This is a ballistic sample test of a soft armor panel from YF Protector which is a well known chinese manufacturer. The armor panel is sold with claims of beeing Level IIIA (0101.06) which means protection against .357 SIG (448 m/s) and .44 Magnum (436 m/s).
The panel is shot x3 with .357 Sig and x3 with .44 Magnum and the second .44 Magnum (at 2:50) is a complete penetration!
As it turned out the manufacturer had never made a real lab test with .357 SIG and .44 Magnum but only a backyard test with 9mm and without a chronograph for velocity readings(!). They still sold the body armor with claims of it beeing NIJ 0101.06 Level III tested.
Chinese manufacturers often use low quality materials and/or tries to save money by not using enough ballistic material for a good safety margin. Both of these issues might explain why one and not all bullets in the test penetrated.
The test result highlights the importance of choosing body armor supplier wisely.
