The Garand Thumb video tests the Russian 6B45 Granite body armor against various NATO calibers, finding it performs exceptionally well, comparable to NIJ Level IV standards despite its lightweight and thin profile. It successfully stops 7.62x39mm, 5.56x45mm (including M855A1), 7.62x51mm, and even .30-06 AP rounds, with only the high-energy .300 Winchester Magnum causing complete destruction, though still preventing penetration. The review highlights the effectiveness of modern Russian armor and cautions against underestimating adversaries.
This video tests the Russian 6B45 military body armor against various handgun and rifle calibers. While it successfully stops common handgun rounds and even 7.62x39mm from an AK-47, it is ultimately defeated by a full-power 8mm Mauser round from a Kar98k. The test highlights the armor's effectiveness against intermediate threats but its limitations against high-power rifle cartridges.
