Absolutely. Forget what you see in movies & on TV. A bulletproof vest may prevent a projectile from puncturing your body, but it will still feel like you have been hit with a sledge hammer. There will be bruising, bleeding and possibly broken bones (ribs/sternum) if one is shot while wearing a bulletproof vest.
