    AR500 released a video of them shooting a III+ plate backed with IIIA soft armor with .30-06 AP. The round penetrated the plate but was stopped in the IIIA backer. Using soft armor behind your plates is definitely something to consider when building an armor system.

  • @stinkyfungus
    @stinkyfungus 9 лет назад +65

    what level 3 WONT do is protect you from the most common rifle threat of all...
    real deal lake city, federal, or winchester 5.56 M193 55 grain ball. its too fast at 3200 or so @ fps, and drills right through easily inside of 50 yards
    these new 3+ plates WILL stop M193 at the muzzle
    its worth the extra 10 bucks per plate to stop what is likely THE most common stockpiled milsurp ammo in the united states.
    this is the reason I upgraded to 3 plus plates. had it been something exotic or rare... I wouldn't have bothered.
    but hell, ive got thousands of rounds of Federal M193 myself. lol.

      +The Wound Channel without watching your videos I have no idea what you used for a rifle when testing that but I bet it would be safe to say it had a 16" barrel since that is most common. knowing that at those ranges the velocity of 193 out of a 14.5 in barrel is in the 2800-2900 fps range so I wonder if the 14.5 would change the results. i'm curious what the fps threshold is on 193 defeating lvl3

    • @BuffRANGE
      @BuffRANGE 9 лет назад +4

      +Colin Matlock pretty much any full power M193 that's actually chronographing over 3100 pfs. Independence makes some M193 that will reach 3200 fps from a 16" barrel. +The Wound Channel was using a 22" barrel, and getting around 3200 fps. Level III+ stopped the same round.

      Anything hunting caliber over 3006 is going to penetrate. 7mm rem mag, 300 win mag, 300 um, 375 hh, etc. No body armor can stop hunting rifles and still be wearable. The plates would be exceedingly heavy.

      Wilbo Baggins Titanium alloy for armor is usually a little less stronger than normal armor steel but far lighter. So at the same thickness as the shown AR500 steel it would not stop it.

      +Wilbo Baggins
      you can stop any bullet, with anything if you have enough of it. yes, including pizza... a 5 foot thick stack of pizzas will stop a rifle bullet :)
      so yes, a thick enough titanium plate will stop M2 AP
      but let me tell you why you dont want a titanium armor plate.
      titanium is an amazing alloy... it does some things really really well. and its still exotic enough that people still think its an "uber" material.
      with Ti, you get weight close to aluminum with resilliancy close to steel, its also very resistant to heat.
      note I said "close" to the resilliancy of steel... this is important.
      steel is an amazing material... it is so commonplace that most folks dismiss it as "pah... its just steel". but I would agree with those who would say that steel was the game changer that ushered in the industrialized era... it was a big deal.
      you can harden it, you can soften it, it can bend and flex quite a bit without fatiguing, and you can hit it really hard without shattering or cracking it, its easy to cut, easy to weld, and all of these things can be done in a rural blacksmiths shop with nothing but a forge, and an anvil, a d some basic tools.
      Ti is miles more difficult to work with. ergo far more expensive.
      ti doesent harden well, and alloys that are hard have a tendency to fatigue or crack which is why Ti makes a lousy knife blade (it wont hold an edge worth a damn for long if its a softer alloy, but harder alloys chip at the edge or snap the blade under heavy use.) certain other metals commonly used in hand tool steel alloys will corrdode titanium (vandium is one of the most common)
      its also more prone to cracking than hardened steel, meaning bullets will punch plugs out of it. to avoid this the material will need to be thicker than a similar steel plate of the same protective value, which adds weight... and bulk. so the plate would end up being twice as thick, and nearly the same weight, at 5 times the cost.
      basically a Ti plate is not cost effective when compared to steel or ceramics.
      the russians (who are sitting on the largest Ti deposits on the planet by the way) tried it back in the 80s for thier small arms protective inserts... they wouldnt stop rifle fire. only fragments and low velocity pistol threats.
      you would use Ti in an application where you need heat resistance and light weight, and price is no object.
      if you just need light weight, aluminum will probably do
      if you need heat resistance, stainless steel alloys will do nicely.
      you need both... like parts in a turbine engine for your latest fighter jet? thats what Ti is good for.
      another thing Ti is good for is bicycle frames, its lighter than steel, which gives a good ride, but is far more compliant than aluminum which gives a very harsh ride. so you get a nice springy,compliant ride like a cromoly steel tube frame, but a weight similar to an aluminum frame.
      at one hell of a rough price tag.

    6:48 okay so I’ve got an excellent question in case if you ever do a comment based video again. I love guns, they’re a part of my life. They have been since I was a child. I love the science behind them. Your channel is funny, entertaining, and educational. But one thing I’ve always wondered is why you have to aim LOW if there are no sights attached to a rifle? All sights are elevated to a certain degree, and I feel like with no sights, you shouldn’t have to aim that low because you’re looking down range closer to the actual barrel. So basically, how do scopes and battery powered sights have the ability to perform with more precision, if they’re mounted HIGHER than the barrel? Might be a stupid question, but who gives a damn 😂 love your work bud, you make this whole ammo shortage bs way more bearable. Keep up the great work 👍

      They do, but they aren't rated for rounds like these. 9mm maybe. Armored helmets are more for shrapnel from grenades. I've seen demo ranch shoot some, and while they stop small rounds like 22 and 38 spc, they definitely won't save you from any rifle threat.
