Published 2021-09-24
In this video, we take an RMA Armament Level III+ plate and pit it against unrated threats including M855A1, 7,62x54R AP, and even 30/06 AP to see how well it can stand up to these threats at increased standoff ranges. Will the armor survive?

I like how you threw the toughest threat at the plate first instead of beat the crap out of it with lesser threats compromising the plate. It seems to be a more realistic test.
-
That’s a nice AR. My wife’s boyfriend lets me hold his Daniel defense sometimes. I really want to get one of my own
-
Eric: We’re testing level III+ armor Spirit of Barry: Bring the 30-06 Eric: Yaaaassssss

I shot the same .30-06 GI black tip out of a Remington 700. At 100 yds, went clean through 3/8 mild steel, then 3/4 alum plate. Recovered core wasn't even dented.
-
Eric, you should bring out the Fugly Mosin for some armor testing
-
I love this content from IV8888, I know it’s not as easy to do body armor tests, machine gun burn downs, and videos like that but these are the best! Thanks guys!
-
Wouldn't be surprised Taliban got hold stockpiles of M855A1
-
Love watching your body armor tests! See you guys next weekend 👊
-
Nice. I just bought a pair of these RMA plates last week and got them in yesterday. I'm very impressed with them. Light, comfortable and high quality. Fantastic service from the RMA folks too. I got a pair of the Level III+ Model 1092 (medium) plates to go into my Crye JPC 2.0 plate carrier. Could not be happier with my purchase.

Dadgum! That suppressor on the mosin is pretty impressive. The sonic crack on my earbuds was louder than the muzzle report. It sounded like an air rifle pop.
-
Shooting this ammo on the government’s dime at the height of the ammo shortage was a good feeling lol.
-
An old man I used to know had some 30-06 "accelerator" ammo he brought back from Korea. It was 55 grain ammo out of a 30-06. I'd love to see some testing done with it because it had to be wicked fast.

-

-

Just bought the armor with a OD green carrier. Also came with a free gong! Thanks for the video. I've been watching all the armor test videos and this one sold me.
