What would the AR of this be..?

Depends on if you still use the normal AR rules or not.

I don't.

It would have an A.R. of 12. It's considered a Hard Armor Vest.

What is the official formula for figuring out the PV of an object or armour?

Armor doesn't have a PV, the only thing that really does are bullets.

I don't.

so if you don't use AR..what do you use?

Check out Making Armor Useful Again for just a few of the many ideas out there that replace AR.

My system is in the alluded to post.

What's a "Nice idea but way too much work"?

The Compendium of Contemporary Weapons has this for armor. As for objects, I would look at the PV of the gun and/or bullet, and what's being hit, and then use some common sense.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen this available in my local store for quite some time now. I don't know if it's their fault or Palladium's, but whatever the case, Palladium needs to do a follow up featuring current guns. It would also be nice if they would cover some additional military vehicles, jets, boats, tanks, and what have you.

Hard armor vest basically. As a vest, it won't have a very high A.R.

If you're talking about lab conditions, specifically aiming at the ceramic plates in the vest, that particular part of it might have an A.R. of 18 or so, but that wouldn't be applicable in gameplay unless the foe for some reason made a successful called shot to the ceramic part. I'd go with A.R. 12 overall.

You mean what I know!

So, what is the formula for objects then? How do you determine the PV of an object (assume you know it's AR) like a steel door, or a shield?

You don't.

Or, I should have said "the resistance to penetration" for the same.
