Point Blank Spike Protection Armor | NIJ 0115.00 Stab-Resistant Systems

The Point Blank Spike Protection Armor Systems are designed for corrections officers and public safety professionals who face threats from sharp, pointed instruments commonly encountered in correctional environments. Engineered to provide puncture and spike resistance, these armor systems help protect against improvised weapons such as shanks, awls, and other pointed objects.

Unlike traditional ballistic armor, which is designed primarily to resist firearm threats, spike-resistant armor incorporates specialized, densely constructed materials that help prevent pointed instruments from separating individual fibers and penetrating the protective panel.

Point Blank offers three spike protection configurations under the NIJ 0115.00 standard, allowing agencies to select the appropriate level of protection based on their operational requirements.

Technical Specifications

Available Spike Protection Systems

Point Blank offers three spike-resistant armor packages with varying protection levels, weights, and thicknesses.

Protection Level Overview

• Spike Level 1: The lightest and thinnest available configuration, designed for agencies seeking Level 1 spike protection.
• Spike Level 2: An intermediate configuration offering Level 2 spike protection with increased material weight and thickness.
• Spike Level 3: The highest spike protection level listed in this product series, with the greatest material weight and thickness.

Weight measurements are expressed as pounds per square foot (psf). Actual armor weight will depend on panel size and configuration.

Spike & Puncture Protection

Spike-resistant armor is specifically engineered to address threats that differ from those encountered with ballistic weapons.

Sharp, pointed instruments can penetrate conventional fabrics by separating individual fibers rather than tearing through the material. Point Blank utilizes combinations of fine, densely constructed materials designed to resist this type of penetration.

These protective systems are intended for correctional environments where officers may encounter improvised weapons, including:

• Handmade shanks
• Sharpened metal objects
• Awls and pointed instruments
• Improvised spikes
• Other puncture threats commonly encountered in detention facilities

Important: Ballistic-resistant armor does not automatically provide spike or stab protection, and spike-resistant armor does not necessarily provide ballistic protection. Agencies should select armor based on the specific threats identified in their operational environment.
