The main problem is maintaining that crucial protection/weight ratio. You don't want to overprepare and be a heavy, slow-moving lard. One of our few advantages against the horde is our speed and agility, and to strip ourselves of that would be foolish. I like rthrasher's and Zdon's ideas about the motorcycle gear, gorget, insertable/removable ballistic plating and that line of thinking.
Have you ever seen the S&W 500? That gun not only compensates for you, but for every man (and woman) in a five mile radius.
