    Pro tip with the plastic hard ones, cut open the top and pour small grain sand into them and tape the top back up. Now you have cheap training plates! Great fir workouts or running them on the field to make a challenge for yourself

      Yeah they say that because a lot of the plates nowadays are ceramic and basically that means if you drop it that might compromise it's ability to stop a bullet. Also they'll really only stop one bullet in the same spot. The reason steel isn't used is because upon impact the bullet will effectively explode causing shrapnel that could go up and hit you in the head making the vest ineffective for it's intended purpose while also weighing more.
