This video tests the ballistic resistance of budget TEMU Level IV rifle plates against various calibers, culminating in a 50 BMG test. The presenter demonstrates that while a single plate fails against the 50 BMG, two plates stacked together successfully stop the round. A comparison with a higher-end RMA Armament plate shows significant differences in backface deformation, highlighting the trade-offs between cost and performance.

This video tests the effectiveness of RMA body armor against rifle rounds at 200 yards. The demonstration uses a ballistic dummy, 'Ballistic Bob,' equipped with RMA plates in a Condor vest. The test involves firing both a 6.5 PRC bolt-action rifle and a 5.56x45mm NATO AR-15 at various angles and locations on the armor, highlighting the importance of shot placement and the limitations of plate armor, especially at angles.
