This video breaks down the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) body armor standards into five levels based on ballistic performance. It explains that as performance increases, so does the level. The instructor notes that Level IIA and Level II are handgun-rated but less common due to advancements in materials, with most consumers and companies opting for Level IIIA and above.

This video from Polenar Tactical investigates the effect of applying oil to an NIJ Level 3A ballistic vest. Testing with various 9mm rounds reveals that oil significantly reduces the vest's ability to stop projectiles, allowing for deeper penetration. The experiment demonstrates that lubricating the vest's fibers diminishes friction, making them more susceptible to being pushed apart by incoming rounds.

This entry details how bulletproof vests function, as explained by an expert from Polenar Tactical. It covers the role of aramid fibers in absorbing projectile energy, leading to bullet mushrooming and reduced penetration. The explanation is supported by visual evidence of a 10mm XRG round being stopped by a vest insert.
