Impressive. You would probably have a broken rib but you would survive
Maybe.
Would be great for an officer to add to their standard vest.
Green tip is M855 or SS109.
M193 is 55grain FMJ at 3200+ fps.
As some asked about 243, it would punch this plate, as would M855A1.
What makes you say that?
@@crunch9876 watch some "BUFMAN RANGE" videos he has them all to compare. the M855A1 is a steel tip on a copper base. M955 is solid tungsten. the armys new bullet for other than on USA soil use. AKA 556 black tip.
They now claim to stop M855A1 with this plate. Whether it is due to product iteration or they finally tested it. Edit: This is incorrect, I was thinking of the ESRT Ultra thin plate from RMA. @Pilot-- corrected me.
@@Arkancide Totally different plate. M855A1 will slice through this like butter.
@@Pilot-- You are absolutely right, I stand corrected.
I might try one of these actually
Even though I think this is well worth considering, that 308 bulge in the back may still have produced lethal trauma to the wearer even though it didn't pass trough. Blunt trauma also kills. All that being said, at 2.5 pounds per plate, I think these are well worth considering, and the price isn't at all bad when compared to the cost of other rifle rated soft body armor.
Add a trauma pad behind it.
@@chadvalliere8697 Absolutely!
Do you think you would die from the recoil? Because that's roughly how much energy is hitting the armor.
@@LarsLarsen77 No, that's not true. If it were there would be no reason to add trauma plates behind your body armor. Shooting my 30-06 has never bruised me, but if I were at the receiving end of the projectile, that would be a whole other story. 308 still retains over 2,400 foot pounds of energy at 50 yards. That's the amount of energy that is hitting the armor at 50 yards. If that were hitting your shoulder, you'd suffer way more than a bruise, and I've never had a bruise from shooting my 30-06.
I was thinking the same thing with the bulges. I ran these plates for the last three years. Literally, my mags are the heaviest part of my kit haha.
The blunt trauma though!! I would be begging to die!
That .308 will be sending my ribs into my organs 😬
👍 Great review.. Thank you
This is very impressive for its weight. But I think I would add a trauma pad behind it, maybe 2 lol.
watch buffman range. he tests them all and sometimes uses a soft 3A backer. but that may negate the savings.
Awesome content and explanations
At 2.5 pounds ..I would wear that ...I run mostly empty light with mag holders with maybe lightweight software armor ..this might be lighter then my soft stuff or real close
some people may not do it on purpose but the numbers are deceptive.
the 8x10 plate is 2.5 lbs and $275. but you pay by the inch.
10x12 and 11x14 are not a lot but more. cost and weight. up to ahh $375????
its on the WMA site.
First. Happy Veterans Day to the vets out there.
Thanks bro, to you and yours as well. Did you also serve?
@@evelbill1439 You’re welcome. Army Vet
Those holes would break everything in your body.
Dope. Where do you shoot?
What’s in the ole fashion S&W cardboard box???
How did it stand up to the M193?
Thanks I was impressed for how light it was
just a thankyou......NO ANSWER !!
@@704TACTICAL He didnt mean "oh wow, I can't believe it" he meant "did you test it with m193, and how well did it perform?"
I was thinking the M193 was the green tip, but as Survival Concerns points out, the M855 is. I did not know that the M855 is also ss109. So, once realizing all this, your video shows how the armor stands up to a standard 556 and a “green tip”.
@@coopdog114 but standard 556 is not M193.
Are these on the website? Couldn't find them.
It's there. Look for the SRT designation in the body armor section.
look for model 1003.... and 3 more models up in size. the 1003 is 8x10.
You keep saying that word (SS109). I do not think it means, what you think it means.
ss109 is M855 green tip without the green paint.
Princess bride reference maybe?
Was that m193 or ss109 aka green tip? I did not see the green tip which the paint can easily come off.
No m193 not green tip
I hate to break the 69 comment number, but wanted to say, I'm saving up for these plates. Pricey, but awesome. Currently around $350 per plate. Edit: I was thinking of a different RMA plate, the ESRT Ultra-Thin plate. The 2.5 lb level IIIA+ is going for $250.
So this is similar to the hesco l210
Cool 👍
Try a 308 black tip!?!
Are they very spendy?
Yeah,if I had room I’d get a freezer and meat.
243 ?
Lost me at 275 a plate... Got their level 4 for 135 each. Granted it is much heavier
That's the thing with body armor. Lightweight plates like this use pure polyethylene which costs much more. These are priced lower than comparable plates (no not the L210)
2.5lbs vs 8.3lbs though
fair, but spall bugs me out
Algorithms
I've seen better light weight plates that does less damage
link?
Which ones??
Dislike. That was not a test. Do the real test. Try special military armour-piercing bullets with high penetration power. You used simple bullets and wanted to say something. Dislike.
This is a special threat plate. Armor piercing will go right thought this because it's not made for those rounds.
- Dislike your comment. Dislike.
The military doesn't use special ammo, just 5.56 green tip for most soldiers on most deployments.
military only has 5 different kinds of ammo for small arms and im going to guess that you actually own 4 of them.
