Frequently Asked Questions

Did the cheap Temu body armor stop bullets?

Yes, the Temu soft armor and hard plates successfully stopped .22 LR, 12 gauge buckshot, and .44 Magnum rounds. However, helmets and 'bulletproof' shoes failed even against .22 LR.

What were the main issues with the Temu body armor?

While the armor stopped projectiles, it exhibited extreme backface deformation after impacts, particularly from 12 gauge buckshot. This suggests a high risk of severe blunt force trauma to the wearer.

How did the Olight Osight optic perform?

The Olight Osight red dot optic was tested on a Canik Meta MC9L pistol and performed effectively, allowing the shooter to hit steel targets at 100 yards. Features include motion sensing and magnetic charging.

Were the Temu steel targets reliable?

No, the Temu steel targets, claimed to be AR500, failed testing. They showed significant cratering and penetration from 9mm and .308 Winchester rounds, indicating they were likely made of mild steel.
