This video details a ballistic test of Spartan AR500 Level III body armor, worn in a Condor plate carrier. The test involved multiple calibers, including 115-grain 9mm, 123-grain 7.62x39mm, 55-grain 5.56x45mm, and 30-06 Springfield rounds. The armor demonstrated good containment of spall and fragmentation, with minimal damage to the plate carrier itself, though the spall guard showed cracking under heavy fire from larger calibers.
