This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test comparing Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) and Soft Point (SP) ammunition against RMA Armament body armor. The test involves firing both ammunition types into ballistic gel placed behind the armor, with a water jug serving as a penetration indicator. The FMJ round impacted the ceramic plate, fragmenting, while the SP round's performance is observed for its potential to penetrate the armor and the water jug.

This video provides an in-depth review and ballistic test of the RMA Armament 1165MC Gen 2 NIJ Level IV body armor. The reviewer details the plate's specifications, including its thinness, high purity ceramic composition, multi-curve design, and lightweight construction. Multiple ballistic tests are conducted using various calibers (.30-06, 5.56x45mm, 9mm, .22LR) against a water jug target to assess penetration and backface deformation, demonstrating the armor's protective capabilities.

This video reviews the RMA Armor RF3 Level IV ballistic plates, highlighting their lightweight, thin profile, and advanced ceramic composition. The presenter conducts rigorous testing against military-grade ammunition including M855A1, M80A1, and the 6.8x51mm cartridge, demonstrating the plates' ability to stop threats with minimal backface deformation. The review also touches on edge protection capabilities and compares the RF3 to traditional SAPI plates.

This video details the testing of the new RMA RF2 Plus armor plate, designed to bridge the gap between Level 3 and Level 4 protection. The presenter conducts rigorous ballistic tests using various rifle calibers, including M855, M855A1, .30-06 black tip AP, and the high-pressure 6.8x51mm cartridge. The armor demonstrates impressive performance, stopping all rated threats and even exceeding expectations on a fresh plate against the 6.8x51mm round, while highlighting the importance of backface deformation considerations.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of M855A1 and M193 ammunition against AR500 steel armor using various AR-15 barrel lengths (14.7", 16", 18", and 20"). The results indicate that M855A1 can penetrate AR500 with a 20-inch barrel but is stopped by a 14.7-inch barrel. M193 penetrates AR500 with 18-inch and 20-inch barrels but is stopped by a 16-inch barrel. The presenter concludes that AR500 may not be reliable against standard ball ammunition from longer barrels, favoring ceramic armor.

This video compares steel and ceramic body armor, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses. Ceramic armor excels at stopping higher threats by shattering and breaking bullets, while steel armor is more durable against multiple hits and less susceptible to damage from drops. Both types are presented with comparable weight, but steel is noted as being thinner.
