This video details an experimental test by Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch, assessing the effectiveness of .458 SOCOM ammunition against AR500 Armor Level 3+ steel plates. The test reveals that while individual rounds may not penetrate, the cumulative kinetic energy of multiple .458 SOCOM impacts can eventually cause the steel plate to shatter. The experiment highlights the limitations of body armor against sustained high-energy rifle calibers.
