IIRC:
PASGAT, MICH, ACH, etc are usually rated at level IIIa, pistol rounds.
Vest type body armor soldiers and SWAT wear is usually rated level IV, rifle rounds.
Besides, even if you DID get hit in the helmet with a pistol round and the helmet stopped it, you'd be so f*cking disoriented from it you would be out of action for a while.
