Abstract
Officers are killed overwhelmingly by low- and medium-power firearms. Soft body armor provides an effective defense against those weapons. The use of concealable body armor threat IIIA will not defeat center-fire rifle threats, however. Many tactical teams are using level IIA/II tactical vests with optional plates in an effort to protect officers while supplying them with lightweight armor in which they can maneuver. There is a growing need for lightweight (hard) armor that can defeat 7.26x39, .223, and .308 bullets. Although blunt trauma is apparently a non-issue with low- and medium-velocity firearm projectiles on soft body armor, there is evidence that the hydrostatic shock involved with high-velocity (center-fire) projectiles is a survival issue, even if soft body armor could stop high-velocity projectiles. Body armor technologies are progressing at a fast pace toward thinner, lighter, and more comfortable protection. The manufacture of a small, thin, insertable (hard) plate for concealed and tactical body armor will provide a higher level of protection and assist in quelling officer fear of assault weapons.
Upgrade your Level IIIA or IIIA+ vest with our ICW (in conjunction with) Rifle Plates. Slide them into the outer pockets on any of our Tactical, First Response, or Concealed carriers for quick rifle protection. Capable of taking multiple hits, these mosaic tile, 5.8lbs hard armor plates stop up to 30-06 steel-core armor-piercing rounds when used with IIIA or IIIA+ soft armor!
