A YouTube video by Kentucky Ballistics showcases the effectiveness of the Safariland Defense Frost body armor. The host, Scott, a former law enforcement officer, tests the armor by shooting it with various firearms, including rifles, shotguns, and pistols. The armor is designed to stop rifle rounds and is rated for .223, 5.56, 7.62x39, and shotgun shells.
Scott tests the armor with:
* 7.62x39 rounds from an AK-47
* 5.56 rounds from an AR-15
* 308 rounds from an FN SCAR 17 (not rated for this caliber)
* 30-06 rounds from a bolt-action rifle (not rated for this caliber)
* 4570 rounds from a lever-action rifle (not rated for this caliber)
* 12-gauge shotgun shells, including a solid brass slug
* Pistol rounds, including .460, .500, and 9mm
The armor performs exceptionally well, stopping all the rounds and showing minimal damage. Scott is impressed with the armor's ability to stop rifle rounds and its flexibility. He notes that the armor is not rated for some of the calibers used in the test but still performs well.
The video concludes with Scott summarizing the test results and expressing his appreciation for the armor's performance. He also invites viewers to tune in for future videos, including a full-auto test of the armor.
