RTS Tactical Level III Armor Test

This video details a test of body armor purchased from Wish.com, including a plate carrier and a claimed NIJ Level III ballistic steel plate. The presenter tests the plate's resilience against various handgun calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .45 ACP) and rifle rounds (5.56x45mm), as well as a 12-gauge slug. The results indicate the plate can stop common pistol rounds but fails against rifle fire and shotgun slugs, highlighting potential risks of using inexpensive, unverified body armor for life-saving purposes.

This video details a ballistic test of an RTS Tactical Level 4 ceramic plate, evaluating its performance against common rifle rounds including .223/5.56, 7.62x39, and .308/7.62x51 NATO.
