
Well if i was going to make entry into a structure then the this is the plate i'd like to have.
Super plates. Probably for the military? I enjoy your series always! Keep up the good work. I would be interested with the same plate test in 5.56 and .30 caliber rifle at twenty five yards. Thank SG Ammo my favorite ammo supplier.
Essentially this plate is an upscale model of their regular Colossus, which contains many threats :D ruclips.net/video/EIHE2RjfD7E/видео.html
@@BuffRANGEis there a link to these red plates? I can only find the purple ones on their website
@@wcsdiariesthese red heavy plates are still only in the prototype stage, as stated by buffman early in the video

Well I’m sold on adept. 🤘🏻🇺🇸 obviously not gonna buy these it’s pretty pointless to wear but still their technology and craftsmanship overall is legit.
Why so?especially if you machine Gunner or javelline ..you would be a first target to drop for snipers or apc tank machine gun..would be good to have a chance to survive..with real combat distance 600+yards will be also way less energy to observe than point black shootimg
Cool video and finaly you have a good target for the rauffos round to test this body armor i think it would penetrate but ther is only one way to know!
It wouldn't penetrate, Raufoss Mk 211 has the same penetration as M2 AP
@@christophegroulx7816 it have a tungsten core penetrater and it is a faster! But like i say there is only one way to know
@@ermincosic The penetration is very similar because part of the MK 211's projectile is high-explosive incendiary.
I wonder if the ceramic thickness is required, they probably did a lot of testing making these. I wonder if if it had multiple tiles if it could have stopped two. The shock from the first shot allowed it to go through, apparently ceramic is the only thing that can stop the round.
In the back of my head I am thinking, if you used a cheap RMA 1155 with extra polythene plate, possibly it would stop a M2AP. Having separated tiles is very important I guess.
Another idea is what if you used a regular plate with a light weight metal backer that would take the impact punch, maybe a thin titanium or foam metal.
Nice
Thanks
@@BuffRANGEthis one was very interesting
@@azisandwich indeed ! I like cool stuff like this.
Wow
Simply wow
I'd buy some of those plates. Don't care how heavy or thick they are, I'd mount them inside the podium I built my wife for work (teacher).
Most American phrase ever uttered.
She's be safer just carrying.
That’s not but like a pound and some change heavier than some older ceramic level 4 plates…
Run a long piece of 3/8 aluminum across the whole frame with a hole in it then subtract 3/8"
Damned impressive performance, especially with the backface/deformation control, though I wonder if it's enough. I have to say, it also almost looks almost like two plates squished together! Given the amount of destruction on this plate from a single .50 BMG hit, I am very very dubious of the claims of 12.7x108 API rated russian body armor that's anything approaching portable, especially given the russian standard for minimal backface, unless they're measuring it very differently. Either way, seems like more russian military tech that never materializes.
50 cal rated armor has existed since vietnam generally weighs 14 pounds . Russia has the plates their generally given to combat engineers or helo pilots . The russians do have stuff that works but its issued to select groups while the rest scrounge old surplus
There was apparently a sinilar offering by some people from Atlas Armor or something. It is existent, but if it actually will see fielding with anyone? Who knows.
that was seriously impressive, wouldn't mind the weight knowing what its capable of 👌have you tested the Caliber Armor BI 3600 (Poly)? They shot it on The VSO Gun Channel 2 years ago with Fiocchi 223a but couldn't penetrate it. Would be interesting to see its limit as the new one is kinda pricey
I would imagine it would take a lot of lead core rounds, but will be weak to a M855, and M855A1. That would be a re-branded Hesco plate. We've tested the 3402 in the past, and I believe the 600 series is the upsell model of the 400 series.
@@BuffRANGE Thank you for letting me know! Just finished watching that video and I see what you mean, love the detailed explanations 👌
Absolutely hilarious and comical. Great work.
Ouch.
Ouch...
Matt, THIS is why I love your channel... Your channel is FAR AND AWAY the most consistent content on Leftytube .... God Bless brother
EDIT: I would keep this over your old X-sapi plate, that, ya know, fell off the truck.. =)
I appreciate it very much. To the masses what we do over here probably has become a bore over time, but those that like data (even though it can be very niche) I believe enjoy the content :D
That’s awesome that there’s armor capable of this. That being said, I hate to imagine what it feels like to survive getting shot in the chest by a .50 💀🤣
I wonder if a heat treated aluminum plate in the back of armor would help out with backface, might be something somebody should try
Probably end up with an issue of it making armor too thick
Heated treated aluminium (2000, 6000 and 7000 series) is rather brittle and would absorb less energy than 5083 aluminium. Constraining UHMWPE too much would decrease the energy being absorbed by it, in turn possibly leading to penetration. Polycarbonate sheet is sometimes used in “soft armor” inserts to reduce the backface. I think it could be worth a try in this case to use 1/8” (3 mm) polycarbonate sheet followed by foam to reduce the back face.
That's why u better wear sick soft armor ,even under SA plates.. could really make a difference between bruise or broken ribs and eternal bleeding or between stopping AP
Is it custom made? didn't see it available for sale..russian snipers using ap rounds 338 and 50 so we need the here
what if we took a SMKH in a 8mm rem mag. would that have a greater change of penetrateing compared to standard? (duo to the speed increase) (it's just theoretical)
Coud you test same thing but with human thorso? Pls
Was the clay calibrated? You said it was cold so maybe less deformation ? What temp does NIJ require ?
Clay was about 75-80F. Has to be about 100F. So backface could be more.
Ah. Also the 2800 fps could be from the m2 browning mg which has like 40 inch barrel I think
Ah would love if you had dug out the round stopped and have a look at it =)
There's so many spent rounds in that dirt it would be hart to tell which one it was :O
No no i mean the round stuck in the PE of the SAPI plate :D @@BuffRANGE
@@doprisi you’re right. I should have checked it. Generally with AP threats the ceramic eats up the core and there’s not much left to find.
least they will send you home in one piece

You would survive
wow
Buffman, how was it bonded together? Just some adhesive? From the side it looks slightly mismatched.
The backer and strike face ?
@@BuffRANGEYes.
@@sunrisejackdaw1779 Some type of adhesive which is typically an industry standard.
Do you think this would've gone through if at been at a full 2800 fps?
Hard to say. I wish I would have grabbed the surplus ammo for the test.
I was expecting an M33 ball test. M2AP is a lot more impressive. Got any mk263 or mk211?
There's an M33 ball test next week from a more standard Level IV. Yes I have MK263 and Mk211 :D
@@BuffRANGE M33 against IV will be interesting. Good to hear you have 263 and 211 for the other prototype plate, assuming you're willing to fire them. I've only ever fired one mk211. M8 API is ~80% as fun for ~5% the cost.
@@timewave02012 Mk 211 should be the same as M2 AP
@@christophegroulx7816 The penetrator in mk211 is tungsten carbide. M2AP is hardened steel. I don't know if it makes a difference, but it certainly could, considering in .308 and 8mm, IV plates that stop hardened steel AP are often defeated by tungsten.
@@timewave02012 The penetration is very similar because part of the MK 211's projectile is high-explosive incendiary.
No plate carrier could contain these plates lol
It's pretty darn thick :D
if youre getting hit center mass with a 50 BMG you have bigger problems.
How well do you think the plates would fare against .50 BMG with a tungsten core?
against MK263 or MK211, Those would wreck this plate likely. Tungsten is hard to deal with.
Would 2 or a few of these plates stop the tungsten .50 {12.7mm]
@@BaitYouLook_cashapp hard to say. We'd have to test it. Not sure if Adept would be down for it.
Do you think a tungsten core 50 bmg would penetrate it? or maybe a m903?
Very likely. Mk211 and MK263 pop 2 3/8” stacked steel where as the M2ap with API will only get through one. Maybe we can get another plate to test MK211
@@BuffRANGEthat would be cool! thanks for your answer👍

Collosus armor from Mass Effect 1?
👍
Thank you !
plate stop the bullet but the question is: would the patient survive? could you put ballistic person behind the plate to check the damage?
Plates often have or are accompained by supplementary trauma pads that help absorb and spread the blunt damage across the surface area. Not sure how effective this one would be at helping the user actually survive, but to be honest? For something hit by a .50 Cal, this plate did a very good job at reducing the backface deformation in the clay that was behind it! I expected more defo.
Yes, more than likely. Back face deformation clay has been noted as very outdated and unreliable. However, the military and, public studies, have not found any real cases of back face trauma injuries through rifle grade body armor after the early 1990s, even in some vests that were hit with as high of 55mm bfd.
Awesome. Any plan to test Adepts Titanium Mantis armor? Their video has it looking very stout, and after seeing what they did here I'd love to see what their 2.6 lb plate can handle.
Impressive. Incase you want to live long enough to know what it feels like to have liquified lungs:)

@@christophegroulx7816 it was supposed to be funny
Do you think the SMKH 8mm would penetrate?

@@BuffRANGE okay thanks.
How about a good tungsten 338 lapua round?
And i was Wondering the new 338 Norma machine Gun shooting full auto in prone (useing bipod) would that be accurate enough to hit the plate 2 times. And therefor penetrateing?
@@frederikgram8970I've stopped the 338 Tungsten round with the SAS level IV dragonskin, this would most definitely stop it at least that one. You would need 2 hits very very close proximity (2" or less) to penetrate.
Alright thanks.
Could the machinegunner hit 2 shots close enough to each other to penetrate with bipods deployed?
And what would the solutions be if the US army meet This on the battlefield maybe m993 in 338 case with 7.62 upper?
Will this plate be available for purchase anytime soon?
Probably not, it's more like tech demo, a prototype.

I’m not sure. If they’re European born what laws in Europe would prevent them from sale?
@BuffRANGE I've actually been told by a manufacturer and few shops in Europe that NIJ level 4 plates aren't available in certain countries in Europe, as only military and law enforcement are allowed to purchase them.
Last year I bought level 4 PGD plates and had them shipped to Poland, myself and a family member both had to complete paperwork (me because I was the one purchasing them and family member because it was her address).
Then another export form to get them to Ukraine.
The Adept Colossus plates I bought this year it was just the one form for the family members address.
The Adept plates didn't require an export permit to Ukraine since they weren't NIJ certified
hi @@troyganator338 thanks for sharing the story... quick question: what kind of paperwork you need to fill when you buy level 4 PGD plates to Poland?
@@troyganator338 when paper work was needed? when you transfer the plates to Poland or from Poland to Ukraine?
@rafalo2323 hi rafalo, it was mostly just import/export paperwork and declaration that you aren't a criminal, PGD handled most of the import export paperwork from Denmark to Poland.
I found it very interesting that it's legal to own body armour in Poland but you can't buy it in Poland, it can only be imported.
For getting it to Ukraine we are supposed to contact the Ukraine Embassy in Poland and get permission to export it, since NIJ4 plates are an ITAR controlled item.
It's only 5:44, and I'm betting the plate is destroyed!

@@igorvengerovsky2897 I guess I didn't think they were that well equipped. From what I recall 7N37 has a much larger core than M993 so the ceramic needed to destroy that is going to need to be upper tier stuff.
Definitely impressive, not to burst anyone’s bubble, but if you made a plate out of the right grade of titanium. And was 1” thick…it could stop 30mm AP from like 130 yds or so, maybe even closer…I’d hate to see what that cost though, haha, so it would be slimmer and about the same weight, and probably cost twice as much at least as that plate.
i doubt it.
There is no way I just watched personal body armor stop 50bmg….
But you did :)
Given how there has been another body armor test of RUclips showcasing this feat aswell some years ago, it's not really a surprise anymore however impressive it still is on its own right.

I really want a heavier level IV that integrates steel or titanium to reduce backface deformation. Stopping a round is pointless if your lungs and liver get popped...
Steel is horrible for blunt trauma mitigation and titanium is even worse. In modern armored sports like buhurt, titanium helmets are banned due to how bad they are at preventing blunt trauma.
@@stahlhelmturtle9822 I agree that titanium has a downside, but I haven't seen any study with 3/8" TI plate. Thick enough steel always excels in preventing backface. The problem is the weight of steel. Level III plate steel will take dozens of hits at the rated level. Level IV steel would do the same, but it would be ~3/4" thick, not something anyone could wear all day.
@@stuartlunsford7556 the steel plate itself might not deform, but there's a reason that steel armor companies recommend users wear trauma pads behind the plates, since steel will transfer most of the blunt force into the wearer when hit.
@@stahlhelmturtle9822 Your last statement is false. The NIJ does infact certify steel armor. There's a few who have NIJ certified steel armor. Steel ops, and even Spartan Armor Systems

@@BuffRANGE you thinking a 50 cal Tungsten AP round?
I’d rather see a hesco 4800 competitor that doesn’t cost $1500 a plate.
I just completed the 4800 testing. I will say it's going to be tough to offer something 5lb~ with edge to edge and M2AP capability. If anyone could do it, it might be Adept though.
Due to the inherent cost of the materials, that's going to be the pricing you have to work with.
@@BuffRANGE adapt has the tech now. Make a standard level 4 not a level 4 plus plate. Needs to be 1” thick or less to fit modern plate carriers. Make it 9.5” wide because most modern plate carriers have a hard time fitting a 10” wide multicurve plate. Most likely will be around 5lbs if they do that.

Well,it stopped it,but you are dead :D That energy transfer was wicked.

@@christophegroulx7816 How you would not die? The plate absorbs the energy that is attached to your body,where would that energy go? Despite not getting penetrated you would have a lot broken ribs and internal bleeding for sure.
@@majkiboy86 Maybe broken ribs, but thicker plates have been given to soldiers to resist .50 AP without causing injuries. It just seems like this specific one is too light/thin to save the user from injuries.
Suplementary trauma plates for padding exist for exactly this reason. They disperse the impact over a larger surface area and deform underneath the hard plate in the place of your bones. Think of it like putting one or two pillows in front of your chest to mitigate the effects of an incoming punch. Or gambeson/cloth cushioning used by knights to do the same against maces and warhammers. The basic concept is the same.
I feel like your be dead anyway lol
No you would survive
Lol. Who would need these . As he keeps one of them without shooting it
An armour plate 1.5 inches thick stopping a 50 calibre AP is absolutely ludicrous. Armour stopping 50 cal FMJ would have been unheard of 10 years ago, such a shame it has such terrible multi-hit performance though.
Sarvip was a military produced panel from ceradyne that stopped 12.7x108 in 1998
Impressive, but you could still die from the internal hemorrhaging from that amount of concussive force.
Very probable. Would need an actual NIJ lab confirmation.
Pretty sure you'd still be dead but cool none the less.
You would definitely survive
Made in China.
I highly doubt it. China is not known for being able to produce monolithic strike faces or PE this well pressed. What makes you think that.
Awesome video 👍 Safe life defence FRAS with a LVL 4 plate supposedly able to stop a 50 API would be interesting if you would be able to do a test with that setup
why did you shoot the bottom, the top was further away from first impact. it even looked better to shoot the top… i hope you shoot the top next to test it instead of right next to it on the bottom
The plate was designed for one single hit. I wanted to keep at least 2" away from the shot, which makes it hard when I place it COM.
i disagree w/ you 100%, if they can prove they have plates that’ll stop a 50BMG blacktip like they just did w/ demolition ranch. they would sell tons of plates, people would want this, because smaller rounds wouldn’t stop easily. you act like 9lbs is heavy vest, it’s not. i can carry a 9-10lbs vests all day everyday.
hasn’t even been released on demolition ranch for 24 hours yet, and i bet it has millions of views. they would literally take the marker by storm, look what we can produce while other companies have crappy level 4’s…
just having a plate that can do this & no other company has one… people would purchase the lower level plates because they would trust this company more. this is good business to completely smash the competition in this market. a complete take-over
@@ShutUpYoFace I told them the same thing. This stopped something that no public plate has done, which shows superior materials. I told them they should sell them. They did state that likely the strike face is the the manufacturing hold back.
