How Strong Is Modern Russian Military Armor?

This video features a comparison of an AK-47 rifle engaging a Level III ballistic plate manufactured by UARM. The description provides a direct link to the UARM SA3U Level III UHMWPE plate, indicating a focus on the performance of this specific armor against a common rifle caliber. The content likely demonstrates the penetration capabilities (or lack thereof) of the AK-47 round against the UARM plate.

This review critiques the M7 rifle and the 6.8x51mm cartridge, arguing against their adoption based on flawed doctrine. The author suggests modern tactical challenges like extended range engagements and defeating advanced body armor are better addressed by alternative solutions like one-way attack drones, rather than simply increasing rifle caliber and weight.

This video features a test to see if Predator Armor Level III+ body armor can withstand a .50 BMG round. The description highlights this as a common question from viewers and aims to provide a definitive answer by shooting the armor with the powerful .50 caliber round. The video also directs viewers to the Predator Armor website for purchasing body armor.

This video features a "Battle" between the AK-47 and AK-74 platforms, likely a comparison or demonstration of their capabilities. Given the inclusion of "#civtac", "#gun", "#demolitionranch", and "#fullautofriday", it's highly probable that this content showcases the firearms in action, potentially with significant ammunition usage and possibly even body armor. The title explicitly states a comparison between two iconic AK variants.

This video tests the effectiveness of Firequest 12 Gauge Double Slugs against Safe Life Defense body armor. The test involved shooting a water bucket with a single slug to demonstrate kinetic energy and then the double slug at the armor. The Safe Life Defense armor successfully stopped both slugs, with one appearing to ram into the other, indicating robust performance against this specific ammunition type.

This video features a "mag dump" of an Extar EP9 onto a Bulletsafe VP3 soft body armor vest. The content creator is testing the durability and effectiveness of the body armor against sustained gunfire. The description encourages viewers to comment on how the vest performed and provides discount codes for Bulletsafe products. It also links to various playlists on the channel, including handgun reviews, long gun reviews, Second Amendment content, gear reviews, and range tests, along with social media links.

This video demonstrates the proper technique for loading the M1 Garand to prevent 'Garand Thumb'. It emphasizes maintaining downward pressure on the top round to control the bolt's cycling. The content debunks the idea that 'Garand Thumb' is inevitable, attributing it to inexperience and improper handling.

The Altyn helmet, a Russian titanium model, is tested for its ballistic capabilities. While effective against 9mm NATO and 00 buckshot, it fails to stop rifle rounds like 5.56x45mm and .308 Winchester. The visor cracks under birdshot impact. Despite its historical reputation, its extreme weight and lack of rifle protection make it outdated compared to modern composite helmets.

This ballistic test by Garand Thumb reveals that NIJ Level 3A rated ballistic masks, while stopping some projectiles, fail to adequately protect the wearer due to extreme backface deformation. Hits from a .44 Magnum caused fatal deformation, and rifle rounds completely penetrated. The conclusion is that these masks are largely ineffective and potentially dangerous, recommending helmets and proper training instead.

This video delves into the notorious 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon, explaining its mechanics and pain level through direct testing. It covers the M1 Garand's history, technical specifications, and proper loading techniques to avoid injury, including the 'bladed hand' method. The content also features novice testing and concludes with advice on training and firearm ownership.
