  • In today's video, we will be testing Armored Republic's brand new C3 plate to see if it can actually handle what it's rated for (and maybe a bit more). Testing was setup at 50 yards using 2 brand new C3 plates set up in an AR Veritas Lite Plate Carrier (really surprised how well it held up) on Tear-y the torso. Thanks for watching!
    Testing - 2:09

  • @CatTechSupport
    @CatTechSupport Před 11 měsíci +1

    I would like to see companies stop using 30-06 black tip as the basis for armor testing.
    Projectiles, powders, and ammo options have improved so ultimately using 30-06 AP rounds as the basis is ultimately hindering advancement. It’s time to move up to harder hitting rounds like 338, 408, hell even 50 BMG as a basis to test armor.

    • @cjf-rw8vl
      @cjf-rw8vl Před 11 měsíci

      APM2 was ahead of its time. If you ask for a more modern AP round, you may end up with M61 or P80 as the new standard. And from what I’ve seen, those 2 simply aren’t as good at penetrating due to the penetrators being shorter.

    • @bananaballistics
      @bananaballistics  Před 11 měsíci

      It is definitely an older metric, but I believe that’s only because its an official NIJ rating and they currently do not have a higher rating (I could be wrong). I think those would be much more impressive as well

      @@USCisgay Of course they do.. but when you take the same round with tungsten you can penetrate a much thicker plate. You talk about big nasty rounds... but a 556 with tungsten core, like .308 slap round (the pojectile without the sabbot is 556. Can penetrate a Ar500 plate of almost 1 inch thick.. while you you not even dent it with a normal 556 or even a 308 round.. thats why i say.. speed is very important but when you really want to penetrate deep in steel you need tungsten cores, just because that bullet doesnt break on the target because tungsten is way harder than ar500.. a core like that keep going.

    Just because a plate stops a bullet does not mean you would not be severely if not fatally wounded. I would say the wearer would have multiple broken ribs, internal bleeding and possible heart trauma. This video also shows how to kill enemies wearing this sort of body armor, and that is to shoot them repeatedly in the same area.
