Hey All, I know this is an older video, but we have more videos coming out soon with other awesome RTS products and we want to show how good their products are. So please watch again, and give it a thumbs up. Blessings Going Ballistic

I'm only watching it again, because Chris was able to shoot this time, and that deserves another view - LOL

My guess is that even though the Level 4 body armor stopped the 338 Lapua round, if you were the guy wearing the vest, you would be going to the hospital from the resulted of blunt trauma impact . Depending on where the round hit it would be like getting hit in the chest with a sledge hammer. Who knows what kind of damage that round would do from the blunt trauma.

[@GoingBallistic]

I agree.

[@dalemckee2897]

I totally agree, get a torso to more clearly demonstrate the underlying damage that would theoretically be done.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Just walk it off. There might be a chance that impact stops your heart, but you're still not going to be shipped straight to morgue.

[@NATOSucks-lv4zj]

At least a sledge hammer for sure

[@RobertCraft-re5sf]

I don't think so. It doesnt have the follow through or energy of a sledge hammer.

[@KJTUSKJTUS]

I like the fact that you guys started with the big round first. It always bugged me with KZbinrs that they would start with small work their way up. I may be wrong, but I feel like it reduces the structural integrity

[@bigredone1030]

it does affect the material matrix yes

[@nowherespecial6780]

That round blue right through. On the replay you can see the sand drain out of the bag.. Lapua a p round definitely ate Right through it As well as the 308 armor piercing round.. Proofs in the pudding I would have Dumped the sandbag . 100% both of the jackets and the steel penetrators are in it. .

The 54r on that lvl4 plate was absolutely going sideways when it hit.

[@user-yq3vj8iw4z]

Guy's, you are best. Thanks for content.

[@koptenus4761]

According to slowmo, "notSVD" shoots irons, not bullets (you should check it by shooting at paper). It definetly reduces penetration.

[@chaseyourdreams4104]

What would be awesome but nobody listens to non patreon is a battle of the prc's 6.5 PRC 7mm PRC 300 PRC so on and so forth.

Thank you!

[@davebuko8096]

Wow i will get some RTS plates as soon as i can. Theres a few guys at the club that said no lightweight body plate can stophis 30-06 ap rounds. Time to make some money on them. perfect timing my company shut down . thanks

[@davebuko8096]

Cant wait to get a plate. Just got another buddy that says no possible way it can stop his 338 Lapula with lead hunting rounds, Im gonna make a few bucks and RTS is gonna get a lot of orders when they fail to go through.

[@romrook2136]

As always great 👍🏻

[@GoingBallistic]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bladerunner752]

Very cool video guys. This channel is always rockin it. 🤘👍 id be interested in seeing what would happen with the Armor with a glancing shot instead of straight on. Maby a ballistic torso. Put the Armor on and hit it at a slight angle then even more, just to see what happens and if any damage would occur to the torso. Cheers 🍻👍

[@kevanhubbard9673]

Mind level 4 is pretty sturdy stuff so it doesn't surprise me it can halt a .338 in it's tracks.I'm guessing .50 BMG would waltz through but not much else.

[@charlesburns2481]

Saw a video where battle steel lvl4 ceramics stopped up to 50 bmg where a second plate behind it stopped it

[@angusmcnaughton4570]

Thanks going Ballistic 👍

Those 7.62x54's were keyholing so badly!!

[@johnraygun9868]

I seen the same thing, was checking if anyone mentioned it. On the slow mo second round its super visible

[@GoingBallistic]

Yes the barrel twist for some reason is not enough to stabilize the round in that short of a distance.

[@johnraygun9868]

@@GoingBallistic still a sweet ass rifle, I was wondering if it was crap ammo or something. Another fun video either way gentlemen!

[@idealist4910]

You should try 8mm Mauser SMKH (NOT to confuse with 8mm Mauser SMK) as I havent seen any plate stop this ww2 round but its very hard to get your hands on them

[@TheTmshuman]

That 54r appears to have tumbled

[@simonbach3618]

Justin is one of the best shots among gun tubers, or you guys are the onley ones sighting in your guns before filming. 😆

[@GoingBallistic]

To be honest we are really bad at sighting out firearms in. He's just a good shot.

[@krisneal7725]

Is that 54 still tumbling its pellets ???

[@francislematt7079]

Can you guys test the .50 BMG from super short barrel like Noreen, and see if it still has enough punch at 200 yards or more?

[@GoingBallistic]

I wish we had the money to do a lot of videos.

[@ru2yaz33]

408 or 375 Cheytac in the mix would be interesting .

[@christopherkieti1502]

I like Justin for his accuracy.

[@hightie1]

50 yards? Is that the top velocity of the Lapua? Thought it would be further.

[@GoingBallistic]

Top velocity is right out of the barrel, not further down range.

Yep

[@billynomates920]

i like the 6.5 creedmoor, i'd probably say it is my favorite cartridge but if the lapua don't go through then i don't rate it's chances.

The plate might have stopped it but like I’m not sure you’d be able stand after getting hit with that

[@jeremywhittington7605]

That rts plate might have stopped the 338, but holy cow, you get to die from internal injuries due to blunt force trauma from plate deformation instead

[@troyhope479]

I'm not surprised it went through lv 3 but not the lv 4.

[@blackstone7960]

50cal machine gun vs jersey barrers at automatic mode, thats want i wanted to see and i know u can do it buddy

[@GodsGladiator]

Maybe I don’t know all the models of the Thompson but that made me wonder. It looks like it had the GI hand guard, but instead of the GI barrel you have the Kutz comp from the standard Tommy, it’s top charge the GI was side charge, and stick only. We have both in full auto we rent out.

[@GoingBallistic]

We bought it whih what you see and put it together. Works great.

[@mattus1gig]

Quick question. Say the body armour got hit with a 308, what would happen if in the unlikely event another 308 went in the same hole, would it then make it through?

[@GoingBallistic]

If a 308 hit on any ceramic body armor in the same spot it would go through.

[@alexeitass9023]

Russian caliber 14.7 what do you think about using Slap.

[@GoingBallistic]

if we had one we would shoot it.

[@krisneal7725]

Ya think that first one would have hurt a little chris'o ? Lol looks like it would feel like getting hit by an express freight train with no brakes , ouch 😬

[@Allen338LM]

Is it me or is that 7.62x54R going into the plays sideways?

Nope it did. It doesn't like the PSL

[@roserado8228]

Your really building a fantastic collection of firearms ,but your missing a Carcano Model 1891/38 short rifle,the most devastating,accurate,fastest firing gun in the world ,at least according to the warren commission!there is no way the plate could survive the all powerful carcano.also nice to see the Russian guys are back.

[@derrickkolba]

that psl looks to be key holing.

[@Ali-bz9gd]

A carrier and a plate that covers 50% of the chest area? why? major vessels are exposed and both shoulders are exposed.

[@GoingBallistic]

What body armor covers all? better 50% than zero

[@debypurnamasari8106]

awsome

[@Legendary-2024]

Now I know this Is not gun related but I'm curious to see how the RTS level 4 plate would fair if it got placed on some train tracks and have one of the big cn rail trains run it over, now would it simply just bend around the rails or be cut in Half? That would be a sweet video and would get many views

[@GoingBallistic]

With all the derailments lately, We will pass on that video lol. But I think it would just cut it in half.

[@Legendary-2024]

@@GoingBallistic what about a controlled environment? Even just one single engine slowly run over it and just see the results.. I know it may be a headache to schedule something like this, but guys it would do well for sure!! And hey even if you guys can't make it happen, maybe fire at a old decommissioned train or train steel? I seen 50 bmg blow threw train rails.. wonder about the steel all over the train.. mmmm

[@GoingBallistic]

Challenge accepted

[@theheretic3764]

So…. to help everybody understand why that body armor wouldn’t do you many favors… If you are turned sideways in the middle of the road. And a car slams into you at 50 mph. Did it penetrate your vehicle? Probably not. But consider what’s going to happen to the parts of your body that are on the other side of the distortion that occurs when that car rams into you. If the force doesn’t kill you and that’s a big if you are definitively out of the fight.

[@krisneal7725]

What does "EP" round mean? I know what AP is.

[@GoingBallistic]

Enhanced performance.

[@Jkauppa]

spikes are not only nice for penetration, also as stopping them, yes, point the spikes at themselves

[@Jkauppa]

energy absorb crush in longitudal direction, and bounce around, and bullet trap, very light weight (low density sheet cones)

[@Jkauppa]

well try shooting an I-beam from the side and along the length, you get the point, man

[@Jkauppa]

the cone spike is kinda honey-comb structure even if its mostly longitudal

[@Jkauppa]

well two-layer spike mesh (against and along) to make the honey-comb spike 3d structure

[@Jkauppa]

well its like combination of the bounce metal test with a ring armor, both crushing and bouncing, and light weight

[@KUSHxKiNG]

6:29 lmfao that’s what the Russians are thinking 😂😂😂😂

[@garmancathotmailcom]

The colour of the plate liner is likely due to a proprietary fill. Generally the fill is carbon black (natural gas soot) and is why most rubber is black. Hydraulic hose, for instance, is around 30% acrylic plastic, 30% nitrile rubber, 30% carbon black and the remainder is processing agents and polymerization catalyst, etc.
