You need a plate carrier rated for 7.62mm ball or better. Armor penetrating rounds are most likely going to cut through. You can snipe guys on the sides or lower guys and still hit them. It is by means perfect, its to protect your heart, lungs, stomach and part of your liver. If you get hit in the head by a pudgey 17 year old Illinois resident, you'll still go down and die.

They're buying helmets too... Hey, I think they do protect agains headshots in some videogame.
Yeah, helmets don't do anything against a bullet, they are good for fragmentation.
Pelvis is another good target. Takes out the lateral support and drops most targets.
Plates only cover heart and lung area, and vests end at waist. Pelvis is a open target without a groin protector flap.
