Can A Loaded Magazine Save Your Life?

The Wound Channel

Carbon Score: 8.1

If you are familiar with my channel, you are aware that high velocity 5.56 rounds can penetrate Level III steel body armor. I get asked the question "what if I have a magazine in my plate carrier, would that slow the round down enough to prevent it from going through the plate?" See for yourself! Huge thanks to ar500armor.com for providing the plates!
