Hey all, looking for some feedback on the durability of ceramic body armor. I have a pair of Velocity Systems Level IV standalone ceramic armor dated manufacture in 2013. I took the plates out of my plate carrier to look over and inspect, then I decided to show my wife one of the plates as it's up against my chest. First thing she decides to do is come up to me and punch me in the plate! Thank god she wasn't wearing her rings.

So I've heard ceramic can be fragile from dropping, but how well do they hold up to punches? Am I simply overthinking this?
