This video demonstrates the construction and testing of a DIY rifle-rated body armor using readily available materials. The creator details using ceramic tiles, fiberglass fire blankets, and epoxy to create a protective vest, which is then tested against 5.56x45mm rifle rounds. The armor successfully stopped the rounds, though it showed significant bulging on the back.

This guide details a DIY method to potentially upgrade AR500 Armor Level III steel plates to a higher ballistic standard using common hardware store ceramic tiles. The process involves epoxying tiles to the steel plate and then testing the modified armor against threats like .308 API rounds. The video demonstrates that with careful application, this modification can effectively stop high-powered rifle rounds, though proper testing is crucial.
