Good plates are made from UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) now. Better plates are a pe and ceramic composite. The flack jackets we started with weighed 17-18 pounds, then they moved us to a balcs and spear units, then 25 pound unit and now a 30 pound one. My current civilian unit is beyond cutting edge at 2.6 lbs per plate and 0.9" thick. New material is in development that will cut that in half. Ricochets happen all the time. The further the shot angle is from perpendicular, the more likely a ricochet. I've been hit with more spalled jacket case material than I care to remember. Until about ten years ago, a piece would break loose and work it's way out about once a year. Real pita.
