This video reviews the RMA Armor RF3 Level IV ballistic plates, highlighting their lightweight, thin profile, and advanced ceramic composition. The presenter conducts rigorous testing against military-grade ammunition including M855A1, M80A1, and the 6.8x51mm cartridge, demonstrating the plates' ability to stop threats with minimal backface deformation. The review also touches on edge protection capabilities and compares the RF3 to traditional SAPI plates.

This video features a ballistic test comparing a .50 BMG rifle round against a seemingly inexpensive Chinese-made Level IV rifle plate, likely sourced from TEMU. The experiment aims to determine the effectiveness and durability of this budget body armor when subjected to high-powered rifle fire. The description highlights the affordability of the armor, positioning it as the "cheapest Body Armor."

This video provides a critical review of a $60 Level IV rifle plate purchased from Temu, manufactured by Shanghai Hongyanshun E-commerce Co., Ltd. The host, demonstrating high authority as a firearms reviewer, subjects the plate to rigorous testing with various calibers, including 5.56mm, 7.62x39mm, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Lapua Magnum. While the plate technically stops all rounds, it exhibits extreme backface deformation and significant damage, raising serious concerns about its protective capabilities and construction quality compared to professional-grade armor.

This video extensively tests the Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum, often referred to as a 'hand cannon' and the 'new Dirty Harry gun.' It compares its power and penetration capabilities against 9mm and .357 Magnum rounds, particularly in ballistic tests involving wood and a ballistic dummy. The video also evaluates RMA Level IV body armor against various calibers, including the .500 S&W Magnum.

This video tests RMA Level IV armor plates against various rifle rounds, including .30-06 M2 AP and 5.56 M855A1/M855, following news of the armor losing its NIJ certification. The testing demonstrates that the armor successfully stops multiple rounds, including M2 AP, even after its ceramic structure is compromised, suggesting it exceeds its certification requirements. The presenter, a firearms instructor, expresses continued confidence in RMA armor based on these results.

This expert guide details the testing of high-caliber 'elephant guns' against Level IV body armor, demonstrating blunt force trauma potential. Lead Firearms Instructor Scott from Kentucky Ballistics uses a ballistic dummy to visualize catastrophic internal damage, even when armor stops the projectile. The tests highlight that while armor may prevent penetration, extreme energy transfer can still be lethal.

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of RMA Body Armor's Level IV plate. The plate successfully stopped 11 rounds of 308 Winchester, 147-grain ammunition, with no penetration into the ballistic gel behind it. The testing suggests the armor is robust and capable of handling significant threats.

This video provides an expert-level review and ballistic testing of the Midwest Armor Guardian IV Stand Alone Level IV Rifle Plate by Mrgunsngear. The plate is subjected to a variety of handgun and rifle calibers, including high-velocity rounds, demonstrating its protective capabilities and durability. The testing confirms the plate's ability to stop threats with minimal backface deformation, even after multiple impacts, highlighting its suitability for tactical applications.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test of the Zahal Robo Vest armor system against a Dragunov Sniper Rifle firing 7.62mm armor-piercing rounds. The test confirms the vest's effectiveness, with the Level IV plate successfully stopping the projectile without penetration. The demonstration highlights the importance of proper armor configuration for high-threat scenarios.
