This video from Kentucky Ballistics, featuring Demolition Ranch and Garand Thumb, tests the ballistic resistance of CrossFit weight vest steel plates. The experiment demonstrates that these improvised plates can stop a surprising range of handgun and rifle calibers, including 9mm, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, and .308 Winchester. While a single plate is defeated by a .50 BMG round, two stacked plates successfully stop it. The high-energy, experimental approach highlights the potential of these plates as makeshift armor.
