50cal vs AR500 STEEL ARMOR PLATE
This video tests the ballistic resistance of RTS Tactical AR500 steel armor plates against various calibers, culminating in a .50 BMG round. Handgun rounds and intermediate rifle calibers like 5.56mm and 7.62x51mm failed to penetrate, causing only minor surface deformation. However, a .50 BMG APIT round easily penetrated two stacked plates and a cinder block, demonstrating the limits of Level III+ armor against heavy machine gun rounds.
