Colion Noir, a high-authority firearms commentator, tests Armored Cyber Glass on a Tesla Cybertruck. The glass, rated NIJ Level IIIA and only 15mm thick, successfully stops various threats including .277 Sig Fury, .308 Win, handgun rounds, and astonishingly, a .50 BMG round. The demonstration highlights the glass's 'return fire' capability and projectile capture technology, impressing Noir with its performance against extreme ballistic threats.

This video provides an expert-level review and ballistic test of the Premier Body Armor 'Everyday Armor' T-shirt, featuring the thin 'Phoenix' Level IIIA panel. The host, demonstrating high authority and a systematic testing methodology, evaluates the armor's performance against a wide range of handgun calibers, from .22 LR up to .500 S&W Magnum, as well as 12-gauge shotgun rounds and 5.7x28mm. The testing, conducted in Indiana, highlights the armor's ability to stop threats beyond its NIJ rating, while also noting potential for injury due to impact deformation.

This video demonstrates a rigorous test of ballistic protection, stacking two BulletSafe NIJ Level IIIA plates to see if they can withstand a .50 BMG sniper round. The experiment progresses through various calibers, including 9mm, .50 AE from a Desert Eagle, .223 and .308 from an FN SCAR, and a 12-gauge slug, before the final high-powered rifle test. The results provide valuable insight into the protective capabilities of layered armor against extreme threats.

This video provides an expert-level review and torture test of budget-friendly Amazon Level IIIA body armor plates from Bulletproof Armament. The host, an established tactical gear reviewer, systematically tests the plates against a range of handgun, shotgun, and magnum calibers, as well as a stab test. While the plates demonstrate effectiveness against lower-threat calibers and offer good value, they show limitations against higher-power threats compared to premium options.

This video features an energetic and inquisitive host from Civilian Tactical, demonstrating high expertise in firearm handling and ballistics. The host tests a Chinese ballistic face shield, allegedly rated up to .44 Magnum, against a variety of handgun calibers. The shield successfully stops rounds from birdshot up to .357 Magnum and 5.7x28mm, but ultimately fails against a .460 S&W Magnum round.

This video demonstrates the rapid deployment of the Zahal Masada Bulletproof Backpack, transforming it into a plate carrier in under 2 seconds. The demonstration includes a live-fire exercise showcasing its functionality during a handgun engagement. The presenter, identified as a tactical gear influencer, highlights the backpack's features and its suitability for civilian protection and first responders.

This YouTube video delves into the testing methodologies for body armor, specifically addressing why clay boxes are used in these evaluations. It highlights the importance of understanding NIJ Standards for consumers to make informed purchasing decisions. The video breaks down various NIJ Levels, including Level IIA, Level II, Level IIIA, Level III, and Level IV, and also touches upon the commonly offered Level III+ protection. The content aims to educate viewers about the capabilities and standards governing body armor.

This video reviews the Safe Life Hyperline, a thin and concealable soft body armor. The reviewer conducts ballistic testing against various calibers, including .22LR, 9mm, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and 12 gauge slugs. The armor demonstrates impressive performance, stopping all tested rounds without significant backface deformation, even with the thinner material. The reviewer notes its comfort and minimal bulk, making it suitable for covert wear, though it is positioned as a premium, more expensive option.

This video conducts a comparative ballistic test between a US Army IHPS (Integrated Head Protection System) helmet and a Chinese-made helmet, evaluating their performance against various calibers including .22 LR, 9mm, .44 Magnum, and 5.56x45mm rifle rounds at different distances. The testing focuses on penetration and backface deformation, crucial metrics for helmet survivability. The instructor notes that while helmets are not typically rated for rifle rounds, they can offer protection at longer ranges or oblique angles.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of an AliExpress ballistic helmet, highlighting critical flaws in its performance despite claims of NIJ Level IIIA certification. The instructor, Ziga, demonstrates significant backface deformation across various calibers, indicating a high risk of traumatic brain injury even when projectiles are stopped. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding deformation limits beyond just penetration resistance.
