Ha.. Your using factory ammo for the Five-seveN.. Try some Elite Ammunition T6b, the Penatrator, Or Vanguard Outfitters Black Dragon Fang.. If I can stop any of those, I'd be impressed.
factory ammo? he shoots green tips 5.7 from FN directly which are law enforcement only, not available on civillian market. Its the SS LF198
Our last video post on Back Face Deformation was so much fun we wanted to share this again smile emoticon!
AR500 Armor® Hybrid IIIA Soft Body Armor vs. FN 5.7x28 & 12 Gauge Slugs using ballistics gelatin (not clay). This test is designed to show penetration, if any.
www.ar500armor.com/ar500-…/level-iiia-body-armor.html
**Ballistics Gelatin (as used in this video) is typically used for measuring penetrating depth of a round. It is also a very good simulation of soft tissue. Penetration and/or tearing would be very clear if any occurred.
**Ballistics Clay (as used in our previous video) is not meant to replicate human media or tissue, but instead allows back face deformation measurements to be obtain to gauge performance to an industry standard. The visual effect is more significant, as is required to obtain a measurement.
When watching body armor test videos it’s very important to understand what you’re watching, and what’s being measured.

Great tests. Thank you for the upload.
I want them to do something like this for April fools, but when they cut it open there are no bullets, just candy. Then mariachi music starts playing and people in mariachi Tactical gear burst in and secure the candy.
Even though the soft armor will stop a 12ga slug, Im not sure if you would want to be alive after getting hit in the chest with a slug. You will probably end up having a chest full of broken ribs, due to the sheer amount of concentrated force, and thats if youre lucky.
Ouch.
MrErikw26
true, but you will DEFINITELY die from a center mass hit without the armour. I'd rather have some chance than no chance at all :-D
You're entitled to your opinion sir. I'd rather go quick than suffer. My preference lol. Just get it over with. LOL. Problem is, I'm not sure where I'm going after. Heaven doesn't want me, and hell is afraid I'll take over!! Lol
MrErikw26
Realistically, speaking as someone who has taken hits while wearing body armour and as a TEMS medic, the kinetic transfer is less damaging than people might think. Don't get me wrong, wearing this armour and being hit as shown it's about a 50/50 chance you'll die from significant internal injuries (and you're going to have some serious bruising and probable fractures at best), but if I were treating an officer in this situation I'd be more concerned about spalling fragment penetration of blood vessels and such than the kinetic transfer. Personally, I've got a wife and kids, so I wear armour. Even if it is only a fraction of a percent increase in my chances of survival it's worth it to make sure my daughters keep their daddy.
Didn't know that. Thank you for the information. Either way it still has to SUCK.
God bless you and your family. And may He get you home safe every night.
Even if you were wearing soft armor and you took a slug to the chest you still run a very high risk of death due to either heart attack, if it hits you in the right spot, or internal bleeding. Although, I'm sure it is better than being hit with a slug when you are not wearing the soft armor!
You wouldn't die you moron
alan wake No one ever died from a shotgun hit while wearing armor
alan wake FBI statistics for decades
alan wake That’s a lie, soft armor will not even stop .45-70
Oh and here is the stat : ucr.fbi.gov/leoka/2017/topic-pages/tables/table-119.xls
alan wake I forgot to link this table with it ucr.fbi.gov/leoka/2017/topic-pages/tables/table-38.xls
I requested an alteration to my order with AR500'S customer service today, and their customer service is great! Thank you again Krystal, for fixing that up for me.
I requested an alteration to my order today with AR500's customer service today, and I have to say their customer service is top notch.
Love it. Cant wait to get my order in. This 10 week production wait is killing me. Lol.
I am more than happy for purchasing this panels, lightweight, confortable and excellent if you use it with a concealed plate carrier.
Another awesome video! That's pretty cool with the 5.7, however I would not want to wear that and take a slug. That BFS would be gnarly.
AR500 Armor Are we ever going to see SS190, SB193, and Elite's 5.7 against your soft IIIA ? :D
They know they'd lose, so no.
Maniac742 Sad that they don't want to show what their armor can't stop. Guess I'll bug them for more T&E :D
Buffman I still like their plates more than anyone else's. I'd just buy level III though. IIIA won't stop enough to justify the added mobility. I can take the added weight for rifle round protection. Not sure about side plates, though. My frame is pretty thin. Side plates would probably be more a hindrance than help.
Buffman Its not designed to stop SS190 because SS190 is MIL/LEO only and designed to puncture soft armor and be closer to .223, the fact that this stops regular 5.7 is just a bonus. And no they are not afraid to show what their armor can't stop, they T&E this stuff out to major CZcams channels left and right and tell them to have at it unlike some companies that dictate what you can and can't do.
nateo200 SS190 is still only around 2000 fps from the Pistol. I was just joshing them cause I sent them those rounds for them to mess with. I've done T&E for AR500, and yes they aren't afraid of us torturing their stuff :D
There is plenty of 5.7 ammo that will go through this armor but it does cost $2 a bullet, you get what you pay for.
Why do you have two panels stacked instead of one like what would normally be used?
Never mind, Trauma pad
Awesome! Keep up the great work!
shoot the 5.7 from a ps90 and it will probably penetrate
you get a little more velocity with the longer barrel
What you should do is somehow put some animal ribs where the humans ribs are in the ballistic gel and then put that back up I've been curious to see if or how many runs would be broken considering that's a 1 ounce slug
That is a great idea.
5.7 black tip. show that=)
Why you don't use a armor piercing round on the Five Seven ?
With the slug you are going to have broken ribs. There is also a SMALL possibility of stopping the heart with blunt force trauma although small.
Your not getting up after that 12g slug even with the armor. Your in for some serious injuries and pain.
Once again, no armor piercing or high velocity ammo tested out of the FiveSeveN. We already know that these rounds are not going to penetrate soft body armor. They aren't meant to. They're specifically listed as non-armor piercing. Try some EA, R&R, or SS190 ammunition that's already known to penetrate level IIIA. Of course, you'd never show us anything you KNOW is going to go right through your armor.
wow that 12 right in the chest would kill you even with the armor =p But it's cool that it can stop it from getting into you
What was the lesson here on shooting non-AP 5.7 rounds at IIIA body armor? Seems like the real test would be the SS190 vs. body armor.
never understand why people bring 45 and shotguns to a penetration test...
I don't think the 12 gauge slug what actually kill you but I do think it would probably ruin your day by breaking bones and bruising you but that's why they make trauma pads to wear under soft body armor as well
It looks like some 5.7 went thru the first panel but not the second.
No penetration. But your ribs are for sure broken and you are out of the fight either way.
They all went thru tf u talking about
@asrgaqgq sdfgsdgsdfgsdg He wouldnt be dead
I'm actually supposed it held up
So well against the infamous "cop killer" bullets from the 5.7. Still looks like a bad day no matter how you slice it but better then if you had no armor. Nice job AR500!
The bullets are called cop killers more than anything, they’re hard to get and are almost $20 a bullet!
And the coo killer ammo would destroy that vest
Love my fns
if I could ask hornady anything it would be why make a vmax varmint style bullet for a bullet that is never used to hunt
you should've used ss195lf or the ss198lf, those are the 5.7 rounds that might pass through, you gave it an unfair disadvantage bu using the weakest ammo and the stuff all 5.7 guys know won't defeat armor.
They DID use the ss198lf. Go exactly 1 minutes in.
CRASH PRO exactly i stayed quiet hahaha
They should try the elite ammunition t6b rounds.
That AR500 armor is some quality shit, don't know if it is true, but I have heard it will stop a .308 at point blank.
There shit won't stop my musket
+mrbuffer84 Unless you're going to invade 1940s Poland, I don't think you're going to have to concern yourself over a musket. It's they're not there, normally intelligent people should know that.
+Micheal Wilcox I'm just joking. Trying not to troll too much.
I am little confused. the video shows two panels stacked on top of one another. so will I need two panels stacked on one another to get the advertised performance or did I miss something? also do you guys make carriers for these? more specifically a low pro under the shirt style carrier?
sovaprepper The panel underneath is just a pad to absorb the blunt force trauma. Especially important since soft armor is flexible unlike steel AR500 plates.
Did I see some fragmentation of 12 gauge slug penetrated the body?
bandofbrothers19 Negative, no penetration. There are some existing air bubbles in the ballistic gel dummy, but any penetration would be discolored and clearly noticeable.
+Aaron Monroe what's wrong?
+Aaron Monroe he wasn't calling you dummy he was saying the gel dummy
Lol wow...AR500 meant the dummy they were shooting at. How did you even confuse that as them insulting you?
Now that is funny...I giggled my butt off.
its great that the armor can stop a 12 gauge. But lets be honest, you are not running into a 12 gauge unless if your robbing houses
Would this stop the 5.7 copper t6 round?
Rather Impressed.....Good thing the deer in ohio don't have access to this stuff!! Will write a letter to my senator and ask him to propose a bill banning the wearing of soft body armor by deer.
Was today FN day at the range? lol
If it stop a slug would it stop a .50 cal hand gun like a .50 g.i. or A.E. or 500 s&w?
Look at FPS Russia's test of this armor.
Have u tired ss190
So I have to buy 1 front and 2 backs? Why are you having the front and the back both back to back in the front?
Trauma pads are behind the armor...
Theres a hole on the "body" side at 2:00-2:04 clear as day.
Jordan Roseberry Negative sir, what you see is the nylon cover tearing and exposing the inner workings of the the trauma pad. This is completely normal. Penetration would be extremely obvious in the ballistics gelatin, had there been any.
Man that room is soooooooooooo quiet
What would steel core do?
Geezuz!
Can you use the black tip ammo.
That slug will have your heart sticking out a person back
wow
Is your ar500 steel armor a quarter inch thick? like a raw plate of it with no coating?
+weapondude123 Yes
Yep, still very slim though. The IIIA hard plates are actually very light and thin though, and very affordable and far more resistant than the above soft plates.
5.7x28mm is 99% hype so... yeah
