Bowser I read your demo reports and they were very good. I meant I am waiting to see the specs of the submitted plate with the retail price of the plate after production. I was hoping the specs would be better than reported so far.

To answer your later questions about why people care about the rating is pretty simple really. The world does not work the way you describe. Very few people will be willing to pay double the price for an equally rated plate because they think it is better. No one will know the plate can be level 4 because they will not be able to say it is. BORK will not be allowed to claim that their plate will stop anything more than what it is tested at for Level III. No lawyer will allow them to say "hey buy my certified level III plate that really is better than level IV, trust us".

So yes if you care about BORK as a business then level matters. Why else would companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and put out PRs to get it.

45% Collateral damage

One thing to mention is a stat on the shatter collateral damage that I came across in research. 45% of injury from being shot wearing ceramic is from the shatter and spall of the armor itself. Kryron doesnt do either of these so guess what the % is for Kryron armor collateral damage? How about 0%.
