A 'torture test' of the new ShotStop® Duritium® GT Special Threat rifle plate. The plate is made from new Duritium® technology and is specifically designed as a 'special threat' plate to defeat potent ammunition such as the M855 'Green Tip' round. Duritium® does not degrade in heat and has no issues with breaking, as is the case with many synthetic (i.e. dyneema) and ceramic / composite plates.
