We shoot all of AR500 Armor’s threat protection level plates with 9mm through 30.06 armor piercing rounds. By the end you’ll know if it meets your specific end-use for body armor.

Here specifically, you’ll learn...

Some important body armor terms and what it means to be NIJ certified for a specific threat level.

We’ll cover Level 3A soft armor and what it can stop. Then move up to Level 3 steel plates.

We continue with more of AR500 Armor’s offerings with their Level 3+, lightweight versions, and even their ceramic composite Level 4 plates.

Next, we dive into the different cuts that balance protection area and mobility. Such as the shooters cut and advanced shooters cut (aka swimmer’s cut).

Not sure what size you need or how to wear your armor plates? We cover that too.

Moving on, we go over why you should go with a curved plate that also has extra Paxcon coating. Short answer: comfort and to protect yourself from spalling.

Finally...we shoot up all the plates with a variety of bullet calibers, from 9mm through .357 Magnum for the soft armor. And .308 ball through a couple varieties of 5.56 such as M193 and M855 Penetrator rounds for the AR500 steel plattes.

Plus the M2AP (armor piercing) 30.06 black tip.

Lastly, we go over a couple of AR500 Armor’s top plate carrier choices like the Invictus, Testudo, Veritas, Micro, and Freeman.
