Stopping it from penetrating if I get hit by one.

Totally dependent on mass, velocity, and angle. If you check out the NIJ link you can see what a IIIA panel is rated for. I know it works well against most fragmentation but the answer for a rifle ricochet would have to be "it depends".

I have a Blue Force Gear Plate Minus and a couple of the TYR ceramic plates for a bad guy with a rifle set up for work. The shoulder pads help with the weight of the setup on the shoulders. I also slid a plate-shaped piece of one of those blue foam camping pads from Walmart behind the front plate because when I was trying to don it quickly I kept beating the hell out of my forehead and nose.

Overall a very simple setup (plates, 2 mags, med kit & TQs) for my LE needs, which are very different from Mick's.

I got my plates yesterday, here is my set up. I am happy with it. Total weight is a little over 16 lbs with 2 full mags.
With both the soft and PC my total armor weight is right around 24 lbs.
Total cost is right around $465.00 (my soft armor was around $700.00.
