This video compares AR500 steel and ceramic composite ballistic plates. Steel plates (NIJ Level 3) are durable and handle multiple hits but are heavy and pose a spalling risk. Ceramic plates (NIJ Level 4) are lighter and stop higher velocity rounds but are fragile and vulnerable to repeated impacts in the same area. The choice depends on threat profile and weight needs.

This video directly compares ceramic and steel body armor plates in a hands-on test. The creator acknowledges some testing limitations, such as not placing the plates in a carrier and an unintentional misstatement of the term 'spalling' (referring to it as 'sprawling'). Despite these minor issues, the video aims to provide practical insights for viewers considering different body armor options. Links to specific products tested, along with discount codes and the creator's social media and merchandise, are provided.

This video tests a CATI Level 3A Plus steel pistol-rated armor plate against 12-gauge 4-buckshot and supersonic 300 Blackout 147-grain FMJ ammunition. While the plate stopped both threats, it showed signs of cracking and bulging under the rifle round, indicating it is not designed for rifle protection. The test highlights the plate's superior performance compared to Level 3A soft armor, particularly in managing back face deformation.
