This video demonstrates a low-cost DIY method for creating rudimentary body armor using common materials: duct tape, a fiberglass welding blanket, and two ceramic tiles. The constructed armor was tested against 9mm, .223 Remington, and 5.56x45mm green tip ammunition. While it stopped 9mm and .223 rounds, it failed to stop the 5.56 green tip rounds, showing two clean exits.

This video tests the ballistic performance and backface deformation of inexpensive body armor, likely sourced from China. While it demonstrates surprising resistance to various pistol calibers and even some rifle rounds, significant backface deformation is a major concern for personal protection. The presenter advises against using it as primary body armor but suggests potential non-wearable applications.

This video demonstrates a rigorous test of the Armored Republic C3 Body Armor against common rifle calibers, including .223, 5.56, 5.45x39mm, and .308 Winchester. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise, uses a specialized .308 rifle to push the armor's limits, focusing on penetration and backface deformation. The results show the C3 plate successfully stopping all tested rounds, highlighting its rifle-rated capabilities.

This video features Johnny Q demonstrating the Safe Life Defense Flexible Rifle Armor Plate (FRAP). He highlights its lightweight nature (3.97 lbs for a 10x12 plate) compared to traditional rigid plates (9-10 lbs) and emphasizes its high flexibility, allowing it to conform to the body. The FRAP is rated to stop rifle rounds up to .308 caliber, including common threats like 9mm, .223, 5.56, and 7.62.

This video demonstrates the failure of homemade rifle-rated body armor created by a viewer. The armor, constructed with materials like tinfoil, construction paper, pennies, and possibly ceramic, was tested against various handgun and rifle calibers. While it successfully stopped 9mm, 10mm, and 5.7x28mm rounds, it failed against common rifle rounds like .223 Remington, 7.62x39mm, .45-70 Government, and .30-30 Winchester, only stopping a .22 Long Rifle.
