Although it stops penetration, high velocity rounds can (and do) break bones and leave massive bruises. To prevent the breakage of bones, a trauma plate is needed in addition to the skin.

I find this subject extremely interesting. There are armor systems on the horizon that will be as much as 1,000 times stronger than what is out there now, including one system that will be wearably soft, yet instantly harden the moment a round impacts it. I don't know how it works, but its amazing.

Besides that, I understand there are several DIFFERENT types of armor that will combine with a camouflaged shell that actually changes color with its background, like a chameleon.
 
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ANNOUNCES FINDINGS ON DRAGON SKIN BODY ARMOR

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP) announced today that it has determined that the Pinnacle Armor, Inc. bulletproof vest model SOV 2000.1/MIL3AF01, is not in compliance with the requirements of OJP's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) voluntary compliance testing program for bullet-resistant body armor. Effective immediately, this body armor model will be removed from the NIJ list of bullet-resistant body armor models that satisfy its requirements. Pinnacle Armor, Inc. is the maker of "dragon skin" body armor.
NIJ, OJP's research, development, and evaluation component, has reviewed evidence provided by the body armor manufacturer and has determined that the evidence is insufficient to demonstrate that the body armor model will maintain its ballistic performance over its six-year declared warranty period.
