This review tests a budget ballistic mask from Temu, allegedly rated for handgun calibers up to .44 Magnum. While it successfully stops numerous rounds from .22LR to 7.5 FK Brno, significant backface deformation occurs with smaller calibers, posing a risk of blunt force trauma. The mask ultimately fails against the powerful .460 S&W Magnum round. The review highlights the ethical considerations of using uncertified budget gear and the inherent dangers of blunt force trauma.

This video showcases the experimental PowerGolf ballistic golf club, a device modified to propel golf balls using .25 caliber blanks. It features adjustable power settings from 75 to 200 yards and demonstrates significant impact force on various targets, including organic materials and a ballistic dummy bust, highlighting its potential for blunt force trauma.

This video rigorously tests a bulletproof hoodie's ballistic capabilities using a realistic dummy. While the Level 3A soft armor successfully stops handgun rounds up to .44 Magnum and even a 12-gauge slug and .50 AE, significant blunt force trauma is a major concern. The hoodie fails against rifle rounds like .45-70 and .30-06, highlighting its limitations.

This video tests the lethality of pistol whipping using a ballistic dummy head. Strikes with a Hi-Point C9 caused significant trauma, including broken bones and a fractured neck, demonstrating its potential for blunt force injury. However, shooting the dummy head with a Glock 23 in .40 S&W resulted in far more catastrophic damage, highlighting that a firearm's primary function is significantly more lethal.

This video demonstrates a 9mm round fired point-blank into a heavily used body armor vest. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows the vest successfully catching the projectile but transferring significant blunt force trauma, evidenced by a dented water bucket behind the vest. The Springfield Hellcat Pro was used for the test.

This YouTube Shorts video from Predator Armor showcases their Non-Ballistic Trauma Pads. The description emphasizes their function in protecting against injuries caused by back face deformation by dissipating impact energy and reducing transmitted force. The pads are designed to be comfortable when worn with body armor, utilizing high-density, flexible materials to absorb impact and reduce blunt force trauma. A link to the full video and the product on their website is provided.

This video tests the blunt force trauma effects of high-caliber 'elephant guns' on Level IV body armor using a realistic zombie torso. While some rounds penetrated the armor, even those stopped caused significant internal damage, shattering ribs and organs. The experiment highlights that stopping a projectile doesn't guarantee survival due to extreme energy transfer.

This video details a rigorous ballistic testing protocol for GBRS Group's Level III ICW Special Threat Plates. The tests involve firing 5.56mm, 9mm, and 5.56mm M855 green tip ammunition into the plates mounted on ballistic gel torsos. Expert analysis focuses on backface deformation and the potential for blunt force trauma, even without penetration, highlighting the importance of soft armor backers. The assessment concludes with a positive impression of the plates' performance relative to their weight and cost.

This video focuses on the Predator Armor Non-Ballistic Trauma Pads, highlighting their function in mitigating injuries from back face deformation when used with body armor. The description emphasizes how these high-density, flexible pads dissipate impact energy, reduce transmitted force, and absorb blunt force trauma, ultimately enhancing comfort. The video directs viewers to the Predator Armor website for purchasing these accessories.

This video provides an overview of Predator Armor's Non-Ballistic Trauma Pads. The description highlights their function in protecting against back face deformation and blunt force trauma by dissipating impact energy. These pads are engineered for comfort when worn with body armor and are designed to be compatible with Predator Armor's Level IIIA, Level III, and Level III+ armor plates. The pads are made from high-density, flexible materials to absorb impact. A link to purchase is provided.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of Level IIIA+ soft body armor against various handgun calibers, including .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 7.62x25mm Tokarev. While the armor successfully stops these handgun rounds, the impact energy causes significant blunt force trauma, as evidenced by damage to a watermelon target. The video also highlights that soft armor is not designed for rifle threats, showing its penetration by 5.45x39mm rounds. The testing is conducted by Brandon Herrera, a respected figure in the firearms community.

This video tests blunt force trauma mitigation of different body armor types using Roma Plastilina clay as a tissue simulant. A steel plate showed minimal backface signature against 7.62 NATO, while a standalone ceramic plate registered 20.5mm. However, the ceramic plate with a soft armor backer drastically reduced the impact, demonstrating the effectiveness of layered protection for lighter wear.
