AR550 Body Armor Shooters Cut Set Of Two

  Spartan Armor AR500 bulletproof vest plates hold a 500 Brinell Hardness rating, a scale used to rate the hardness of steel and various other materials. The higher a ballistic plate’s Brinell rating, the harder the steel that’s in the body armor. Higher Brinell ratings also means that it can stop faster velocity and heavier caliber rounds without penetrating the plate or going beyond the maximum acceptable indentation or backforce deformation. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has set a backforce deformation maximum of 44 millimeters.   Benefits of AR500 Steel Plates   AR500 bulletproof vest plates are made of high carbon tempered steel, which is abrasion resistant and strong enough to prevent or minimize injuries to the wearer. Steel is a great alternative to ceramic composite plates due to being less expensive. That being said, steel ballistic armor plates are slightly heavier (individually weighing eight to ten pounds each), they are thinner and the comfort level is abou
