Testing Premier Body Armor Everyday T-Shirt Body Armor

This video tests the ballistic resistance of the Tardigrade Industries Maxilla face mask against various calibers. The mask, rated to Level IIIA, successfully stopped .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds with minimal damage. While not rated for .223 Remington, it also stopped this round, though it resulted in a visible dent on both sides.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of the new Premier Body Armor Fortis helmet, specifically the second-generation model. The instructor demonstrates its protection against various handgun calibers, including 9mm, 10mm, .44 Magnum, .50 AE, and the powerful .500 S&W Magnum, as well as a 12-gauge slug. The helmet is shown to stop all tested projectiles, with varying degrees of backface deformation.

This video demonstrates a multi-pronged durability test on Premier Body Armor, including ballistic impacts from 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds, and exposure to a flamethrower. The tests also involve a simulated target (watermelon) to assess damage. The reviewer, with a hobbyist authority level, provides an entertaining yet informative look at the armor's resilience beyond advertised capabilities.

This guide details a test of the Premier Body Armor Armored T-shirt against 12-gauge shotgun rounds. The test, conducted by Johnny Q, demonstrates the shirt's Level IIIA protection, showing that while the outer fabric may sustain damage, the armor panel prevents penetration. This highlights the importance of ballistic protection in tactical gear.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of bulletproof backpacks and armor plates, featuring demonstrations by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The testing covers Level IIIA and Level III armor ratings against a variety of threats, from common handgun rounds to powerful rifle calibers and even extreme 4-bore projectiles. The analysis highlights the effectiveness of the armor while also emphasizing the critical concept of backface deformation and its potential to cause severe internal injuries, even when the projectile is stopped.

This is Part 2 of a video series exploring homemade soft body armor. The creators previously tested fiberglass welding blankets, which didn't meet NIJ Level IIIA standards. In this installment, they investigate how many layers are required to stop 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds. While the DIY armor successfully stopped both calibers, the conclusion highlights its impracticality compared to professional-grade options.

This video from Instructor Mike critiques an off-duty officer's poor tactical choices while working a side job. Key takeaways include the dangers of wearing a hoodie that obstructs peripheral vision and the risks associated with using earbuds that diminish auditory awareness. Instructor Mike emphasizes the importance of maintaining situational awareness even when off-duty or in a secondary role.

This video demonstrates a traffic stop scenario involving Instructor Mike and a Chicago police officer. It highlights the importance of maintaining visible hands during an interaction and provides a practical example of how to communicate effectively with law enforcement. The officer issues a warning for a missing license plate, emphasizing the need for proper vehicle documentation.
