CONT

Frag vests with ballistic (armour) plates are the primary source of protection against shrapnel and small arms projectiles. ... The ballistic plates can be steel, ceramic or high performance polyethylene ...

CONT

Whilst soft flexible body armour can defeat most handgun and sub-machine gun threats, the stopping of high velocity rifle rounds demands a ballistic plate. Almost obsolete steel plates have given way to ceramics and composite materials which are unlikely to cause secondary injury from fragments. Armour plates are placed in pockets in the soft armour carrier, normally to protect chest and back, however the customer may specify additional pockets for smaller side plates ... where the vest design permits this. For those vests which do not incorporate chest/back pockets a throw over plate carrying bib is available.
