This video analyzes Predator Armor's Level III UHMWPE body armor. The description highlights its lightweight design, weighing just over 3 pounds, and its rifle-rated protection. Made from ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) in the USA, it offers a thinner profile (0.8") than competitors and boasts buoyancy. Key features include resistance to spalling and fragmentation, and a polyurea coating for elemental protection against water and UV light. The armor is designed for comfort and mobility.

This video tests the durability of Shot Stop's D1652PCS Level III+ UHMWPE armor plate against an "EXPLOSION Shot." The experiment involves exposing the armor to significant force to determine its protective capabilities after such an event. The video also includes links to submit comments on proposed rules regarding frames and receivers, and braces, and encourages viewers to call senators to oppose a specific nomination. Additional links are provided for related content, including an M855A1 long-range test and visits to TNVC, Winchester, and Magpul.

This video debunks common myths about RMA Body Armor by subjecting a Level IIIA polyethylene plate to extreme testing. Eddie from Brownells submerges the armor in a pond for a week, then blast it with a high-pressure fire hose. Finally, the plate is tested with Federal American Eagle XM193 5.56x45mm NATO rounds at close range. The video demonstrates that the RMA armor remains intact under these conditions, emphasizing its durability against water submersion and ballistic threats. The only failure occurred when fire was concentrated on a single spot, independent of water exposure. The video concludes with a score of 3-0 in favor of RMA armor against online 'keyboard jockeys' and asks viewers for future test suggestions.

This review tests the $99 Battle Steel Level IV composite armor plate, made of ceramic and polyethylene. Despite not being NIJ certified, it successfully stops .30-06 AP, 7.62x51 NATO, 7.62x39, and high-velocity 5.56 M193 rounds. A 12-gauge buckshot torture test also showed no penetration, though the plate eventually failed after a 25-round 5.56 M193 rapid-fire string, demonstrating impressive durability for its price point.
