This video debunks common myths about RMA Body Armor by subjecting a Level IIIA polyethylene plate to extreme testing. Eddie from Brownells submerges the armor in a pond for a week, then blast it with a high-pressure fire hose. Finally, the plate is tested with Federal American Eagle XM193 5.56x45mm NATO rounds at close range. The video demonstrates that the RMA armor remains intact under these conditions, emphasizing its durability against water submersion and ballistic threats. The only failure occurred when fire was concentrated on a single spot, independent of water exposure. The video concludes with a score of 3-0 in favor of RMA armor against online 'keyboard jockeys' and asks viewers for future test suggestions.
