This video tests budget Level IV body armor plates purchased from Temu. The testing involves multiple calibers, including 9mm, .22LR, 5.56mm (ball and green tip AP), and .458 SOCOM. The presenter evaluates the plates based on penetration, structural integrity, and backface deformation, ultimately concluding that while compromised, the budget plates offer a viable option for emergency preparedness on a budget.

This video conducts a rigorous ballistic test on affordable body armor panels, likely sourced from Temu. The instructor fires various handgun calibers, including .380 ACP, 9mm, .45 ACP, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 5.7x28mm, and .454 Casull, at both soft and hard armor plates. The tests demonstrate the armor's ability to stop multiple rounds from lower-powered handguns, with some deformation but no penetration on hard armor. However, higher-powered rounds like the .454 Casull cause significant deformation and penetration on soft armor, highlighting the limitations of the tested material.

This video tests the effectiveness of inexpensive polyethylene body armor plates purchased from Temu, advertised as NIJ Level 3A. The test involves engaging the plates with various calibers, including .22LR, 9mm, 7.62x39mm, and 5.56x45mm, to assess their ability to stop projectiles and the degree of backface deformation. The results show surprising resilience against pistol rounds, though rifle rounds eventually penetrate.

Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch conducts a skeptical and high-energy review of budget tactical gear purchased from Temu, including body armor, helmets, and shoes. He tests their ballistic resistance against various calibers (.22 LR, 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot, .44 Magnum) and assesses the quality of steel targets. The review highlights significant performance differences between cheap imported gear and established brands, emphasizing the importance of verified protection ratings.

This video tests the durability of a $25 Temu body armor vest against a 75-pound crossbow bolt. While the armor stopped the bolt, it penetrated approximately two-thirds of the way through, indicating it is not arrow-proof despite being rated for 9mm and .223 rounds. The test highlights the limitations of budget body armor against different types of threats.

This video from Civilian Tactical demonstrates a test comparing a $25 Temu body armor plate against a Steambow AR-6 Stinger II repeating crossbow. The host, exhibiting high authority and an educational tone, shows the crossbow's operation and fires a bolt at the armor. The analysis reveals significant penetration, with the bolt embedding two-thirds of the way through, highlighting that 'bulletproof' does not equate to 'bolt-proof'.

This guide details the testing of a budget-priced body armor plate, evaluating its performance against various calibers from .22 LR up to 6.5 Creedmoor. The Civilian Tactical host, an established tactical gear reviewer, demonstrates the plate's capabilities and limitations, highlighting significant backface deformation even when rounds are stopped. The testing involves multiple firearms including Volquartsen, Zastava, Glock, and CMMG models.
