This video tests a Chinese-made OEM Level 4 ballistic plate sourced directly from a manufacturer. The plate, composed of alumina ceramic and high-density polyethylene, was subjected to .223/5.56, 7.62x39mm, and .308 Winchester rounds. While it stopped all projectiles with minimal penetration, significant backface deformation was observed, particularly with the .308. The plate's construction, featuring aramid fibers to contain ceramic fragmentation, is highlighted as a positive attribute for retaining ballistic capability after multiple hits.
