When the SHTF, this is the armor you want to be wearing. Â Durable, and capable of stopping all common North American rifle, shotgun, and pistol rounds. Â Plus, we’ve tested our armor with penetrator 5.56 ammunition, and it barely dented it!
Stops:Â Â M-855 Ball, 5.56, 7.62×39, 7.62×51, 30-06, .357 mag, .45 cal, 9mm, 12 Gauge Shotgun slugs, and more. Â All of these rounds were fired from semi-auto AR-15s, AK-47s, MAK-90s, bolt action Rifles, Glocks, Revolvers, and pump shotguns.
Tested for: 308 Winchester Full Metal Jacket = 7.62 X 51 mm NATO, 6 rounds at ~ 2,750 fps ( ~838 mps)
This is a level III+ plate tested by a certified NIJ laboratory. Complies with MIL-46100 Rev E. for class 1 armor and passed the test against a 30 Caliber Armor Piercing bullet at 2426 fps as tested at the US Army Aberdeen Test Center.
These 10×12″  plates are formed from 1/4″ Abrasion Resistant Brinell Hardness 550 steel (AR550), the same variety used by the military in armored vehicles.  We laser cut each piece and add a 20 degree bend that conforms to the human torso.  After preparing the metal, we add a special  1/4″ polymer  coating that serves to trap bullet fragments.
The standard 10×12 size fits most plate carriers. Â We, of course, recommend purchasing a carrier from us; but, if you already own a carrier, these plates will likely fit.
Each steel plate weighs 7.5 lb and the anti-spall coating adds an additional 1.5 lb. These are a little heavier than ceramic or SAPI plates, but MUCH more durable. NIJ 0101.04 Compliant Armor.
