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.

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 FedEx and UPS drivers 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. |

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

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.
