Body armor classified as Level III+ exceeds Level III requirements and is considered an intermediate level of ballistic protection. It is intended to deliver more stopping power and improved defense against threats from high-velocity rifles. In order to improve upon its Level III categorization, this armor uses advanced materials or design elements.
Level III+ body armor provides protection against certain types of ammunition, such as the 7.62 x 51 mm Nato, 7.62 x 39 mm MSC, and SS 5.56 x 45 mm M193 rounds. These armors are appropriate for military and law enforcement professionals who encounter such threats in the field.
At Hard Shell, Level III+ body armor plates are available in 1.8 kg, 2 kg, and 2.2 kg weight options. Users can customize these weight options to meet their unique operational needs and preferences.
Level III+ and Level IV body armor can differ based on certain requirements. Level IV is the best at repelling larger caliber threats that can penetrate armor, while Level III+ provides improved protection against some high-velocity rifle bullets. A thorough analysis of the expected ballistic threats and operational requirements should form the basis of the decision between them.
It is the degree of protection against high-velocity rifle bullets where these two armor types differ. While Level III body armor meets requirements for protection against standard rifle threats, Level III+ goes one step further by offering greater resistance against some specific high-velocity projectiles.
The level of threat assessment and operational requirements of the user determines the suitability of Level III+ body armor. It is appropriate for a variety of ballistic threats. To ascertain if Level III+ body armor provides the appropriate degree of protection, it is imperative to assess particular ballistic threats and mission requirements.
