>One thing I've been curious to test but too busy to follow up on is see if AR500 is even the best steel for defeating bullets.
Out of the armor steels I always figured it was Mars / Armox, then MIL-46100, then the garage steels with AR500 being the worst but progressively harder options being more brittle and compromising on multi-hit. Tactical scorpion has AR700, which peculiarly only seems to exist in shield form. Highcom being Highcom has an "AR1000" which is really just MIL-46100 or similar, quite close to AR500.
