Guard Dog Level 3+ AR500 Plate Features
Each plate features a 60-mil anti-spalling coating, formulated with a 1750 PSI tensile strength to reduce fragmentation upon bullet impact. While no steel plate can eliminate spall 100%, this upgraded protective layer greatly minimizes the risk of secondary injury from bullet shrapnel. The rounded edges and curved shape improve wearability and reduce chafing, while the shooters cut design increases mobility and shoulder clearance—especially useful in dynamic shooting positions or CQB environments. With a weight of 8.5 lbs (+/- 0.15 lbs) before coating, these plates balance durability and coverage without being excessively burdensome.
This plate is suited for military, law enforcement, or civilian defense applications where enhanced rifle-rated protection is critical. Whether used alone or as part of a modular armor system, the Guard Dog Level 3+ plate provides trustworthy defense in a battle-tested format.
