Guard Dog Body Armor Single Level 3+ AR500 Steel Plate

This Level III+ steel ballistic plate is engineered to provide durable rifle protection with a focus on reliability, coverage, and user comfort. The plate measures 10 by 12 inches and is manufactured from certified steel that exceeds NIJ 0101.06 Level III performance requirements, including documented resistance to M855 projectiles at close range. A shootercut profile with rounded edges improves mobility and reduces interference with arm movement, while a curved geometry enhances ergonomic fit against the torso during extended wear. Uncoated plate weight measures approximately 8.5 pounds, supporting stable positioning in plate carriers designed for steel armor.To mitigate fragmentation, the strike face is treated with a highbuild antispall coating up to 60 mil thick, delivering approximately 1,750 psi tensile strength to help capture projectile and plate fragments. While no steel plate can guarantee complete elimination of spall, the coating provides a meaningful reduction in secondary fragmentation risk. The combination of certified steel construction, shaped profile, and reinforced antispall treatment makes this plate well suited for training, range use, and duty setups where durability and consistent rifle resistance are required.
