This video provides an expert-level comparison of AR500 steel armor versus ceramic armor when subjected to M855A1 and M855 ammunition. The test, conducted by InRangeTV, demonstrates that AR500 steel, despite its reputation for multi-hit capability, was penetrated by M855A1, while a previously tested ceramic plate had stopped this round. Standard M855 rounds caused significant damage to the AR500 plate's coating but did not fully penetrate the steel.

This video demonstrates a practical test of Green Tip M855 5.56x45mm ammunition against Armored Republic Level 3+ A2 steel body armor.
