This video tests an OEM Chinese Level 4 ballistic plate sourced directly from a manufacturer. The plate, composed of alumina ceramic and high-density polyethylene with aramid fibers, was subjected to .223/5.56, 7.62x39, and .308 Winchester rounds. While it stopped all projectiles with minimal penetration, significant backface deformation was observed, particularly with the .308. The testing highlights the plate's construction and potential cost-saving measures like foam edging, which may reduce effective ceramic coverage.
This video provides an expert-level assessment of a budget-friendly Chinese ballistic plate, testing its NIJ Level IV Stand Alone capabilities against various rifle and handgun calibers. The hosts, experienced tactical gear reviewers, demonstrate the plate's surprising resilience, stopping rounds from a 7.62x39mm VZ rifle and a 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant, and showing significant resistance even after multiple impacts. The testing includes observing backface deformation using a clay block, highlighting the plate's performance relative to its $100 price point.
