This video from Civilian Tactical Science Lab tests the effectiveness of $30 Chinese UHMWPE body armor plates against various calibers, from .22 LR to .454 Casull and rifle rounds like .223. While the armor stops many projectiles, the video highlights significant back face deformation (BFD), posing a serious injury risk. The lack of NIJ certification is a major concern. The reviewer suggests potential non-body applications for the armor, such as protecting bags or vehicles, but strongly advises caution for personal protection due to its low cost and ethical risks.
