Can you redeem yourselves? Can the Hive predict the outcome of this test accurately?
Spartan Armor Systems Armaply ATC level III+ steel plate shot with five rounds of 5.56mm Black Hills 50 gr TSX fired from a 20" Colt AR-15 A2 with an approximate velocity of 3,542 fps.

Fifty grains of copper @ 3500 fps? Blows right through. When it comes to steel plate, velocity wins. I'm wondering if it will cause a spall to break off the back side of the plate. |

Ivy Mike V2.0 is my prediction.
 
ETA: the chrono we checked his with was a Pact 24 circa sometime in the 90's. So I guess we could both have bad chronos but maybe it's just hot here.

I wonder what it feels like to be hit while wearing steel plates...just not enough to find out.

I'm sure it hurts a lot less than a bullet hole. Based on the testing I did yesterday, I think a hit to a steel plate probably hurts less than a hit to a ceramic plate.

https://youtu.be/6RGdXv8YMFA M193 will zip through a level III plate but the only level III+ plate that I've seen it defeat is the Armour Wear "AR680" level III+. |

It's surprising because level III steel plates are easily defeated by something this fast. |
