Although the jacket is steel, it is quite soft. I can cut a 7.62X39 Tula bullet in half with wire cutters, virtually no discernible difference performing the same experiment on a 150 grain 30-30 bullet. Actual "armor piercing" has a hardened steel core which does not expand and deform against the dense weave of a vest.
I have not tested anything against a vest because I only have one vest and don't want to ruin it.
