    Level IV will stop rifle rounds, Level III will not.

      The Level III (not IIIA) will stop most regular rifle rounds. The Level IV is for stopping AP rifle rounds.

      2.5 Type III (Rifles)
      This armor protects against 7.62 mm Full Metal Jacketed (FMJ) bullets (U.S. Military
      designation M80), with nominal masses of 9.6 g (148 gr) impacting at a minimum velocity of
      838 m/s (2750 ft/s) or less. It also provides protection against the threats mentioned in sections
      2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.

      2.6 Type IV (Armor Piercing Rifle)

      This armor protects against .30 caliber armor piercing (AP) bullets (U.S. Military
      designation M2 AP), with nominal masses of 10.8 g (166 gr) impacting at a minimum velocity of
      869 m/s (2850 ft/s) or less. It also provides at least single hit protection against the threats
      mentioned in sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5.

        Is getting it through the manufacturer's website the only way to get it?

              Its hard to find if you're not LEO/MIL but it can be had, I see it on ebay on occasion. Only other thing you can do is find a reseller.
