official NIJ certification is meaningless going to be honest with you. We have NIJ cert plates that are garbage, and non NIJ Cert plates that aren't garbage, Not to mention that NIJ cert is heavily outdated which is proven by Adept. It's merely a cop rating not even the US military uses it and for a reason.

The SARVIP armor was a system/family of both plates and carriers issued to air crews. As far as i know there have been multiple plate variations that were made but only one was actually issued. The plate that was issued was able to stop Russian 12.7 B32 ammunition. The other plate variants were able to stop 14.5mm ammunition and 15.2mm ammunition. While the SARVIP system as a whole was far too heavy to be practical for anything other than use by vehicle crews, i believe the latter un-issued plates remained un-issued because they were far too heavy to be practical for even air crews.

I wonder if the ceramic thickness is required, they probably did a lot of testing making these. I wonder if if it had multiple tiles if it could have stopped two. The shock from the first shot allowed it to go through, apparently ceramic is the only thing that can stop the round. In the back of my head I am thinking, if you used a cheap RMA 1155 with extra polythene plate, possibly it would stop a M2AP. Having separated tiles is very important I guess. Another idea is what if you used a regular plate with a light weight metal backer that would take the impact punch, maybe a thin titanium or foam metal.

I wonder if a heat treated aluminum plate in the back of armor would help out with backface, might be something somebody should try

@curgunner Год назад

Probably end up with an issue of it making armor too thick

@azeke8 4 месяца назад

Heated treated aluminium (2000, 6000 and 7000 series) is rather brittle and would absorb less energy than 5083 aluminium. Constraining UHMWPE too much would decrease the energy being absorbed by it, in turn possibly leading to penetration. Polycarbonate sheet is sometimes used in “soft armor” inserts to reduce the backface. I think it could be worth a try in this case to use 1/8” (3 mm) polycarbonate sheet followed by foam to reduce the back face.

@andrewdrozd847 3 месяца назад

Might be late to this party, I don't feel like reading 270+ comments. For an attempt to make accurate measurements on the clay briefcase, add some flat bar to the front face of the case that is welded to the frame and stencil on some grid lines. Then make a jig your depth gauge can mount to that uses that front face "picture frame" as a reference surface. For those familiar with woodworking, think of it like a router sled for flattening. From there, load the plate, take measurements of the plate's peak points after securing, log it, let the booger hook and the bang switch do their thing, measure the depth, subtract the plate thickness, and BOOM, reasonably accurate measurements. Or just keep having fun, I was entertained.

Last year I bought level 4 PGD plates and had them shipped to Poland, myself and a family member both had to complete paperwork (me because I was the one purchasing them and family member because it was her address). Then another export form to get them to Ukraine. The Adept Colossus plates I bought this year it was just the one form for the family members address. The Adept plates didn't require an export permit to Ukraine since they weren't NIJ certified

@troyganator338 Год назад

@rafalo2323 hi rafalo, it was mostly just import/export paperwork and declaration that you aren't a criminal, PGD handled most of the import export paperwork from Denmark to Poland. I found it very interesting that it's legal to own body armour in Poland but you can't buy it in Poland, it can only be imported. For getting it to Ukraine we are supposed to contact the Ukraine Embassy in Poland and get permission to export it, since NIJ4 plates are an ITAR controlled item.

@@majkiboy86 Maybe broken ribs, but thicker plates have been given to soldiers to resist .50 AP without causing injuries. It just seems like this specific one is too light/thin to save the user from injuries.

@mekingtiger9095 Год назад

Suplementary trauma plates for padding exist for exactly this reason. They disperse the impact over a larger surface area and deform underneath the hard plate in the place of your bones. Think of it like putting one or two pillows in front of your chest to mitigate the effects of an incoming punch. Or gambeson/cloth cushioning used by knights to do the same against maces and warhammers. The basic concept is the same.

@Plastikdoom Год назад

Definitely impressive, not to burst anyone’s bubble, but if you made a plate out of the right grade of titanium. And was 1” thick…it could stop 30mm AP from like 130 yds or so, maybe even closer…I’d hate to see what that cost though, haha, so it would be slimmer and about the same weight, and probably cost twice as much at least as that plate.

I really want a heavier level IV that integrates steel or titanium to reduce backface deformation. Stopping a round is pointless if your lungs and liver get popped...

@stahlhelmturtle9822 Год назад

Steel is horrible for blunt trauma mitigation and titanium is even worse. In modern armored sports like buhurt, titanium helmets are banned due to how bad they are at preventing blunt trauma.

@stuartlunsford7556 Год назад

@@stahlhelmturtle9822 I agree that titanium has a downside, but I haven't seen any study with 3/8" TI plate. Thick enough steel always excels in preventing backface. The problem is the weight of steel. Level III plate steel will take dozens of hits at the rated level. Level IV steel would do the same, but it would be ~3/4" thick, not something anyone could wear all day.

@stahlhelmturtle9822 Год назад

@@stuartlunsford7556 the steel plate itself might not deform, but there's a reason that steel armor companies recommend users wear trauma pads behind the plates, since steel will transfer most of the blunt force into the wearer when hit.

@@BuffRANGE adapt has the tech now. Make a standard level 4 not a level 4 plus plate. Needs to be 1” thick or less to fit modern plate carriers.
