Engineered to handle multiple armor-piercing (AP) rounds, this Level IV plate is a top choice for military personnel and those facing severe threats. Manufactured entirely in-house in the United States, it combines ceramic and polyethylene materials to deliver industry-leading performance in a standard 10? x 12? size. Advanced Multi-Hit Capability Designed to Withstand Repeated Hits: The C2 Multi-Hit plate is built to stop multiple .30 caliber armor-piercing bullets (U.S. Military designation M2 AP) traveling at velocities of up to 2,880 ft/s. While many plates might fail or collapse after a single hit, this plate has been tested to stop up to three successive M2 AP rounds with adequate spacing, providing reliable protection in the most demanding conditions.

For environments with explosive threats or large-caliber rounds, ceramic is ideal. For those prioritizing durability and cost, steel may be a better choice. Common Questions About Ceramic Body Armor Is Ceramic Armor Fragile? Ceramic is more brittle than steel and can develop hairline cracks from rough handling. Always handle ceramic plates with care.
