This video demonstrates a point-blank 9mm ballistic test on a Level 3A body armor vest using ballistic clay to measure backface deformation. The test, conducted by 704 Tactical, highlights that while the vest stopped the round, the significant indentation in the clay indicates a potentially lethal impact to internal organs in a real-world scenario. The expert reviewer emphasizes the importance of understanding backface deformation beyond just round penetration.
