Level III Patrol Armor Test

[DocGKR]

"Any updates with newer ammo? TSX, 64gr JSP, MK 318, etc?"

5.56 mm 50-70 gr TSX, 62-64 gr bonded JSP, MK318 make no difference for LIII plates--5.56 mm M193, SS109/M855, M855A1 are the threats that must be defeated by LIII plates.

[TiroFijo]

Doc, is M855A1 the largest threat to level III plates? Or are there cases where higher velocity M193 outperforms it at short range?

[Hillbilly]

Doc,
How is the bfd on the ami tac3s if not wearing soft armor underneath? I understand they are stand alone but should you really make an attempt at getting soft underneath as well regardless of time at hand?

[DocGKR]

Hillbilly--I am not concerned about BFD behind the Tac3S.

TiroFijo--M855A1 is a tough LIII threat to stop.

I don't believe that Doc is posting here any longer. Others can explain.
