This video tests the ballistic protection of a 5lb gym plate against various calibers, from .22 LR up to .308 Winchester. The results show that while the gym plate can withstand smaller calibers with minimal damage, it is significantly penetrated by rifle rounds and even larger handgun rounds like the .44 Magnum and 9mm, demonstrating it is not a viable substitute for certified body armor. The testing highlights the plate's surprising resilience to handgun fire but its complete failure against rifle threats.
