So, Taco_lean is a DBI (Domestic Bad Influence) and provided me with a link to some reasonably-priced Level 4 ("rifle-proof") plates that I just could not resist...
The question is, when I pull out the Level 3A plate that's already in the vest, would it do any good to put that extra L3A plate into another L3A vest?
In effect, the other vest would be a double-layered L3A vest. Would it offer significantly more protection from pistol rounds? Minimally more?
Would the two L3A plates need to be taped together with 100-mph tape? Or leave them un-taped to shift/move against each other?
Anybody else ever been in this quandary?
ETA: added "A" to all protection levels
