$35 Temu Body Armor (tested) *SHOCKING RESULTS*

This video demonstrates a practical test of Level 3 body armor from Lethal & Legal, showcasing its effectiveness against a variety of handgun and rifle calibers, including 9mm, .38 Special, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, and 12 Gauge buckshot. The host, GHG Hussle, an experienced firearms influencer, highlights the importance of armor ratings and real-world performance, noting significant wear on the vest material during high-powered rifle tests but plate integrity.

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 ballistic resistance of a Stretch Armstrong toy against various calibers, from .22 LR to 7.62x39mm fired from an AK-47. The experiment demonstrates that while the toy can stop smaller rounds like .22 LR and .380 ACP, it fails to contain larger calibers such as 9mm, .45 ACP, and notably, the .223 Remington and 7.62x39mm, which completely penetrate and destroy the toy. The results highlight the significant differences in projectile energy and penetration capabilities across different firearm calibers.

This video tests the ballistic performance and backface deformation of inexpensive body armor, likely sourced from China. While it demonstrates surprising resistance to various pistol calibers and even some rifle rounds, significant backface deformation is a major concern for personal protection. The presenter advises against using it as primary body armor but suggests potential non-wearable applications.

This video reviews Guard Dog Body Armor Level IV plates, detailing their technical specifications, construction, and performance. The instructor highlights the plates' NIJ Level 4 rating, ability to stop 7.62 AP rounds, and multi-hit capability due to their ceramic tile design. The review also covers the UHMWPE backing, spall guarding, trauma padding, and the importance of proper plate placement.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Premier Body Armor Level 4 plate against various calibers, including 9mm, 45-70 Government, 223 Remington, 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip), 7.62x39mm, 308 Winchester, and the 375 H&H Magnum. The plate demonstrated impressive performance, stopping all tested rounds without significant penetration, even the 375 H&H Magnum, despite being heavily compromised by previous impacts. The presenter highlights the plate's lightweight design and its ability to minimize spalling and deformation.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
