    I don’t know what the story is aboit, but my point is that modern Level 4 plates are specifically designed to stop rifle rounds.

    Here is video of one plate being shot with AP 30.06 followed by 5 hits from 5.56 without enough of a bulge to even bruise. Then they shoot another plate with a 7.62x54r round powerful enough it jams the bolt on the 91/30 they’re shooting it from.

    The only way they actually manage to penetrate the armor is with an AP .50 BMG shooting through the 2 damaged plates from the previous tests.
