Soft Body Armor VS 100 ROUNDS .22 LR (Will It Hold?) *test*

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a lightweight backpack armor insert against a 9mm round fired from a 16-inch barrel. The test demonstrates that while the armor stopped the projectile, the longer barrel did not significantly increase the 9mm's armor-piercing potential. The insert is identified as a 'República Blindada' product.

This video tests the penetration capability of the M855 'Green Tip' 5.56mm round against a steel body armor plate. The test demonstrates that while the M855 round has a steel core, it was unable to penetrate Level 3 Plus A2 steel plates from Armored Republic, which had previously withstood 9mm and .45 ACP rounds. The test also included a soda bottle behind the armor to check for fragmentation.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Soviet-era hammer against various calibers. While smaller rounds like .22 LR caused minimal damage, larger calibers like 9mm, 7.62x39mm, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester inflicted progressively more damage, with the .308 ultimately causing significant structural failure to the hammer's handle.

This video from 704 Tactical highlights a significant deal alert for Guard Dog Armor products, featuring an increased discount code from 10% to 20% off. The instructor reviews several key items including Level 3+ multicurve plates, ballistic helmets (FAST and MICH styles), and various levels of soft and hard body armor. He emphasizes the value and performance of these products, especially at the discounted prices, making them accessible for tactical preparedness.

This guide details a practical test of expired soft body armor, demonstrating its performance against handgun caliber rounds. Chief Instructor Ernie Medina of Tap Rack Bang, LLC, explains that while materials degrade, expired armor may still offer some protection, though it shouldn't be relied upon for primary duty use. The test highlights the importance of understanding ballistic warranties and material limitations.

This video tests the ability of 2-liter soda bottles filled with liquid to stop a 9mm projectile. Multiple bottles were stacked and shot to determine penetration depth. The experiment demonstrates that even multiple layers of liquid-filled containers are insufficient to reliably stop a 9mm round, with the projectile penetrating five layers and only deforming the sixth.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
