Level 3 Multi-Hit Protection

Overview

Level 3 armor is designed to provide robust protection against high-powered rifle threats. Specifically engineered for durability and resilience, this armor is capable of withstanding multiple impacts from rifle rounds, making it ideal for military, law enforcement, and civilian applications where higher levels of threat are anticipated.

 

Ballistic Protection

 

​Against 7.62 mm FMJ, Steel Jacketed Bullets

Level 3 armor offers protection against 7.62 mm full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets with steel jackets. These bullets are commonly used in military rifles and are known for their ability to penetrate targets effectively. The armor is crafted to stop these projectiles, thus safeguarding the wearer from serious injury or fatality.

 

Multi-Hit Capability

 

One of the standout features of Level 3 armor is its multi-hit capability. It can withstand:

• Up to 6 rifle rounds

• Sized up to 7.62x51 mm or .308 caliber

• Impacting at speeds of up to 2780 feet per second (ft/s)

This level of protection ensures that even under sustained fire, the wearer can remain protected, making it highly reliable in combat or high-threat environments.

 

Testing and Standards

 

Level 3 armor is rigorously tested to meet established ballistic standards. Testing typically involves subjecting the armor to controlled conditions where it must stop the specified number and type of rounds at a distance of 15 meters. This ensures that the armor performs as expected under real-world conditions, providing confidence and peace of mind to the wearer.

 

Usage Scenarios

​

Level 3 armor is suitable for:

• Military personnel operating in war zones

• Law enforcement officers in active shooter situations

• Civilians in high-risk areas seeking maximum protection

Its ability to stave off multiple high-velocity impacts makes it a preferred choice for those who may face repeated gunfire.

 

Conclusion

​

Level 3 multi-hit protection armor is an essential piece of equipment for anyone facing potential threats from high-powered rifles. Its design and testing ensure that it can provide reliable protection in critical situations, maintaining safety and security for its users.
