<div class="IPBDescription">bulletproof?</div>Anyone remember the ending of Ritchie Rich when the guy is shooting at Ritchie Rich with the magnum and the super-thin super-bullet-proof jacket was stopping the bullets?
I was just thinking... Ritchie Rich would be getting some serious broken ribs and other damage/internal bleeding despite the bullet-proof hoodie. Needless to say he would be on the ground screaming... not standing there watching the bullet impacts and saying "Cool!".
Wouldn't that guy immediately realize that Ritchie Rich had some sort of bullet-proof protection on, and immediately shoot at Ritchie Rich's face (or drop him with a shot to one of his legs, and then the face?)? Most likely.
Or you know, kill Ritchie Riches parents... and then *laughing*kill Ritchie Rich (who is now an easy target crying over the bodies of his parents, like Batman). Besides did Ritchie Rich even spray the bullet proof spray on his back or you know pants, etc.
Conclusion: Ritchie Rich died. Roll credits. :P

You lose 10 IQ points.
Assuming it was possible to create such a thing, whenever any bullet hits it, the force of the impact would be spread uniformly across the areas of the body covered by the vest, and also across the tensile strength of the material.
Consider a cloth, if you form your index finger and thumb into an O and place the cloth over it, then press into the space, the cloth gets pulled inward at the edges. Now wrap the cloth around your hand and hold it with your other fingers at the back. This transfers the impact energy across the whole cloth and, assuming the cloth is strong enough and secured strongly at the back, means you can't push it in.
As even magnum bullets only have the energy of something like a baseball bat swing, if you distributed that partly into the tensile strength of a fabric and also across the entire surface torso, it would probably mitigate most internal damage.
Also Macauly Culkin starred in Pagemaster, which also had Frank Welker in it, and Frank Welker is famed for his animal impressions, and currently voices Scooby Doo. Scooby Doo is a dog. And that's as close to a lassie reference I can make while keeping this post still somewhat coherent.
Well actually I can make it even more stupid. Frank Welker currently voices Scooby Doo. Shaggy repeatedly refers to Scooby Doo as "Scoob old buddy old pal". Pal was the name of the dog that played the first Lassie.
Now I give up.
Lassie just saved a little kid that fell down the well...
That was from the 01am rerun.
Boy, do you have sucky work hours...
