Rifle Plates - Lightweight SAPI

Rifle Plates - OVERVIEW Page Here


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, 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.

*** 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.

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 is 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. One of the forms required may be found 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.
