Questions & Answers
Why are thes not on the NIJ Compliant Products List: Ballistic Resistant Body Armor list if they meet the standard?

Because it was not tested by a NIJ sanction testing facility that are only allowed to issue a NIJ certificate.

What calibers? And energy are these rated to stop?

From nij.gov:

"Level IV armor has been tested to stop .30cal steel core armor piercing rifle ammunition. Ammunition 5.56mm/.223 Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) has a lead core. Level III armor or greater is the best choice for protection among the armors on the CPL. Ammunition 5.56mm/.223 Green Tip Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition has a part steel core. Level IV armor is the best choice for protection among the armors on the CPL."

Awesome value by YankeeBluejeans, Verified Owner, April 5, 2025
Many videos showing excellent performance. They are a tad heavy and very thick, but several pounds lighter than steel plates. This is a multi-hit plate with spall protection. You're not going to find a better Level 4 plate for the money.

Biggest bang for buck by Andy, Verified Owner, May 4, 2025
I couldn't believe I found the level 4 opmod plates for the price I did. I have a carrier with the standard guard dog level 4 plates so these new ones are quite the upgrade with the Spaul çoating! Couldn't be happier. They are a tad heavy but if you...

Product Info for Guard Dog OPMOD Level 4 Armor Plate w/ Advanced Coating

Guard Dog Body Armor Introduces the OPMOD Exclusive Level 4 Plate with an Advanced Polyurea Coating, providing strength and protection from the elements. The Advanced Coated plate features impact-isolating tiled ceramic that is the standard for all Guard Dog Body Armor Ceramic Plate Products, as well as front and rear aramid sheets to reduce spalling and decrease back face deformation even further.image

Tested to exceed NIJ 0101.06 standards by the NTS Belcamp facility, with additional strike face coverage of .25 on each side, there is additional weight to these Level 4 Plates compared to our standard popular IVPLATE model, taking them from the 5.7lb plate of our standard offering to 6.5lbs per plate. Sized at 10x12x1, these fit most traditional plate carriers, though we always recommend using Guard Dog Body Armor Shepard, Trakr Pro, or Cerberus Plate Carriers.
