We started this test by firing two 7.62 x 51 mm NATO M80 Ball (148 grain) rounds from a Tikka T3 Tactical rifle at 2,780 feet
per second, or 847 metres per second. The two shots were fired toward the centre of our stand-alone Level III hard armor
plate at 25 yards.
five more shots to the same level III hard armor plate — using an assault rifle.
A law enforcement agent might survive shots from a first attacker – but what if there is another? After the initial two strikes
of NATO M80 Ball rounds, we fired five additional 7.62 x 39 mm mild steel core (123 grain) rounds from a CZ-858 – similar to
an AK-47 assault rifle – at 2,400 feet per second, or 732 metres per second. These shots were fired at point blank range (5 yards).
the plate was not penetrated. and the backface swelling decreased with each bullet strike
Displacements on the backface signature were well beneath the NIJ standard. And with each subsequent shot fired, the amount
of swelling on the backface signature actually decreased, because of our unique energy distribution system and three-layer design.
