This ballistic penetration test compares AR500 steel plates against standard hot-rolled steel of varying thicknesses. Results show AR500 reliably stops high-velocity rifle rounds like .308 and SS109, while mild steel offers minimal protection against these threats. Thicker mild steel can stop some pistol and lower-power rifle rounds but is easily defeated by armor-piercing ammunition.
