Introducing the new TRUTH SNAP RIFLE PLATES

Truth SNAP Rifle Plate Lineup

‍

"We're proud to introduce the new Truth SNAP Rifle Plate System. It features a lighter and slimmer design, providing enhanced ballistic performance compared to common industry alternatives," says Josh Jones, Angel Armor's Director of Armor. "Our plates display a live edge that reveals the ballistic materials throughout. No fillers, no foam, no covers — just ballistics. We're addressing one of the most common complaints among law enforcement and first responders: the bulk and weight of traditional body armor."

At the heart of this system is its modularity and versatility. The Truth SNAP Plate System includes several product variations, each engineered to meet specific needs and threat levels. The lineup features the 308 Standard, 308 Premium  and 308 Ultra base plates, along with the ceramic 855 Strike Face Plate. This range allows users to customize their protection based on their unique requirements and operational environments.

The Truth SNAP Rifle Plate Series isn't just about top-notch protection; it's designed with comfort in mind as well. These plates are engineered to conform to the body's natural contours, making long shifts more bearable. After all, body armor that's comfortable is body armor that gets worn, and that's what really keeps our heroes safe out there.

The Truth SNAP system stands out for its impressive scalability. Available in a range of sizes, weights, and price points, the system allows users to easily "SNAP" the ceramic 855 Strike Face Plate onto any Truth SNAP base plate. This modular design enables officers to quickly adjust their level of protection to match evolving threat scenarios, without having to invest in completely new sets of armor. The scalability of the Truth SNAP system is a truly unique and valuable feature, empowering end-users to adapt their personal protective equipment to the demands of dynamic, high-risk environments.

The technical specifications of the Truth SNAP system are equally impressive. For instance, the 308 Ultra offers a thickness as low as 0.53" (13.5mm) and weights ranging from 0.65 lb to 2.21 lb, depending on the cut and size. These specs highlight Angel Armor's commitment to providing maximum protection with minimal bulk.

The Truth SNAP Plate System by Angel Armor is more than just a new product — it's a reimagining of what body armor can be. By prioritizing safety, scalability, and wearability, Angel Armor has created a system that truly meets the needs of modern law enforcement and military personnel. As threats evolve, so too must our defenses, and the Truth SNAP Plate System is leading the charge in this crucial evolution.

The most comfortable vest I've strapped on in 23 years of law enforcement. The RISE moves with my body, and the lightweight Truth SNAP plates mean I never have to retrieve gear from my trunk. Game changing products.

Our testing was conducted on an NIJ IIIA ballistic door panel insert manufactured by Angel Armor. The panel was field tested on a 2015 Dodge Charger patrol squad car. Weighing just under ten pounds, the panel slipped into the driver's door with relative ease. No additional mounting hardware or brackets were required. None of the inner door panels, handles or inside trim needed to be removed and the panel slipped between the glass side window and the outer door metal. The panel was secured under the trim piece that ran along the top edge of the driver's door. Our fleet technician took approximately 20 minutes to install the panel, but with more familiarity and reputation, I would expect this time to be reduced. The panel rode nicely and did not vibrate or generate any noticeable noise. It did not interfere with normal window and door locking operations. A small handle allowed the panel to be easily removed and theoretically transferred to another vehicle. After removal from the vehicle installation, the panel was tested at the range. Using a wooden frame for support and portability, the panel withstood various .38, .357, .40, and .44 caliber handgun rounds at 20 feet, as well as 12 gauge 00 buck and slug rounds. The panel failed to stop .223 and .308 rounds (which was anticipated.) Considering the rating was IIIA, the panel performed as expected. The panel was not range tested while installed in a vehicle door. Our testing showed that the panel performed as advertised and would be a worthwhile consideration when outfitting future squad cars.
