This AR500 Armor test demonstrates the effectiveness of Level III steel plates against various handgun and rifle threats, including .30-06 AP and 5.56 M855. The proprietary Line-X anti-spalling coating successfully contains fragments, though it shows signs of delamination after extreme punishment. While the steel core remains intact, the test highlights that body armor offers a second chance, not invincibility, emphasizing the continued importance of tactics and situational awareness.

This video tests an AR500 Armor steel plate against rifle rounds, including 5.56mm and 7.62x51mm. The plate, coated with Line-X for spall containment, successfully stopped initial rounds. However, after multiple concentrated hits in the same area, the steel failed, resulting in a plug being punched through.

This AR500 Armor ballistic plate test evaluates the effectiveness of Line-X coating against fragmentation. Standard enamel plates showed significant spalling with calibers like 7.62x39 and .308. The Line-X coating demonstrated superior containment, trapping splatter and directing fragments away from the wearer, significantly reducing secondary injury risks.
