This video demonstrates the durability of Predator Armor's Level III+ body armor, made from AR650 steel. The presenter, Nate from Predator Armor, shows that the armor can withstand being run over by a truck without fracturing, bending, or breaking. He explains that while AR650 steel might be perceived as more brittle, this is primarily during the forming process, and it requires immense pressure (around 40,000 pounds) to cause damage, far exceeding typical threats.

This video focuses on Level III+ body armor from Predator Armor, highlighting its construction with AR650 steel and the option for a Kevlar-lined spall and fragmentation protective layer. The description details the unique heat-treating process for enhanced hardness and superior ballistic properties, allowing for thinner, lighter plates. It also mentions a base coat for aesthetics and durability, and strongly advises the Kevlar lining for anti-spall and fragmentation mitigation, especially if the carrier lacks these features. The video provides a direct link to purchase the armor.

This video reviews the Predator Armor Level III+ ballistic plate, highlighting its construction from AR650 steel for enhanced stopping power against high-velocity rounds. It details the benefits of the powder coat finish for durability and rust protection, and the ergonomic curve for comfortable wear. The option for a Kevlar wrap is presented for spall and frag mitigation, covered by a protective nylon layer.

This video features a torture test of Predator Armor's Level III+ body armor, specifically focusing on its performance against M193 5.56x45mm ammunition fired from a 20-inch barrel. The description highlights that the AR650 steel used in the armor is designed to withstand higher velocity rounds. A link to purchase armor from Predator Armor is provided.
