NIJ III+ level protection

The NIJ 101.04 standard level III is tested with six hits from a 7.62 NATO rifle. In short, it offers protection from common non-AP rifle rounds.

The suffix + is used by many manufacturers to market plates that offer more protection than just the standard it exceeds. In this case, the extra protection you get is against these rounds:

• 7.62x39 AP
• 5.56x45 mm M193
