Camo > armor.
They can't shoot at you if they can't see you, even a tank gun can't kill you if you have good camo.
Also fire retardant uniform is nice.

You see, Strelok, when enemy is shootings of every inanimate object for fear of partisan hiding behind, you win war by default because he is run out of ammunitions.

There is no "NIJ approved", armor is either .06 compliant (on a case-by-case basis) as tested by NIJ certified labs, like H.P. White, or it's not. NIJ regularly publishes a list of armor that have been tested that received certification, as well as list armor that failed to.

What a Strelok needs to do is ensure the armor manufacturer or vendor they're pursuing has the armor NIJ lab cert available in PDF on their website and that the test information shows the armor met .06 (a cop was just fried back in December for selling fake armor), not concentrate solely on armor type.
A well known fact, but bares repeating.
It's "splash", spalling pertains to armor frag on impact, not projectile frag.
Splash egress past the liner occurs after successive strikes, once the liner has been delaminated from the plate.
The US Military ran steel armor for decades. Legit USGI SAPI aren't NIJ certified, they're required to meet MIL-STD-662F and in order to meet it you need a Level-IIIA backing in your carrier.

Ceramic is what everyone needs to aim for, but steel does the job in a pinch.
Good luck hiding with camo in MOUT.
What is FLIR?
What is TIS?
What is canister?
What is flechette?
What is HE-MP-T?
I'd expected better from a citizen of the nation that held the CAT.

Yes they can, it's just not as effective. If you hide yourself and the enemy doesn't, you can take him out with one shot while he wastes thousands looking for you.
Breakable expensive things, ineffective things that replace a good machine gunner, retarded half measure thats the laughingstock of the world?
Cameron Howard
That provide an edge over the enemy.
Canister and flechette aren't new concepts.
Better than HESH

Ok you convinced me, maybe you could use a tank to kill an infantryman with good camo.
