This video demonstrates the durability of Predator Armor's Level III+ body armor, made from AR650 steel. The presenter, Nate from Predator Armor, shows that the armor can withstand being run over by a truck without fracturing, bending, or breaking. He explains that while AR650 steel might be perceived as more brittle, this is primarily during the forming process, and it requires immense pressure (around 40,000 pounds) to cause damage, far exceeding typical threats.
This video focuses on Level III+ body armor from Predator Armor, highlighting its construction with AR650 steel and the option for a Kevlar-lined spall and fragmentation protective layer. The description details the unique heat-treating process for enhanced hardness and superior ballistic properties, allowing for thinner, lighter plates. It also mentions a base coat for aesthetics and durability, and strongly advises the Kevlar lining for anti-spall and fragmentation mitigation, especially if the carrier lacks these features. The video provides a direct link to purchase the armor.
