      I'm guessing you're talking about Level IIIA soft body armor which is only rated for handguns. We carry several other types of body armor that will easily stop M193.

      Snd even then, can you stop the man with the gun before he decides to pull the trigger, blowing your teeth thru your skull? Or maybe his finger slips because he saw you make a sudden move (true story, friend got shot that way). Dont over estimate yourself bro go buy a gun lol

    may I ask If I wanted to stand the highest chance of surviving a bullet with the highest speed size energy etc what armor provides the most protection from your range and are you adding a stronger armor soon like double thickness 650 armaply

      @gregsall5872 6 лет назад +2

      rikudou sennin Once you get to a certain round the resulting blunt force trama can crush your chest and collapse your lungs. They are designed as a last line of defence and should be treated as such. But I would recommend lvl 4 for best chance of stopping most rounds.

      @@gregsall5872 yeah your right this is why ive always wanted to invent liquid body armor made of stuff like gallium and d40 since if i could somehow make the electromagnetics heat and cool the gallium correctly it would be nigh impenetrable with the right thickness and keep the impact from knocking you out

    So the coating you guys use, is it better than ar500 or similar? To me it definitely looks different

    • @SpartanArmorSystems
      @SpartanArmorSystems  3 года назад +1

      So ours is different! We have a proprietary coating called encapsaloc which we've developed. It's a little more elastic to contain the fragments as the ricochet of the plates. AR500 use to use Paxcon from Linex but we found it to be to hard. They have since change their coating but we haven't tested it since the change was just made recently and it take 16 to 20 weeks :-) Hope this answers your questions

    This video states the level 3+ plate can stop 6 shots of .556 at 3000 fps, the website states 3100 fps, and a video by iraqveteran8888 stopped m193 moving at nearly 3300 fps. Which one is the most accurate? There's a lot of difference in 300fps. Just curious.

      spartan armors ar550 plates are probably the best steel plates on the market from the research ive done. steelops and predator armor also have great plates. i bought the SA ar550 plates with full coating but id still like to get a frag bag just in case. will roll a few layers of gorilla tape around it all too to increase frag protection, the duct tape will help keep the frag coating tight to the plate and help prevent the sides from failing. with 3a soft kevlar and a scorpion tactical trauma pad my vest is very comfy and cushioned. yeah its heavy but im not planning on rucking far in it, its for home defense/static security in my town/neighborhood just in case.
