M855A1 vs TTM/Spartan level III+ steel armor

[Andrew Wiggin]

Feel free to make your predictions before watching the test. The conditions are: M855A1 fired from a 20" Colt AR-15 A2 vs The Target Man/Spartan Armor systems level III+ Armaply ATC. This is a brand new product that has only been on the market for a couple weeks. To help put it in perspective, this is my earlier test of M193 on the same plate: https://youtu.be/6RGdXv8YMFA

And another channel's test of M855A1 on a different company's level III+ plate:

Finally, here is the M855A1 test:

Pre-video prediction: I'm not familiar with the armor being tested, but with the 20" Barrel and hardened tip I'm thinking you may be pushing just enough velocity to overcome the armor.

Where are you getting A1 anyways?

It was donated.

That round is impressive

I wonder what its effect on the armour is at 100 or 200 yards.

I'd love to test that, but I don't have any more.

Impressive result. (I cheated and watched the video before commenting)

Lol, we'll just keep it between the two of us.
