  • Series: An In-Depth Look At The Protection of the Enforcer Riot Suit
    Nov 23, 2023
      Police see simple cases of neighborly disputes and a variety of other non-serious issues. However, they're also placed in high-stress, dangerous situations like riots as well. They never quite know what to expect from day to day. While this is part of the job, it's important to plan ahead and have the right gear for the position. YF Protector sells the Enforcer Riot Suit, which has certain features, especially for riots. Let's get an in-depth look at the benefits and protection.   Protection from Blunt Force and Stabbings   During a riot or intense situation, people aren't thinking. They're running on pure emotions, possibly leading to them resisting arrest or refusing to calm down. Even worse, they might even fight back and use a sharp or heavy object to harm you. Ideally, you need protection in the event someone retaliates against you. The Enforcer offers the protection you need. The suit has molded polypropylene panels strategically placed to protect your limbs and vital organs. They're strong enough to hold up to blunt force or a stabbing.   MOLLE   Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment, abbreviated MOLLE, describes areas on the suit that allows you to carry crowd control equipment, as well as, tactical tools you could need in the event of an intense situation. This particular piece of equipment comes standard with the full coverage and even has hydration, so you can stay hydrated when working for prolonged periods or in high-intensity situations.   Comfort With The Enforcer Suit   Besides the hydration, the Enforcer also comes standard with a cooling system. The cooling system uses frozen cooling packs that you insert into the interior of the suit to keep you cool. On the inside of the suit, there are hooks and loops where you attach the cooling packs. They last for up to four hours, whether you're in the hot sun or moving around to keep a situation under control. The cooling packs are simple to unhook, refreeze, and reattach. To refreeze, you merely take the cooling pack and place it in the freezer. In a few hours, the pack is ready again.   Fire Resistance Suit   Fires have been known to break out during a riot. They put everyone at risk who is in the area, including innocent bystanders and the police on the scene. Fortunately, when you have the Enforcer on, you have protection, so you won't sustain a serious burn. Specifically, to keep you safe in the event of a fire, the suit has molded polypropylene panels and nylon.   Lightweight Material   Part of responding to a riot consists of moving swiftly. You must get from one place to another quickly to address whatever unexpected situation arises. You need clothing that accommodates your movement. Fortunately, the Enforcer Suit is lightweight. The design is intended to move with you rather than against you. It won't restrict your arms or your legs. As a result, you can react quickly to any situation, even if that situation is to save yourself or another person.   Body Cam Space   A body cam is used by many departments, so officers can be heavily monitored. It protects the officers from being wrongfully accused of unlawful behavior or using excessive force while protecting suspects. The makers of this suit took the growing use of body cams into consideration when making it. Therefore, you'll notice that it has space for a body cam in it.   Multi-Use Ballistics Carrier   The riot suit comes with ballistic carriers to ensure you have all the necessary equipment you require when entering a rowdy crowd.   Fit   In terms of fit, the Enforcer suit was designed to fit snugly on your body to ensure you can move with ease, and it protects the correct parts of your body.   ID System   The suit has multiple locations where you can display your badges. The system allows you to display your badges from multiple angles to make you easily identifiable. The Enforcer suit has everything you need in the event of a riot. You'll even find that it has comfort measures to help you remain hydrated and possibly calmer during a serious situation.

  • How is the level of protection of bulletproof equipment divided?
    Jan 04, 2024
    The degree of protection of bulletproof products has several different classification criteria, and the NIJ bulletproof standard developed by the National Institute of Justice is currently a relatively common standard in the world. Many bulletproof product manufacturers and criminal justice agencies use this standard. The specified test method is used to determine the protection criteria for bulletproof products.The bulletproof vest is commonly used in the US NIJ standard. There are 6 levels in this standard: I, IIA, II, IIIA, III, IV.   The protection ability is from low to high. Among them, the IIIA class requires 9mm pistol bullets that can prevent micro-shooting, and the bullet speed is 420m/s. The level below IIIA is anti-9mm pistol, and the bullet speed is below 360m/s.Most customers generally require the protection level of bulletproof vests to be Class IIIA. Class III protection is to add two 300mm*250mm ceramic composite boards before and after the body armor. The thickness of each board is 18mm and the weight is 2.6kg. This level requires Anti-M80 bombs (7.62*51 bombs, bullet speed: 800m/s) There are also ordinary bombs fired by AK-47 and 56-type rifles. Class IV also requires the addition of a ceramic plate with a thickness of 21 mm and a weight of 3.3 kg. An armor-piercing projectile capable of preventing M1 emission is required, and the bounce speed is 850 m/s.The bulletproof armor is below the soft grade IIIA. The bulletproof layer material that does not require the soft bulletproof coating of the ceramic board has domestic and imported materials. The domestic material is white super high strength polyethylene fiber; the imported material is KEVLAR. Yellow; the price of bulletproof clothing is related to the material used, and it is also related to the protective area. The larger the area, the higher the price. The common body armor has three kinds of protection areas: vest type (0.27 square meters), vest type (0.32), full protection type. (with ankle guard 0.60).   YF PROTECTOR provides a full range of military and police NIJ IIIA, NIJ III and NIJ IV certified bulletproof products. welcome all friends to come our website and choose the reasonable products.

      Thinking about buying bulletproof products but don't know which size to take? We get it. There are lots of choices to make when it comes to a bundle of bulletproof products - ballistic helmet,ballistic vest,single curve or multi-curve ballistic plate,and soft panel.   The YF  PROTECTOR bulletproof helmet is available in four sizes: S, M, L, XL. The related helmet's inside head circumference are as below. Ballistic helmet's sizes S M L XL Ballistic helmet's inside head circumference(cm) 52-56 54-57 57-59 59-63   The YF  PROTECTOR bulletproof vest is available in six sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL and XXXXL. The related body height infos are as below. Ballistic vests' sizes S M L XL XXL XXXL XXXXL Ballistic vest's sizes for related body height infos(cm) 165~167 168~172 173~177 178~182 182~187 187~190 191~195   The YF  PROTECTOR bulletproof plate is available in various sizes,which are customized.Below are our hot sale sizes infos. Various sizes for Ballistic plate(cm) Rectangular Cut Single Curve Sapi Cut Single Curve Sapi or Rectangular Cut Multi-Curve 15*15 25*30 25*30 15*20 25*32 28*34 23.5*30 26*32 28*36 25*30 26*34   25*32 28*35   26*32 28*36   26*34 30*40   26.5*34 30*43   27*34     28*35     28*36     30*40     30*43       The YF  PROTECTOR bulletproof soft panel is also available in various sizes,which are customized.Below are our hot sale sizes infos. Various sizes for Ballistic soft panel(cm) Rectangular Cut Sapi Cut 15*15 25*30 15*20 28*35 15*28 28*36 20*20   18*23   25*30   25*35   25*40   28*35   28*36   30*38   30*40   30*43     It is much easier to choose sizes for helmet,plate and soft panels.Head circumference is easy to know,and plate and soft panel needs to fit the plate carrier pocket. However, there will be many individual differences in the size of choosing a bulletproof vest.Your bulletproof vest needs to fit in one main area: around your navel. The length of the vest is not important as you can use the shoulder straps to adjust it; the important factor to consider is the diameter of your midsection. If you are a thin man with a large belly, try to order at the top of your size range so that you can fasten the vest around your mid-section. If you are a sports enthusiast with large legs and a slender waist, order at the bottom of your size range.

  • What materials are used in the construction of the bulletproof product?
    Jan 10, 2024
    Every material is bulletproof if you lay it on thick enough, and no material is bulletproof if you have a big enough bullet. What materials are used to make bulletproof products in particular are bound by what you can carry and what modern weaponry you can expect in the field.For this purpose, we can look at three categories of materials:High-density materialsHigh-tensile fibersComposite ceramics Here introduce some material that we used for bulletproof products. Aramid Aramid is a truly wonderful material. It is simultaneously ‘space-age’ and works on the oldest ballistic principle imaginable. It works like chainmail, but on a molecular level. Strings of aramid are pressed together to make sheets like in the linen cloth originally. But, unlike linen, aramid has a much stronger connection to itself and can pull the entire string every time one part is pressed.This quality makes it ideal as soft armor, as it is flexible on slow touches and only becomes firm once it encounters something really fast.  And we normally use it for NIJ IIIA ballistic helmet, NIJ IIIA ballistic vest.    Aluminum Oxide Aluminum Oxide is a very obvious choice when it comes to ballistic materials, and is still one of the most common types of armor, mainly because of its price and availability. Its ballistic properties have everything to do with the molecular structure inside. When looked at as a whole, it seems like rows of interchangeable zig-zags that press onto each other. This makes the material both very firm, but also quite flexible.When under fire, the pattern bends and forces the rest to squeeze the bullet, slowing it down and stopping it in its tracks.This does make Al2O3 armor slightly heavier than the rest, but not as much that it is unbearable. We normally use it to make ballistic plate and ballistic shield.   UHMWPE This is one of the best materials to come out in the last 100 years. Polyethylene is a plastic that is quite easy to manufacture and it is mostly air. But, when it is made in its ‘’ultra-high-molecular-weight’’ form, or as UHMWPE, it becomes very resistant to bullets. The extremely long chains of polyethylene create the same effect as all fibers. But, the strong hydrogen bonds make its tensile strength unmatched by anything else. This is why a very light hard plate made from UHMWPE can stop even rifle rounds. It can make NIJ IIIA ballistic vest, ballistic plate, ballistic shield, ballistic helmet and so on.

  • What are the differences between curved bulletproof insert plates and flat bulletproof insert plates?
    Jan 19, 2024
    What are the differences between curved bulletproof insert plates and flat bulletproof insert plates?   With the rapid progress of the bulletproof industry, various types of bulletproof equipment are emerging one after another. When we choose to purchase bulletproof ballistic plates, there are also more and more choices, making it difficult for people to choose. When most people choose to insert ballistic plates, they first choose from the level of protection, materials, and price. From the perspective of materials, the mainstream bulletproof ballistic plates now include ceramic boards, PE boards, and steel plates; In terms of defense level, various standards such as the US NIJ standard, German standard, and Russian standard can be seen on the market. However, there are not many people who pay attention to the appearance of bulletproof ballistic plates.Actually appearance is also one of the factors that greatly affect the user experience of bulletproof ballistic plates. From the perspective of appearance, the appearance of ballistic plates can be mainly divided into two categories: curved ballistic plates and flat ballistic plates, among which there are various differences such as single curved surface, multi curved surface, ASC cut angle, etc. The use of improperly shaped ballistic plates can affect the amplitude and sensitivity of the wearer's tactical actions, as well as the actual protective effect.   1. Curved Ballistic Plate   Curved ballistic plates, as the name suggests, refer to ballistic plates with curved surfaces designed according to the contour of the human chest. Therefore, curved ballistic plates are more in line with the human body and are more comfortable to wear. At present, the ballistic plates used by individual soldiers are mainly curved ballistic plate. With the advancement of technology, there are usually two different classifications of curved ballistic plates: single curved ballistic plates and multi curved ballistic plates.   1) Single curved Ballistic Plate   A single curved ballistic plate is an insertion board with only one curve that fits the curve of the human chest, which can be imagined as a rectangular board cut from a section of pipeline. Compared to multi curved ballistic plates, single curved ballistic plates are simpler to manufacture and have lower costs.   2) Multi curved Ballistic Plate   The multi curved panel has additional curves along the length of the board, and its upper edge usually has cuts on both sides. Due to the curvature of the curved ballistic plates, they can better fit onto the surface of the body, providing more protection for the wearer compared to flat ballistic plates. In addition, compared to single curved ballistic plates, the cutting angles on both sides of the upper edge of the multi curved insert allow the wearer to use firearms and other weapons more freely and flexibly during tactical activities without obstruction, as well as perform various tactical actions. There are also theories that suggest that when a bullet touches the plate, its curved structure will cause the bullet to deflect at an angle, greatly reducing its penetration force into the insertion plate.   The process of making curved ballistic plates is quite complex, and currently they are all made according to unified specifications and standards. Due to the different body types of each individual, it is not possible to achieve a perfect fit with the body shape of each wearer. Moreover, since curved structures can cause bullets to deflect, the direction of deflection is random, which may cause secondary damage to wearers.   2. Flat Ballistic Plate   A flat ballistic plate is just a flat plate-like structure with a simple manufacturing process and relatively cheap price. Therefore, many people may think that a flat ballistic plate is not as effective as a curved one in terms of protection. But not entirely, the planar structure does not involve the issue of uncertainty in the direction of bullet deflection. Moreover, its structure is simple, the production process is also simple, and the price is cheap, making it a good choice for some specific usage scenarios. For example, currently high defense level shields, such as the NIJ III and NIJ IV, are mostly flat plate structures, and the armor modules installed on vehicles are also flat structures. However, for individuals, there is indeed a significant difference in wearing comfort between flat and curved ballistic plates.   3. Cutting corners   We can notice that some bulletproof ballistic plates have missing pieces on both sides of the top, while others do not. In fact, this missing part is called SC corner cutting, which is designed to facilitate users to smoothly perform standard shooting actions after wearing the ballistic plate. If there is no corner cutting, it will ,to some extent ,hinder the shooting action.   In addition, there are currently some ballistic plates with asymmetric cutting angles, which we refer to as ASC cutting angles. This is because the movement amplitude of the left and right arms during shooting actions is different, so the size of the cutting angles has been adjusted separately to better fit. But there is a problem with this type of corner cutting, which is to distinguish between left and right dominant hands. If it is reversed, it will have a very bad user experience.   Different ballistic plates have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, when choosing a bulletproof plate, it is recommended to first fully understand the conditions and situations of its usage scenario, and make reasonable choices for the material and shape of the ballistic plate based on one's own actual situation and combat needs.

  • Something That You May Not Know About BFD of Bulletproof Standards
    Feb 22, 2024
    Back-face deformation depth: The depth of the back-face deformation of a bulletproof products after being deformed by a bullet impact. The greater the depth, the more likely the user is to have "broken ribs" or others.   FMJ/FMSJ bullet: an all metal armor shell, a common bullet.   JSP/SJSP Bullet: A semi armor soft tip bullet is an ammunition that sacrifices armor piercing performance in exchange for killing soft targets (humans).   JHP/SJHP missile: a semi armored air tip missile, similar to the JSP/SJSP but with stronger soft target killing ability than the Dame.   FMS bullet: an all metal pointed bullet, a German pistol bullet with a conical head that has stronger armor piercing ability.   United States   1) NIJ 0101.06 standard:   The NIJ 0101.06 standard was developed by the National Institute of Justice in the United States to meet the needs of law enforcement agencies for bulletproof vests. The latest 6-version standard was developed in 2008 and will be replaced by the NIJ 0101.07 standard in 2021.   Due to various reasons, this national standard has become the most well-known standard internationally, truly worthy of the title of "Home of the Brave, Land of the Freedom". Moreover, although it is well-known, this standard is still used by American police officers and may not be sufficient in the military field.   The NIJ standard has the deepest back-face deformation depth among all the different countries’ standards.   The depth of the back-face deformation shall not exceed 1.73 inches/44mm.   2) NIJ 0106.01 (modified) standard:   The NIJ 0106.01 standard is a standard for measuring the bulletproof performance of helmets, established by the National Institute of Justice in 1981. In order to save it from falling behind the old regulations of the times, they made some modifications to it at a certain point in time and added the IIIA level based on NIJ 0108.01.   Chinese GA 141-2010 standard    On October 17, 2010, the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China issued the GA 141-2010 police bulletproof vest standard, which replaced GA 141-2001. It standardized the types of bullets used during testing and modified the requirements for the protective area of bulletproof vests.   The depth of the back-face deformation shall not exceed 25mm.   Russia GOST R 50744-95 new standard   The new standard implemented in 2017 integrates and removes some overly cumbersome old standards, and adds a new bulletproof level - BR6: capable of blocking 12.7 × 108mm 57-BZ-542 API.   The depth of the concave back shall not exceed 16mm.   British HOSDB Standard (2017 Edition)   Its different levels have different BFD depths.   HO1: Can block 9 * 19mm FMJ bullets and 9 * 19mm JHP bullets. There is no requirement for an average depth of concavity, but the maximum depth of concavity shall not exceed 44mm.   HO2: capable of blocking 9 * 19mm FMJ bullets and 9 * 19mm JHP bullets (requiring higher initial velocity of the projectile, which can be understood as pistol bullets fired from long barreled submachine guns/PCCs). The average depth of the depression should not exceed 25mm, and the maximum depth of the depression should not exceed 44mm.   HO3: Can block 7.26 * 51mm NATO (L44A1 or L2A2) bullets and 7.62 * 39mm bullets. The average depth of the depression should not exceed 25mm, and the maximum depth of the depression should not exceed 30mm.   HO4: Can block the. 308 Win (warhead number 480A) produced by Sacco or the. 308 TSX BT produced by Barnes. The average depth of the depression should not exceed 25mm, and the maximum depth of the depression should not exceed 30mm.   SG1: Can block the 12th shotgun. The average depth of the back indentation should not exceed 25mm, and there are no more than three special levels of optional testing for the maximum depth of the back indentation:   Capable of blocking. 357 Magnum flat headed SP bullets. There is no requirement for an average depth of concavity, but the maximum depth of concavity shall not exceed 44mm.   Can block 5.56 * 45mm SS109 (L17A1h or L15A1) bullets. The average depth of the depression should not exceed 25mm, and the maximum depth of the depression should not exceed 30mm.   Can block 5.56 * 45mm (LE223T3) bullets. The average depth of the depression should not exceed 25mm, and the maximum depth of the depression should not exceed 30mm.   German TR standard   The German TR (Technische Richtlinie) was proposed in 2008 based on the VPAM standard, which may be the most common testing standard in Europe. The biggest difference between it and the NIJ standard is that the TR standard tests handgun armor piercing shells, while NIJ does not.   The depth of the concave back shall not exceed 42mm.   SK L: Can block 9 * 19mm DM 41 round head lead core FMJ bullets. SK 1: Can block 9 * 19mm DM 41 round head lead core FMJ bullets, 9 * 19mm QD-PEP II/S special police bullets, and 9 * 19mm Action 4 special police bullets. SK2: Can block. 357 Magnum FMS rounds. SK3: Can block 5.56 * 45mm SS109 bullets and 7.62 * 51mm DM111 steel core bullets. SK4: Can block 7.62 * 51mm P80 armor piercing bullets.

  • What Type of Riot Gear Is Used By Law Enforcement?
    Feb 23, 2024
    Law enforcement tactics have changed significantly in the last decade. To reduce the risk of injuries and better control crowds, officers have adapted more effective strategies to counter threats. Police Anti Riot suits and gear play a critical role in keeping the public safe from disruptive individuals. Every officer should be equipped to handle unexpected events that could pose serious danger in correctional facilities, as well as out on the street.   Training with these types of riot suits and gear has also changed drastically since when they were first introduced in the 20th century. Mobility is a huge factor in the day-to-day operations of law enforcement across the globe. With the need for hydration, advanced technology, and mobility in and out of a squad car, law enforcement saw the need to adapt to next-generation riot suits that kept them, and the public safe at all times.    Riot Suits Police anti riot suits are specifically designed to cover and protect the torso. Made from flexible materials that firmly fit each officer, riot suits can provide protection from a wide number of threats. State-of-the-art riot suits are fire resistant, stab resistant, and can resist blunt force trauma, allowing officers to safely bypass crowds to better defuse dangerous situations. These suits can also be integrated with body cameras to record incidents that could assist in future legal proceedings.   Riot Helmet Police anti riot helmets are designed to meet various levels of threats, from bricks, to rocks and bottles. With top, side, and back of the head coverage, officers can remain safe from harm on all sides. Transparent face shields do not block visibility, instead they create a barrier between an officer’s face and potential objects that may be dropped or thrown in the vicinity.   Riot Baton A police anti riot baton can be an invaluable weapon when dealing with tough crowd control situations. These versatile weapons are often constructed of strong polycarbonate or wood and are available in a variety of sizes. A lanyard allows officers to maintain control of the weapon. Batons can be used as an impact tool to jab, strike, block, or aid in arm locks. They are also useful for breaking safety glass, windows, or for gaining entry into structures or vehicles.   Riot Shield Police anti riot shields offer officers lightweight protection and a physical barrier that protect against a wide range of dangers. These shields are typically round or rectangular in shape and feature a flat or bowed face. There is typically a strapping system that connects the shield to the arm. In addition to using a riot shield to block, this tool can be used to push a person back, restrict movement, or used as a bridge from one weapon to another.e are provided with nice finished look and bestowed with fine hues.   Protecting Law EnforcementPolice anti riot suits and gear may also encompass other important equipment and accessories, such as gas masks,  utility bags, hydration packs, grenadier bags, medical kits, backpacks, and deployment  bags. Each piece of protection equipment and gear work together to help keep officers safe  during dangerous incidents.  It’s crucial that they have these tools easily accessible to perform their duties in an  efficient and effective manner. More importantly, it"s vital for law enforcement to be trained on how to properly use riot gear to keep the public, and themselves safe.When disturbances like riots occur, having the right training and tactical knowledge to handle these events can make a difference in saving lives.

  • Benefits of NIJ IIIA Soft Body Armor
    Mar 01, 2024
    NIJ IIIA Soft body armor is the most concealable body armor on the market, making it easily integrated into civilian life. It's also the most flexible, the lightest, and arguably the most comfortable. NIJ IIIA Soft body armor is also versatile, and comes in more styles than just your conventional bulletproof or ballistic vest. LIGHTWEIGHT BODY ARMOR YF PROTECTOR's ballistic backpack panels, whether you're a student, a commuter, or a traveler, provide easy, discreet protection from ballistic threats. This is done without adding extra weight or bulk to your backpack. These level 3A soft body armor inserts will be your best bet if you're shopping for lightweight body armor—they only weigh 497G. Still, we don't compromise protection for a lighter weight. These panels are level IIIA concealable body armor, protecting against the vast majority of threats faced in day-to-day life. CONCEALABLE BODY ARMOR If you want to maximize concealability, the best concealable body armor is the ballistic T-shirt. Like our backpack panels, the ballistic T-shirt is light, discreet, and comfortable. Tested to the NIJ level 3A standard, it's the best soft armor vest carrier to protect against all small to middle rounds.  The flexible body armor used in our ballistic T-shirts makes it the best ultra-low visibility concealable body armor you'll find on the market. COMFORTABLE BODY ARMOR Our ballistic vests were designed to be comfortable and concealable enough to wear in high-profile situations. The ballistic vest has an NIJ-certified Level IIIA ballistic rating. The bulletproofest is a NIJ-certified Level IIIA concealable body armor vest and ultra-lightweight. Both vests can be worn by anyone, from an international business traveler to a politician, music artist, or celeb. It can also be worn by someone who is simply concerned about their safety.With these ballistic vests, the easily removable outer shell is made from a space-age antimicrobial material that wicks away moisture and is breathable. Because you wear it like an undershirt, the ballistic vests were designed to be near invisible when worn under a button-down shirt.

  • What does SAPI mean?
    Mar 06, 2024
    SAPI means Small Arms Protective Insert. The Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) is a ceramic ballistic plate used by the United States Armed Forces. It is now also used in the Improved Outer Tactical Vest as well as the Modular Tactical Vest, in addition to commercially available "plate carriers". The Kevlar Interceptor vest itself is designed to stop projectiles up to and including 9×19mm Parabellum submachine gun rounds, in addition to fragmentation. To protect against higher-velocity rifle rounds, SAPI plates are needed.   ESAPI In May 2005, the U.S. Armed Forces began replacing the standard Small Arms Protective Insert plates with the Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert (ESAPI). An ESAPI provides protection from .30-06 Springfield M2 armor-piercing (AP) with a steel penetrator in accordance with the NIJ Level IV standard, but costs 50% more than SAPI plates.   XSAPI A call for a next generation plate, to stop even greater velocity threats than the ESAPI plate was issued by the U.S. Army in 2008. The X Threat Small Arms Protective Insert plates are specifically allowed scalar or flexible systems, and asked for better coverage, with less than a pound of additional weight. XSAPI did in fact offer slightly better protection, at the cost of more weight and thicker armor profile. The XSAPI is intended to protect against an "X-Threat", which is able to be inferred from another source to be the M993 7.62 NATO armor piercing tungsten carbide projectile.   Materials and capabilities The standard plate for the Interceptor body armor is made of boron carbide or silicon carbide ceramic. The standard plates are not given an NIJ rating, as they are tested in accordance with specific protocols for the military and not the NIJ's testing. Military testing calls for survivability of three hits from the round marked on the plate - for standard SAPI, of a caliber up to 7.62 NATO M80 ball and of a muzzle velocity up to 2,750 ft/s (840 m/s). For ESAPI, a .30-06 Springfield M2 armor-piercing (AP) (.30-06 black-tip armor-piercing) cartridge. This performance is only assured when backed by the soft armor which meets military requirements for protection. The ceramic plate is backed with a shield made of Spectra, a material up to 40% stronger than Kevlar, to trap any fragments of either plate or projectile and prevent them from injuring the wearer.   Sizes and weights SAPI plates meant for body armor come in front and back plates which are identical, and smaller side plates. The front and back plates come in five sizes. Their dimensions are the following:   Front and back SAPI plates: · Extra Small - 1.27 kg (2.8 lb) | 184 x 292 mm (7¼ x 11½ in) · Small - 1.59 kg (3.5 lb) | 222 x 298 mm (8¾ x 11¾ in) · Medium - 1.82 kg (4.0 lb) | 241 x 318 mm (9½ x 12½ in) · Large - 2.09 kg (4.6 lb) | 260 x 337 mm (10⅛ x 13¼ in) · Extra Large 2.40 kg (5.3 lb) | 280 x 356 mm (11 x 14 in)   ESAPI plates are the same size but greater in weight. · Extra Small - 1.70 kg (3.75 lb) · Small - 2.08 kg (4.60 lb) · Medium - 2.50 kg (5.50 lb) · Large - 2.85 kg (6.30 lb) · Extra Large - 3.25 kg (7.20 lb)   Side SAPI (SSAPI, S-SAPI) torso side plates are only in 6" x 8" size, and weigh around 1 kg (2.3 lb).    ESBI plates: · Small - 0.75 kg (1.65 lb) | 152 x 152 mm (6 x 6 in) · Medium - 1 kg (2.19 lb) | 152 x 203 mm (6 x 8 in) · Large - 1.15 kg (2.53 lb) | 178 x 203 mm (7 x 8 in)   Physics The mechanism of effect lies in absorbing and dissipating the projectile's kinetic energy in local shattering of the ceramic plate and blunting the bullet material on the hard ceramic. The Spectra backing then spreads the energy of the impact to a larger area and stops the fragments, reducing the likelihood of fatal injury to the wearer.
