Lv4 is higher protection against common calibres found in rural Canada. In a SHTF scenario, youre more likely to take one fron Bubba and his 308 and lv4 stops that

NIJ certified Lv4 should handle at least 1 round of Armour Piercing 30-06

" WHAT WILL LEVEL 4 PLATES STOP?

The National Institute of Justice only tests 1 single strike of 7.62 M2AP (30-06 steel) against level 4 plates for NIJ 0101.06 certification. But any level 4 plate that been certified by NIJ should also stop one strike from any round less powerful than M2AP such as 5.56mm, 7.62X39mm, .308 WIN/7.62 NATO, and all handgun rounds like 9X19mm, .40S&W, and .45 ACP."
