This test included DROP testing and submerged water testing (see test report for details).Some eBay sellers claim that their plates are NIJ Level III certified because of passing an Ak-47 MSC ballistics test OR M855 test (5.56). Remember that the new RF2 category (0101.07) REQUIRES resistance against the 7.62mm x 51mm (M80) and other threats. If your ebay seller is not testing all of the RF2 threats - and can prove it... he is not complying with the new 0101.07 standard.
