As I recall, not sure, they had problems with the 30 caliber M1 Carbine. When the Chinese came into the Korean war the carbine would not penetrate the padded clothing worn by the chinese. Does any body know about this???

More than one report from the Korean War says that many of the Chinese troops who were sent into battle habitually smoked opium, and were found scattered across the battlefield with the pipes in their pockets; opium is a narcotic pain reliever, so I can imagine a non-CNS hit not having any immediate effect. I'd tend to believe that as a more likely cause of "failures" than a simple quilted jacket.
