This video reviews the LA Police Gear Level 4 ceramic body armor plates, testing their performance against 30-06 Armor Piercing (AP) rounds. The presenter, Elliott Delp, highlights the plates' affordability and compatibility with various plate carriers. The testing demonstrates the plates' ability to withstand multiple AP hits, though the fifth round in the same impact zone penetrated.

The video explains the decision to stop reviewing steel body armor due to the increasing affordability and performance of composite and ceramic alternatives. The speaker highlights that while steel armor stops impacts, it suffers from spalling and is heavy. Modern ceramic Level IV plates, often bundled with carriers and accessories for under $500, offer superior performance, lighter weight, and eliminate spalling concerns, making steel armor technologically obsolete for most users.

This video from Brandon Herrera, a prominent industry influencer and manufacturer, humorously tackles the high cost of tactical gear, particularly Level 4 ceramic body armor, through meme reviews and personal anecdotes. He touches on firearm history, community submissions, and the realities of gun ownership, all delivered with his signature high-energy, satirical tone.
