Spoiler: It's armor. You don't really have to watch the video. I got some plates from The Target Man / Spartan Armor systems and I want to know what you think I should shoot it with. This plate is a brand new product from them and I have only seen one video on YouTube testing this particular plate (same guy did two videos, but one was just pistol ammo). Lots of tests of their earlier products, of course, but not much for this one so I want to hear what you want to see. They call it a "level 3+" plate. Now, level III is a NIJ rating and typically a "III+" plate from another manufacturer would be a level III plate that has been independently certified to meet that standard and additionally protect against special threats. My personal opinion is that the base level that a plate should meet to be considered III+ is that it stops M193 from at least a 16" barrel at close range so I will probably shoot it with M193 from a 20" barrel. Based on the testing that you've seen from myself and The Wound Channel, what else do you think I should use to test it? Bear in mind that there really isn't any question that it will do fine against lesser threats like pistol or 7.62x39mm.
Here is the listing for that plate on their website: clicky
