MODERATORS
The plates themselves are thin as fuck. No way they stop anything above 9 in a meaningful manner. Also 7.62 is small...when compared to really big shit.
I don't know what the story is aboit, but my point is that modern Level 4 plates are specifically designed to stop rifle rounds.
Here is video of one plate being shot with AP 30.06 followed by 5 hits from 5.56 without enough of a bulge to even bruise. Then they shoot another plate with a 7.62x54r round powerful enough it jams the bolt on the 91/30 they're shooting it from.
The only way they actually manage to penetrate the armor is with an AP .50 BMG shooting through the 2 damaged plates from the previous tests.
