CRISAT

CRISAT, short for Collaborative Research Into Small Arms Technology, is an EU-NATO standard in the manufacture of military equipment. The CRISAT target is defined as a 1.6mm titanium plate supplemented by 20 layers of Kevlar. This target is intended to replicate the personal protection used by former Warsaw Pact countries, and it is still used as a reference. The CRISAT target will stop the commonly used 9x19mm Parabellum Full Metal Jacket cartridge, but it is pierced by the newer 5.7x28mm and 4.6x30mm personal defense weapon cartridges at ranges in excess of 200 meters.
