This review tests Liberty Civil Defense 9mm +P ammunition against NIJ Level IIIA body armor. The high-velocity, 50-grain copper hollow-point rounds successfully penetrated the armor from both a Sig Sauer P226 and a CZ Scorpion EVO3. A standard 9mm ball round failed to penetrate, confirming the armor's effectiveness against typical threats. The test suggests velocity is a key factor in defeating soft body armor.

This video tests the effectiveness of 9mm ammunition against Level IIIA body armor. While standard 9mm rounds, including high-velocity variants, are stopped by Spartan Armor Systems' Level IIIA panels, specialized 9mm armor-piercing (AP) ammunition from the 1980s easily penetrates the armor. The test utilized Clear Ballistics Gel to simulate tissue and demonstrate projectile performance.
