    Commenting on behalf of The Table. If there were ever a table that deserved recognition, this one is it. All the support it has given, in all types of weather, taking everything thrown at it, under-rated for the amount of abuse it has taken and continues to hold its own. Perhaps a poet could dedicate a poem to it, something like "Ode to The Table". Peace.

    A buddy of mine died from a ND to the pelvis. Evidently the vast majority of the trauma; that ultimately lead do his death, was via bone fragments. I obviously know nothing, but from what I had envisioned from talking to his family was his pelvis literally exploded, with his bones working as shrapnel. It was a 30 caliber hunting rifle so who knows? As a teen knew a guy that was caught sleeping with another guy's girl at a party. Bf shot my buddy in the groin and he died as well. The guy that murdered my friend only ended up doing 2yrs. Evidently crimes of passion do make a difference when it comes to sentencing. Tbh the BF was my buddy as well, and he's a really good guy. It's crazy. Regardless, I don't think the pelvis is a desirable location to be shot.
    It's ironic that that only two people I've ever known to be shot, both died over shots to the groin. I wonder if it's a more common location we'd generally suspect?

    I have observed several of these types of plate tests where the round is pretty much coming in perpendicular to the front of the plate. In a real-world situation, the plate could be substantially angled to the incoming round. Have you done testing where you use something like Paul Harrell's meat target above, below, or to either side of the plate to see what damage there is when the round is deflected into your body parts? Thank you for another great and fun video.

      @adamc6371 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nobody carries 20inch AR's shooting M193 unless you're time traveling back to the 80's. I wish he tested M855a1 out of an M4 barrel, the current standard issue for the last 10 years. The projectile in the A1 is much harder than m855 (which isn't even being made for military use anymore, only civilians use that like M193) which is why I expect that it probably just goes through every "level 3+" plate out there. So you gotta stick with heavy 5-7lb lvl 4's if you want to stop M855a1 or M995 which is unicorn rare, that shit is only issued to SF guys on particular missions. Needing to stop full caliber AP rounds is also even dumber, that's time traveling back to the 60's. Nobody is facing battle rifles shooting AP rounds, I'm not even sure if those have been made in the last 3 decades. Just a bunch of old stock. I just wish somebody would make a plate that doesn't weigh more than 3.5lbs each that stops M885a1, 7n6, and maybe SS190. All of those are the most common serious threats that anybody faces.

    • @JimYeats
      @JimYeats 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@adamc6371 Actually from a 14.5”-16” barrel all the tests with M855a1 fail to penetrate a 3+ plate. It just doesn’t have the velocity at 62gr, even being a little hotter loaded and having a harder tip. 7n6 is stopped by most level 3 plates, and all level 3+ that I have seen. Ss190 is stopped by any level 3 hard plate.
      So, everything you specified you want stopped can be stopped by level 3+.

    • @adamc6371
      @adamc6371 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@JimYeats people are conflating m885 “green tip” with m855a1. The projectile is different but flight ballistics the same. That round was designed to penetrate far better which is why is why it’s now the standard issue because armor is way more common if not universal. Even isis is rocking body armor, I’ve only seen 2 or 3 level 3+ ceramic plates that stop m8885a1 but they’re both crazy expensive like hesco and weigh just as much as level 4 so why not just get level 4 for half the cost and they are rated to stop even more?

      Ace Link plates are assembled and sealed in China. The dudes at Ace Link are sketchy at best. When they first started making armor and selling plates through Cannae, they refused to disclose where the armor was being made and what materials they were using. There are only like 4 armor manufacturers in the US and companies are usually pretty open about which ones they used. I actually had to contact Cannae to get more information on the company and they spilled the beans on them, but said they are pretty good plates in regards to stopping rounds. I’d rather just deal with the lead times on some good and well vetted level IV plates that are made in the US and NIJ certified.

    for future testing on armor thats Lvl III+, just because it stops m855 - doesnt mean it'll stop m193. Yes, m855 has a steel core penetrator which we all think would defeat armor more than m193 but I have seen very well known plates that claim to stop m855 actually stop it just fine, but m193? which is more common in the US than m855 -----> straight through the plate like it was nothing. Especially the Hesco L210s. Stopped m855 but not m193. Now if I was a LEO and I had Hesco L210s and got into a fight with someone with an AR? Im dead. The armor I thought that was supposed to stop m193 which we all think is less likely to pierce that armor more than m855....will. And youre dead. So for the future (just a suggestion) make sure it can stop common threats before absolutely destroying the plate. I watch these to make sure im making a good purchase on armor and most of these armor testing videos go straight to either m855 or M2 AP when im actually wayyyyyy more concerned with m193 because of its much higher velocity.
