RTS Tactical Active Shooter Kit w/ Level IV Ceramic Body Armor Test

This video provides a comparative analysis of Level IV ceramic body armor versus Level III steel body armor, focusing on their effectiveness against common rifle and handgun threats in a SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) scenario. The presenter demonstrates the penetration capabilities of M193 and M855 5.56x45mm NATO rounds, as well as a powerful .460 S&W Magnum load, against both armor types. The key takeaway is that Level IV ceramic armor offers superior protection against a wider range of threats, particularly M193, which can defeat Level III steel plates.

This video details a rigorous testing protocol for RTS Tactical's Level IV ceramic composite armor plate, comparing it against their Level III+ steel armor. The ceramic plate successfully stopped multiple rifle rounds including 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester, and four .30-06 Springfield rounds before failing on the fifth .30-06 shot, demonstrating significant deformation but no penetration on the initial impacts. The test highlights the trade-offs between ceramic (lighter, more deformation) and steel (heavier, less deformation, potential fragmentation) armor systems.
