Ceramic Body Armor Plates vs 556 & 762x39 | Hesco L210s get Dropped, Soaked, Baked, Stabbed, & Shot

If you leave your ceramic body armor plates in a hot vehicle, get them wet, drop them, or stab them, they won't work anymore. At least, that's what we've been told. We take five of our personally owned Hesco L210 Special Threat Plates, some of the most popular armor plates on the market, and shoot the most popular rounds on the market (5.56 and 7.62x39) to find out if those myths are actually true or not. The results surprised us and they may surprise you too.
