Any chance there was some cardboard above and below the plate to check for spall? And what was the distance the calibres were tested at?

What about greentip 5.56 or 7.62x51 FMJ?

That looks like good performance. Interesting how well the 7.62X39 did

I wonder how the Czech surplus 7.62x39 would perform?
Also wonder about the 5.56 62 grain greentip..

What's the weight per plate?

At what distance were those testing shots fired from?

Thanks for sharing testing result, it's impressive nonetheless considering the price.

How do they stand up to the 7.62x39 incendiary AP rounds sold by Cabela's?? ��

Great value. Wish they were shooter cut.
