Standard Level III plates often present restrictive profiles that interfere with weapon buttstock seats, tactical vehicle operation, and close-quarters maneuverability. The HighCom RSTP (Rifle Special Threat Protection) Gen 2 addresses these ergonomic and tactical limitations by delivering certified standalone Level III ballistic performance in an ultra-thin, lightweight footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for government agencies, municipal departments, and defense procurement officers, the RSTP Gen 2 utilizes an advanced Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite matrix. This second-generation engineering provides robust multi-hit stopping power against prevalent high-velocity rifle rounds while maintaining an exceptionally slim profile. Its standalone capability eliminates the need for soft armor backing, making it a seamless upgrade for existing tactical vest configurations and institutional gear standardization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial Threat Ballistic Defense:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered to defeat severe high-velocity rifle threats including 5.56x45mm M193 and 7.62x39mm Mild Steel Core (MSC) rounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUltra-Slim Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Exceptionally thin architectural design reduces bulk to maximize operational mobility, vehicle entry\/exit speed, and proper rifle buttstock placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAdvanced UHMWPE Matrix Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Leverages high-density polyethylene technology to drastically cut overall load weight compared to traditional steel or ceramic plates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStandalone Protection Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully rated to defeat targeted threats independently without requiring additional soft armor backing inserts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRuggedized Exterior Enclosure:\u003c\/b\u003e Wrapped in heavy-duty 1000D CORDURA nylon to shield internal ballistic materials from severe abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComprehensive Geometry Options:\u003c\/b\u003e Available in Single and Multi-Curve geometries across Full, Shooters, Swimmers, and SAPI cuts to match various mission profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e10-Year Lifecycle Warranty:\u003c\/b\u003e Covered by a 10-year manufacturer warranty on ballistic materials, supporting agency budget planning and fleet longevity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Guardian RSTP Gen 2 (Rifle Special Threat Protection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBallistic Protection Rating:\u003c\/b\u003e NIJ 0101.06 Level III Standalone + Rifle Special Threats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial Threats Defeated:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.62x39mm MSC (123 gr at 2,400 ft\/s), 5.56x45mm M193 (55 gr at 3,250 ft\/s), 7.62x51mm M80 NATO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBallistic Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Advanced UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThickness \/ Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 0.55 inches (14 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCurvature Options:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Curve, Multi-Curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCut Profiles:\u003c\/b\u003e Full Cut, Shooters Cut, Swimmers Cut, SAPI Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSizing Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\"x7\" to 11\"x14\" (including SAPI Extra Small through Extra Large)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.4 lbs (6\"x6\" Full Cut) up to 6.4 lbs (11\"x14\" SAPI XL Multi-Curve)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExterior Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e 1000D CORDURA Textured Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBuoyancy:\u003c\/b\u003e Positive (Floats)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e 10-year warranty on ballistic material; 1-year warranty on exterior cover and workmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HighCom","offers":[{"title":"7.25 x 11.5 - Multi Curve\/SAPI (XS)","offer_id":49075526631668,"sku":"HCA-RSTPG2-MC-SAPI-XS","price":826.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.75 x 11.75 - Multi Curve\/SAPI (S)","offer_id":49075526664436,"sku":"HCA-RSTPG2-MC-SAPI-S","price":837.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 x 12.5 - Multi Curve\/SAPI (M)","offer_id":49075526697204,"sku":"HCA-RSTPG2-MC-SAPI-M","price":889.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 x 13.25 - Multi Curve\/SAPI (L)","offer_id":49075526729972,"sku":"HCA-RSTPG2-MC-SAPI-L","price":932.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 x 14 - Multi Curve\/SAPI (XL)","offer_id":49075526762740,"sku":"HCA-RSTPG2-MC-SAPI-XL","price":1038.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/files\/Guardian-RSTP-Gen-2-Full-Cut-1012-Special-Threat-Plate.jpg?v=1786066489","url":"https:\/\/rescue-supply.com\/products\/highcom-rstp-gen-2-level-iii-rifle-special-threat-protection-standalone-armor-plate","provider":"Rescue Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
