ReaperX 3X500 Engagement Plate™
A stand-alone armor plate with multiple-hit capability.
At the core of the ReaperX 3X500 Engagement Plate™ is our commitment to superior protection and reliability. This plate isn’t just a defensive tool—it’s a battle-tested shield, crafted for those who demand excellence in the face of danger.
We manufacture every plate from certified AR-500 steel with a Brinell Hardness Rating of 505–518 BHN, ensuring maximum impact resistance. Each plate is laser-cut for precision and fully tested by an independent lab, providing confidence that your protection is backed by rigorous standards.
The ReaperX 3X500 Engagement Plate™ is rated to withstand up to six hits from 7.62 NATO rounds (.308 Winchester) traveling up to 2780 fps—offering proven multi-hit protection for high-threat environments.

For those seeking a more ergonomic and versatile design, we also offer the Shooter Edition™ in:
10x12 Shooter Edition™ – featuring angled cuts on both the top and bottom for improved shoulder movement and weapon handling.
11x14 Shooter Edition™ – providing maximum coverage with enhanced maneuverability thanks to the shooter cuts.
Coating Options:
You have two choices when it comes to the plate finish—Base Coat and Spall Coat—each designed to meet specific needs.
✅ Base Coat
This is a single-layer protective coating that seals the steel plate against environmental elements, including moisture and corrosion.
It enhances durability without significantly increasing weight.
Ideal for users who plan to use a plate carrier with additional spall protection like a trauma pad or an anti-spall wrap.
✅ Spall Coat
This option adds an extra-thick layer of anti-spall material that captures bullet fragmentation and prevents ricocheting metal from causing injury.
Provides maximum protection against spall, making it perfect for high-threat environments where close-quarters impact is a risk.
Ideal for users who prefer an all-in-one plate with built-in spall mitigation, without the need for additional accessories.
Comparison: Base Coat vs. Spall Coat
Base Coat is the lighter, more streamlined option, preferred for users who prioritize mobility and who can add external anti-spall protection if needed.
Spall Coat offers enhanced safety straight from the factory, providing superior fragmentation protection, especially in situations where adding external spall mitigation may be impractical or less reliable.
In summary:
Choose Base Coat if you’re looking for maximum agility and minimal weight, and you plan to integrate other protective layers.
Choose Spall Coat if you want the highest level of stand-alone protection, especially for close-quarters combat or high-threat scenarios.
