ballistics plate | Forum

Check if the ballistics plate you choose is the right level of protection for your situation. Protection levels are categorized by standards such as the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) in the USA and define what types of bullets and projectiles the plate can stop. Choose a plate that fits your needs and risks. Consider the different materials used to make ballistic plates, such as ceramics, aramid fibers, steel, composites, and others. Each material has advantages and disadvantages depending on the level of protection, weight, thickness and cost.
