Default Re: Modern Body Armor

MIJ IV level armour is supposed to stop level NIJ III threats as well. Those linked plates, claiming level III/IV protection seem to be rated for a single hit from a LIV threat and multiple from a LIII threat. I'd give them DR25 plus another DR10 that's semi-ablative. If you're already rating armour plates as semi-ablative, make the extra DR ablative. You could also put it behind the DR25 (so that minor threats don't scrape it off immediately).
