What we want is either gone or over priced.
Time to visit gun shows is long gone.

Marine Corps Dictionary:
MOLLE

Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment. A system which replaced the traditional harness, belt and pack system to allow the Marine to "wear" rather than "carry" his or her equipment.

The Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) is a ceramic plate fielded by the US military. It was first used in the Interceptor body armor, a ballistic vest. It is now also used in the Improved Outer Tactical Vest as well as the Modular Tactical Vest, in addition to commercially available "plate carriers". The kevlar Interceptor vest itself is designed to stop projectiles up to and including 9x19mm Parabellum submachine gun rounds, in addition to fragmentation. To protect against higher velocity rifle rounds, SAPI plates are needed.

thank you very much. we of course never needed that kind of stuff onboard - at least not in engineering div. the topsiders got to play with the fun stuff.. there was a huge ( to me ) belt fed gun with harness mounted to it. welded to the deck - 7 foot long barrrel - i heard the gunners refer to it as a chain gun.. cant remember the caliber - possible 20mm?? the casings were at least the size of rolls of quarters and the round was twice and a half a roll qarters from primer to tip - i just happened to be topside one day when they were practicing.. was a really cool weapon.. sorry i dont remember more..
hope this was not too far off topic - -
