I am thinking; If you got shot with a slug at 10 feet away while wearing body armor, you're probably going to wish you didn't survive. At least at first. LOL
I've heard mixed bag reviews on them all over RU-vid, reddit, etc. Not being NIJ Certified, but being NIJ accredited. I've been on the fence for their products for quite some time now.. this video helps.
All of a sudden in the desert from that lushy green environment..? :D These armour tests are always interesting. I used to wear one type or another for about 2 decades and saw them evolve quite a bit. In the FDF I often wore a 90's style full combat body armour with ceramic plates AND the entire battle gear on top of it.. Really restricted the use of the rifle and especially anything tossable since the shoulder pieces hinged you down when throwing.. It weighed like 30lbs/13kilos for f*** sake.. and the battle harness was another 30lbs. plus the rifle and that 2lbs./kilo helmet on top.. xD Funny thing is though that after all these so called "tactical" stuff thrown at these vests all it takes is an old hunting rifle to slice right through it.. And from a good bit of distance as well..
This is equivalent to a huge muscular dude hitting you with a sledgehammer in the chest without breaking the skin. Lots horrendous bruising, shattered ribs and concussions, beats being penetrated though. 🤷🏻♂️
Under a thickass jacket anything is concealable. Don't think that constitutes use of the word "concealable." Unless you did it some other way then please do tell lol
I bought a Remington v3 shotgun after 3rd shoulder surgery. Not sure it's the softest shooting but way better than the old 870. Anyone can chime in on this subject with personal experience, I'd like to hear the information as well
@@redneckninja2539 Thank you, yeah the one I heard the most is the Beretta A400 Extreme but would also like to know more about what ppl with shoulder issues shoot in terms of shotguns. Also heard of shooting low recoil shells but those won't run in a semi-auto shotgun very reliably and would still like to shoot common ammunition that's found everywhere.
So I won’t be buying safe life armor… this is the moment I’m realizing I need level iiii cause if these fuckers decide to invade America they’re gunna use rifles not hand guns…
As an anethetist working on a Level 1 Trauma team, I take care of a lot of GSW victims in the operating room. It's pretty remarkable how survivable most wounds outside the area covered by these vests are... Since most big city shootings are with pistols, you would dramatically increase your odds of surviving in the event you do get shot while wearing one. I bought one of these and look forward to testing wear-ability and comfort in practical clothing here in Hotlanta.
Lol I don’t think you would my brother, it would be quite the painful death indeed. I’d be like, “hey let me take this armor off first bro so I die faster!”
I wear this everyday for work as a federal security officer in Washington DC. My company only got me a level 2a. This is definitely worth the price and piece of mind.
I’ve worn level lllA for years and that was the minimum for my employer. Definitely shown here the product is very capable of making sure you live during a firefight.
Also on the website this armor was not advertised to stop rifles, but they do have a module rifle plate you can change in and out and it does work with the concealed vest.
Just ordered the bundle last week. It comes the ceramic plates (not stand alone) and a tactical vest. I've seen other reviews, but it is always good to see I have made a good purchase.
Before the slug you should have turned the vest around because the front is already shattered from the previous rounds.of course the rounds are going to go through
The advertising for IIIA+ Side Armor Panels 6" x 8" is very misleading. I purchased 2 sets and all 4 panels measured 4"5/8 x 7"1/4 inches. The weight on Safe Life Defense website says 0.5 pounds for a set. The actual weight is 13.1 ounces for cut down versions of what they advertise as there 15% more coverage.
Nice JM pro, mine runs like a cheetah on cocaine. I put over 1100 rounds through it before I got a malfunction and it ran cheap Walmart bulk pack right from the box.
@@NatsaryahTX their website would tell you to get a medium. I actually bought a medium at first because I figured I wanted room for growth if I, for whatever reason, gained ten or more pounds. It was huge around my chest and there was so much overlap around the sides that I couldn’t properly Velcro it together. When you do a size exchange, they ask you to send pictures so they have an idea of what size you should go to. They ended up suggesting a 2XS for me, and it’s slightly too small. I’m most likely going to have another size exchange done so that I get true wrap around coverage instead of having an inch gap on either side.
Have you seen any information regarding the Stealth Armor Systems Hexar system? It seems to live in obscurity and there are some name issues regarding the guy who seems to be in charge. I guess he used to be involved with the dragon skin project.. I can’t find any real information besides some old forum threads
Anyone stab these things? I'm a corrections deputy and am much more likely to get stabbed than shot. This is the only stab resistant armor I can find on their site, but I'd like to see how "Level 1" looks in practice.
iv been running there IIIa+ for about a year now for work. it takes a WHILE for it to break in, and the carrier it comes with is trash. i went and got a safari land carrier and it made it fit much better and concealed better. All tho depending on your body type it might not conceal as well as a fitted set of armor.
He said that *SafeLife paid for him to visit and provided what he needed to make the video... So, if they are in Vegas, then that is where he was shooting this. I was wondering the same, and just caught him saying that at the end of the video.
I need some help. I’m in California and I’m building a AR15. It’s a BCM upper. I need a good break/or comp that does NOT reduce flash at all due to these retarded laws. Does anyone know of one that will not kill the eardrums of the shooter next to me? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
Thread cover. Linear compensator. This will add weight to the front of your gun but it sends all the blast and flash forward. Also, since it’s basically a barrel extension, no jack boot is going to try and jam you over hider vs. brake vs. compensator.
Is it me or does that rubber dummy appear to have African American features? Specifically the wide flat nose. Is this some kind of subliminal message (or killing motivation).
Just bought the package deal for myself and my son. He will get the level 4 plate carrier with added side plates and I will have this setup. They say you can level 4 this 3a+ stuff with steel plates. What type would I need, will they fit the conceal carrier, and steel in front or behind soft? Might be a stupid question to some, but I've never worn, and have only been shooting for 7 or 8 yrs now.
You could effectively improve the stopping ability of the vest and reduce the blunt force of impact to some extent. However, the density of soft armor plates makes them heavy. So stacking two well made soft plates, front and rear in your vest would probably be at the point of diminishing returns. At that point, you'd probably just want to get hard armor.
Any one else think level 3a vests(with the exception of more body coverage and comfort) are still viable for protection? I'm just curious because it seems with the more and more use of rifles by criminals, it would be much better to get atleast level 3 armor when plates are getting lighter(UHMWPE, ceramic, anything but steel). IMO with the price of this vest, one could get level 3 UHMWPE plates and a plate carrier for roughly the same cost and weighs similar.
Yes because when you look at crime statistics handguns are many times more common than rifles. If you want rifle plates go for it, but in many roles I think IIIA still has merit.
@@Murphy82nd Too me it's like gambling. One may get shot by handgun, one may get shot by a rifle, hopefully one won't get shot at all. But as I work as armed security, it seems having armor that covers all threats is the best of both worlds. Peace at mind so to speak
@@pocketsand4404 sure, but not every prospective buyer works armed security. The carrier for this supposedly has slots that would fit ceramic plates if you wanted. If you don’t mind the weight or bulk and you think it’s important for your job by all means step up to better protection. Be aware though of both this and any budget options if they’re made in China and don’t have any NIJ certification, especially if it’s your job.
I just picked up a tac carrier vest, concealed carrier vest, 3a+ soft plates, 2 Level IV ICW Rifle Plates, 3a+ side armor inserts, and with custom patches for the tac vest for $1,079, pretty good price I think
