Protech Impac ST Ballistic Plate

[Ac1DGoD]

lets see how it handles fire from a Smith&Wesson 500 magnum now...?

[jabolyn]

body armor is not restricted. u can buy it anywhere. its illegal to felons

[rvc212]

its a TRAUMA plate people...without it the vest will still stop the round, what the plate does is take the impact force out of stopping your heart. hence the size and location of the plate.

[atttactical]

So the fact that Safariland lost the NYPD contract to an upstart company shouldn't affect your choice of ballistic vest companies?

[oddcarl1]

To everybody who is complaining about the size of the plate.... It's only a demostration piece! This kind of stuff is expensive to manufacture, so why ruin a whole vest of it for demonstrations. It's pretty damn obvious that a single 5x10 plate wouldn't protect you, these people are not idoits.

[ScientologySucksAss]

"Liquid Armor" is better and can buy all the chemicals you need off of Ebay. Soft Kevlar into hard armor for dirt cheap compaired too the price of plates.

Soaking your kevlar in shear thickening fluids is a revolution in armor.

[sam929rr]

@ScientologySucksAss were would i be able to get info to make it???????

[seriousninja]

It is funny how smaller and smaller they tend to make these plates...

I suppose you will draw a target and say hey shoot me only on the plate...:P

[RayAir1]

Put some real rounds into that plate. How about SS109 5.7x29, Tokarev 7.62x25?

9mm, 40, and 45 are all easily stopped by most any soft body armor.

[stealthbeast]

I know it's probably been said a million times but this thing is like... what? A 5x10 inch plate? The only thing this protects is your heart, and only from 1 angle.

Take this material and make a vest.

[roachofdoom1234]

@stealthbeast maybe even a full suit

[landgrader6]

Body armor is awesome!

[AmdGod]

@landgrader6

[2bidfilmsguy]

the thing only covers the middle of your chest it wouldnt even cover your all of your lungs, if you want to buy trauma plates or seramic body armor search it on google there are lots of manufacturers but dont get your hopes up they will sometimes sell them to civilians but normally you have to have some millitary or police status

[AmdGod]

@2bidfilmsguy You can buy them on ebay all day long

[labartic]

@2bidfilmsguy egi tactical sells to civilians.

[2bidfilmsguy]

@labartic cool i actually found that out a while ago but im not going to go and spend 300 dollars on some soft armor(behind the hard plate) and a 650-1200 dollar ceramic plate just cause. maybe if i was going into combat i would.

[gjetodoraci]

or maybe 5.7 x 28

[robert5742]

hi can someone please tell me where i can buy one of this trauma plates

[Rydiak]

Restricted item. Not a toy.

[robert5742]

@Rydiak what do u mean its not a toy i have a vest and i think i know how to use it so dont be tellin me there not toys

[zack9912000]

Impressive, but I will stick with my pinnacle armor vest.

[doodahead1]

Polyethylene is 10 times stronger than steel?!

Should have used FMJ rounds instead, and I think a light alloy metal plate will help distribute the energy to the body surface so trauma can be minimal.

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

stopped a slug, sweet.

[biohax]

Wait, can this be used by itself in a plate carrier like soft armor plates?

[hunter15234]

Try a 7.62x54r steel core or full metal jacket 30-06.

[AKlover]

Try some hot 7.62X25 on the next test.

[amcmgmt]

Great thing with GLOCKS however is you can have all 5 calibers 9mm, 40SW, 357SIG, .45ACP, & 10mm with only 2 guns. I have had zero failures of any kind with these caliber conversions. However for 9mm out of a G31 must change extractor/ejector/mag for 100% reliability - same goes for from .45 - 10mm. Lots of fun and its great to know you can shoot most any caliber around. Cost me about $1150-1200 total. IMHO GLOCKS rule due to their simplicity. You can change calibers or any part in seconds.

[spiralsoflight]

This body armor is cool but I need help finding videos of carbon steel plates and titanium plates for car armor. I can't find one video with someone shooting at heavy metal plates.

[ladydragon7777]

now try hollowpoints and tiped hollowpoints lol see how it holds up

[razorseal]

those are hollow points dumbass... wtf is a tiped hollowpoint? LOL

[alehax27]

that's a tiny plate.

[bearsfan1294]

lots of broken ribs for you

[askAlanNow]

Take your pick. Being dead or a few broken ribs.

[AKlover]

If you ribs are broken in a gunfight youd better pray you have backup or you will likely be finished off soon after.

[activemode]

Something is better than nothing... At least you can go home to your wife, once you get out of the hospital. It's a poor man's insurance policy.

[TerroristLarryPhillp]

it's a TRUMA PLATE" that is extra the protection is inside the vest that lil pouch is too add a TRUMA PLATE" and usually trama plates is in the back of the vest and trama protection

[mosdef1986]

it only overs like 1/10 of ur fucking chest.

take a round to ur heart and ur dead

[airpro689]

Your sternum would be shattered

[gjetodoraci]

try tt33

[Patastrancas]

hahah 357 sig is your daddy you dont show the 357sig bullets the fiveseven vrs impact st you now the results

[GotIt123]

The ST has an NIJ rating for 357 sig. And the 5.7 round (the hollowpoint and V-max) are boths stopped by 3a panels. The ST is a 3a stand alone and stops other "special threats" with a 3a panel behind it.

You do know that you can't sell pistol rounds that pierce 3a soft armor in the US do you?? Thats why the SS190 (5.7) round is not for sale.

Apparently you "now" hype, not "the results".

P.S. Stop hyping calibers just becuase you like them, its just stupid. Really clear by the "hahah".

[IntriguingReptiles]

Wow!...so the .357 SIG actually penetrated the ST (at 4:17)??? Impressive! I just passed on a good deal for a .357 SIG mainly because of my hatred for really snappy recoil, but I may just have to get one now. Would be great against hard targets. If only XD would make a sub-compact .357 SIG. I hate Glocks and am Not a Sig Sauer Fan. Anyway, awesome video and neat product!

[J14ernandez]

I think the brand of bullets had to with the penetration of the 357 sig! He used cor-bon are known for their high velocity.

[smir32]

The .357sig itself is known for its high velocity. Even with cheap ammo vs cheap ammo it`s still the one of the best penetrating rounds. The great thing is hollow points in sig won`t over penatrate a human body just whats in front of it like a car door or such. Thats why the Secret Service use this caliber.

I also have a 45 and a 9mm but this is my favorite caliber. 45(Glock 21) for no armor, 9mm for size (pm9)

[viperbo21]

Cool vid.
