AR500 Armor UHMWPE Level III 3.3lb Armor Plate Test & Review
This review of AR500 Armor's UHMWPE Level III plates highlights their significant weight advantage over ceramic options, weighing only 3.3 lbs each. The plates are NIJ certified and demonstrated effectiveness against standard rifle rounds like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm M193, while correctly noting their limitation against M855 and AP rounds. The multi-hit capability was also tested, showing resilience until rounds were concentrated in a small area.
