Can SOFT Armor Stop 9mm Out Of a RIFLE (penetration test) #civtac #gun #tactical

This video tests the durability of a cheap Amazon Level 3A body armor plate against repeated 9mm impacts, comparing it to a soft Level 3A vest. The hard plate, surprisingly, withstood 75 rounds before failure, while the soft vest also showed signs of significant degradation after the same number of impacts. The test highlights the limitations and potential failure points of budget body armor.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test of a SecDefense USA Level IIIA Bulletproof Mask using a watermelon as a target. The mask is tested against various calibers, including .22LR, 9mm, .357 Magnum, and 5.56 NATO. While it stops handgun rounds, the 5.56 NATO rifle round penetrates as expected for Level IIIA soft armor. The testing is conducted in a casual, experimental, and informative tone by an enthusiast reviewer.

This YouTube Short explores the ballistic resistance of Kevlar by testing 10 layers against a 9mm round. The video aims to answer whether Kevlar is suitable for rifle-rated armor and how many layers are needed to stop such projectiles. It highlights Kevlar's effectiveness for Level IIIA soft armor while questioning its use against rifle threats. A link to the full video and the company's product page for both soft and hard armor is provided.

This video introduces Predator Armor's new Level IIIA soft body armor. Constructed from aramid fibers, it is designed to stop common handgun calibers including 9mm, .357, and 44 Magnum. The armor is highlighted as being lightweight, flexible, and comfortable, making it a suitable option for discreet wear and personal protection. A link to purchase the product is provided.

This video from Civilian Tactical tests a $35 HWIN branded body armor plate from Temu against multiple calibers. The hosts, demonstrating safe range procedures and firearm knowledge, were surprised by the results, as the budget armor successfully stopped .22 LR, 9mm, and .357 Magnum rounds, though the latter caused significant surface damage.

This YouTube video, titled 'Testing Process of Body Armor | HESCO Manufacturing,' focuses on the manufacturing and testing procedures for body armor produced by HESCO. While the specific type of armor or any firearms used in testing are not detailed in the provided description, the core content revolves around the rigorous evaluation of protective gear, likely for tactical or law enforcement applications. The video aims to showcase the quality and reliability of HESCO's body armor through their internal testing processes.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
