Someone’s math is a wee bit off. 1.9kg doesn’t equal 8.2lbs. It’ll be interesting to see what it is rated for.
The math may be off, but it does state clearly what it is certified and rated for.
1.9Kg would be incredibly great for a S.A. Lvl IV plate with that price point. Somehow I doubt it. 8.3lbs (or 3.7Kg) is more likely.
1.9kg would be insanely great for a S.A. Level IV plate. Period.
…In fact, no such plate exists. The very lightest are around 5lbs, which is 2.26kg.
It states 6.9 lbs. (3.13 kg) on their website, so who knows what to believe anymore.
We have more than one level IV model and they all have different weights.
RMA is apparently not very good at math or measurements. This is the company that sells an 8×10″ plate, the 1199, as a 10×12″ plate.
(The ceramic coverage is roughly 8×10″, but they put it in a 10×12″ envelope & call it a 10×12″ plate, and don’t mention this fact on their site.)
If this plate was sold as a 8×10 I’m sure you would still have something negative to say about it. The polyethylene backing or the overall product is a 10×12, so it is sold as such. What about a gamma cut plate that is a “10×12” when the coverage is significantly smaller? And RMA will changing the 1199 to a full coverage by end of year, 2017.
It was a typo. Our fault the true weight is 8.3 pounds or 3.77 kilograms.
Does RMA stand for Return Merchandise Authorization? – Not good initials for any company selling products.
It’s the first initial of the owners 3 daughters.
Renee, Meghan and Alexis. Named for the owners daughters.
Article states that the sale prices is valid from 22 to 29 of last month. Is this correct?
Quick looksee on their site shows a similar pricing on the product at current date.
It was an introductory sale that was continued to the fourth of July. The price went from $115.00 to $117.76 to be catchy
Sooo, they bumped up the protection so It couldn’t be defeated by the 7.62x54R by testing against our very own .30-06 (7.62x63mm) ??
Why?
What are you saying exactly?
Maybe I have not been paying attention to Armor last so many years, but I wasn’t aware that testing against the .30-06 round was a bar of testing that armor needed to exceed? I thought 7.62x54R was the standard, that’s all.
30-06 M2 AP is the standard for NIJ Lvl 4. Even though NIJ isn’t always the most realistic, many companies test and rate for that since a lot of grants for police departments require that money be used to purchase NIJ rated armor. That’s not to say a lvl 4 plate won’t defeat x54r, just that it wasn’t tested. Some companies pay for further testing from places like H.P. White for other rounds and add that to their spec sheets. I don’t know if RMA has or will do this for this specific plate. On top of NIJ you have ‘Special Rifle Threat’ or similar terminology, sometimes labeled as lvl 3+. That’s not a legit NIJ rating, but a company will test and rate a plate for multiple common rounds. Typically 193, 855, x39 variants and such.
I’m starting to ramble, so I hope this clears it up for you.
