Default Steel Core 7.62x54R vs. AR500 Armor® Body Armor

7.62x54R and all its glory fails to penetrate AR500 Armor® Level III Body Armor. Fired from a Romanian PSL (Dragunov look alike) we send (5) Steel Core 147 grain Military Surplus rounds down range at just 30 yards into our Level III Body Armor; pulled straight from the production line backed by our 70lb ballistic gelatin torso.

View our full line of Level III Body Armor here: http://www.ar500armor.com/ar500-armor-body-armor.html

I'm looking for the same thing.

The narration in this video says it's the "standard Paxcon build up" so does that mean the standard Paxcon layer the plates come with or does it mean the optional additional build up done to the standard thickness and not anything one-off thickness for this test?

That's one of the reasons I asked. They say they are the build up but they sure look thin compared to photos I've seen of the build up version.

I'm debating whether to get the build up or get Kevlar pads/inserts.

Plates plates in this test video did have our PAXCON build up coat.
