Open Source Armor Project Part III: the Jay Leno edition

[Andrew Wiggin]

This version is constructed of 3 PEI grade 4 tiles backed by 16 gauge steel and covered with some old denim. Everything is adhered together with Liquid Nails. We shoot it with one round each of Wolf Gold .223 55 gr FMJ (M193 clone) and 7.62x51mm LC M80 FMJ, and 8 rounds of .45 Auto 230 gr FMJ. Which, if any of these, do you think are stopped? Bear in mind that level III steel armor is defeated by M193. The poll has multiple options. Don't cheat. Make your prediction before you watch the test.

That's interesting. Why the Jay Leno edition? Leno isn't gun friendly, IIRC.

 

[Andrew Wiggin]

Because it's covered in denim.

I voted that it would stop them all. Cool test.

I was right and wrong.
