The first fair and reasonable test on this I've found. When I bought mine I called Spartan and their rep said use Gorilla glue per the glue company directions to secure the bag on the steel. I used a second plate and extra weight as a clamp while it set. Never tested but the glue is tight and I believe can act as a thin, hard coating on the steel. Thanks for the video.
I just watched your 6 year old video about eotech movement. Has eotech resolved this issue or is it part of the sights DNA. My first thought was a shim.
How thick is the spall bag? Debating between this one and the tactical scorpion gear one that has integrated trauma pad. Tactical scorpion one says about an inch thick
I have spartan ar550 with no spal coating. Was thinking about pixking up some spalling bags. I dont plan on getting shot 30 times, so that being said do you think 5 rounds with spal bags and a good carrier would stop frag?
Thank you for this. The whole spalling on steel plates thing is bordering on fudd lore at this point. Almost everyone knows not to just throw a raw steel plate in a carrier. This is perfectly acceptable protection versus ceramic.
Just finding this a year later but couple things. First, that plate can take some ABUSE lol. Only 1-2 pass throughs with all those rounds with almost no backface deformation is pretty impressive. Obviously, I can’t award too many points there though because if a person takes 15-20+ rounds to the chest, the only thing guaranteed is that they’re in the afterlife, pass through or not lol.

Arguably, this is better than ceramic. A ceramic plate could fail on the second shot it it’s close enough to the first shot

How many rounds did it take before it started showing spall outside the bag?

Great video, interesting content.

Dude, thank you so much for this video. Just what I was looking for.
