I found this about the Inceptor:
In January 2006 DefenseWatch / Soldiers for the Truth reported that a recent United States Marine Corps forensic study concluded that the Interceptor OTV body armor system was inadequate, noting that "as many as 42% of the Marine casualties who died from isolated torso injuries could have been prevented with improved protection in the areas surrounding the plated areas of the vest. Nearly 23% might have benefited from protection along the mid-axillary line of the lateral chest. Another 15% died from impacts through the unprotected shoulder and upper arm ...".
The areas surrounding the plated areas means areas not already covered by the armor they are wearing. All soldier systems now include ESBI plates to cover the Mid-Axillary line of the lateral chest - Enhanced Side Ballistic Insert - aka Side Plates.
Interceptor was inadequate in coverage area not ballistic integrity.
