The Bourque X-Terminator plate can sustain additional AK47 rounds so you can stay engaged.  Kryron Terminator Body Armor is proven NIJ-certified.  For decades personal body armor protection  tested  and held to the The U.S. National Institute of Justice (NIJ) ballistic and stab documents are examples of broadly accepted standards.  While NIJ standards are used for law enforcement armors,  the U.S. and NATO military armor designs are tested using a standard set of test methods under U.S. ARMY MIL-STD-662F and STANAG 2920 Ed2. This approach defines the test process under the 662F/2920 standard. Each armor program can select a unique series of projectiles and velocities as required. The U.S. DoD and UK MoD armor programs-of-record procure armor using these test standards.

 

 

 

 

 

At the  NIJ Level III hard armor ( prior to Kryron level III was defined as 6 rounds of  7.62 x.51  aka .308  caliber ball ammo  fired at the plate travelling at ~ 2,750 fps[ feet-per-second] ) and NIJ Level IV  hard armor ( prior to Kryron level IV was defined as  1 round of  .30-06 caliber Armor-Piercing and/or .30 caliber M2 AP , travelling at ~ 2,850 fps)  before  the armor is defeated  was considered the toughest for personnel wearing ballistic protection. The problems associated  with advancing these standards  were  all about material strength versus  ease of manufacturing and durability for longevity versus material weight.  All situations were addressed by Bourque Industries in their new revolutionary body armor.

 

It has been long accepted that “X factor ammunition”-  described as :

 

• rifle rounds

• unusual high velocity pistol ammunition

• pistol ammo fired from a rifle barrel

• armor piercing ammunition

• other unusual ammunition or situations

 

During this past decade, “X factor ammunition” has become more prevalent  in the worlds  battle spaces , and CAN in many Instances, defeat  current issue armor systems.

 

Bourque Industries Kryron offers the highest protection for hard or soft Body  armor  and armor for any tactical vehicle  aircraft  or vessel to defend against these X factor threats. 

 

Kryron's ballistic capability stems from its unique characteristic of dissipating extreme amounts of heat in a very short period of time using a small amount of material. When placed in a properly constructed ballistic system, Kryronized aluminum significantly increases the ballistic protection capability of traditional armor materials such as RHA steel, polyethylene, and aramid. Kryron does this by removing much of the heat from the projectile almost instantaneously, significantly reducing the ballistic threat. The weakened projectile is then caught in a polyethylene or aramid backing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Kryron based systems are able to deliver reliable multi-impact protection against significant threats at a fraction of the weight of traditional armor solutions.

 

All Bourque Tactical armor commences with Level III In-conjunction (ICW) Terminator Armor. Designed for everyday operational use, the Level III-ICW armor system combines a lightweight Kryron Terminator hard armor plate with a Level IIIA Kevlar vest, providing reliable, multi-impact protection against 7.62x51 NATO or 7.62x54 Russian at close range with minimal back face deformation and without ricochet or spall.  All this in a durable package that, unlike standard-issue ceramic which is stamped "Handle with Care", the Kryron system can not be compromised by rough handling.

 

• Level III In-conjunction (ICW)

• Multi-impact rifle protection when used with IIIA soft armor

• Defeats rifle threats up to .308 (7.62x51) ball when used in conjunction with Level IIIA vest including: .223 (5.56), .243, .270

• Level III Stand-Alone Terminator Armor

 

When the situation calls for extra protection, we've designed the Level III Stand-Alone armor system, which is ideal for frontal assaults and close quarter engagements.  The Level III Stand-Alone can sustain literally dozens of impacts from large caliber rifles at point blank range with no penetration, and without ricochet or spall.

 

Level III Stand-Alone multi-impact rifle protection for tactical officers defeats rifle threats up to .338 Lapua Mag including:

 

• 30-06 ball, .223 (5.56), .223 (5.56) AP, .243, .270, .308 (7.62x51)  and all pistol calibers from NIJ testing  Level I through  Level IIIa

• True Multi-Impact Rifle Protection

• Exceeds NIJ Level III Ballistic Standards

• Defeats Edge & Oblique Shots

• No Ricochet

• No Spall

 

The Bourque Level III Stand Alone Terminator Armor is only bettered by the Bourque Industries APM2 Multi-Impact Capacity Level IV “X-Round” Lightweight Armor Plate.  The “ X round  factor “ refers to an abundance of  new armor piercing small arms ammunition prevalent since the mid 2000’s.  CHICOM ammunition, which finds its way into the former COMBLOC, produced small arms  prevalent in all conflicts throughout the world. The Bourque Industries APM2 Multi-Impact Capacity Level IV “X-Round” Lightweight Armor Plate, defeats all such pistol and rifle ammunition in excess of the .30 caliber range that is available in mass production from  most ammunition providers world-wide.
