As a person living in a civilized country I find it amusing that you have levels for your gear, like in a video game. “Aww man, I didn’t get enough XP in that last level to buy the level 4 chest plate!”
The levels indicate what size of bullet a vest has a chance of stopping. I’m sure your country also has some rubric for this, despite you not knowing about it.
A lot like chefs have a variety of knives or musicians have lots of instruments, each piece of gear is rated for a specific use. Level 4 plate is resistant to larger rifles while smaller armor ratings are for knives and pistols.
And no matter where you live, shit is fucked right now. Either Trump or Putin is going to nuke something and the only civilized countries seem to be between them. Good luck in your civilized country while you have it!

I promise that whatever country you live in also has levels to the body armor worn by their special police forces and military.
“Civillized” country ah yes, I love to think my society is immune to the currents of history
