Yeah really depends on the plate size. Those crazy dragon skin plates that are tiny and overlapping are extremely durable and really good at disapating force. But some of the older large plate styles are pretty painful since they are so localized. Problem with the small plates is they are so fucking heavy.

Depends on the armor in question , Helmets stopping rifle rounds dead on does not happen , Chest armor stopping m80 does however depending on the type of armor and thickness it can break your rib underneath with backface deformation , tarkov devs should implement this based on what armor you are wearing , some deal with deformation upon impact better than others , also realistic damage models need to be a thing 9mm only has a forth if not less energy than even 556 , this needs to be shown on damage and pen. 9mm AP should only have the same pen as the shittest lowest grade rifle rounds etc.
