    so am I the only one who thinks making an armor plate smaller more streamlined/ergonomic is a little bit of a bad idea? those plates even at full size only cover so much. with pieces trimmed off sure it covers the inportan bits but I'd rather it cover more than less.

    • @saltydiarrhea386

      It's an odds game in trade for mobility/extra gear.

    • @desired397
      @desired397 9 лет назад +5

      +Salty Diarrhea yeah I sorta figured. of course you could have soldiers running around in full suits of balistic steel armor like some modern knight but their mobility would go down the shitter.

    • @desired397
      @desired397 9 лет назад +6

      +Tombs Clawtooth I get what you are saying and I completely agree. but I found how you said it a bit funny, like saying I'm okay if my car doesn't have winter tires or a block heater in it but it's fine because I live near a mechanic. but yeah im sure it will do what it was designed to do and you won't get a bullet in your lungs or kidneys. though its probably better not to get shot in the first place.

      +Jeff Mcfarlane If you are taking fire from the enemy your strategy sucks. If you are letting your armor tank numerous rounds your mobility sucks. The ability to move faster and more freely while maintaining a net weight savings is important.
      This is the impetus behind research and development of TALOS, Boston Dynamics BigDog, and Polaris DAGOR.

    • @TubeYou7
      @TubeYou7 9 лет назад +5

      +Jeff Mcfarlane It's kind of like the trade offs you make for a smaller more concealable firearm that's harder to shoot but easier/lighter to carry and just like with firearms the best one is the one you're actually going to use/carry. Also body Armor is not really made for you to be free to take shots it's made to HOPEFULLY stop you from dying if you happen to get shoot.

    I've moved over to AR500 armor and noticed tons of movement or slip within my carriers (PIG, LBT, and Eagle.) I know the carriers were made for the width of ESAPI/SAPI plates. A friend of mine showed me a little DIY project that cured all of the above problems. Get a yoga mat or elliptical mat, and cut two stencils of the plate size, and glue them to the back and front of AR500 plates. Put some weight on them for 12 hours and you're done. By doing this it's thickens the plate up to remove slop within your carrier, also adds a little extra comfort. Great video.

    Great work Eric and Chad!! I love these videos. I'm a 3 time customer with Spartan Armor Systems and I couldn't be happier with their products and service. I own the Armaply plates and its good to know they work as advertised, especially up close. The swimmers cut makes a world of difference when transferring my rifles from shoulder to shoulder.

    The M1A is a bad ass rifle, but if you get the Scout model.... DAMN! Buy a M1A Scout add a supressor, remove the factory stock, replace it with Archangel's Precision Stock, and slap on a 3-9x32 Compact Scope... Such a beauty! Hell, with the Archangel Precision Stock, it has a rail under the barrel so you can add a grip or a bi-pod (I'd put a Magpul AFG2 on it, personally)!

      I so want the SOCOM 16 in the worst way!!! I'm actually considering selling my AXIS II in .308 to help fund it...ugh...I just don't know because the thing's so damned accurate... and that trigger. Decisions decisions.

    • @Megames2012
      @Megames2012 9 лет назад +2

      The M1A is a very nice battle rifle, but for hunting, I'd stick with the Axis (I have one without the accutrigger, and you're so lucky to have one. LOL). For match shooting and all out war, go with the M1A. The SOCOM is nice, but the recoil is gonna be a little bit more, and just with two more inches with the Scout, you can get better accuracy at range. I'd say go Scout, not SOCOM; oh and also the M1A are heavy as hell! Personally, when I think SOCOM, I think tactical, lightweight, nimble, accurate. Just my views and opinions.

    • @hamsteaks5541
      @hamsteaks5541 9 лет назад

      All Games I would like to kindly say, at the last part of your comment that you're wrong.
      Accuracy is NOT effected by barrel length, RANGE and velocity are though.
      Velocity is key. That's why something like a SOCOM 16 should be sought after, a battle rifle for the backyard and could reach out and hit something with FIXED sights to a realistic 200 yards.

    • @Megames2012
      @Megames2012 9 лет назад

      You're correct. Range and velocity, not range and accuracy. And yes, all the M1A rifles can easily reach to 200 yards with open sights. That's one reason why I love .308. As for Scout vs. SOCOM, it's a personal choice. 18 in barrel or 16 in barrel? Other than that, they're the same.

    • @lylejohnson2360

Good stuff...though the III Plus is not N.I.J. official, however it does protect against those common rifle rounds...7.62x39, 5.56, 7.62 NATO even 30-06 at CQB range. Good stuff. Thanks for the vid!

    Why the hell do people not get why they made this? It's made for concealment and comfort, not for soldiers to wear in open combat when a firefight is guaranteed. Still, some soldiers will likely use it. There are lots of reports of soldiers "going slick" and not using their plates, despite what they've been told, simply because the things are so fucking heavy and bulky, though this is mostly amongst special forces personnel. Frankly, any plate is good, and the more options, the better.

  • @joedoole3527

    M193 5.56mm out of a 22-24" barrel at 7 yds. Pop a hole right through it. M855 at the same distance won't. Any 308/7.62x51 won't either. It has to do with the higher velocity you can get with the lighter bullet.

      +xXFatalBlowXx “xXPowerShotXx” Cause black tip usually refers to armor piercing and we don't want no criminals or civis to start killing cops (even though standard 5.56 will go through their soft body armor) Black tip doesn't always signify AP but in the sense of military color designation for their rounds, it does.

    • @ScuffedEngineer

  • @Skipdigiddy
    @Skipdigiddy 9 лет назад

    Who is the barrel maker on that AR? I bet that AR is made with high quality parts and put together well so it is interesting that the M855 or M193, whichever gave poor accuracy, was so terrible. If that plate is 12 inches tall, that is something like 5 MOA groups you were getting, assuming a 20 inch group at 400 yards. Then a 4 inch group at 400 yards with hand loads, maybe that barrel was chambered specifically for the 60gr Nosler (Partition?).

  • @georgebarnard7831
    @georgebarnard7831 9 лет назад

    Whats the point of running inaccurate 55 grain round when you can fire an accurate 60 grain? Was it something to do with how the rifle was configured that made that particular round less accurate? Just strikes me as a bit pointless to be firing lighter, less accurate rounds.

      @_j.v.st._7367 9 лет назад

      +Hobbies Things ballistic clay, but basicly its -> Energy=recoil at the shoulder , in flight it looses energy , than at hits and the (less) energy get dispersed from 5.56mmx5.56mm=30.91mm² with the plate at ?cm² area of your body.
      Some people say "because the round hits so fast" it makes damage but it ofcourse need to overcome the plates inertia. I personaly dont think its to much. There was a aMurican solider hit by 7.62x54r or .30-06 (cant remember it anymore which one) at the plate , he was fine. And to the clay tests, you could also put the rifle's stock against it and it (theoreticly) would be similar deep.
      Standart Military Lvl IV plates hold up to .30-06ap (7.62x63 with tungstencarbidcore). Often even .338LapuaMagnum but than with backface deformation, that would broke a rib, but hey this round have ~6600 J .
      I would use lvl III+ or lvl IV. Good lvl III+ can stop even 7.62x54r ap, just M855A1 about of a long barrel (20-22") goes trough, and that ammo is rare for civilians. (ofcouse 5.56x45ap M955 also should go trough lvl III+)

    What's the point of these small plates? You aren't that well protected even head on, not to speak of any other angles. 90 degrees to the side and they protect nothing, even a 45 degree angle exposes you pretty badly. I get it's heavy but if you are going to carry all combat gear, a plate then how much would a bigger plate really add to the weight?

    • @civicsr2cool

      Swimmers cut helps with return fire. Having regular sized plates restricts your shoulders and messes up your shooting stance and restricts your movements. Especially if you are using a shotgun / rifle. Trying to shoulder the stock on the plate is horrible.

    Dear Eric & Chad ... Would really love to see these armor plates tested with big game rifles .. say like 416 Rigby, 458 Lott, 500 Jefferys, 577 Tyrannosaur, 700 Nitro ect ect BUT nothing less that a
    458 Winchester Magnum. .. And you might want to set up some shock sensors on whatever's behind that plate to see if the the shock is survivable, even if the bullet doesn't pass through the plate.
    Thanks guys ... Really hope you guys can pull this one off ;)

      +Patrick Flanagan (captiancrap) i also ask this myself, if they talk about longer ranges and spr's, home defence wouldt be too much the matter anymore, im more interested in the military perspectiv and for that m193/m855 is obsolete

    • @clays32
      @clays32 9 лет назад +1

      J.Strauch \Liandri/ I don't know what to say because what you said was exactly what was on my mind. How about we stop talking about what to do and just do it and say in every video we comment to test the m855a1 in the exact way the military does and keep doing that until they actually test the m855a1 projectile.

    • @_j.v.st._7367
      @_j.v.st._7367 9 лет назад

      Patrick Flanagan Yes, my two cents to 5.56x45 M855A1, i copy it from my other comment.
      Basicly if we talk about higher ranges (and body armor) its a military situation-> and in a military situation lvl IV plates would be standart which even stops .30-06ap (and .338LapuaMagnum but with backface deformation).
      So i personally say 5.56x45 M855A1 is the best to use, -> lot of ammo, low recoil, more rounds in a mag, fast bullet, low trajectory, so overall much higher chance (hit propability) to hit arms/leg/face. And M855A1 have mostly no neck (even out short barrels/ or long barrels and at high ranges), with its instant framentation it can rip apart arms and legs, compared do bigger calibers which are to stable and go trough.

    While these plates are rated at Level III by NIJ test standards, (for folks who don't know much about this): these kinds of plates CAN be penetrated by .223/5.56 ammunition. If you take a 20" barreled AR15 (.223/5.56) and set the range at 25m or less, 55gr ammo will cut through this stuff like a hot knife through butter. These kinds of plates are awesome! Just know, they have their limitations folks.
    Side note: heavier grained rounds like 62gr - 77gr can still get stopped at close range. I used a 1:7" twist barrel, and 55gr from various manufacturers will penetrate.

    • @Kamehaiku
      @Kamehaiku 6 лет назад

      Wrong! These are level III+ and are rated for high velocity 5.56, .223, even level 3 plate will stop .308 and standard 5.56

  • @joedoole3527
    @joedoole3527 7 лет назад

    You should try that 110 Lehigh bullet loaded into .30-06 on the same plate. I bet you could squeeze atleast 3500fps out of that bullet in .30-06. Also a good test would be loading some 55 FMJ in .22-250 around 3600 and see if it goes through, or use M193 in a 24-26" bolt gun. (I already know what happens and it may surprise you)
