Laser cut
Simply Stronger, Thinner and lighter than the competition
Our new proprietary steel core is far stronger than the AR500 - AR650 steel core. This core is hardened all the way through unlike the AR500 - AR650 which is only surfaced hardened. At only 0.197 inches thick nominal makes it 20% lighter than the AR500 and superior in strength.
Our build-up spall coating is done with a Graco EXP-2 which is the top of the line high pressure heated coating system. Our plate core is chemically washed and etched on the strike surface to eliminate the coating from delaminating when shot which keeps the shrapnel from escaping from the armored assembly
Tactical Scorpion Gear 10 mm Trauma Pad
Custom made , computer cut on triple axis CNC router machine to perfectly match our armor plate
Will absorb the impression of any projectile impact onto the armor plate protecting your ribs from the compression
** This model complies with NIJ Standard-0101.06 for Ballistic resistance of Body Armor.**
We utilize a CNC laser cutting table for the cutting of all our Steel core products. If the seller of armor plate does not mention how its cut, then you can guarantee its not by laser There is no equal method
Plasma cutting cuts slowly, this puts a lot of heat into the steel. ( Submerged plasma cutting machine is no better) This excess heat can result in excessive chipping and damage near the cut edge during use and easily shattering when shot. Plasma cutting generates large amounts of heat that is deposited into the target, softening it's edges. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) generated by plasma cutting is the largest out of the most commonly used methods for cutting abrasion resistant steel. Most AR500 is cut with plasma cutters as they are cheap and relatively small compared to other methods.
Here at Tactical Scorpion Gear we manufacture our own vest carriers, Kevlar level IIIA vests and all our products. We have every item listed Available and ready for immediate shipping.

We have gone above and beyond to bring you steel body armor of a HIGHER CALIBER.
This can be seen with our bend process, our fragmentation coating and our finishing details. This was the material that we started from and have the most experience with. We’ve seen it, done it, we’ve improved it.
Steel Body Armor provides great protection that can stop multiple projectile hits. We have been working with different levels of abrasion resistant (AR) ballistic steel for years and have not found a better product than our AR550 Steel Body Armor Plates. This armor is rated at a level III+ as it can defeat special threats like M855 rounds.
All of our steel plates come in one ergonomic curve option. We have worked with LE and first responders to design a curve that you can be comfortable wearing. We provide this at no additional cost. What is unique about the way that we bend our steel is important too. We have designed a press that creates a multi curve bend in ONE step. Why is this important? When you do multiple bends to achieve a multi curve, it puts extra strain on the plate which can weaken it. We have replicated the same curves that you have seen in multi curve ceramic armor for years.
Our aggressive Shooters Cut body armor plates shaves off weight while still providing enough coverage to protect your vital organs. Use our CaliberX™ Soft Armor Backers for even more protection and comfort.
Our standard AR550 plate comes coated to protect the plate from rust and the elements. One concern with Steel Armor is fragmentation containment. Some of that fragmentation is contained in the armor’s plate carrier, but there still is a risk of lethal shrapnel. We HIGHLY recommend our Caliber Anti-Spall add on. We have teamed up with our friends at Bullet Liner® to formulate an anti-spall coating specifically for our armor application. This addition to your steel plate gives you peace of mind when wearing steel armor.

Caliber Armor CaliberX Covert Body Armor Vest
At Caliber Armor, we are always striving to offer our customers the best possible protection combined with maximum comfort, low weight and competitive pricing. Introducing our CaliberX™ Covert Body Armor Vest. This fully concealable body armor setup starts with high tech Kevlar XP para-aramid material and is finished with a minimalist carrier that produces a light and flexible concealable body armor platform that can be worn comfortably through long shifts.
All CaliberX™ body armor is NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA and 0101.07 RF2 rated to stop multiple hits from most pistol and shotgun rounds including .44 Magnum, .357 Sig, and .9 mm. This full coverage soft armor option can be worn flush together or overlapped for maximum side protection. It is designed to be worn under street clothes or uniforms for an extended period of time. This is the choice for departments looking for an extremely concealed and comfortable solution.
Our simplistic functional carrier is thin, breathable and has multiple adjustment options. It allows the armor to lay smooth under clothing to avoid being obvious that you are wearing body armor. We have fully maximized the material’s potential and made it more comfortable and lighter for the wearer. Our CaliberX™ ballistic vests offer better flexibility and comfort, greatly improving response time in a critical moment which could mean the difference between life and death.
Designed to be worn under uniform or street clothes for undercover operations. This maximum conceal ability allows you to pass without others being fully aware that you are wearing ballistic protection.
All of our armor products can be worn by men or women. Due to the thinness and flexibility it is easily concealable even on those with smaller frames. We have a size for you.
Beware of any armor that does not list or boast about where it’s made (it’s probably Chinese). If they don’t tell you how thick or heavy, it is (it’s heavy and bulky)! We strive for transparency at Caliber Armor. If you ever have any questions about our armor, we are a quick email or call away. Any product that we put our name on is proudly designed and made in the U.S.A

AR500 Armor Level III+ Body Armor With Build Up Coat
The Level III+ Steel Plate (specifications below) is able to stop threats such as 7.62x39/7.62x51/5.56 M193s, 5.56 M855 penetrators, and .223/.308 WIN rounds. And unlike ceramic or polyethylene, Steel is able to take several hits from these rounds without fail. This multi-hit special threat resistance is the distinguishing quality of the Level III Plus.
The plate features our patented Advanced Shooter Cut, which improves comfort and shooting ergonomics by affording you extra room for your rifle cut. It is available in both right and left-handed versions and is compatible with all standard plate carriers that accept SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut body armor (given you have an appropriate carrier size).
The included FragLock™ Coat is a feature special to our AR500 Armor plates, which we apply for two reasons: First, it helps reduce the dangers of spalling (when broken pieces of steel come off the plate) and fragmentation (when a bullet’s remains bounce off the plate), protecting you from the aftermath of a bullet’s impact once it has been stopped. Second, the coat gives our plates a maintenance-free shelf life of twenty years, which makes this steel plate last much longer than polyethylene or ceramic alternatives. The Base Coat, which all our plates come with by default, is lighter and thinner with less protection, while the Build-Up Coat can be added for greater protection but also slightly more weight.

AR500 Armor Soft Body Armor
from $80.99
$83.00
Our Rimelig option is made of p-Aramid Fibers and is available at both Level II and Level IIIA protection levels, which both provide multi-hit protection. The Rimelig is the most budget option of the three, making it a solid entry-level soft armor option, while still staying true to the goal of soft armor: Reliable lightweight protection, at just 0.45” thick and weighing 1.24 pounds.
The next level up is the Slim, which is made of two separate Aramid laminates joined together for greater strength. The symmetrical design of our Slim armor gives it a bidirectional capability, meaning it's perfect for use in a backpack, where you might use it on your back, or in front of you as a shield (slim armor panels will still have a "strike face" label, though it will be equally effective from either side, making it perfect for use in armored backpacks or bags). It provides Level IIIA protection and is only 0.36” and 1.25 pounds in our 10x12 ASC model.
Finally, for our most advanced option, the Hybrid is constructed from industry-leading materials from Honeywell Spectra Shield®, Honeywell Gold Shield®, and other ballistic fabric from respected manufacturers. The exceptional quality of these materials makes for an especially capable panel. The result is an ultra-thin and ultra-light piece of soft armor at 0.25” thick, 1.04 pounds.

AR500 Armor Soft Body Armor
For lightweight protection that’s easy to carry, AR500 Armor’s soft armor (specifications below) options give you the most value for the least sacrifice in affordability and stopping power.
Multiple soft armor types are available to choose from, each of which uses a different soft armor material with different weights and protection levels. However, there are similarities across each option: Every panel is either rated at Level II and Level IIIA (two handgun threat levels from the NIJ recommendations). Every soft armor panel is cut, sewn, and assembled in-house. And, like ceramic and polyethylene hard armor, these panels all have a 5-year shelf life.
Our Rimelig option is made of p-Aramid Fibers and is available at both Level II and Level IIIA protection levels, which both provide multi-hit protection. The Rimelig is the most budget option of the three, making it a solid entry-level soft armor option, while still staying true to the goal of soft armor: Reliable lightweight protection, at just 0.45” thick and weighing 1.24 pounds.

AR500 Armor Level III+ Lightweight ASC Body Armor
Our Level III+ Lightweight ASC (see specifications below) is tested to defeat .223/.308 WIN rounds, 5.56 M855 penetrators, and 7.62x39/7.62x51/5.56 M193s all at bullet speeds of up to 3,000 feet per second. Also, thanks to the virtues of steel armor, this plate is capable of stopping several shots without shattering or buckling like ceramic and polyethylene alternatives.
The plate is shaped according to the designs of our Advanced Shooter Cut (ASC), with the taper to the top of the plate asymmetrical. This makes using your strong arm easier because of the space given by the cut, making actions like shouldering your rifle easier. This cut comes in both right and left-handed configurations, and any appropriately sized plate will accept it just as well as it would a SAPI or traditional Shooters Cut.
Finally, the FragLock™ sealing from AR500 Armor, which can come either as a Base Coat or as a Build-Up Coat, gives two benefits: First, it acts as a protection from bullet or armor fragments that may come off after a
