An attacker who would jump out of a crowd (think Regan) and started shooting would go for the largest target, the center of mass, in essence the chest or back as it would be easy to hit. If one knew in advance the target was wearing a vest then they might choose a scoped rifle from a distance, which could easily penitrate a vest, or aim for the head.
Looks like you inherited Rodney Dangerfield's position VW.

You're not impressing anyone with your high powered bs jc. State of the art is ceramic plates and that vest sure as hell doesn't have them. VW seems to know what he's talking about.
