Tacticon Armament Level III+ Steel Armor Demo!

You couldn't hit your straps if you tried. Bolt action rifle with a scope and you tried calling your shots a 45yds or was that feet? Laughable.

In God's year 2024, there is no reason to wear steel armor. Just mine and the big man upstairs opinion. 😂

I use Hicom AR1000 steel.
May hold up, may not.
You try, I'll watch.

Wow... lvl 3+ that cant stop steel core 5.56. Green tips arent even "armor piercing" rounds. If it were black tips with a tungsten carbide core id expect it to rip through... weird that .308 stopped but green tip went thru.

Thanks for testing. If you wanted to squeeze more juice and have more value, see if you can report/show any frage.

I wonder at what velocity this plate is significant and exactly when it fails.

My man, with the Rocko’s Modern Life shirt, a real sign of a OG 🤌

Trying to flex bro? Check mine out. 😳

That makes me laugh, "this is a scar "pistol". lol. ATF is a joke.

Great video…..Do you have a video on the Ar500 A1 plates??

I love all of these armor tests. I always see reviewers worried about the coating and stuff separating. Does it really matter? As long as the armor does it job you wont be keeping that plate around for future use lol.

Thank you

The spalling would still probably kill you so what’s the point?

Question? I am new to this and doing research. Is this plate supposed to stop most of these? Isn’t this bad ?

Tacticon replaces the plates for free, with a police report, after you've been shot.

I thought AR500-600 is supposed to stop m193???

Ive seen a few of those spall hackets tested and it seems like nonsense. It kught be because its not tight enough around plates or something hut it seemed to barely slow down spall. It barely slowed ot down. Still got about 80 percent penetration out of spall through the jackets. I think id personally rather trust a thick coating

Damn. Theres really no armor that can stop m193 AND m855 yet?? NIJ needs to fix thise bullshit standards honestly. It seems like their standards are based on stone age technology. Idk. Scams.

Have you done the predator steel Kevlar coated ? Level 3

Why people hate soo much steel plates ?

I've heard duct taping the coating to the plate to mitigate spalling from multiple hits, keeping the coating against the plate. Seems to make sense but I've yet to find any review that does that. However I'd also assume keeping it snug in a carrier would accomplish the same thing. Great testing though! I'm gonna mostly be worried about the local crack head and not the alphabet showing up to my door so I plunked the money down on some of these from Tacticon. Great sale with plate carrier so why not?

Is buying their plate carrier and two of theese plates worthy of $150 ?

Air plane crew

I thot this armor was suppose to stop everything you shot at it in this video? And i just bought 2 differnt sets from them on a good deal. It was ar500 plates 3+ and there battle vest lite for 150 and then there original battle vest with ar600 3+ plates for 225. Anyone think i should of saved my money and went else where or got different plates?

i would like to see tests using some quality duct tape around the plate to keep the frag coating tight to the steel.

Could you test steelops steel plates.

Just order two plates and a carrier from them for 150 for that price you can’t beat it

Bravo! Great video! Great sarcasm, facts and salesmen ship!

So did they fix the problem then because you guys say that it will stop these rounds but apparently it didn’t

If SHTF you might want steel plates for multi-hit capability. If your using Ceramic plates and take multiple hits and it cracks, your out of the fight. Won't be able to order new ones if everything is shut down.

Well, TA is lying on their info. I own 2- 10×12 3+ frag coated. You get what you pay for. The only saving grace i have is our criminals like to run around with 10" AR pistols and 10" AK's. Jumping to Diritium plates now. Piggy bank get ready.

Does steel armor desitegrade when hit? And do you think those rounds (from this video hitting the steel armor) would break ribs? AND if a 50 bmg ap were op against 1 inch of ar500 and didn't go through. Would that man still be in the fight er would he die of blunt force trauma?

How in the world did you get your hands on m855A1 it’s beyond hard to find and out right illegal to take but not own

What is best overall heavy armor max protection, lightest (so more expensive) multi curv ceramic plate available for purchase ? I don’t care how expensive it is

I don’t get why companies don’t go extra thick on the edges or wrap it in Kevlar then spray it, and put another layer of Kevlar and spray it again

Glad I found this video before buying these lws600 from tacticon. It says right on the plate they'll stop m855a1. Clearly not the case.

Maybe Tacticon products are not as good as they claim

This is the kind of test that's interesting to watch...Now with all this armor bonanza either get unalived or world of pain!@

The website says this plate is rated for m193 out of a 20 inch barrel going 3200 fps. Did they have anything to say about that or

Do you recommend this armor plate

WTF I have these plates, they say right on it it'll stop m855a1, 308, 300 win mag? Time to get a refund I guess

Buffman thank you for your videos. Could you do another test with the tacticon plates as far as fragmentation and the spalling cover coming off. I have an idea that I think may mitigate that and make those plate better and that would be duck taping the edge and then using shrink wrap that goes around pallets and boxes. If you wrap the plates around the side and around the top multiple times and developed a thick seal would it contain the fragments. Thank you sir.

Appreciate this video still will purchase with their Black Friday deal going on now

Can you test steel armor at a 45 degree impact against some of the rounds that defeated it head on? Noone has done it and I think it would provide valuable info since your target won't always be standing straight infront of you.

Thanks for taking the time to share these tests ! I actually have this armor so it was very interesting

would be interesting to see some combined. laminated armor like HDPE sandwiched between steel to reduce back deformation and give a harder striking face.

The K.O.A.D has been lifting! Haha great work as always!

Where can we get some M855 A1 ammo Mr Matt?

Esapi gen 3 S?

Fwiw, Tacticon's rifle bags are 100% chinesium and IIRC their 36" bag is actually more like 32"-33". They claim it is 36" diagonally....
