Shooting a Chinese ballistic plate

This video explores an unconventional approach to DIY body armor by testing the ballistic resistance of homemade plates constructed from ceramic knives. The creators were surprised by the effectiveness of this unusual material in stopping rifle rounds. The video showcases a creative and experimental project, highlighting the surprising capabilities of readily available items when repurposed for ballistic protection.

This ballistic test evaluates RMA Armament's Level III+ body armor against challenging threats like M855A1, 7.62x54R, and .30-06 M2 AP rounds. While the plate stops standard M855 and 7.62x39, it is penetrated by M855A1 at close range. Extreme backface deformation occurs with 7.62x54R at 100 yards, and .30-06 AP easily defeats the armor at all tested distances. Standoff distance significantly impacts performance, with M855A1 being stopped at 200 yards.

This video provides an overview of Predator Armor's Level IV Body Armor plates. Manufactured in the USA, these plates feature a ceramic strike face and a Kevlar pressed backer for robust protection. The description highlights key features and the manufacturing process, emphasizing quality and reliability. The video encourages viewers to visit their website for more details and exclusive content, and to subscribe for further information on manufacturing and personal protective equipment.

This video features an RMA Armament #1165 Lightweight Level IV armor plate undergoing a range test. The content aims to demonstrate the plate's capabilities and limitations against various threats. The description also includes promotional links for apparel and other resources from the channel owner, Mrgunsngear.

This YouTube Shorts video from Predator Armor showcases their Level IV Body Armor, highlighting its U.S. manufacturing and advanced protection capabilities. The armor features a ceramic strike face with a kevlar backer, designed to stop armor-piercing rounds like the .30-06 AP round while limiting backface deformation. The description links to the product page for further details.

This video showcases the hexagonal ceramic strike face of a ballistic plate, highlighting its damage localization properties. The hexagonal alumina tiles shatter only at the point of impact, preserving the plate's integrity for potential multi-hit scenarios. The construction involves a yellow aramid/Kevlar backing layer behind the ceramic.

This video demonstrates the fundamental safety mechanism of a hand grenade, specifically the T G-67 M-SOFT model. It highlights that the grenade remains safe as long as the safety lever (spoon) is held down. Pulling the pin initiates the delay fuse, but detonation is prevented until the spoon is released, emphasizing the importance of maintaining grip for safety.

This video demonstrates the proper application of a DINPRO CAT-style tourniquet for severe leg wounds. It highlights the 'high and tight' placement above the injury and the critical step of tightening the windlass until bleeding stops, emphasizing that while painful, this is essential for saving a life. The presenter, Ziga from Polenar Tactical, showcases expert-level knowledge in trauma care.

This video demonstrates the TAG 18 Smoke White grenade, highlighting its operation similar to a hand grenade but using pyrotechnic powder for smoke. The activation process involves pulling a pin and releasing a spoon to ignite the powder, producing a thick white smoke cloud for concealment or signaling. The demonstration emphasizes safe handling and deployment.

This video demonstrates the FBG-6 Flash Bang 2.0, clarifying that real flashbangs disorient rather than produce movie-like blinding flashes. It highlights the 2-second delay mechanism and the importance of holding the safety lever. An accidental detonation on the range floor showcases its acoustic and pressure effects.
