This video demonstrates a ballistic test comparing a Magnum Research Desert Eagle chambered in .50 AE against a Universal Armor plate. The test, conducted at an outdoor range, shows the .50 AE round impacting the armor. While the outer layer of the plate was penetrated, the internal ballistic layers successfully stopped the projectile, highlighting the effectiveness of the armor against this powerful handgun caliber.
This video from Polenar Tactical provides a comprehensive ballistic test of a Chinese-made Universal Armor Level 4 plate. The plate, featuring a ceramic strike face and polyethylene backing, was tested against 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x54R rounds at 20 meters. Despite significant backface deformation, particularly from the Mosin Nagant's 7.62x54R, the plate successfully stopped all six rounds without penetration, earning a recommendation as a budget-friendly option. The review highlights the importance of understanding NIJ testing protocols and potential manufacturing shortcuts.
