Videos tagged with Porcelain Tile Armor

This video demonstrates the construction of DIY body armor using readily available materials like porcelain tiles and fiberglass. Two primary designs are explored: a solid tile plate and a 'dragon scale' tile plate. The process involves cutting and layering tiles, bonding them with Liquid Nails, and reinforcing with fiberglass resin. The constructed plates are then subjected to ballistic testing with 9mm, .357 Magnum, and 5.56x45mm rounds to evaluate their effectiveness, with results indicating varying levels of protection.

This video details the construction and testing of two homemade body armor plates, demonstrating their performance against various calibers. The host, with high authority in gear testing, showcases the materials used, including steel, porcelain tiles, wood, and Kevlar, and their effectiveness against threats like .223 and 7.62x39mm rounds, while also highlighting failures against steel core and .308 ammunition. The thin profile and DIY nature of the armor are emphasized.
