This video from Administrative Results provides an expert-level analysis of the dangers associated with steel body armor, specifically focusing on spalling and fragmentation. Through rigorous testing with a ballistic gel dummy and various firearms and calibers, the creator demonstrates how fragments can cause severe secondary injuries, potentially proving fatal. The high-authority content creator strongly recommends ceramic plates over steel for life-saving applications due to these risks.

Edwin Sarkissian, a high-profile firearms influencer, conducted an experimental test to determine the effectiveness of Level IIIA body armor against various firearms. The test involved a GlenDel deer target wearing K-9 armor, subjected to rounds from an Umarex Hammer .50 cal air rifle, multiple handguns (.22 LR, 9mm, .38 Super, 10mm, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum), a 5.7x28mm pistol, and a 5.56 NATO rifle. The results showed that while larger caliber handgun rounds and the air rifle were stopped, high-velocity 5.7x28mm rounds and 5.56 NATO rifle rounds successfully penetrated the armor.

This video reviews the RMA Armament Level IIIA handgun-rated armor plate, highlighting its lightweight, rigid, multi-curve design as an alternative to traditional soft body armor. The presenter demonstrates its effectiveness against various handgun calibers (.380 ACP, 9mm, 5.7x28mm, .45 ACP) using ballistic gel, emphasizing reduced backface deformation and maintained shape compared to soft armor. The plate is presented as a versatile option for backpacks, concealable vests, or passive defense.
