Level IV Armor vs UNRATED THREATS!

Published on October 27, 2021
Duration: 12:27

This video rigorously tests RMA Armament's Level IV 1155MC body armor against threats exceeding standard NIJ protocols, including 30-06 M2 AP, M855A1, high-velocity 30-06 Accelerator, and .338 Lapua Magnum. While the plate demonstrates impressive resistance, extreme impacts like the .338 Lapua cause significant deformation, and full-auto fire on a compromised plate eventually leads to penetration. The testing highlights the plate's capability to stop multiple high-energy threats but also shows its limitations under extreme duress.

Quick Summary

The RMA Armament Level IV 1155MC plate successfully stopped multiple high-threat rounds including 30-06 M2 AP, M855A1, and even a .338 Lapua Magnum, though extreme impacts caused significant deformation. After compromise, full-auto 7.62x39mm eventually penetrated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What threats did the RMA Armament Level IV 1155MC armor face in the test?

The RMA 1155MC Level IV armor was tested against 30-06 M2 AP rounds, 62gr M855A1 5.56mm rounds, high-velocity Remington Accelerator 30-06 ammo (nearly 3900 FPS), and a .338 Lapua Magnum round. It also underwent a full-auto 7.62x39mm dump after being compromised.

How did the RMA Level IV 1155MC plate perform against the .338 Lapua Magnum?

The RMA 1155MC plate successfully stopped a 250gr .338 Lapua Magnum round fired from a Desert Tech rifle. While the impact caused extreme deformation, the plate held the projectile, demonstrating significant resistance to very high-energy threats.

Can RMA Level IV armor stop multiple hits?

The RMA Level IV 1155MC plate demonstrated multi-hit capability against several threats, including multiple 30-06 M2 AP and M855A1 rounds. However, after sustaining extreme impacts and damage, a full-auto dump of 7.62x39mm eventually penetrated near previous impact sites.

What is the RMA 1155MC Level IV plate's NIJ rating and key specifications?

The RMA 1155MC plate is NIJ Level IV (0101.06) compliant. It measures 10x12 inches, weighs 8.2 lbs, is made of monolithic ceramic/polyethylene, and comes with a 10-year warranty.
