No Cyberpunk or Sci-Fi adventure is underlined by 'leg meta'.

12 pounds weight, it's ablative so after the first hit from a laser rifle it's not protecting much against future laser rifle hits. Adding an assault vest (I assume you mean the Tactical Vest + plates on UT173) means another 18 pounds, and -1 DX for layering. Presumably there's a decent met in there as well, for another 5 pounds or so. Decent protection, for sure, and all at LC2, just like the Laser Rifle.

HEMP 10mm pistol meanwhile can only be stopped by at least 140 DR. This is what your PCs will pursue unless stopped.

This, on the other hand, is LC1, and has a terrible effective range unless the user is very skilled.
