A Spall Liner Will Save Your LIFE! Steel vs Ceramic Body Armor Feat. RTS Tactical

The video explains the decision to stop reviewing steel body armor due to the increasing affordability and performance of composite and ceramic alternatives. The speaker highlights that while steel armor stops impacts, it suffers from spalling and is heavy. Modern ceramic Level IV plates, often bundled with carriers and accessories for under $500, offer superior performance, lighter weight, and eliminate spalling concerns, making steel armor technologically obsolete for most users.

This video provides a comprehensive test of Premier Body Armor's Fortis Level 3 steel body armor plate, including its proprietary steel construction and integrated Kevlar spall liner. The presenter demonstrates the plate's performance against various calibers (.223/5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester) at close range, emphasizing its ability to stop rounds and mitigate spalling. The video also highlights the effectiveness of the separate spall liner as an upgrade for existing steel plates.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of spall liners in body armor, particularly when using steel plates. Clint Morgan explains that while steel plates don't have a shelf life, they can create dangerous fragmentation upon impact. A spall liner is essential for catching these metal fragments, preventing severe injuries like bleeding in the neck and groin.

This video demonstrates a practical test of Green Tip M855 5.56x45mm ammunition against Armored Republic Level 3+ A2 steel body armor.
