Some people say that the Army’s Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) doesn’t really protect you well at all. I don’t have any first-hand observations to say if it does or doesn’t.

Not without the trauma plates. But with them it's good against at least 7.62x39. Without it, it's good for shrapnel. Most military "body armor" was designed against shrapnel, at least until recently.
