Lets say i dont use AR, or i shoot within 100 yards, what could happen?
If you don’t use AR500 or better they surface will quickly become cratered. This makes little “ramps” for particles of subsequent shots to turn around and return to where they came from. Here is an extreme example with 1” thick mild steel.





Inside 100 yards you just run a greater risk of being hit with splatter, even with flat AR500 plates.

3/8” thick AR500 works fine up to 300 win mag, using non AP bullets.
