Having a carrier with ammo and medkit would be just as useful as having a rifle.
I can agree. I'm just at a point where I have some money to spend on other things first. First is the rifle. I have a stripped lower that I've been meaning to build up for years. Need to finally spend the money and do that. Then I'm planning to take some defensive shooting classes (handgun and rifle) along with a stop the bleed class. Then once I'm done with that, I'll feel like the next step is spending ~$500 on level IV plates.
Or you can YouTube guys who make their own plates with fiberglass welding curtains, resin, and ceramic tile
. It's actually impressive how well some of them work.

level IV plates.
those types are pretty much "one and done" if they're ever hit. plus they have a shelf life since most of them are ceramic. at least with steel, they'll take some abuse before failing.
pros/cons... weigh them. figuratively and literally.
also, level iv might be overkill. don't want to deter you since i got III+, but who's going to be shooting 30-06 black tips?
