This video compares the performance of Level 3+ AR 550 steel, Level 4 ceramic, and Level 3 UHMWPE body armor plates when subjected to multiple 5.56x45mm (223 Remington) rounds. The testing focuses on spalling and total plate defeat. The UHMWPE plate demonstrated superior performance in preventing spalling and withstanding numerous impacts, while the steel plate showed good resistance but some spalling and cracking. The ceramic plate exhibited significant spalling early in the testing and was deemed less effective in this regard.
