Predator Armor's Level 3 plate stops six rounds of 7.62x51mm M80 at 2780 ft/s, while their Level 3+ plate is engineered for higher velocity threats like 5.56mm M193 and 855 rounds exceeding 3000 ft/s, and even 300 Win Mag to a good extent. The video stresses that 'plus' offerings vary significantly between manufacturers.
