To my understanding most intermediate rounds like 5.56/.223 and 7.62x39 will go straight through body armor. It is also to my understanding that most body armor only protects the bearer from small arms fire such as those from a handgun. In a SHTF situation one would most likely be engaged from further away with rifles. If one is not engaged in at a distance, one could expect a guerilla like attack; I mean, after all, in a SHTF dumb dumbs do not survive, you will be attacked by the smarter and more vicious. Also, body armor will not protect you from the crudest of weapons, like baseball bats with infinite ammo, flaming torches, rocks, spears and molitov cocktails.
You work your way up. Every list has a priority, and you can never be prepared enough. But if you don't have fire retardant clothes and a 1950's diving suit, you shouldn't be talking down to the people with large caches of ammo and guns. After all, the best defense is to not exchange gunfire right?
