This video features Dave Steinbach, a Subject Matter Expert and retired Army Ranger, testing an AR-15 with 5.56 green tip ammunition against a Level III ballistic plate from 25 yards. The video poses the question of whether the bullet will penetrate the plate, referencing divided opinions from a previous video. It also previews a future test involving a GLOCK 34 and 124-grain FMJ rounds against copy paper. The content aims to engage viewers with predictions and a prize drawing for correct answers.

This video features a "Blast Off Mondays" segment where the SIG SAUER P365 is tested by shooting at a 4-inch thick tree from 20 yards using 124-grain JHP ammunition. The experiment aims to determine if the tree can act as sufficient cover or if the bullet will penetrate. The description also announces the winner of a previous random drawing and teases next week's challenge, which involves shooting a Level III plate with a carbine using 5.56 green tip ammo from 25 yards, with another prize drawing for correct guesses in the comments.

This video details a challenge where Lena Miculek and guests attempt to build homemade body armor with a limited budget and time. The DIY creations are then tested against various calibers, highlighting the significant differences in performance and design compared to professional body armor like Premier Body Armor's Level III plate. The experiment demonstrates the complexities of ballistic protection and the effectiveness of engineered solutions.

This video details a rigorous long-range test of AR500 Level III body armor at 400 meters against .300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua Magnum, and .50 BMG calibers. Expertly conducted by Iraqveteran8888, the test demonstrates the armor's effectiveness against standard rifle rounds but highlights its catastrophic failure against .50 BMG, emphasizing that no body armor is impervious to all threats.

This video details a rigorous test of the Scorpius Tactical AR500 Level III body armor plate with a frag coating. The plate was subjected to multiple impacts from 9mm, 7.62x39, and 7.62x54R rounds, with a simulated torso behind it to assess penetration and backface deformation. The testing demonstrated the plate's ability to stop all tested rounds without penetration, with minimal spalling and surprisingly little damage to the simulated ribs, earning it a high rating.

This guide details the testing of AR500 Armor Level III steel plates, demonstrating their effectiveness against various handgun and rifle threats, including .30-06 AP and 5.56 M855. The video highlights the importance of the Line-X/Paxcon anti-spall coating and the 'shooter's cut' design. It concludes that while the armor provides significant protection, it is a supplement to, not a replacement for, tactical awareness and proper defensive strategy.
