Shooting a Chinese ballistic plate

This video provides an in-depth review and ballistic test of the RMA Armament 1165MC Gen 2 NIJ Level IV body armor. The reviewer details the plate's specifications, including its thinness, high purity ceramic composition, multi-curve design, and lightweight construction. Multiple ballistic tests are conducted using various calibers (.30-06, 5.56x45mm, 9mm, .22LR) against a water jug target to assess penetration and backface deformation, demonstrating the armor's protective capabilities.

This video details a comprehensive ballistic testing of the Premier Body Armor Fortis Level III+ GT plate, a NIJ RF2 rated armor designed as a lightweight alternative to Level IV plates. The testing involves multiple rifle caliber threats at close range (25 feet) and extended distances (100 yards), evaluating penetration and back face deformation. The plate demonstrates impressive performance against common threats like 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm, while also showing its limitations against higher-level threats at longer ranges as expected.

This video provides a comprehensive test of Premier Body Armor's Fortis Level 3 steel body armor plate, including its proprietary steel construction and integrated Kevlar spall liner. The presenter demonstrates the plate's performance against various calibers (.223/5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester) at close range, emphasizing its ability to stop rounds and mitigate spalling. The video also highlights the effectiveness of the separate spall liner as an upgrade for existing steel plates.

This YouTube video's title, "When a Lv.4 Plate finally breaks," strongly suggests a focus on ballistic protection and its limits, likely involving firearms and body armor testing. The description provides links to training resources, a Patreon page, a Facebook group for discussion, and a gaming channel, indicating a creator with a broader online presence who engages with their audience on multiple platforms. The core content is expected to be a demonstration or test of a Level 4 ballistic plate's effectiveness under some form of impact.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of a budget-friendly Chinese ballistic plate, testing its NIJ Level IV Stand Alone capabilities against various rifle and handgun calibers. The hosts, experienced tactical gear reviewers, demonstrate the plate's surprising resilience, stopping rounds from a 7.62x39mm VZ rifle and a 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant, and showing significant resistance even after multiple impacts. The testing includes observing backface deformation using a clay block, highlighting the plate's performance relative to its $100 price point.

This video from Polenar Tactical showcases an extreme test of a Protection Group Denmark U-line ESAPI XL ballistic plate. The plate, rated NIJ Level 4 (0101.06) and designed to stop a .30-06 M2 AP round, is subjected to non-standard testing including drops, fire, and multiple high-impact rifle rounds. The demonstration highlights the plate's robust construction and protective capabilities beyond typical testing parameters, as assessed by experienced tactical gear reviewers.

This entry details the safe handling of the T G-67 M-SOFT training hand grenade, as demonstrated by Ziga from Polenar Tactical. It emphasizes the critical role of the safety pin and spoon mechanism in preventing accidental detonation. The M-SOFT variant is likely for airsoft or training purposes, highlighting the importance of understanding device types for safety.

This expert guide from Polenar Tactical demonstrates the critical technique for applying a CAT-style tourniquet to control severe limb hemorrhage. The instruction emphasizes correct placement ('high and tight') and windlass application to stop bleeding, acknowledging the necessary pain involved. The video highlights that despite discomfort, proper tourniquet use is a life-saving measure.

This guide details the operation of the TAG 18 Smoke White grenade, as demonstrated by Polenar Tactical. It covers the basic mechanical components and the activation process, emphasizing its use for concealment or signaling. The instruction comes from an experienced source, offering a practical look at this tactical accessory.

This guide details the operation of the FBG-6 Flash Bang 2.0, a pyrotechnic distraction device. It emphasizes the function of the safety lever and the 2.0-second delay. The demonstration highlights that real flashbangs disorient through sound and flash, not the extreme visual effects seen in media. Expert instruction from Polenar Tactical covers safe handling and deployment principles.
