#MultiCurve

Armored Republic, formerly known as AR500 Armor, announced the release of their new C3 multi-curve multi-hit Level IV armor plates. The Armored Republic C3 plates are ceramic plates with FragLock coating and Cordura cover. Let’s take a look at the specs and features of these new armor plates.

It’s currently in fashion to disregard steel armor. To be sure, there are some significant differences between steel and ceramic composite armor, but there are a few things that steel can indeed do better than ceramic composite. It tends to be thinner and it produces virtually unmeasurable back face deformation. That means you are a lot more likely to stay in the fight. Steel is more durable than ceramic, but not nearly by the degree that many folks think. It is true that steel armor can be defeated by some threats that ceramic armor in the same rating might stop. But it will stop many threats that will cut through pistol rated armor like it isn’t there.
