Level 3+ Body Armor is Better

hey guys kind of sick right now you probably hear my voice I'm not really feeling like going out to the ranch to doing any gun videos you know when you have one of those days where you just kind of want to lay in bed all day and play with kittens till you feel better kind of having one of those days right now I feel better already yeah welcome to militia ranch I have what I think is gonna be a pretty cool video this is a body armor plate metal from AR 500 armor comm I've shot lots of plates before from them most of them their main plate is a level three plate which will stop ar-15 bullets the normal five five six or it'll even stop up to a 308 Full Metal Jacket and we've tested it and it's done that so the level 3 plus plate will stop everything that the level three plate will stop the way to beat armor is with something really hard or really fast and so I think the level three the regular level threes stop seven six to up to like twenty-seven hundred feet per second this one can take up to thirty one hundred feet per second so it has more stopping power and therefore you should be able to not only hit it with more rounds but also it will stop faster hotter rounds we have a variety of calibers we're gonna work our way up from smallest to biggest but first let's show you what happens when a bullet goes through Lieutenant Dan he's gonna be behind our armor plate while we're shooting and so I want to show you what it looks like when he takes one to the chest just so we know if one made it through a plate or not or how much damage it caused when I went through cool thing about these rubber targets like this as you can shoot them very close so there you go you can probably see that from where you're at there's a black hole right in this chest where that bullet went through so we should be able to tell as soon as any bullets come through that armor plate we should be able to see them exactly where they hit on lieutenant dan so I'm gonna scoot him back put the body armor in front of him we're gonna try it out here's our level 3 plus plate in our little holder right in front of Lieutenant Dan I spray-painted that spot I just shot you can't even tell where it was is tiny first up we run start with the easy stuff this is just some cheap steel case 2 to 3 ammo out of the surgeon firearms err 15 alright I'm a decent shot but for a second I kind of was worried that I missed this thing but there is the hole right there in that rubber and of course nothing went through so how about some 556 green tips for those who don't know these were almost banned not too long ago for their armor penetrating capabilities Lieutenant Dan you scared over here buddy let's see we got alright another one that is super hard to see I don't know if you guys will be able to even see that but a tiny teeny tiny little hole right there and nothing on the back and I mean just maybe it bend it up a little bit it's warm tell you that but it's like it never even happened I think we need to shoot an even bigger round this is a twenty five forty five sharps it looks pretty similar to that five five six bullet that we were shooting but that was 22 caliber this is a 25 caliber so it's bigger plus we're shooting it out of a 20-inch barrel out of this SRC ar-15 and the main reason I'm doing this these are soft points but when I was shooting them in a video a couple videos ago when I was testing out this round I was shooting them at AR 500 steel and they were taking big chunks out of it so let's think they're hitting pretty hard I wanted to try them on this body armor and see what we can come up with there it is right there so hard to find on this you guys see that right there a tiny little hole nothing came through and it's warm like the others maybe bulged up a little bit so we are not even getting close to coming through this plate yet I think someone needs to figure out how to make some green tip 25 45 that would be cool so we've done nothing to that plate so far this is the LM t 308 how big those things are now this plate should have no problem with it but I feel that we should try it out first make sure [Music] the weirdest bird noise ever heard all right here's a hole and it looks like those rounds finally separated the plastic off so now we can see we've been doing to the metal let's see this was our first two to three our green tip no dent and neither of those this was the 25 45 there is a slight dent there and our 308 there is a slightly bigger dip dent but they are very small and that one was the first one that dented on the outside there's a small dent right there so it took the brunt of a 308 round now let's try 30.6 that is the same diameter bullet it has a lot more powder behind it should be going a lot faster this is a level 3 AR 500 plate that obviously has been shot a lot before I'm gonna shoot it up top where it hasn't been hit yet with that 30 out six just so we can see what it does to this and then compare that to the level 3 plus here's the old savage 30 at 6 still using a rifle without a front post so you'll have to bear with me it is probably not gonna be the most accurate shot in the world I heard it hit so whoo I'm super happy with that I was aiming right here since it has no front post you have to aim way under because it shoots like two feet high even to this close range look at that though solid huge hole straight through very cool let's try the three plus plate I forgot to even check boot in advance sorry buddy yeah you got messed up oh that's the bullet right there I think I think that's a bullet sitting right there in him can you see that I went head and put a brand new plate in here at level three plus because I'm not confident that without a scope or sights I'll be able to put that exactly where I want to hit so have a new plate have a nice 1 foot wide target so I should be able to put it on there 30.6 load it up what then kick so good that's pretty accurate shot right in the middle and looks like it separated that I totally stopped it pretty decent dent there but it did stop it very cool nice now what about a 30 out six black tip armor penetrating 30 out six there should be no way that it can stop this this is as hard as you can get pretty much and it's going really fast so this play is not ready to stop 30 out six black tip but I like taking these tests as far as it takes to make it through them so let's see if we can get through it and our targets moving or dummy I think Lieutenant Dan might have got hit looks like it went through oh man I hit right on the other one I'm very precise now I feel like someone's gonna say well you just weakened Dix you hit right on that other bullet so I'm gonna shoot one more time over here so that no one can say that it just went through because it was weaker there this part should be just as strong as when we started second armor penetrating 30 out six one two three I'm so scared of missing the whole target that apparently I can't aim off the center obviously went through again but uh I guess I'll shoot it again and try to miss a little bit better third time's the charm all right we have a solid away from the center hit and it went straight through yep and this little boys seen better days so level 3 verse level 3 plus is there a huge difference no not a huge difference weight wise this is like 7 1/2 pounds and this is like 8 pounds I'm pretty sure so less than a pound of difference this one is a little more expensive those are the only downsides of this one the upside is you get more protection obviously so people buy these plate carriers probably because they're worried about a [ __ ] hit the fan scenario where the government collapses there's people running around with guns looting and everything in the streets with no law or there's countries invading wherever you live and these plates both of them the level 3 and 3 plus will protect against all pistol threats they will both protect against most of the common rifles that you would see when a country is invading like five five six or seven six to buy 39 they both do that fine the next biggest rifle that you'd see would be a 308 they both do that fine but where this one winds out is if someone has a long barreled rifle in the 30 caliber like a 30 out 6 or something like that or even just a regular deer rifle that has a 24 inch barrel where you're getting a lot more speed out of it that level 3 plate might get a little fragile when it's going that fast so a little more protection and it doesn't really slow you down another 1/2 pounds not gonna make a huge difference so pretty interesting concept and why not why wouldn't you go 3 + I'm still feeling a little sick so I think I'm gonna pack it up here and go home and play with some kittens I hope you guys have a great day thanks for watching the most Ranch and I will see you next time [Music] [Music]
