>Now two questions remain.
We'll just have to wait and see. My guess is that these new Granits are already at upper limits of what can be considered acceptable for long-term wear, so to reach further towards Br6, they have to bust out some new chemistry. Maybe the Chinese will share the secrets of their Oriental alchemy, maybe some long-shelved research will emerge from the dusty archives of a long-disbanded research institute. Who knows? But I sincerely doubt we'll see thicker and heavier plates out of primary GI manufacturers. It's already dummy thicc.
Also, since SVCh-8.6 is officially in service, .338 AP is now also a DMR round. Nowhere to hide :3
>Check out this Level III 5lb brain bucket!
a MICH of my dreams! I've always wanted to tank a .308 with my forehead and walk it off.
Srsly tho, it's a tall claim for a PE helmet. I remember Oxide harshly criticizing mainstream PE helmets for unacceptable BFD in face of trivial threats.

It's only me. It's 5 AM in Moscow, I'm on the night shift and bored.

>Monolithic plates don't have that kind of multi-hit performance
Granit isn't monolithic, it's a segmented plate. The lighter Br4+ plate failed one of B-32 shots because it was a second hit on already shattered segment, and it's shown in the report.

Also, this isn't ad copy we're talking about. It's a report from an independent certified lab pertaining to a quality test of critical life-saving equipment. Equipment relied upon by people who won't hesitate to disappear a mofo if it somehow turns out to be faulty despite all assurances. It's actually bottom-tier classified (confidential) and y'all aren't supposed to read that.
>they tested 100 plates and published the only one to attain a good result
They tested 12 of each plate, actually, with different threats, and x-rayed 3 of them to get a good look at internal deformation under .338 and B-32 hits.
