You really need to learn the NIJ lingo... Hard armor only comes in two levels ... Level 3 and level 4. Then it can be Stand alone or ICW a vest.
Now soft armor comes in Level 2 and LEVEL 3A... there is no level 3 in soft armor. I know its confusing and not really makes sense but there be the government
involvement

I should hope so. I don't want just any John Q Public to have access to it in my honest opinion. At least if they have a PAL/RPAL, they have been screened.

The last thing I want is for some criminal to have steady access to body armor.

how about just a quick criminal check before being allowed to buy... instead of disqualifying most of the public (most of which are law abiding) just because of some gang bangers.

god damn it man... wish you had not posted this, you're just getting me pumped up lol i'll save the rest for another thread.


I'm definitely in for a set of 10x12

Riiight.... 'cause criminals have problems getting things like that right? After all, criminals don't have unregistered handguns and don't transport them without ATT's either do they....
Not saying anybody needs this but don't think for one minute that putting restrictions on purchasing will ever prevent the bad guys from getting them!

It also provides protection against the threats mentioned in [Type I].

Type II
(9 mm; .357 Magnum) This armor protects against 9 mm Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose (FMJ RN) bullets, with nominal masses of 8.0 g (124 gr) at a reference velocity of 367 m/s (1205 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and 357 Magnum Jacketed Soft Point (JSP) bullets, with nominal masses of 10.2 g (158 gr) at a reference velocity of 436 m/s (1430 ft/s ± 30 ft/s). It also provides protection against the threats mentioned in [Types I and IIA].

Type IIIA
(High Velocity 9 mm; .44 Magnum) This armor protects against 9 mm Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose (FMJ RN) bullets, with nominal masses of 8.0 g (124 gr) at a reference velocity of 436 m/s (1430 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and .44 Magnum Semi Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) bullets, with nominal masses of 15.6 g (240 gr) at a reference velocity of 436 m/s (1430 ft/s ± 30 ft/s). It also provides protection against most handgun threats, as well as the threats mentioned in [Types I, IIA, and II].

Type III
(Rifles) This armor protects against 7.62 mm Full Metal Jacketed (FMJ) bullets (U.S. Military designation M80), with nominal masses of 9.6 g (148 gr) at a reference velocity of 847 m/s (2780 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) or less.

It also provides at least single hit protection against the threats mentioned in [Types I, IIA, II, IIIA, and III].
 
I would also highly recommend BALCS cut soft armor. With the sheer number of carriers available, both overt and covert, it's basically the standard.

Another option to consider is interceptor-cut. The carriers are dirt cheap everywhere on ebay, though I don't know what the market would be like for it.
