DON'T BUY AR500 ARMOR!
This video critically reviews AR500 steel body armor, highlighting its affordability and durability but warning against its lack of NIJ certification and potential for spalling and backface deformation. While it stops many rounds, it's heavier and can be less effective against high-velocity threats compared to ceramic alternatives. The presenter recommends Hesco L210 special threat plates as a superior, albeit more expensive, option.
