Cheapest Level 4 Body Armor vs AP Ammo. The results are shocking! #battlesteelarmor #level4

all right so gonna be shooting some m855a1 out of this 14 1/2 inch barrel suppressed at a level 4 plate [Music] [Music] all right so today we're gonna be trying out some AP rounds on a level 4 plate that is from boat AK or as the company themself pronounces it boat ash what's that just sounds terrible it's battle steel a sister company of boat AK I'm just gonna keep calling at that because that just sounds better right but this isn't steel yeah this is not steel it is just the name of the company this is a ceramic polyethylene hybrid plate and it is level 4 it is rated for at least 3 hits of 166 grain 30 Cal EP rounds so the 30 Cal round that we're gonna be using today is Mata 1 and or mata 1 EP are enhanced penetration round we'll see if this can withstand that I'm not really sure if I want this to be able to defeat this round but I will be extremely excited if this just punches a hole right through it and so we got that one I've got five rounds of m855a1 EPR a lot of lot of videos of these being used on different ballistic plates out there some of them can stop it some of them can't I'm gonna be shooting it out of 14 and a half inch barrel so we'll see and also gonna be shooting it at 25 yards so not very far yeah we got just that berm right there those stands are nothing we're just gonna put it up against the dirt and then tell them just for fun what we got here this is 100 grain steel core nine millimeter ammo it is Czech ammo and it was manufactured in 1950 and just so you can see that this is true steel core ammo look at that I brought a magnet out here and it was a steel core so is this one shooting it out of the APC right yeah I'm gonna put I'm thinking probably just four rounds through the APC and see if that can possibly punch through this I doubt it but maybe we'll be surprised okay so shooting the 308 is your zev what's the barrel length this is a 20 inch barrel with a proof research barrel there's a lot of misconception and just wrong information about there about the a one rounds tearing up barrels it's not the barrels that are being torn up it is actually the feed ramps because that little steel penetrator right here is exposed and it slams right into it as it's being fed into the barrel the steel penetrator the steel tip does not touch the barrel so there's no way it can be blowing out barrels right and this is the level four is rated to stop putting up six the a one black tip correct I believe so yeah because that one is actually labeled as an AP round and technically none of these rounds right here if you except for this one this one was labeled as an AP round but it is legal to own right they can't manufacture these they don't make these anymore these are extremely hard to find if you do find them there north of three maybe even five dollars around I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of these right okay let's get to it all right so we're gonna start off with the maaa one because ultimately that's gonna have the best chance of punched through the surrounds the strongest round we've got and I really don't want to hear anybody saying that oh well you weaken the plate with all the other rounds that you shot through it you cracked the whole plate so we're just gonna go go big first all right so we did use another phone to try and record it in slo-mo all right there it is that's pretty incredible all right $100 that can stop Mata well there's a pretty big cavity there you want to check that out man yeah there's some decent back form deformation but you would be alive that'll definitely crack some ribs but you won't die awesome here's the sticker alright it make 55 a1 14.5 inch barrel alright let's go check it out alright so what do we got you hit the bottom but it didn't go through but well split it but it didn't go through didn't go through you want to hit it again no that's that's good enough I mean it's gonna have more reinforcement up here so if it didn't go through there it's not gonna go through here I don't know what you might have come out the bottom you sure you want to shoot it again we shoot it again first shot with the m855a1 hit a little low I mean it's go stopped it but nice alright and see what we got say you hit it good nice right here back form deformations normal did not go through and it didn't go through nine-millimeter armor-piercing let's do this a you just put a control group right here because we know it's yeah I put four rounds into it yeah so we're gonna do four rounds as long as that things stay standing of the Czech ammo so you can see that yes that is the a mom using steel core all right well three is good enough alright alright so that definitely is an impact didn't really do a whole lot to it didn't really add much more of a cavity the Mata one did but this is actually kind of interesting to little entry cavities right here or just you know entrances right here but they don't look like that they're really tiny they did add a little this is a but hey that's uh three different types of you know what we could call AP rounds and this thing stood up to it this isn't even level four plus this is level four for $100 yeah go to vote a coyote ACH I'm not gonna lie that's probably one of the best buys let's not forget to mention they are multi curve yes they are not single curve ball they are multi curve so you're not sorry you're not beating that you can try I mean what yeah all right all right so just so we can see how DPS wound cavities are this one that's the 9 mil yeah I know went in there it's pretty intense this was the m855a1 oh yeah this is another 9 mil of cavity right here oh actually you know what that did get angled down because when I'm pushing it in it's trying to route it down so it hit here and deflected downward and probably you want to hit you right in the hip man that's still what it hit you I still would have wounded a person for sure possibly me but at least it's protecting your vital organs yeah and then you didn't check this one of course which goes probably all the way through almost down at the bottom yeah yeah and this is Hornady tab that I'm using either there's no need to use this on that plate it's obviously not going to defeat it I'd say you still have some real estate on here to take a couple shots let's shoot it from point-blank yeah yeah all right so that was the battle steel level for a ceramic plate and as you could see it it held up to a pretty good beating two rounds that have been seen going through level three and three plus plates and I think there was even one video of the mata one EPR round going through a level four plate but this one stopped it that was the first shot and definitely stopped it what a lefty heard him you probably wouldn't been able to breathe for a little bit and you would have been on the ground but you would have at least been alive so that's a good thing after doing a little bit more research I did find out that the materials for those plates are actually sourced from China so some people might not want to buy them simply because they're not manufactured in America or in the u.s. they're just sourced from China and then assembled in the US that's what Bo Tech's website says or the battle Steel website says on their Facebook page they only have two reviews on there and they're both poor one says that they weren't able to get ahold of anybody it had been weeks and nobody had responded to his email and then another person claimed that the NIJ ratings are actually falsified that those plates are not actually on the list of certified plates so I don't really know how to how to feel about that but the armor works you know if you really don't want to spend a whole lot on level 4 plates it's definitely a good route to go however I'm not sure how consistent their armor is going to be but the one plate I got was pretty badass for sure and so today I'm actually gonna keep this video short and sweet a guy back there we are gonna do a review of that here soon so y'all can see what my 308 of choice is I'll talk about some of the other 308 rifles that I've owned and why I finally settled on just a custom build this guy right here so like share subscribe comment let me know if there's anything else you guys want to see if there's something I didn't cover just let me know alright guys take care
