This video details a test to determine if off-the-shelf 12 gauge shotgun ammunition can perforate Level IIIA soft body armor, inspired by a scene in John Wick. The test involved firing a 300-grain Sabo slug at a Spartan Armor Systems Level IIIA panel backed by ballistic gel. The results indicated that while significant backface deformation occurred, the slug did not fully penetrate the armor, suggesting soft armor can reliably stop common 12 gauge slugs.
