Verify With the Manufacturer & NIJ Standard

Armor guidance, calculator results, and technical information on ArmorArmy.com is informational only and may be incomplete or out of date. Real-world outcomes vary by your specific gear, its certification, fit, the threats you face, and individual circumstances, and standards and products change over time. Before you make significant decisions about an armor purchase, a loadout, or the gear you rely on, you should use your own judgment and verify protection ratings, certifications, and fit with the manufacturer and against the NIJ standard. Body armor is regulated in some regions, so check the laws that apply where you live; always do your own due diligence.

Not Professional Safety, Legal, or Ballistic-Protection Advice

Content and tools on ArmorArmy.com, including the Body Armor Level Guide, Plate Carrier Weight Calculator, Armor Plate Size Finder, MOLLE Capacity Planner, Gear Loadout Weight Calculator, and Ballistic Threat Lookup, are for educational and informational purposes only and are not a substitute for the manufacturer’s specifications or certified testing. They do not constitute professional safety, legal, or ballistic-protection advice of any kind. The figures and suggestions our tools provide are general estimates, not guarantees of protection. Always verify protection ratings, certifications, and fit with the manufacturer and the NIJ standard, and confirm the laws that apply to you, before committing your money or relying on any gear. No armor guarantees safety.

Tool Accuracy and Limitations

Calculation Accuracy

Our armor calculators and tools provide estimates based on published standards, the figures you enter, widely-accepted formulas, and common guidelines. Results should be used as starting points and planning aids, not absolute values or guaranteed outcomes.

Factors Affecting Accuracy

Actual results may vary significantly due to:

• Product Factors: Differences in materials, cut, thickness, and manufacturer, and how specifications change between models.
• Threat & Conditions: The specific round, distance, angle, and number of hits, and how each affects protection.
• Loadout Choices: The plates, carrier, pouches, and accessories you choose, and how each suits your needs and role.
• Measurement Factors: Self-reported figures, rounding, estimation, and differences between estimated and actual numbers.

Our Recommendations

For best results with your gear:

• Use tool results as starting points and planning aids, not absolute values.
• Always consider your specific gear, role, and circumstances.
• Check important decisions with the manufacturer and the NIJ standard before you act.
• Consult certified testing and reputable resources for specific questions.
• Compare multiple sources to improve future decisions.
