This YouTube video from @thearmoredrepublic investigates the phenomenon of steel armor spalling. Spalling refers to the fragmentation of projectiles or armor plating upon impact. The video aims to clarify myths surrounding this topic, likely involving live fire demonstrations or material analysis to understand how different types of steel armor react to various ammunition. The content appears to be geared towards individuals interested in ballistics, armor penetration, and the practical performance of defensive materials.
This video debunks the common myth that 'Level III+' body armor has a standardized requirement to stop specific rounds (X, Y, or Z). The creator explains that 'Level III+' is not an official NIJ standard and is used to indicate armor exceeding Level III but not meeting Level IV. Consequently, there are no set minimum stopping requirements, and each manufacturer may define its 'Level III+' capabilities differently. Viewers are advised to check manufacturer specifications for accurate information on what their armor can stop. A link to understanding NIJ Standards and Predator Armor's Level III+ offerings is provided.
