Battle Steel vs Tacticon Armament - 3A Armor Showdown

In this video, we put the Battle Steel Level 3A plates against the Tacticon Armament Level 3A Plates. We shoot them with everything from .22LR to 45ACP and even sneak in some 5.7 ammo to really see if we can penetrate these things. In a world where the most common threat is a handgun, it makes sense to have these plates in your low visibility plate carrier. Let's see how these do!
