22 TCM VS Level II Body Armor 

This is what our military needs, not Sig. RIA could have made this modular.

By shooting the armor unbacked, you allow the armor to "cheat" by stretching to catch the bullet. Armor tests should always be backed by clay or ballistics gel to realistically simulate an actual hit on body armor. If .22TCM defeated IIA despite the armor being unbacked, I bet it would give most IIIA armor a run for its money in a realistic test. With a better projectile design it will defeat IIIA without question.

Very nice ! Loved it, when the bullet not only went through the test piece but almost took it through the target board . . . Would not be a good day for the robbers wearing that armor. . . Thank for posting the video...

nasty little round.

That would be my gun when my license gets approved.

Imagine what this round could do loaded up with a slug designed to penetrate.

It will get you past the Door and Clear the room . I compare it's releasing energy to a .50 caliber . a wonderful self-defense round the TCM , wait till you see it in the Rifle .

Thank you

Is the ammo cheaper then a 5.7 cause if that’s the case I’m thinking of changing my future purchase

Any one producing a rifle length firearm for this round?

You need a camera guy

I'm not too sure that little 5x8" panel is "body armor". It says on it "Spall Stoper (sic)". These are usually made from left over scraps of soft ballistic protection panels, not designed for standalone protection. It's name even says it's intended use is to sit in front of hard armor I suppose to catch the frag from a bullet when it hits the hard plate or it can be used as a trauma pad in front of soft armor. Your test is not really valid.

O ya that would hurt

Looks like a strike plate. There is another layer of armor under that for most body armor.

ABSOLUTELY ..A CRUMMY VIDEO!

These rounds are very impressive. Its like the poor mans 5.7. Maybe better

You suppost to have the vest on something solid simular to a body. But i guess it didnt matter
