This video emphasizes the critical importance of spall liners in body armor, particularly when using steel plates. Clint Morgan explains that while steel plates don't have a shelf life, they can create dangerous fragmentation upon impact. A spall liner is essential for catching these metal fragments, preventing severe injuries like bleeding in the neck and groin.

This video demonstrates a practical test comparing steel and ceramic/composite body armor, focusing on the critical role of a spall liner. The presenter shoots both types of plates wrapped in shirts with various calibers to illustrate the fragmentation and spall generated by steel plates, highlighting how a spall liner mitigates these dangerous projectiles. The test reveals significant differences in how each armor type handles impact energy and material shedding.

This video discusses steel body armor and its primary drawback, spall and fragmentation. It presents Kevlar as the solution, explaining how it's used to wrap steel plates to effectively catch and contain spall, thereby enhancing safety.

This video tests an affordable Level 3 ballistic armor plate from LA Police Gear. The plate, constructed from ceramic, alumina, and PE fibers with a spall liner, successfully stops multiple rifle calibers including 5.56 green tip, .308 FMJ, and 7.62x39 FMJ. While it penetrates with a 50 BMG armor-piercing incendiary round, the plate holds together remarkably well, demonstrating impressive durability for its price point of approximately $115.

This video provides a comprehensive test of Premier Body Armor's Fortis Level 3 steel body armor plate, including its proprietary steel construction and integrated Kevlar spall liner. The presenter demonstrates the plate's performance against various calibers (.223/5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester) at close range, emphasizing its ability to stop rounds and mitigate spalling. The video also highlights the effectiveness of the separate spall liner as an upgrade for existing steel plates.
