Combat Systems® III.A ballistic insert for Agilite® K19

These ballistic inserts from the Czech brand Combat Systems are designed for plate carriers and ballistic vests, in this case for the Agilite K19 carrier, and fall into the category of so-called soft ballistics. Thanks to this, they can stop, for example, pistol caliber bullets.

Soft armor is flexible

The advantage of so-called soft armor inserts is their high flexibility – these ballistic inserts adapt to the shape of the user's body. At the same time, they protect against pistol caliber bullets (such as 9mm Luger, .44 Mag, or .357 Sig) and also against shrapnel.

Minimizing impact

The goal of Combat Systems ballistic inserts is to minimize the secondary impact (trauma effect, or the deflection of the vest at the point of bullet impact) on the user's body. Primarily, however, it is important that the ballistic inserts stop bullets from handheld weapons that have high impact energy.

The best materials

Combat Systems uses the best materials available on the market in the production of ballistic inserts. Specifically, laminates from American Honeywell, especially those based on UHMWPE from Spectra fiber. Combat Systems inserts do not need to contain any additional materials to reduce trauma, because the ballistic material itself reduces trauma excellently.

Beyond American standards

Combat Systems ballistic inserts go even further, beyond the American standard NIJ 0101.04, and are therefore able to stop bullets such as Tokarev or Makarov. These are easily available but also dangerous. It is also worth mentioning that the ballistic insert itself is enclosed in a waterproof package and is sealed using ultrasonic technology.

Tested by shooting

Combat Systems, of course, tested the effectiveness of their ballistic inserts with various types of bullets at different speeds. The following testing parameters come from their website:

• 9×19 mm 124 gr FMJ: 436m/s
