SAPI Plate Level III+ STA, is a UHMW-PE plate, by Masada Armour, that stops projectiles up to 7.62X39mm and 5.56mm. In addition to fragmentation, SAPI Plate Level III+ STA is necessary to protect against higher-velocity rifle rounds,
SAPI Plate Level III+ STA offers excellent impact resistance, low moisture absorption, and high tensile strength. It is actually a very popular engineering plastic and is sometimes confused with other similar materials. For instance, It comes in several different grades which delineate the purposes that it is best suited for.

- The protection level is III+ Multi Hits according to NIJ interim requirements.
Ballistic levels:
Bulletproof vests are trapping and slow bullets down as they attempt to pass through the vest. Therefore, Bulletproof Vests come in two different types; hard and soft. In addition, the ‘soft’ armor protects against most handgun and small arms ammunition, whereas ‘hard’ armor stops high caliber and armor-piercing rounds.
