There are handgun threats and rifle threats. Soft bullet resistant material stop handgun rounds and fragmentation but only a rigid rifle plate stops a rifle round. Level IIA, Level II and Level IIIA will stop the majority of pistol round plus 12 gauge and OO buckshot but no material is ever 100% ‘bulletproof’.  We only sell the current NIJ Level II or IIIA 0101.06 standard, (the latter also protects against Level IIA & Level II).  All bulletproof clothing is NIJ IIIA!

​Rifle rounds require Level III or Level IV ballistic plates made from either steel, ceramic or polyethylene – usually 10″ x 12″ weighs from 4 to 9 lbs per plate to cover the Chest and/or Back. Doubling up two Level IIIA WILL NOT stop a rifle projectile!
