You should continue to read the velocity results for the blind shooters out there. On a more serious note, your armour and ammunition tests are second to none and really very well performed and presented. Much respect to you and your worthy efforts.
What would you say might be the average number of 5.56, 55 grain, FMJ rounds it takes to penetrate a level IV ceramic plate? I'm under the impression it might be more statistically likely that the person wearing the armor would be shot somewhere other than the armor before the armor was penetrated. But of course, I don't have the budget to test this...
That's a very good question, and a possible test :D I'd say you're right as someone would likely hit you in an extremity during the course of fire. But it would be interesting. I have spare Level IV plates from LAPG, would you find that to be an acceptable test medium?
@@BuffRANGE It sure would! I've always been fascinated by "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a lollipop?" for common ammunition and body armor. The answer to that question would definitely affect the way people train! Thanks :)
Well I have that armor, it fared pretty well. Takes a couple months to get though so be patient. Wish I could get my hands on some of those tungsten rounds
I'm glad you read velocity, sometimes I watch these at work and am mostly just listening (nerdy, I know,) so it's nice to hear as much info as possible.
Why does the 308, with less velocity and energy, pass through? You'd think the 300wm would power through the plate, regardless of what the bullet's made of.
Possibly the Atlas Arms - Dagny Dagger, but I don't believe they've developed a .30 cal round yet. Otherwise, to my knowledge, no. With ceramic you need speed, and bullet construction. Since tungsten is what's needed a lot of the time, most rounds that employ that are off limits for us.
@@BuffRANGE I would love to see that. Perhaps even a .30-378 like someone else mentioned (though the rifles are impressively expensive). Out of curiosity, where do you typically get the rounds from?
To me it seems like tile array plates stand up better to multi hits. I wonder however if long term, a monolithic strike face would fair better because there's not glue to break down that keeps all the tiles in place? - I hope to test that with my long term body armor test, as RMA donated some 1155s.
Lehigh defense sounds cool. But have you seen dsgtec xmp rounds? They are tungsten carbide 300gr 30 cal projectiles able to fire from a 16 in barrel. It's made for 7.62x51. They also have a subsonic load for that bullet. Even though there is no way to get your hands on it (most likely), you should still check it out. DSGTEC
We have seen videos where this armor actually stops the 308 AP rounds. You can find them here. So reality is it stops all your ammo. Plus those plates have been reenforced. So while your video was accurate almost a year ago, it’s not today. 👍
I would expect 22-250 to be good at punching through relatively thin hardened steel, but ceramic that stops M2AP is going to be tough. Penetration is some compromise of mass, velocity, and hardness. 22 caliber greatly limits mass. Maybe if he used M995 tips, or possibly even M855A1, the hardness would compensate.
The major downside to 22-250 is the bullet twist rate. We really need a 1:7/1:9 to stabilize bullets. M995 would be interesting because it's 52 gr, but without lots of bullets to develop a load It would be hard to test.
So a while back I had seen a guy that bought the Hornady 223 poly tip he would pull the tip and replace it with a chopped bit of tungsten drill bit and had some wild claims about it
That's not a level IV plate. :D I've talked to that company before. They don't understand MIL-46100E ratings. At the thickness he's selling that will only stop an M2-AP round at an angle of 45° or greater. A direct hit of M2-AP will eat that steel up like butter. here's a 3/8" thick MIL-46100E failing to even M80A1: ruclips.net/video/6g2S8vHafo4/видео.html

Mishaco on RUclips is my favorite blind shooter and has good information about military style imports, especially AKs.
You should start a weight lifting/health channel man just showing proper techniques and some basic workout routines!! Love these videos man thank you!
I concur. A lot of people with bad form out there that can avoid hurting themselves. Especially deadlifting.
I didnt workout today but i shoveled my driveway it had 3 feet of snow on it. Cheers from 🇨🇦
That’s a workout! Count it.

I appreciate you reading the velocity since sometimes I’m not able to watch and listen to your videos
Glad I found a matt who knows how to make armor videos
:D Thanks!
Also, Matt, have you tested any of the UARM offerings? They've got three levels of ceramic plate, and they look to be very high quality.
I have not, but you're not the first to ask me to test it. Typically more expensive brands just shrug me, but I may have to contact them.
Well I have that armor, it fared pretty well. Takes a couple months to get though so be patient.

Actually not true. In stock everywhere.
Every one needs the macho buffman to learn about the important data
Could you torture some hescos?
I am working on a set of L210's first and then will try the 3810s..
Is the RTS armor actually NIJ *certified* though? I know that's expensive...but so's the hospital bill.
This plate No. this model is not CPL listed. Their steel is.
I'm glad you read velocity, sometimes I watch these at work and am mostly just listening (nerdy, I know,) so it's nice to hear as much info as possible.
I ran a chain cleaning up from ice storm damage so yeah I worked out and got firewood
Hey, I'm trying to find the video you had with 9 mm can you please send me a link cuz I can't find it
I've reviewed a few 9mm cans, do you remember a little more about the video?
Excellent test as always, it performed well. As far as working out... I had to watch this video first getting ready to knock it out now 😝
Thanks again!
Why does the 308, with less velocity and energy, pass through? You'd think the 300wm would power through the plate, regardless of what the bullet's made of.
With ceramic armor bullet construction matters. the 300WM has steel core, which its not as hard as the tungsten core used in the .308
@@BuffRANGE Have you tried the titanium bullets on this sort of armor?
Could you do one on the tactical scorpion lv 4 ceramic plate or the UARM ones?
Others have asked about TSG. I will contact them. UARM I will do some reading..
not today brother, it was rest day. typically i do a light workout every other morning but it's gym day tomorrow so i typically skip it today

Is there any .30 caliber round capable of defeating level IV armor that isn't heavily regulated?
Possibly the Atlas Arms - Dagny Dagger, but I don't believe they've developed a .30 cal round yet. Otherwise, to my knowledge, no. With ceramic you need speed, and bullet construction. Since tungsten is what's needed a lot of the time, most rounds that employ that are off limits for us.
7.62 x 39
@@johndaugherty4127 Not a chance, unless maybe if it's tungsten cored which is heavily regulated
LOL Oakley Jawbreakers for eye pro!
Very posh.
My original prizm road lenses flaked all to hell after 5 yrs, so I bought some replacement lens for them and threw them in the range bag :D
DAMN it stopped a 300win mag ! If you got hit with that , even with the plate ! It would probably still turn your insides parts to jello.
if the NIJ were to perform the test, and the backface was under 44mm, then you'd survive.. :D
You would survive. It’s not a 50 BMG or 20 mm. In that case your internals would be like Ebola. Mush. And with the 20 mm severed completely off.
