LEVEL IV BODY ARMOR | LEVEL 4 PLATES

What does Level IV body armor stop? 

Level IV is the highest armor rating under NIJ standards. Armor plates in this level are tested to take a single hit from an armor-piercing rifle up to .30-06 M2AP  with a mass of 166 grains and velocity of 2880 ft/s and large-caliber rounds.

What is Level IV body armor made of?

Hard armor materials can vary from steel, ceramic, UHMWPE but Level IV armor plates are typically made from a composite of Ceramics. These materials work by being harder than the bullet itself. 

Because of their incredible hardness, ceramics can stop armor-piercing ballistics like "Black Tip" 30-06 M2AP rounds. These rounds have an extremely hard steel penetrator that zips right through steel which is common in Level III armor. Ceramic twists and erodes the bullet to the point where it can't do as much damage.

Also unlike steel, monolithic ceramics can be made in a variety of shapes and curvatures to fit different body types.
