The AIQ AIR and PAD - NIJ Level III RF2 chest plate is designed to stop standard rifle rounds, including those from AK-47s (7.62x39) and 5.56x45 NATO rounds. However, there are certain calibers it cannot stop effectively, particularly those that exceed NIJ Level III standards. These include:Armor-Piercing Rifle Rounds: NIJ Level III RF2 plates are not rated to stop armor-piercing rounds such as 7.62x63mm (.30-06) M2 AP or 7.62x51mm M993 AP, which are typically handled by NIJ Level IV plates.Higher-Caliber Rounds: Large-caliber rounds like .338 Lapua Magnum or .50 BMG will penetrate NIJ Level III plates. These rounds have much higher energy and are designed to pierce armor or be used in anti-material rifles.Threats from these higher-velocity or armor-piercing rounds require a plate rated at NIJ Level IV would be necessary.
