Model LV7000-X Hard Armor Plate

Protection Level: Special Rifle Threats — Stand Alone

The LV7000 is a lightweight, multi-curve hard armor plate engineered for stand-alone protection against selected rifle threats. Constructed from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with a durable ballistic nylon cover, the LV7000 balances reduced weight with practical rifle-threat performance for patrol and tactical carriers. This is not an NIJ certified plate. 

Key Features

 

• Multi-curve ergonomic shape for improved fit and wearer mobility.

• Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene construction for high energy absorption at reduced weight.

• Durable ballistic nylon outer cover for abrasion resistance and field durability.

• Designed to defeat specified rifle rounds including 5.56×45 M193 (55-gr) at velocities up to 3050 fps and 7.62×39 PS Ball (123-gr) up to 2250 fps.

• Compact 10″×12″ example sizing (other sizes available) with a thin 0.80″ profile and low carry weight (10×12 ≈ 2.2 lb).

• Stand-alone protection—does not require soft armor back-up for the tested threats; however, it is not NIJ certified.

 

Threats Defeated

 

• 5.56mm x 45mm, 55-grain Ball (M193) Velocities up to 3050 FPS
• 7.62mm x 39mm, 123-grain (PS Ball/MSC) Velocities up to 2250 FPS

 

Size and Weights

 

Size: 10”x12”

Why Choose the LV7000

 

• Lightweight rifle protection: Polyethylene construction keeps weight down while delivering meaningful stopping power against common rifle rounds.

• Wearable for extended use: The multi-curve profile and modest thickness reduce printing and improve wearer acceptance for daily or patrol use.

• Field-tough finish: Ballistic nylon cover and robust construction stand up to routine operational wear.

 

Suggested Uses

 

• Patrol/duty plate carriers where reduced weight and rifle threat resistance are both priorities.

• Tactical teams and entry operators who need a thin, ergonomic plate that integrates with standard carriers.

• Security and protective services seeking a balance between mobility and rifle-level defense.
