This video details a comprehensive ballistic testing of the Premier Body Armor Fortis Level III+ GT plate, a NIJ RF2 rated armor designed as a lightweight alternative to Level IV plates. The testing involves multiple rifle caliber threats at close range (25 feet) and extended distances (100 yards), evaluating penetration and back face deformation. The plate demonstrates impressive performance against common threats like 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm, while also showing its limitations against higher-level threats at longer ranges as expected.

This video investigates the common belief that gas-operated firearms lose velocity compared to bolt-action firearms due to gas diversion. The experiment uses a Tikka T1X MTR, first with the gas system engaged and then with it disabled, firing standard M80 ball ammunition. Results indicate a slight velocity increase and a significant reduction in extreme spread and standard deviation when the gas system is turned off, suggesting a potential impact on both velocity and shot consistency.

This video provides an in-depth look at the manufacturing and testing processes for composite body armor, specifically focusing on Hesco plates. It details the multi-step production from raw materials to finished product, including the use of polyethylene and ceramic components. The video also extensively covers NIJ certification standards, ballistic testing methodologies, and the importance of rigorous quality control to ensure reliable protection.

This video provides an expert assessment of the FN SCAR-17's reliability as a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR). Lucas Botkin, drawing on over 6,000 rounds of experience, highlights the SCAR-17's consistent performance, contrasting it with other large-frame .308 gas-operated systems that have exhibited more frequent malfunctions. The review emphasizes practical application and real-world performance over theoretical precision.

This video demonstrates a live-fire test of the Filipino-made Government Arsenal 16" DMR at 500 meters. Colonel Harold Cabunoc, a former Army Colonel and Scout Ranger, showcases the rifle's capability with standard M80 Ball ammunition, achieving a 50% hit rate on both a 36x36 inch plate and a 16x20 inch man-sized target. The discussion highlights the importance of local defense manufacturing and the cost-effectiveness of the DMR compared to imported alternatives.
