Testing of 10X12 and 6X8 Flash tm Armor from Bainite Steel, by Hopkins Armor Holdings with .308 and 5.56 62 gr green tip penetrator. The 10X12 plate had not deformation. There was also no penetration of the steel against 20 rounds of 5.56 green tip. There were slight dimples about one third the size of a bb for comparison. The back side of the plate had no bumps. On the 6X8 there was no major deformation with three shots of .308. I have compared two sets of AR500 armor and these plates from Bainite Steel performed better. The plate 6X8 was flattened a little but again no major deformation. The Flash process hardens the plates more than other AR500 manufacturers. Hopkins Armor Holdings is only going to sell Flash tm Armor as its product of choice.
This test was only to test the integrity of the plates and was not designed to test splatter or fragmentation.

This is the best steel I know of for armor plate.

Repeated 338 lapua at 1 hundred yards. I expected penetration. Awesome.
