    In this video, we are testing out the new Advanced Triple Curve (ATC) AR500 plate from Spartan Armor Systems. This particular plate is a Level III plate which can stand up to .308 rifle threats, however we are only testing pistol threats on the plate today to demonstrate the excellent anti-spalling capabilities of the coating after multiple hits. We know that anything we throw at it today isn't going to make it through, but you never know when it comes to redneck science. Stay tuned for testing of this plate with rifle threats in the near future as well as the newest Level IV composite plate from Spartan Armor Systems.

    Eric let me first start out by thanking you for taking your time to really help out the gun community by making videos and so on. I don't know if you are aware of this or not but recently there has been three lawsuits filed against the BATFE for their enforcement of the unconstitutional 1986 machine gun ban and the rejection of Trust submissions for new machine guns. The main attorney behind at least one of these lawsuits raised $40,000+ out of the $50,000 he wanted and did so in only a months time! This fundraising started back in the month of May I believe so God only knows how much money he has received by now. Eric I would really appreciate it if you and Chad would make a video on these pending lawsuits so that "We the People" can all be informed. Also I am sick and tired of these complaining children who constantly leave comments complaining about how hard it is to get the law repealed. If these little children would actually fight for the repeal of this so called law and for the cause of freedom then maybe they would have more of a say in the matter. Thanks Eric and God Bless

      Eric and Chad please make a Gun Gripes episode on the three pending lawsuits filed against the BATFE for their enforcement of the unconstitutional 1986 machine gun ban and for the rejection of Trust submissions for new machine guns by the BATFE. Eric and Chad if you would make a Gun Gripes episode on this subject then tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands would be informed and this so called law would not last more than a few more years. Please get the word out and God Bless and also thanks for the great video. Subscriber since the start of the Gun Gripes series!

    Good morning Eric and Chad. I would love to see a side-by-side comparison of Spartan Armor Systems ATC AR500 Plate and the other AR500 Armor. They have two very different anti-spalding pads so I would like to see how they perform in their carrier pouches. I would also like to see them in a box frame on red potter's clay so that we can see how the plates distort on impact before returning to near normal shape. Thanks for considering.

    Great Vid Sir thanks! Here is a question no one asked. I have watched every vid I could find on this plate. They shot the Multi Curved and then the new triple curved all with new coating. I notice when hit near edges the lead does break on the corners and fly out. Also noticed when the lead does hit center it finds it way out of side. So would it not be smarter to wear / buy the Multi curved rather then the triple curved because the triple curved comes into you more face sides gut etc? They sell Formed / Multi Curved ad triple curved. I would not go with Formed because of comfort but it just makes sense not to want to go with the triple because like I said the lead will find it way out and the end up glancing more into your area rather then Multi curved. Am i making sense or missing something? Thanks

    Hey! Great video, I always enjoy watching these. I know AR500 is more of a civilian steel, is there any way you could test a level III plate made from MIL-A46100? That's what I wear every day for work as a Military Contractor and I'm just curious to see how it would hold up. It looks thinner than the AR500 that's all I know. Thanks!

      stevemccollum2011 Lol, yeah. Although just because they say "AR500", that may not mean that the plate is steel; there is a company called AR500 that makes these same types of plates, but they also make plates that use ceramic components rather than steel.
