Dollar Tree Body Armor 2018

This video details the aftermath of testing homemade body armor constructed from Dollar Tree items. The creator demonstrates how various rounds, including .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, and .223 Remington, were stopped by the improvised armor. The analysis focuses on how the materials, particularly a glue mixture and books, contained the projectiles.

This video demonstrates a low-cost DIY method for creating rudimentary body armor using common materials: duct tape, a fiberglass welding blanket, and two ceramic tiles. The constructed armor was tested against 9mm, .223 Remington, and 5.56x45mm green tip ammunition. While it stopped 9mm and .223 rounds, it failed to stop the 5.56 green tip rounds, showing two clean exits.

This video demonstrates a DIY approach to creating improvised body armor using readily available materials. The presenter tests the effectiveness of ceramic tiles layered on a fiberglass welding blanket against rifle rounds, specifically a 5.56x45mm projectile from a Sentry Arms BFT 556. The test indicates that this homemade armor was capable of stopping the 5.56 round.

This video tests a $35 Amazon weighted workout plate as a makeshift body armor solution. The plate, weighing 7.75 lbs, was subjected to various handgun and rifle calibers. While it successfully stopped numerous handgun rounds and even some rifle calibers like the .45-70 Government, it was penetrated by 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm rounds. The instructor notes its limitations, including potential backface deformation and the presence of exercise-specific holes, but acknowledges its surprising effectiveness for its low cost.

This video demonstrates a DIY body armor build using materials exclusively from Dollar Tree, including a book, baking pan, decorative stones, glue, and duct tape. The creator tests its effectiveness against various handgun rounds (.22 LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, .38 Special) and a 5.56 rifle round. While it successfully stops all tested handgun calibers, it is ultimately defeated by the 5.56 round, highlighting its limitations for rifle threats.

This video details a budget challenge to create DIY body armor using various materials and budgets, followed by ballistics testing against different calibers. The experiment highlights the effectiveness of different materials and combinations in stopping projectiles, with the $100 pizza pan armor failing against a .50 caliber round, while a combined $0 and $100 armor setup proved effective.

This guide details the operation of the Trailblazer Firearms LifeCard, a unique single-shot .22 WMR pistol that folds to credit card dimensions. The video demonstrates loading, closing, cocking, and firing the firearm.
