Armor Classification*

Threat Level	Round/Model	Protection
TYPE II-A	.9mm; .40 S&W	This armor protects against 9 mm FMJ RN bullets with a specified mass of 8.0 g (124 gr) and a velocity of 355 m/s � 9.1 m/s (1165 ft/s � 30 ft/s) and with .40 S&W FMJ bullets with a specified mass of 11.7 g (180 gr) and a velocity of 325 m/s � 9.1 m/s (1065 ft/s � 30 ft/s). It also provides protection against most other .25 and .32 caliber handgun rounds. Type I body armor is light. This is the minimum level of protection every officer should have, and the armor should be routinely worn at all times while on duty. Most agencies today, however, because of increasing threats, opt for a higher level of protection.
Type II	.357 Magnum; 9mm	This armor protects against 9 mm FMJ RN bullets with a specified mass of 8.0 g (124 gr) and a velocity of 379 m/s �9.1 m/s (1245 ft/s � 30 ft/s) and with .357 Magnum JSP bullets with a specified mass of 10.2 g (158 gr) and a velocity of 408 m/s �9.1 m/s (1340 ft/s � 30 ft/s). It also provides protection against such threats as .45 Auto., .38 Special +P, and some other factory loads in caliber .357 Magnum and 9mm, as well as the Type I threats. Type II�A body armor is well suited for full-time use by police departments, particularly those seeking protection for their officers from lower velocity .357 Magnum and 9mm ammunition.
Type III�A	.44 Magnum, .357 SIG	This armor protects against.357 SIG FMJ FN bullets with a specified mass of 8.1 g (125 gr) and a velocity of 430 m/s � 9.1 m/s (1410 ft/s � 30 ft/s) and with .44 Magnum SJHP bullets with a specified mass of 15.6 g (240 gr) and a velocity of 408 m/s � 9.1 m/s (1340 ft/s � 30 ft/s).It also provides protection against most handgun threats, as well as the Type I, II�A, and II threats. Type III�A body armor provides the highest level of protection currently available from concealable body armor and is generally suitable for routine wear in many situations.
Type III	high-powered rifle, .762mm., 5.56mm., 12-gauge rifle slug	This armor, normally of hard or semirigid construction, protects against 7.62mm full-metal jacketed bullets (U.S. military designation M80), with nominal masses of 9.7 g(150 gr), impacting at a velocity of 838 m/s(2,750 ft/s) or less. It also provides protection against threats such as 223 Remington (5.56mm FMJ), 30 Carbine FMJ, and 12-gauge rifled slug, as well as the Type I through III�A threats. Type III body armor is clearly intended only for tactical situations when the threat warrants such protection, such as barricade confrontations involving sporting rifles.
Type IV	.30�06 caliber armor-piercing bullets	This armor protects against .30 caliber AP bullets (U.S. Military designation M2 AP) with a specified mass of 10.8 g (166 gr) and a velocity of 878 m/s � 9.1 m/s (2880 ft/s � 30 ft/s). It also provides at least single-hit protection against the Type I through III threats. Type IV body armor provides the highest level of protection currently available. Because this armor is intended to resist �armor piercing� bullets, it often uses ceramic materials. Such materials are brittle in nature and may provide only single-shot protection, since the ceramic tends to break up when struck. As with Type III armor, Type IV armor is clearly intended only for tactical situations when the threat warrants such protection.
