This video from Polenar Tactical, featuring expert Žiga, demonstrates rigorous testing of Protection Group Denmark's U-line ESAPI XL Level 4 ballistic plates against unconventional threats beyond standard NIJ 0101.06 testing. The expert guide outlines a comprehensive testing methodology, from baseline rifle threats to extreme scenarios like grenade fragmentation and multi-shot rifle impacts on damaged plates. The assessment highlights the plate's exceptional performance even when compromised, offering valuable insights for tactical gear users and armor manufacturers.

This video demonstrates a humorous, yet illustrative, test of RMA Armament's 'King of Armor' ballistic plate. A gummy bear, simulated by a bear-shaped water bottle, is shown to feel more secure when presented with the body armor, highlighting its protective capabilities in a lighthearted manner. The demonstration uses readily available items to visualize the concept of ballistic protection.

This video demonstrates a durability test of the Tardigrade Industries Maxilla face mask against various calibers, including .22LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, .223, and .500 AutoMax. The mask, rated Level 3A, successfully stopped all projectiles, with only the .500 AutoMax causing significant deformation without penetration. The presenter highlights the mask's resilience and its suitability for personal protection.

This video tests budget Level IV body armor plates purchased from Temu. The testing involves multiple calibers, including 9mm, .22LR, 5.56mm (ball and green tip AP), and .458 SOCOM. The presenter evaluates the plates based on penetration, structural integrity, and backface deformation, ultimately concluding that while compromised, the budget plates offer a viable option for emergency preparedness on a budget.

This video demonstrates the capability of the M61 round in piercing AR500 steel at close distances. The title and description explicitly warn viewers against attempting this themselves, emphasizing that the activity is for testing purposes only. This suggests a focus on ballistics, material science related to armor, and the destructive power of certain ammunition types.

This video details a comprehensive ballistic testing of the Premier Body Armor Fortis Level III+ GT plate, a NIJ RF2 rated armor designed as a lightweight alternative to Level IV plates. The testing involves multiple rifle caliber threats at close range (25 feet) and extended distances (100 yards), evaluating penetration and back face deformation. The plate demonstrates impressive performance against common threats like 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm, while also showing its limitations against higher-level threats at longer ranges as expected.

This video provides a practical, hands-on test of a Chinese PLA helmet's ballistic resistance. The host, demonstrating high authority and practical knowledge, tests the helmet against various calibers from Birdshot up to .223. The results show the helmet can withstand handgun rounds but is penetrated by a .223 rifle round.

This video demonstrates the Lima 6, a prototype belt-fed 5.56 upper receiver, in action against an RMA Armor plate. The demonstration, led by an instructor with high authority and expertise, showcases the firearm's rapid cycling and compatibility with accessories like a Primary Arms optic and suppressor. The content highlights the potential of this unique firearm system for tactical applications.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of the Anzio 20mm Suppressed Sniper Rifle, showcasing its immense power and ballistic capabilities. Kentucky Ballistics, with high authority in recreational firearm testing, details the rifle's specifications, compares its 20mm Vulcan caliber to other rounds, and conducts rigorous testing against ballistic dummies and body armor. The demonstration highlights the rifle's significant recoil, muzzle blast, and its ability to easily penetrate Level III+ body armor.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test of a Hoplite Armor Level III+ dangler plate, weighing 11 ounces. The plate successfully stopped 9mm, 5.56mm (55 grain), and 7.62x39mm steel core rounds without full penetration, though some bulging and damage were observed. The test highlights the potential for lightweight armor to protect vital organs in the lower torso.

This video appears to be a test of firearm plates using ammunition that may not be approved. The title suggests a practical demonstration and evaluation of equipment under stress. The description provides a link to a full test video, indicating a more in-depth look at the performance and results.
