Yeah, I wouldn’t go with steel plates; they are heavy and there are mixed reviews on if they will get you killed when the bullet impacts steel as the round can fracture essentially causing shrapnel. Before all the cyber commandos tell be about the special, amazing, magical, high tech, lining on the steel (kinda feels like a truck bed lining) that makes that not happen…. Yeah, I don’t buy it. Not to mention moving with them really sucks. I’ve moved distance with both steel, ceramic, and FRAS armor before, and I can tell you which I preferred. (The steel and FRAS was on the civilian side the ceramic plate was while in the military.)Looking into purchasing body armor/plate carrier.

I think level 3 for scouts and level 4 for home defense / stationary / ambush defenders. Level 4 is typically heavy and would ware (pun intended) on the person carrying it. The scouts would need freedom of movement. Weight does have it's costs in fatigue and mobility. Financial cost is also a big factor. The main purpose of scouting is to detect threats, not to engage them.
A good solar / battery powered infrared light, connected to trip wires / motion sensors would make an ideal perimeter alarm system. Defenders equipped night vision devices could see the alarm but most likely the intruders would not be aware they had tripped an alarm. Good advance warning system and semi-budget friendly. The perimeter alarm could provide enough time to prepare a warm reception.
