A lighter weight Silicon Carbide plate that exceeds Mil Spec SAPI performance! You don't get the full Level IV Armor-Piercing rating with the Mil Spec for SAPI, as it is designed to stop common military rifle threats when used with an Interceptor OTV / IBAS or Level III-A vest supporting.

The US Military SAPI (Small Arms Protective Insert) mil-spec requires survivability of 3 hits total from an AK-47, M-16 or Dragunov. Plus we have also tested for the 7.62 X 39mm API - Armor Piercing Incendiary threat and .308 FMJ.

Caliber	Bullet	Typical Weapon
7.62 X 39mm	API Armor Piercing Incendiary	AK-47
5.56 x 45mm .223	M855 aka Green Tip .223 or SS-109	M-16
7.62 × 51mm .308 Winchester	FMJ aka NATO ball	Battle Rifles and Machine Guns
7.62 × 54mm	Russian Light Penetrating Steel (R LPS)	Dragunov Sniper Rifle

Note that Level IV is a little tougher round to stop than the SAPI mil-spec. Level IV is a .3006 Armor-Piercing round, while the SAPI test is for the slower Russian Light Penetrating Steel round.

Why You Want BulletProofME to Ship Your Ceramic Plates ANY Ceramic Rifle Plate can be damaged if abused - especially if dropped on its' corner. They are not delicate, like fine tea china, but, on the other hand, FedEx and UPS folks are notorious for being rough with packages. So, every Ceramic Plate we ship FedEx or UPS is bubble-wrapped, and then DOUBLE-boxed with lots of padding to survive rough handling. We overpack, so that it would take a lot of obvious abuse to do any damage. We stake our reputation of over ten years on doing it right.  Don't buy a plate that just gets thrown in a box and shipped out.

*** These Rifle Plates stop the specified rounds ONLY WHEN COMBINED WITH THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL VEST

MUST be combined with the appropriate vest to get the full ballistic protection.

Note: Large and XL plates require Extra-Large Rifle Plate pockets, which we can provide on some ProMAX models, or the appropriate size Interceptor OTV, or you can use a modular Rifle Plates Over-Vest Carrier.

 

WARNING:  U.S. EXPORT CONTROL LAWS Level III and IV armor (Rifle Plates) fall under the jurisdiction of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and are subject to the export control laws of the U.S. Government. Export or retransfer of Rifle Plates by any means to any foreign end user, or for any other end use, whether in the U.S. or abroad, without the written approval of the U.S. Department of State, is prohibited. There is often an exemption for a U.S. person taking their personal protection with them in their luggage, and returning the armor to the US.  For the requirements, click here.

Ceramic Rifle Plates are NOT RETURNABLE
(except for warranty).

Ceramic Rifle Plates can be damaged if abused, or improperly shipped, and we cannot accept that legal liability.

Carefully measure your Rifle Plate Pockets for inside dimensions to see what plate size - and shape - you need.

Please know that many Eagle, BlackHawk and other plate carriers are not designed for the more rectangular Back plates (only clipped corner plates even on the back). You may need to order two Front plates to fit your carrier.

It is your responsibility to verify compatibility with your equipment.
