Always seems like there are big parts of the chest not covered by the Kevlar. I get that there maybe aren’t organs up by your shoulders, but, seems like it makes it easier for bullets to come in from the side. Why not just have more coverage?

The whole point of body armor is to make someone relatively safe from dying and restrict their movement as little as possible. So, yea you could make someone way safer by adding more protection elsewhere on the body, but then both the weight and the shape start to restrict movement to a point that isn’t acceptable for a lot of people. Basically it’s better to take a shot to the arm while running away than to be weighed down by your vest so you can’t run.
