ARMOR FOR $10 - will it stop a bullet ?

This video tests the ballistic resistance of the RTS Tactical Hero Level 3 Concealable Vest and the Special Threats Mini Shield against various firearms. The concealable vest successfully stopped pistol calibers and shotgun rounds but was penetrated by rifle rounds like 5.56 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm. The Mini Shield, however, demonstrated superior performance, stopping all tested rifle calibers including .308 Winchester, and remained effective even when integrated into a backpack carrier.

This video tests a white soft body armor vest against various calibers, including .22, 9mm, .45 ACP, 12-gauge buckshot, and a 12-gauge slug. While the vest successfully stopped all tested rounds from penetrating completely, the 12-gauge slug caused significant damage, tearing the back of the vest and knocking the mannequin's head off. The test demonstrates the vest's capability against common handgun rounds and buckshot, but highlights limitations against powerful shotgun slugs.

This ballistic test evaluates a military-grade face shield against various calibers. While it stopped .22, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds with varying degrees of damage, it failed to stop a .44 Magnum, .223 rifle round, and a 12 Gauge slug, all of which penetrated the shield and a ballistic mannequin. The test highlights the limitations of face shields against higher-powered firearms.

This YouTube video from Predator Armor tests the ballistic resistance of their Level III body armor against the powerful .45-70 caliber round. The description highlights the growing popularity of the .45-70 and addresses frequent customer inquiries about its penetration capabilities. The video aims to definitively answer whether their Level III plates can stop this rifle cartridge, with the "spoiler alert" indicating a positive outcome for Predator Armor's product.

This video review focuses on the new RMA RF2 armor plate, which is designed to stop the 6.8x51mm round. The reviewer highlights the armor's lighter and thinner profile compared to previous models. The video promises to test the armor's capabilities, pushing it beyond its rated specifications. It also includes references to MAC's social media channels, Patreon, and other platforms for continued support and content.

This video tests two $30 Temu body armor plates against multiple calibers, from .380 Auto up to .454 Casull. Both the soft panel and hard plate successfully stopped all tested rounds, though the soft armor showed significant damage and delamination, especially from higher-powered rounds. The .454 Casull caused extreme backface deformation on the soft armor but did not penetrate.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
