Description
Armored Republic Multi-Hit Ceramic Body Armor
Unmatched Level IV Ballistic Protection
Maximum Stopping Power for High-Threat Environments: Get the highest level of protection available with the C2 Multi-Hit ceramic body armor from Armored Republic. Engineered to handle multiple armor-piercing (AP) rounds, this Level IV plate is a top choice for military personnel and those facing severe threats. Manufactured entirely in-house in the United States, it combines ceramic and polyethylene materials to deliver industry-leading performance in a standard 10? x 12? size.
Advanced Multi-Hit Capability
Designed to Withstand Repeated Hits: The C2 Multi-Hit plate is built to stop multiple .30 caliber armor-piercing bullets (U.S. Military designation M2 AP) traveling at velocities of up to 2,880 ft/s. While many plates might fail or collapse after a single hit, this plate has been tested to stop up to three successive M2 AP rounds with adequate spacing, providing reliable protection in the most demanding conditions.
Innovative Ceramic Technology
Impact Absorption and Durability: Ceramic plates work by shattering upon impact, absorbing the bullet?s energy more effectively. However, traditional ceramics can compromise after just one hit. The C2 Multi-Hit uses advanced materials and a refined design to minimize shattering, keeping the plate intact and ready to stop more hits. This improved performance makes it a dependable option for high-risk operations.
Lightweight and Compatible
Efficient Design with Universal Fit: Despite its high level of protection, the C2 Multi-Hit plate weighs just 7.4 pounds and maintains a thickness of 1 inch, making it lighter than many comparable plates. It fits all standard 10? x 12? carriers, offering easy integration into your existing setup without sacrificing protection or mobility.
Choosing Ceramic vs. Steel Body Armor
Understanding the Pros and Cons: Ceramic body armor like the C2 offers superior protection against high-caliber and armor-piercing rounds but can be more brittle compared to steel. For environments with explosive threats or large-caliber rounds, ceramic is ideal. For those prioritizing durability and cost, steel may be a better choice.
Common Questions About Ceramic Body Armor
- Is Ceramic Armor Fragile?Ceramic is more brittle than steel and can develop hairline cracks from rough handling. Always handle ceramic plates with care.
- Ceramic vs. Kevlar:For rifle-rated protection, ceramic outperforms Kevlar, which is more suited for stopping handgun threats and offers better concealability.
Invest in the C2 Multi-Hit ceramic body armor for dependable protection against the most severe threats. Designed to withstand multiple hits and built for longevity, it?s the ultimate choice for those who refuse to compromise on safety.Please note that all sales of ceramic plates are final due to the inability to verify their integrity once shipped. This policy ensures that you receive the highest quality protection without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is ceramic better than steel armor???There are pros and cons to both armor types. Which armor is better depends on which is the right armor for your needs. Steel is a smart choice for those who are preparing for threats we actively face in the United States, who want to keep costs to a minimum (steel is cheaper than ceramic), and who want armor that is very durable and requires little to no maintenance. Ceramic is a good choice for those who are anticipating an environment where explosives or large-caliber armor-piercing rounds could occur and cost or low shelf-life is not an issue.
- Is ceramic body armor fragile???Ceramic’s most well-known weakness is its brittle composition which is due to how it is manufactured. Ceramic is susceptible to hairline cracks (even ones you cannot see unless you x-ray your plate) from it being tossed into a trunk or being dropped on the ground.
- Is ceramic armor better than Kevlar??Ceramic armor is better than Kevlar if you are looking for the best rifle-rated protection from a single threat. This means ceramic armor is going to perform better than Kevlar to stop up to a single armor-piercing M2 30-06 round. If your threat assessment deems handguns to be your biggest threat, and you need to conceal armor under clothing, Kevlar is a far more practical option. Lastly, keep in mind that Kevlar is used in conjunction with all ceramic plates to prevent spalling.
