The design assumes that the wearer is running away from the shooter. A basic bullet proof backpack is still very good, since most shooters are shooting for center of mass. Make sure you get Level III which is good up to 7.62 FMJ rounds. It will not stop AP.

I have an acquaintance that works in NY that has rifle plate in his back pack. His plan is to run to the nearest corner, squat down and hold it up as a shield.
