This video from Polenar Tactical provides a comprehensive ballistic test of a Chinese-made Universal Armor Level 4 plate. The plate, featuring a ceramic strike face and polyethylene backing, was tested against 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x54R rounds at 20 meters. Despite significant backface deformation, particularly from the Mosin Nagant's 7.62x54R, the plate successfully stopped all six rounds without penetration, earning a recommendation as a budget-friendly option. The review highlights the importance of understanding NIJ testing protocols and potential manufacturing shortcuts.

This video provides a detailed test of the AR500 A3 Level III+ armor plates, including ballistic performance against green tip 5.56 and M80 ball .308 ammunition. The instructor highlights the plates' lightweight construction, polyethylene backing, alloy strike face, and frag lock coating, while also discussing their limitations such as price and shelf life. The testing demonstrates the plates' multi-hit capability under specific conditions and their performance near edges.
