Nothing tickles the tism better than a buffman upload
Thanks for doing these test.
Welcome you are :D
@@BuffRANGE 👍🏻
Amazingly thorough test. Thank you!
Fantastic video as always brother! Great test! - Nolan
Thank you kindly!
Hope to see the 5.56 ggg 55 gr review soon! Thank you!
It's on the Todo list :D
🇺🇸
Team America! Thanks for stopping by Mike!
Interesting results! Definitely a lot better than I would have expected. Would you choose this over RMA 1155?
If the price were the same, I would take this design over the 1155. Even at probably $50-60 more than the 1155, I'd take this as well. Over the 1165, that will have to be tested..
@@BuffRANGE Fair enough, I think the real attractive part about the 1155 is that you can pretty much get two of them for the price of one of these
@@Grooove_e indeed. And by price I meant when TA runs those 40-50% off sales. This is a solid $175-200 plate. A $350 is a little much.
King!
I just wanted to mention “Shell Shock” ammo. It uses stainless steel cases that can be reloaded over 30 times!!!
I know you reload and you maybe familiar with these stainless cases. I just wanted to inform you in case you didn’t know.
Indeed! I've done some reviews on ammo using those cases. Seems to be pretty legit.
That’s great. I love new technology and innovation!
Should get one of those wind cover fuzzy thingies for your mic and glue it on. Love the videos. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Sorry about that! I normally will hide the mic under the shirt when it's windy
Is it worth the price jump from their non-NIJ certified lvl4?
I think they've cycled through a model line up, do you have a link to the model you're referring to?
Do you think basic m855 green tip in 22 creedmoor would have the construction to beat lvl4 ceramic, lvl3+ ceramic, or lvl3 steel plates using your KAK 18" upper.
My guess is lvl4 no, lvl3+ maybe (brand dependant), lvl3 steel yes.
Also thanks for all the data over the years, you're channel is truely invaluable for ballistic info
I'll be able to answer your 3+ question on M855 CM in the next coming weeks when I finish 3 videos with it :D I will have to find a level III steel to try..
Oh yeah
Based tactical flipflops ftw.
That guy who does those clips for TA has some serious moves...
Ouch
You should test their SRT plates!
Model number ?
Hey buff I’m wondering if as a ‘over the counter’ way to ‘defeat’ level 4 would be a 12 gauge magnum slug perhaps 1 1/4 oz or heavier or better yet a brenneke black magic? I want to know if on stand alone level 4 they would go deeper than 44mm…. Also I wonder how deep backface would be on steel 3+ armor? What do you think
only WHO TEE HOO on UA-cam has ever tested level 4 against a 12 gauge magnum slug like a brenneke and the backface was insane Appeared to be nearly two inches however against calibrated FBI clay would it be over 44 limit
Will you be doing their lightweight level 4 plates as well? Thank you so much!
Is that the TASPIV model ?
@BuffRANGE Hmmm, not sure, I'll check. I just know they had a lightweight option plate that was a bit more expensive that weighed 6lbs vs their normal level 4 that weighed 8 lbs ;)
@BuffRANGE Just checked, yes, sir, the TASPIV model :)
@@gspanie87 I’ll ask them !
@BuffRANGE Awesome, you're the best! Thanks for all the great vids :)
Now 300WM M80A1 vs 300WM M61
I need to load up some M61 in 300WM :D
I see maying attention is not a skill you have.
Is it odd that their level iv did so well but the iii+ couldn't stop m193 from a 16" barrel?
Because steel is and has
Always been weak to M193 :)
Steel is bad
@@lucastonoli3256 You are not Wrong :D There is a fine niche that steel is viable, but with the advancement of small arms threats, the threat scope at this current time is limited..
@@BuffRANGE In my head, if AR-15 with >=16" barrels are the most common rifle out there, and M193 is also incredibly common, level 3 steel is just not an option. There are better steel plates, but both price and weight go even higher, making them even less viable.
@@lucastonoli3256 Indeed. M193 is very common and so are 16" barrels. Cost, weight and inability to cover M193 are disadvantages, as well as in some cases the inability to prevent the fragmentation from exiting the plate. I am curious once NIJ deprecates NIJ 06 standards, how steel armor companies will adapt. Will they work on better steel and meet the new standards, or will they sell under the old standard, and confuse consumers..

if you were to be NIJ. would you certify this plate for lvl 4?
Yes.
@@BuffRANGEsick! i just got into body armor and theres so much out there to learn its hard to get a grasp of what you want/need. im still confused on the whole sapi/esapi thing. from what i get at is sapi=lvl 3 and esapi=lvl 4. does that sound about right?
@@brendenblair3706 it’s confusing because not only is that a performance standard, It’s also generally used for a shape, size and cut standard. As far as performance goes, you’re right a sapi plate is effectively a level three whereas an ESAPI is a level 4+ because it has a lot higher performance requirement than level four. Has to stop M2AP 3 hits with one at 3000 fps :)
Is this the company that got caught selling a dumbed down plate after it started selling well?
I am not sure? I've only ever tested their steel, and IIIA offering. They had a different offering after that, that I didn't demo. Do you remember where it was from?
Sounds like RMA last year
@@JenkemWizardthey got caught doing nothing. Their plate “failed” a FIT test. You might be thinking of ShotStop
I think I may have been mistaken
Worse RMA “failed” and they continued to sell the plates advertised as NIJ Certified when it was no longer so.
Aren’t these made by Hesco?
I don't think so? What makes you believe that?
@@BuffRANGE Looks the same. All the way from cordura wrap, ceramic behavior, weight. Everything
@@user-ug1yn4gm6h Cordura wrap is identical, but Hesco doesn't use that backing material. Lamination layer of the strike face is different, as well as the stated location of manufacturer. I would say Tacticon is making these themselves..
These are made strictly by Tacticon.
@@johnstieh2093 and you know this how?
Didn’t these guys make the fake cat tourniquets lol
It would appear they sell one that looks just like the NAR CAT but they don't claim them to be an NAR CAT.
@@BuffRANGEthe description says “this is the same style combat tq I used while deployed overseas” so basically it’s a fake cat tq lol
@@evanf7334 And what would that mean to you? Are you going to try and discredit a company for following a successful life saving design?
@@evanf7334gotta be a special kind of dim to buy medical from an ARMOR company 🤣
@@evanf7334 what kind of goofball buys an off brand TQ? Natural selection
No matter if the result are good. Don’t trust the company. Way to many counterfeit and iffy from that company.
What does Taction Counterfeit?
@@BuffRANGE take a look at there medical line.
@@BuffRANGE also they just rip off other peoples designs. It’s not a big deal to some people, but to me, it shows the lack of integrity.
That don't "Counterfeit" shit! They will tell anyone upfront that some of their shit comes from China. EVERYONE of their Plates are MADE IN HOUSE!
I don't buy Chinese shit, but don't tell shit that blatantly isn't friggin true.
@@BuffRANGE Taticon doesn't Counterfeit anything, dude is just being a parrot for Reddits basement dwellers.
Thanks for all the testing.
