  • Many Level III plates will not stop M855 Green Tip rounds. The M855 is outside of the NIJ Level III Standards. Predator Armor's Level III plates exceed the standards and are able to stop the M855 Green Tip.

    The steel core in M855 was originally designed to add weight in the nose of the projectile and not as a LAP round. This allowed the designers to maintain specified overall length.
    The unintended effect of the steel core has it’s benefits though.
