at and t cellular: The New NIJ 07 Explained: HG vs RF

What Does HG and RF Stand for in the New NIJ 07 Standard?

The new NIJ 0101.07 standard changes the way ballistic protection is classified. Instead of the old Levels II, IIIA, III, and IV, the new system introduces HG (Handgun) and RF (Rifle) designations for clearer threat categories.

HG1 & HG2 → Soft armor protection against handgun threats, from 9mm and .357 Mag up to .44 Mag.
RF1, RF2 & RF3 → Hard armor protection against rifle threats, from 5.56 and 7.62 rounds up to armor-piercing .30-06 AP.

RTS Tactical has armor across every level, from Commander & Relentless Soft Armor (HG1/HG2) to LEGION and Centurion Shields (RF1), and plates ranging up to RF3 for the highest rifle protection.

The bottom line: know your threat level. NIJ 07 gives departments and civilians a clearer roadmap for choosing the right gear.
