This video tests a $35 Amazon weighted workout plate as a makeshift body armor solution. The plate, weighing 7.75 lbs, was subjected to various handgun and rifle calibers. While it successfully stopped numerous handgun rounds and even some rifle calibers like the .45-70 Government, it was penetrated by 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm rounds. The instructor notes its limitations, including potential backface deformation and the presence of exercise-specific holes, but acknowledges its surprising effectiveness for its low cost.
