Well, the ceramic plate inserts will stop even 7.62x51mm ammo, but at the price of being even heavier. And if you don't get hit right on the insert, which covers a limited part of the body, the AP will get you anyway. So I agree with you because there is only so much weighty armor that a soldier can wear and still carry gun and ammo, gernades, etc.

So power the armor so it carries it's own weight and some more....
Oh.. RAH already thought of that. We need to be designing and building it.

Good afternoon.
One of the local mountain hippy kids who's serving with the 101st took a round center mass that just left a bruise because of his insert. He called my friend on his cell phone and laughed about it to him.
Airborne all the way, eh.
