This video explains the critical differences between single-hit and multi-hit ballistic plates, emphasizing that 'ICW' or 'In Conjunction With' plates require a soft armor insert to achieve their rated protection. Proper assembly involves layering the soft insert behind the hard plate in the carrier. Fitment is crucial: the plate carrier should be snug enough to move with the body but allow for deep breaths.

The RMA Armament Model 1155 Level IV body armor plates are NIJ certified and tested against significant threats including .30-06 AP, .223 Remington, and 7.62x54R Silver Tip rounds, all of which were successfully stopped. While effective against standard threats, the plates were penetrated by a .50 BMG API round in an extreme test, as expected. The plates offer a balance of protection and affordability.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of Robo Vest armor against two threats: a 9mm Glock and a 7.62mm Dragunov sniper rifle. The Level IIIA vest successfully stopped multiple 9mm rounds without penetration. The Level 4 vest, equipped with hard armor plates, also stopped the high-caliber Dragunov round, demonstrating effective protection against rifle threats.
