NIJ Level III Ballistic Plates - Standard Rifle Protection

When facing rifle threats, reliability is a matter of life and death. Our NIJ III Plate series is core protective equipment designed to counter standard rifle threats. As the most balanced choice within the Ballistic Plate family, Level III plates are intended to provide law enforcement officers, security professionals, and tactical enthusiasts with defensive solutions that maintain mobility across a variety of environments.

According to the NIJ 0101.06 standard, Level III hard plates must successfully stop 7.62×51mm NATO M80 Ball rounds (with a velocity of approximately 2,780 fps) without penetration. This means they can easily handle common rifle threats such as 7.62×39mm (AK-47) and 5.56×45mm (M193).
