This video from The VSO Gun Channel features a comprehensive ballistic plate test of Codex Armory's AR500 plates. The presenter, demonstrating significant expertise, subjects the plates to various calibers including 5.56 NATO, 7.62 Soviet, 7.62 NATO, and 264 Win Mag. The testing focuses on the plates' multi-hit capacity, trauma mitigation via Poron XRD foam, and anti-spalling capabilities. The results indicate the plates are robust, capable of withstanding multiple impacts from common rifle rounds, though a high volume of fire at close range or specialized hypersonic rounds can defeat them.
