If the seller of armor plate does not mention how its cut, then you can guarantee its not by laser There is no equal method\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlasma cutting cuts slowly, this puts a lot of heat into the steel. ( Submerged plasma cutting machine is no better) This excess heat can result in excessive chipping and damage near the cut edge during use and easily shattering when shot. Plasma cutting generates large amounts of heat that is deposited into the target, softening it’s edges. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) generated by plasma cutting is the largest out of the most commonly used methods for cutting abrasion resistant steel. Most AR500 is cut with plasma cutters as they are cheap and relatively small compared to other methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTested by HP White laboratory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model complies with NIJ Standard-0101.07 for Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNIJ tested Level III Armor will defeat 6 rifles round shots up to 7.6251\/.308 @ 2780 ft\/s @ 15 METERS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #fbd7da;\"\u003eFor armor weights go to: https:\/\/tacticalscorpiongear.com\/armor-weights-information.html\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tactical Scorpion Gear","offers":[{"title":"AR500 Level III \/ Spall Coated \/ Flat","offer_id":48145946869921,"sku":"TSG1114SF","price":82.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AR500 Level III \/ Base Coated \/ Curved","offer_id":48145946902689,"sku":"TSG1114BC","price":66.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"AR500 Level III \/ Spall Coated \/ Curved","offer_id":48145946935457,"sku":"TSG1114SC","price":86.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lightweight Level III \/ Base Coated \/ Curved","offer_id":48145946968225,"sku":"TSG1114LBC","price":103.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lightweight Level III \/ Spall Coated \/ Curved","offer_id":48145947000993,"sku":"TSG1114LSC","price":122.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lightweight Level III \/ Base Coated \/ Flat","offer_id":48145947033761,"sku":"TSG1114LBF","price":98.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lightweight Level III \/ Spall Coated \/ Flat","offer_id":48145947066529,"sku":"TSG1114LSF","price":117.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Crucible \/ Base Coated \/ Curved","offer_id":48145947099297,"sku":"TSG-CR1114BC","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Crucible \/ Spall Coated \/ Curved","offer_id":48145947132065,"sku":"TSG-CR1114SC","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/8408\/1057\/files\/tsg-level-3-ar500-lightweight-level-3-steel-body-armor-11-x-14-plate.jpg?v=1792458818","url":"https:\/\/kilo1sixarms.shop\/products\/tsg-level-iii-ar500-lightweight-level-iii-steel-body-armor-11-x-14-plate","provider":"KILO 1 SIX ARMS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
