The B4 established itself as the second widely accepted resistance level. It applies to vehicles that resist shots from a .44 Magnum handgun, as well as attacks with batons.

They are also intended to protect against criminal acts such as street robbery and car-jacking.

Z07 - B7-REINFORCEMENT ON SPECIAL PROTECTION VERSION

The B6/B7 resistance level applies to vehicles that basically meet the requirements for B6 (7.62x51 caliber rifle bullets), but are more strongly armored in particularly exposed areas, so that, in accordance with B7 standards, they can withstand even armor-piercing hard-core shells of the same caliber.
