[@antitankautism8052]

Excellent video. Very eye opening. Having worn ESAPI plates for extreme durations under intense movement, Invest in the lightest armor you can, WITHOUT compromising protection, (ideally lvl 3+ or greater, weighing less than 6lbs) Even something as light as 6.5lbs per plate becomes pretty unbearable after a few hours. Especially when you need to carry ammo, assault packs, and more. Wear a size that covers the bare minimum, while still protecting vitals. Don't make yourself into a walking tank, you'll be too slow and die of heat exhaustion before you even get shot at. If nothing else is available, steel is okay... but ONLY if it has thick protective coating, AND a trauma pad. If you have the option, go multi-curve polyethylene all day everyday. You better have a good load bearing carrier too, nothing cheap with garbage weight distribution. And lastly, be wary of manufacturers claims. Call them if specs are not listed. Look for EXACT calibers WITH accompanying velocity. "Will stop up-to .308" DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING. And make sure the plate specifies "STANDALONE" (no soft armor/trauma pad backing required) Oh, and ask about the shelf life, too. Stay safe.

[@vernievuitton]

What are some good carrier brands you go with? Am I generally safe if its made of 500d cordura? And will it hinder me to get those new quick release buckles on the cummerbund or shoulders, or do I want something full stitched for durability? Thanks for the insight!

[@benjaminison564]

@@vernievuitton I rock the ar500 Testudo gen 2, it’s a very modular carrier. You have front and rear plate compartments with trauma plate inserts on the side. Buckles on the shoulder straps for quick detach in the event you take a hit and need to be dragged out. To add what the guy above said, steel is stronger and will take more hits with a longer shelf life but you also sacrifice comfort and weight. Ceramic plate will only take 1 maybe 2 hits have a relatively short shelf life but they are lighter, rated for higher caliber and if you’ve ever had to train or operate in or around water they offer the added benefit of floatation whereas steel plates do not

[@2ndsnake899]

With the thick plates, put a layer of soft armor in front of it, and another layer behind it so to reduce potential shrapnel from the armor and to soften the impact on your body.

They are a bad armor company. Go ceramic, or risk your life. There are incidents of some handguns hitting over hardened steel and shattering the armor. And one of the most common rounds in america, the M193, can put clean holes into it. Go ceramic or bust, man.

[@maidenfan620tx]

@@KoishiVibin depends on what threat level you buy. Everything you said is true of Level III armor, but like what was shown in the video, AR500's Level III+ will stop the M193 and M855 at the expense of being a bit heavier. 30.06 black tip tears through it still, but the low cost and multi-hit capabilities of the steel armor is still attractive.

What this man fails to tell any of you, is that the level 3+ light weight steel plates are lighter than the level 4 ceramic plates. In fact, the level 3+ LW plates are lighter than all of the composite level 4 plates currently on the market, even the ultra high end models like Hoplite. Secondly, if you're still worried about spalling, check out Scorpion Tactical's anti-spalling kevlar plate cases. tacticalscorpiongear.com/tactical-scorpion-gear-body-armor-ar500-10x12-steel-plate-spall-guard-blocker-tsg-1012se.html.

This has sold me on my decision to go with AR500's stuff.

[@jesseterrell9354]

It took just shy of under 3 months to get a set of plates.

[@mickydeloach7807]

The 556 or 30/06 will knock you back at least 3 ft at where you were standing! But will be happy you are still alive with the level 4

[@wultrax5343]

is this apex legends or warzone?

[@crutch517]

Warzone, apex uses electricity to make an over shield.

[@JusAnotherUTuber]

Great video, thank you. This answered all my questions

[@PKPK-rr3rs]

Level III does _not_ defeat M855, it's rated for M193.

[@hammer3293]

You got those reversed, m193 out a 16 inch barrel will go through level 3.

[@cc-vg4ed]

Next year with the new NIJ standard level III will be RF1 and will be rated for m193 along with m80ball and 7.62x39. III+ will be RF2 and will have those three plus m855 IV will be RF3 and will be the same 30.06 m2ap but will have the option of up to 3 shots with it being noted on certification.

[@dragonex814]

You look oddly enough like serj tankia, not that its bad, its actually awesome, nice video

[@vincenator5000]

Really you cant tell us how much each plate weighs? Come on man Jesus christ

[@Don150T]

The weights are all listed on AR500.com 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Vuongiam]

I love the jackfruit description .

[@enigma4430]

hipsterism meets the 2nd amendment, I guess you guys are alright just so long as you dont vote demonclap...

[@fosty.]

I think these guys probably help to make firearms more of a mainstream thing.

[@vanessajazp6341]

May surprise you, but liberals buy guns and armor too.

[@Terminalsanity]

@@vanessajazp6341 Shock gasp some of them even serve/served in the military. Getting real tired of this brainless "Four legs good, two legs bad" crap on the left and the right. Everybody could with a lot less righteous recationary fury and a lot more thoughtfulness.

[@wannabeaznufcfighter]

I love the comparison to the Durian (that fruit), especially how some people would never eat it like how they would never need body armor. I'm definitely in the camp of "buying body armor to have it even though I'll never ever use it" lol

[@electropalsceo]

I feel I'm in great shape and exercise three times a week, but Damm those steal plates can wear you down after a few hours of running around in them.
