Duration: 14:20

This video rigorously tests a Level 3 Lethal & Legal body armor plate against various handgun and rifle calibers, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56x45mm, and 7.62x39mm. The armor successfully stops all tested rounds, though significant backface deformation and tearing of the outer vest material are observed with higher-powered rifle rounds. The test concludes with a successful 100-yard rifle challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of body armor was tested in the GHG Hussle video?

The video specifically tests a Level 3 hard armor plate from Lethal & Legal. This rating is generally understood to stop rifle rounds like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm, in addition to handgun threats.

Did the bulletproof vest stop all the tested rounds?

Yes, the Level 3 Lethal & Legal armor plate successfully stopped all tested rounds, including 9mm, .38 Special, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 5.56x45mm, and 7.62x39mm projectiles.

What were the results of the rifle caliber tests on the body armor?

The Level 3 armor plate effectively stopped both 5.56x45mm rounds and 7.62x39mm rounds from a Draco pistol and an AK-47. However, the outer vest material showed significant tearing from the rifle impacts.

What is backface deformation in body armor testing?

Backface deformation is the measurement of how much the armor plate indents inward upon impact. Significant deformation, as seen on the dummy after the AK-47 mag dump, indicates substantial blunt force trauma potential.
