Nicely done Deacon!

@Johnny_Cash_Flow Месяц назад

I served with Blake Waldrop (CEO of RMA) in the Marines back in 2003 and have had the honor of remaining friends with him. He's one of the nicest and most freedom-loving guys I know. Besides that, I've worn his plates for almost 10 years now and trust not only my own life, but my family's lives with them. I've worn them professionally and privately and trust them entirely. Semper!

@99cobra2881 Месяц назад

Everyone seems to be bashing about the weight of these plates being heavy. Versus the 1155 the weight reduction of the 1165 added together you're losing 3 pounds which is the equivalent of three loaded pmags. Thats not bad for what the plates cost each on sale.

Seems like a decent plate i just need something that stops green tip and light my local store had green tip 5$ cheaper a box i know folks are choosing that over the non green tip

@BuffRANGE 3 дня назад

This will stop green tip easy, but an actual RF2 plate will do it better and more repeatedly. Look at RMA’s 1092

@Kinetic.44 2 дня назад

M193 has a better chance of punching through at close range with a 20 inch gun. It's all about velocity.

@pakman184 Месяц назад

The request to only drop test a single plate and a passthrough on fair M2 hits, plus a lack of certification, really gives me pause about this plate. The ceramic also appeared to degrade significantly faster than other plates I've seen before.

@Grooove_e Месяц назад

Ehhh I mean it's a 7 pound level 4 plate...I'd say it did pretty well. Keep in mind that pass through was from a M2AP loaded into a 300 Winchester magnum case. It also stopped M995, and M80A1 loaded into a 300 winmag case. Pretty impressive for a lightweight, budget, level 4 multicurve.

@pakman184 Месяц назад

@Grooove_e 7Lbs is on the heavy side for Level 4, it's only lightweight in the budget category. Putting an M2AP round into a 300win casing also makes no difference at all as long as the target velocities are met, as you're still slinging the same projectile at the same speed. The M995 stops are fairly impressive though, I'll give it that.

@BuffRANGE Месяц назад

Bear in mind level IV is ONE and ONE single shot of M2AP, COM. Even RF3 is the same spec. There is no requirement even under CPL to do more. The plate did its job. I would agree that the front and back of the strike face need to be laminated just like the 1092 and even like Tacticon level IV I demo’d. If RMA wants to “ease the pain”/rebuild public confidence, they need to CPL this, the 1155, 1092 and 1192. :)

@BuffRANGE Месяц назад

The pass through of m2ap is at the NIJ spec of 2,880. But the NIJ level IV spec is one single hit. There’s no multi hit spec for M2AP.

@cc-vg4ed Месяц назад

@@pakman184 7lbs is on the heavy side for level IV?!?!?! The top selling plates in the industry are 7+lbs. The lightest plate on the NIJ list is Hesco 4601 at 6.4lbs for swimmer and 6.6lbs for sapi 10x12s.

I noticed you haven’t been testing m993 on your level 4’s lately? Or do you figure it will go through them all from the 22 inch

@BuffRANGE Месяц назад

It pretty much wrecks any level IV from 16" and longer and sometimes even from the 13". At $70/each, unless a manufacturer expresses the ability to potentially stop it, I don't throw it around as much :D

@user-oy9zy4ds9m Месяц назад

Good to hear cuz its my go to shtf round. I got whole combat loadout worth of it and im investing in a real nice AR10 and LPVO setup around it too. I think its the quite force multiplier and necessary in a world where seemingly everyone has level 4 armor these since its cheap and widely available. Also gives advantage if adversaries are behind hard cover.

Testing against 6.5 creedmoor when?

@BuffRANGE 17 дней назад

6.5 Creedmoor is primarily a hunting/target round. There is not a wide fielding of Military style loads. This plate is stopping 30 caliber threats at 300 WinMag velocities. Effectively to these materials the available 6.5 CM rounds are like .308 ball.

@TheGunNerd 17 дней назад

@BuffRANGE yes but many militaries (us included) dmrs and snipers are beginning to use creedmoor, and with the popularity of it civilian side it may be worth at the very least looking at. Plus, with higher velocity and less surface area it may pen what 30 cal doesn't
