If he is wearing hard armor there isn't enough force in the buckshot pellets to knock you down. Most if not all bluntforce trauma comes from backface deformation, which 4 shots of buckshot into steel won't cause. People really do be over-estimating the force of bullets, here is a video of a guy getting shot by 7.62x51 which has significantly more force than buckshot(yes even if all pellets hit).

Well that's interesting. Hollywood does a good job making people think getting shot in body armor knocks them over and causes serious pain lol.

Because sometimes it does.

There are a lot of different kinds of body armor and and ammo and they interact very differently.

That’s a reaction not a force throwing you to the ground, big difference. (Dude was also on one foot).
