Few non-military/police heroes ever wear one, unless they are a major character and it is dramatically required that they get shot. Then we're not told about it in advance and they'll look dead for a few moments.
In military or combat fiction, the bulletproof vest goes hand-in-hand with the Kevlar helmet. Any character who removes their helmet when a gunfight has seemingly stopped automatically takes a round in the head, unless that character is a hero, and needs to show his face for some dialogue. A common way for the military Red Shirt to bite it.
In fiction, a concealable soft vest is capable of stopping anything up to and including magnum centerfire armour piercing rifle rounds. The shot might knock you down and leave you with a hole in your shirt, but you'll get up just fine. In games, vests either stop all damage or reduce it, but are often destroyed when they take enough damage (See Body Armor as Hit Points). Video game injuries are a matter of mathematical equation, whereas in Real Life there is a great deal of randomness involved.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In reality, the kevlar armour issued to police, some close protection details, and VIPs will only cover then against handgun ammunition. Shotgun rounds are largely ineffective against armor, due to even the stiffer shot loads being only equivalent to 30-something caliber spherical balls — not good for piercing. Top tier soft armor will stop all but the nastiest handgun rounds, and hard armor is functionally impervious to pistol rounds. To defeat rifle ammunition, you'll need armour plates made of steel or ceramic.
The difference is that steel and other metal inserts are more multihit resistant, while ceramic has the advantage of sheer strength, and higher strength per area, as well as weight. Plates designed to stop the bigger bullets are also very bulky and not very form-fitting, thus unlikely to be worn underneath clothing. Soft armor imparts great impact, but hard armor plates are basically immune to it, only really bruising with heavier rounds from snipers.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Fictional bulletproof vests may also stop blades, ice picks, or similar weapons; however, in real life, soft armor vests intended only for protection against bullets are ineffective against stabbing. This is because the armor uses high-strength fiber cloth to spread out the impact of a bullet, but the point and edge of a knife can slip between the weave of the fabric and cut it open. There are actually vests for defending against stabs, though. There are two different stab vest styles. One is designed to protected against engineered blades, such as those belonging to knives. The other is meant to protect against spike type blades, like those typical of improvised stabbing weapons, such as screwdrivers and shivs. Most military body armor will hold up fairly well against slashing attacks, though, because the designs are meant to protect against fragments, which are flying, sharp bits of metal. Hard ballistic plates will defeat any kind of blade attack, however.
And don't forget, when someone does get shot when wearing a vest, has been mistaken for dead, gets emotionalized over and then sits up with a bewildered look on their face, they will always, ALWAYS part their shirt to reveal the vest, usually with bullets showing in it. They will then immediately remove the vest, even if the danger might not be over.
When bullets are stopped by things that cover very little area in addition to being unlikely to be effective if hit, yet do so by sheer force of sentimentality, that's a Pocket Protector. Bulletproof Human Shield is the trope when bullets are stopped by an unwilling Mook or bystander. If a vest is worn by a Badass in a Nice Suit, it will overlap with Waistcoat of Style.
Nowadays, modern vests of various types can double as bulletproof vests by having armor plates inserted into it.

In the beginning of Predator 2, Danny Glover armors his car by hanging kevlar vests over the side windows. During a later Lock-and-Load Montage, he puts a metal plate insert into his vest that saves his life when the Predator shoots his plasma caster at it — in this case the 'tearing off the vest afterwards' is justified as the explosive impact sets the vest on fire.

Early in one episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, one of Steve Austin's friends had developed a vest of new design and asked Austin to give it a try. The new design proved its worth later in the episode when a heavy-machine-gun burst at pointblank range knocked Steve down but didn't penetrate. He made a point of murmuring a "Thanks" directed at the inventor.

In Super Troopers:
One of the troopers insists on testing a bulletproof jockstrap. While wearing it.
O'Hagen shows up and assumes it's a trick being played on the rookie trooper, claims that he invented this gag, and that it involves the gun being loaded with blanks. (The only thing he's puzzled about is why it's Mac who is naked aside from the jockstrap, since in his day they would have forced the rookie to do it as part of rookie hazing.) He then takes the gun they were using and fires it to the side to demonstrate that it's not loaded with real bullets, but winds up shooting out a window of one of the patrol cars and revealing that they really were using live ammo.

During the highway chase scene at the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah, John, and the T-800 commandeer an armored SWAT truck while the T-1000 pursues in a helicopter. Sarah puts John into the back and piles him under a heap of bullet proof vests, then hangs several more from the back door to use as cover while trading fire with the T-1000. It works pretty well. At least until the T-1000 manages to walk his fire into Sarah's exposed leg.

Knife variant: In the second season The Man from U.N.C.L.E. episode "Alexander the Greater Affair, Part II", the titular villain Alexander moves to complete his plot by stabbing the premier of an Asian country at a diplomatic reception, the first step in a coup attempt. The premier, knife sticking in his chest, falls off the dais onto a cart and cake as the U.N.C.L.E. agents rush into the room to apprehend Alexander. It is then that the premier rises from the cart, and reveals that, having been warned of the murder attempt, he was wearing body armor that saved him.

The film Missing in Action features an on-the-run Chuck Norris buying a large raft-like speedboat made from "the same stuff that bulletproof vests are made of" (presumably kevlar). The salesman demonstrates this by getting into his handy-dandy rotating turret machine gun and putting a few hundred rounds into it, not getting a scratch on it. In reality, some boats are made from such material, but are hardly bulletproof. Chuck Norris heroically steals the super-boat by holding up the salesman with his own turret gun and forcing him to accept a nominal sum.

In John Wick: Chapter 2, John has a tailor who specializes in crafting custom suits for assassins and bodyguards. Said tailor introduces him to a new set of cutting edge flexible, cloth-thin body armor that is sewn into the lining of said suits, though it's still "quite painful", as the tailor says. Again, it saves John's ass multiple times, and he's still wearing it come Parabellum. He also learns that only the jacket is armored.

In Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead, there is a fairly realistic portrayal of a bulletproof vest in action. Glenn is shot with a shotgun at fairly close range while wearing a suit of riot gear (including the vest) and while he does survive, he is injured quite badly with broken ribs and possible internal bleeding.

In Door Kickers, body armor has limited coverage direction wise and most bullets are assumed to go into your chest, but the depiction is very realistic, with very effective NIJ Level 4 body armor (essentially) being extremely heavy and cumbersome, making it usually worth more to just not get shot at all, which is typically possible with good planning anyway.

Jagged Alliance:
The games come with a range of body armour, helmets and, in Jagged Alliance 2, armoured trousers, as well as handy chemicals with which to reinforce them. These range from the common or garden flak jacket and steel helmet, which is about as effective as putting on an extra T-shirt, to full-body Spectra, which will let you survive a point-blank burst from an M16 with only multiple flesh wounds (and sudden severe exhaustion on account of having the wind knocked out of you). There's also a kevlar-reinforced leather biker jacket, which is the only body armour upgrade one character will agree to wear.
Jagged Alliance 2 also allows various attachments to armour like knee protectors and armour plate inserts. Full SWAT gear with inserts and no damage gives an insane amount of damage resistance that can make non-armour-piercing rounds do 0 damage if they hit. You don't even want to know how much damage the EOD Suits can resist. Really.

CSI: NY has featured Stella Bonasera's low-cut vest on a number of occasions.
They also had an interesting play with this. In the episode after making shippers' dreams come true by marrying Lindsay, Danny Messer forgets his vest and arrives at a crime scene. Mac and Flack, knowing the suspect is present and has a gun, armor up and go inside, telling Danny to stay by the SUV. There is the sound of gunfire. Danny draws his weapon and goes inside. He exchanges fire with the suspect - and does not get hit. In fact, he mortally wounds the suspect and gets a dying confession. Mac does let him have it later about defying orders though.
The 333 Stalker's brother is given one to wear before confronting him at the end of the arc.
At the beginning of season 7's 'Exit Strategy,' Mac and Danny are shown getting ready to apprehend a suspect. Danny kisses a picture of Lucy before sticking it in his vest pocket while Mac, also wearing a vest, kisses his crucifix before dropping it down his shirt. Half-way thru, the episode has a Call-Back scene.

Chuck: Bryce shoots Chuck, who's wearing a bulletproof vest. It makes sense, since Chuck is an important government resource, but the viewer doesn't know about the vest until afterwards. A semi-subversion, since Chuck complains that it still hurts. Something of an Unspoken Plan Guarantee; Bryce asks Chuck "Are you wearing a vest?" but he says it in Klingon.

Castle:
Richard has one, as do the NYPD cops he hangs out with, but nobody's been shot while wearing one. Not yet anyway.
When Beckett says he doesn't have a vest, Castle breaks his out - and it says "writer" where the cops' say "police." It's actually returned several times!
Castle's vest finally sees use in Season 6. The bullet dots the "I" in "Writer".

Honor Harrington has to wear specially reinforced clothing because her Sphynxian Treecat tends to ride around on her shoulders, using his rather long and sharp claws to maintain his grip. The special fabric, while strong, won't stop a Pulser Dart, the standard ammo used in modern sidearms in that universe (At least, not in anything above the smallest calibers). However, for several of the earlier books, Pulsers are not common weapons on the planet Grayson, and the clothing turns out to be at least moderately bullet resistant when an assassin attempts to kill her—and it helped that the bullets were slowed down by someone else's body before they hit her. She still looks like hell when she makes it to a very important meeting soon after, but that has slightly more to do with her being in an aircar crash before she was shot. In addition, various more robust forms of armor are seen, ranging from the protective skinsuits to Powered Armor, and also including robust, low-tech "clamshell" torso armor.

The Simpsons:
In "The Monkey Suit", Homer is shown being allowed to wear one of these and repeatedly shoot himself for the fun of it at a weapons exhibit at the local museum.
In another episode, Chief Wiggum gets shot while trying to wrestle a gun away from a criminal. He laughs, saying, "That's what bulletproof vests are for!" — and then realizes that he left his vest in the car.

In Metal Gear Solid 2, Raiden's sword easily damages Solidus Snake through his armored suit, although the sword is, itself, made of Phlebotinum. Metal Gear Solid 4 gives Raiden some karmic payback; the non-metal parts of his armor don't stop Vamp's blades. Minutes before is a subversion, if a thin one; Old Snake, unseen by the enemy, takes the time to line up a perfect shot with his M4 on Vamp's un-armored head. His shot hits dead-center in the forehead, but Vamp, effectively immortal, spins around once as a startled reaction to the momentum, lands on one knee, catches his cell phone from falling to finish talking, gives his troops an order, and then informs them he'll be "taking a nap" before falling over dead. He re-animates shortly thereafter.

Nearly all the soldiers, mercenaries, and guards in Cry 'Havoc' wear body armor, most of it military grade plate armor. It also becomes a plot point when Freyja develops a 'formula' for armor that adapts to changes in its wearers physiology (an important issue for werewolves).

The main villain, Wong Hoi from The Killer, wears a vest, after barely surviving an assassination attempt on his life by the titular hero. He even taunts the hero's bestie while beating the man into a pulp, "Why don't you aim for the head?"... taken to ridiculous extremes in the film's iconic ten-minute-long church shootout, the vest absorbs what appears to be twenty gunshot rounds before finally getting penetrated by an exploding bandoleer of shotgun shells.

In F.E.A.R., the player can pick up protective helmets and vests which not only protect him from pistol rounds, but also from rifled rounds, shotgun blasts, explosives and laser guns! However, melee attacks still do a great deal of damage. All of the standard Replica Soldiers and ATC guards wear armor too, ranging from only soft vests to vests backed with ceramic plating to stop rifle rounds.

Gunsmith Cats: Bean Bandit's moose leather jacket is an Nigh-Invulnerable monstrosity filled with ceramic plates and chain mail. It's demonstrated to protect Bean from a barrage of assault rifle fire and multiple shotgun slugs. Downside? Only an utter monster like Bean can wear something so absurdly heavy; when Misty nudges it off a dresser, it breaks her foot. On top of that, Bean wears a headband of the same construction. It deflects a 9mm contact shot.

Counter-Strike: Just like in real life, kevlar armors do little more than increasing your firefight life expectancy from 2 seconds to 3 seconds. Kevlar helmets, meanwhile, are only effective against pistols and maybe against 5.56 mm rifles. See this list for all weapons stats. Basically, every weapon has a pre-assigned damage value for each part with and without armor. Against grenades and most sub-machine guns, shotguns, and pistol it can reduce damage by 40-50%, but only reduces damage from rifles by about 20-30% and does basically nothing against sniper rifles. Armor does however prevent aimpunch (meaning you crosshair isn't randomly thrown off when you get shot) making it a crucial buy.

The primary function of the full-body desert suits most characters in Desert Punk wear are to protect from the weather, but they provide decent protection from bullets and fragmentation as well. One mook's vest let him take about a half dozen rounds from Kosuna's handgun at very close range and Kanta's helmet on two separate occasions protected him from sniper rifle fire. Basically, every part of the suits are stated to be made of some kind of Aramid (a classification of strong, heat-resistance material that Kevlar belongs to), even the hats.

V in V for Vendetta wears a steel breastplate under his clothing when confronting Creedy and his men. He lets them unload their magazines into him and then proceeds to slaughter them all while they're reloading with his knives. However, steel armor has its limits, and that many bullets is enough to make sure V doesn't live long after winning.

NCIS: Los Angeles:
The series is very good about characters wearing their vests, as well as showing the limitations. When Kensi is shot in "Blye, K Part One", she's in a lot of pain and with obvious bruising through the next episode. She also makes reference to the shot being off-center (she was running) or the sniper bullet would have torn through the vest and killed her.
Averted in "Parley." The criminal assisting them is gunned down and shown to be wearing a bulletproof vest. While the vest clearly stopped the bullet, she is still badly injured and unable to get up, requiring the agents to call an ambulance for her.
In "SEAL Hunter", Sam takes a bullet to the vest. Because he's a badass who's Made of Iron, he's able to keep fighting along with the rest of the team, even dealing a Curb-Stomp Battle to a failed marine who spent the episode posing as him.

Bulletproof vest are standard-issue on 1-800-Missing when storming buildings, usually worn underneath the FBI jackets. Notably, after Jess has a vision that showed that either her or Scott would get shot rescuing a hostage, she doubles up on body armour and forces the issue, knowing that she would be shot in the chest. Realistically, she later notes massive bruising on her chest.

Batman Begins establishes that the Batman's suit is a $300k body armor, so it's somewhat justified that it works pretty well. In The Dark Knight, Bruce asks Fox to redesign the suit to be more resistant to dog bites, realistically showing a common weakness in ballistic armor. In The Dark Knight, Gordon takes a bullet for the mayor while wearing a standard kevlar vest and is injured badly enough to convince everyone he's dead. He's away for some time before coming back into action.

Flak vests (and flak helmets, jackets, pants, and suits in the expanded 2nd and 3rd editions) are the most widely available armor in the MechWarrior tabletop role playing game and are actually reasonably useful against most of the common weapons a player character might face, such as slugthrower pistols and melee weapons. Once lasers and other exotic weapons come into play (particularly flamers and heavy needlers, basic flak armor generally falls by the wayside for something sturdier.

The suit Jack wears for most of Oblivion (2013) is a pretty effective Space Clothes kind of armor. We see how effective it is when Sergeant Sykes shoots him in the chest during the interrogation scene. At the least, it can take 9mm rounds with nothing to show for it but one hell of a scare.

In Alpha Protocol, bulletproof vests are generic sources of Hit Points, which also block knives and fists and explosions. You can also convince Ronald Sung to wear a bulletproof vest if you uncover a plan to assassinate him. Doing so will save him from being killed by a sniper with a high-powered rifle, which makes one wonder just how much kevlar was in that vest.

In The Lost Room miniseries, the Coat is not shown to have any special powers. However, since it's an Object and is, therefore, indestructible, it can be used as a bulletproof vest, although it still hurts like hell, and you can probably still die from internal bleeding. After all, it does nothing to spread the impact of the bullet.

The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden has his duster enchanted to be very resilient, to the point where the only thing that has penetrated it after enchantment is a shot from a .50 caliber rifle. In an aversion, the readers found out that his duster was enchanted pretty early in the book. Played straight with Murphy's reaction to the shot, however.
Butters is luckily wearing a conventional vest when he's shot in Changes.
Murphy, a professional Action Girl, never forgets to wear her vest when it's time to do some ass kicking. As Aftermath revealed, working with Dresden has convinced her to also let Charity Carpenter (wife of a modern-day Paladin) reinforce her vest with chainmail to deflect bladed weapons.
In Death Masks, there's some discussion between Ms. Carpenter's husband Michael and fellow Knight of the Cross Sanya, about the latter's use of a Kevlar tactical vest and an AK47, and the former relying on his platemail and sword exclusively. Later on, Michael takes several bullets to the chest and falls out of sight, apparently dead. Later on, he explains that Charity had gone the extra mile on his armor.
In Small Favor, Michael is permanently put out of commission when someone shoots him in the lower back and side from below, and his reinforced Kevlar vest keeps the bullets from simply exiting on the other side, causing what the medical help estimated to be far more damage than if he hadn't been wearing a vest in the first place. When Jim Butcher plays with a trope, he plays hard.
In Skin Game a character Murphy gets shot six times at point-blank range with a small-caliber revolver. After the fight, Butters insists on getting said character to a hospital. Butters points out that in spite of the character's vest catching all six bullets the character could well die from swelling, broken ribs and internal bleeding instead, and, in spite of being a doctor, there is no way he can treat those injuries without access to an X-ray machine and a fully stocked surgical ward.

24:
The sequence where Jack was forced to shoot Nina. She had fortunately been given a bulletproof vest before hand. Tony Almeida's line asking why this had happened (when he saw the giving on CCTV) was one that many a fan would ask when she was revealed to be The Mole. She did receive some bad bruising from being shot, though, giving the writers a reason for her to examine herself and thus a Lingerie Scene. In addition, Jack was shot while wearing a vest in season four, where he and Secretary Of Defense James Heller are trapped behind a vehicle while terrorists are shooting at them. Once hit (in the shoulder), Jack exclaims that he's fine, and then keeps shooting.
In Season 7, Larry Moss takes a shotgun blast to the vest. The impact lays Moss flat on his back and obviously in a great deal of pain, but still alive. Until Tony smothers him, helped by the fact that Moss still can't move.
Subverted in Season 8. Jack is shot by an assault rifle while wearing a bulletproof vest. The impact knocks him down, and temporarily unconscious. Renee Walker and a field medic are both worried that it may have broken a few ribs, or even collapsed a lung. Whether or not it did, Jack insists that he's "fine".

In Big Game, Morris wears a bulletproof vest, although the strongest it's pitted against is an arrow. It bounces off harmlessly, even though the type of vest he's wearing doesn't stop sharp objects in reality. Double-subverted, as the arrow managed to hit a bullet fragment embedded in the bad guy's chest, and the vest doesn't protect from the force of the impact, which is enough to dislodge this bullet splinter into his heart.

In the final scene of A Fistful of Dollars, Joe wears a piece of metal boiler plate under his serape. He goads Ramone to shoot him in the heart, which Ramone does repeatedly to little effect. Ramone is terrified and quickly wastes all his bullets. It's portrayed pretty accurately; boiler plate, being made to handle steam boilers, is strong enough to block a bullet, and Joe does get knocked back from the hits. He just gets back up afterwards. Also, rifle rounds of the period, while still more powerful than pistol rounds, were round-nosed and comparable to modern-day high-power pistol rounds like a .357 magnum, which a sufficiently thick boiler plate could stop.

Final Fantasy XIV:
The level 50 armorer quest has Merlwyb test the efficacy of the Warrior's cobalt haubergeon by shooting at it while one of her own men is wearing it. Luckily for the Maelstrom soldier, it's well-made enough that the bullet pings harmlessly off the chainmail. Unfortunately for the soldier wearing Blanstyr's armor, the bullet goes right through it.
Yotsuyu goe Brutus wears a full kimono, but hides in the clothing a layer of Garlean carbon fiber, incredibly durable fabric. This layer of protection is what saved her life when she was seemingly cut down by Hien's katana.

Subverted in Iron Man: Stark is near an exploding shell and gets knocked to the ground, seemingly dead. Then, in standard trope fashion he tears open his shirt to reveal his vest. And then blood begins oozing from the holes punched in his vest by the high-velocity shrapnel.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory actually plays this quite realistically; if Sam triggers two or more alarms, guards will don body armor and helmets. While the armor is relatively effective against his rifle and renders his pistol practically useless except for headshots below the helmets' brims, his knife goes straight through their armor, and his nonlethal unarmed attacks, which aim for the base of the skull or nose, still knock enemies unconscious.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown makes armour noticeably more useful; with the first armour upgrade equipped, your troops are now almost certain to survive one hit, and later models only get better. XCOM 2 actually had to nerf it a bit by making it more likely that wounded soldiers are out of combat for long periods.

Hannibal, the main villain of Undeclared War, turns out to have a vest with him, which he reveals to the heroes who thought they had killed him with a snarky comment, "Vests. It's like the American Express Card, you never leave home without it." The heroes kill him anyway by shoving a grenade in that vest.

Resident Evil:
Rebecca Chambers wears one which effectively stops a bullet, but is otherwise realistically useless against the monster slashing slaws. The fifth game plays with this by allowing different types of armor for gunshots and knife attacks.
As does Brad Vickers who wears a bright yellow ballistic vest, the type meant to resist debris kicked up by blasts and which fits a metal or ceramic plate over center-of-mass front and back. It makes his zombified self in Resident Evil 2 highly resistant to your guns and notoriously difficult to kill, unless you put two-and-two together and let him bite onto your foot after knocking him down which lets you stomp his unprotected head or find a shotgun in the Police Station and aim for his head at point-blank range. Both of these are a one-hit kill.

PAYDAY 2 has several tiers of body armor, ranging from the classic bulletproof vest to a fully decked-out suit of ceramic-plated armor. Heavier armor offers more protection, while lighter armor lets you move faster and possibly dodge bullets. Like in real life, armor offers little protection from melee attacks and is vulnerable to high-caliber sniper fire; unlike real life, it can repair itself after a few seconds in cover. On the cops' side, Maximum Force Response units have ceramic chestplates that are completely invulnerable to normal gunfire. Their helmets, however, are not so bulletproof.

Mocked on Reno 911!. The ladies are all issued new vests in the form of Kevlar corsets. Pleased with the amount of attention they're getting, they just pin their badge to the vest itself and go out on patrol. They're loving it until, on a drunken dare, Junior shoots at Kimball and it goes right through the vest like butter. Parodied another time where the department is testing new bulletproof vests. Suffice it to say, the shot landed elsewhere.

Imperial Guard flak armour shines through in Only War. In fact, it's even better this time round, because you can acquire it right from the get-go if you choose/create the right regiment for your characters, and upgrading the armour to Good Craftsmanship is relatively inexpensive - even Best Craftmanship is somewhat reasonable. This is countered by the fact that should your regiment not specify full Imperial Flak on creation, then they start with just the vest and helmet, leaving your arms and legs vulnerable.

Running Scared (1986). One of the protagonists is going to retire and, getting nervous, starts wearing a bulletproof vest. There's a stigma against wearing vests in the Force, so he claims that it's because he's got a bad back. His partner snarks him on it, until an accidental discharge causes him to go for a vest, whereupon the issuing sergeant says: "Let me guess, you've got a bad back too." Also when the protagonists are driving a car which has been bulletproofed, the only problem is that they can't wind down the windows to shoot back at the Big Bad who's firing at them.

Walker, Texas Ranger:
Any main character who wears a bulletproof vest will take the shot, recoil, then continue, while any secondary character or redshirt will either have the round penetrate the vest anyway via "cop killer" armor piercing bullets or just get shot in the head instead.
Played straight (and more realistically) in the last episode of the Chairman arc, when Trivette actually goes down from a shot to the chest. After about a minute of appearing to be dead, he manages to recover and get up.

The Rainbow Six franchise plays the bulletproof vest trope fairly realistically, even in the more action oriented games, such as Vegas. Light body armor will not save a player from most types of gunfire, and armor that can reliably stop bullets is bulky and slows the wearer down.

In Grrl Power, Maxima lets Sydney know on no uncertain terms that they have bullet resistant armor, not bullet proof armor. A powerful enough bullet will penetrate her armor, no matter how tough it is. Sydney takes this lesson to heart. She does get a vest that contains non-newtonian fluids that will solidify when under pressure, which saves her life from a piece of shrapnel.

Gloating that he's protected from bullets, the villain grabs a long rebar and tries to impale the hero, but fortunately, Ekin remembers he have a set of armor-piercing rounds he kept from a botched assassination earlier, which is still in his pockets.

Stargate SG-1:
In "Smoke and Mirrors", when Senator Kinsey is shot by a sniper. Anticipating the attack, he was wearing a bulletproof vest that saved his life... though the shot still dropped him like a sack of hammers, and necessitated that he be hospitalized and operated upon.
"Heroes Part 1" had Sgt. Siler demonstrate new body armor made to resist Jaffa weapons (the regular sort don't- in fact making it worse). A test shot blasts him clear off his feet and lightly sets him on fire, but he's able to get back up with help. The new armor saves Col. O'Neill when he's shot later on, but he still gets knocked out, and has to spend quite some time in the infirmary afterward. It also saves Mitchell, when they are ambushed by the Sodan Jaffa.
This becomes a major plot point when Anubis' Kull Warriors are introduced. Their armor disperses energy blasts and is also made of a kevlar-like material to stop ballistics. In order to capture one, the SGC resorts to tranquilizer guns, on the logic that the darts will penetrate between the fibers, and tipped with the strongest metal in the known universe (still doesn't work because of their metabolism).
Another episode plays with it, where toward the end O'Neill, who was clearly wearing a vest, is shot in the arm to prevent him from capturing an escaped Goa'uld. Carter reaches him, and O'Neill groans that next time, he wants sleeves on his bulletproof vest.
Inverted in later seasons. During Earth-based operations, strike teams often wore Kevlar vests over their shirts instead of hiding them. Naturally, they never get shot (with bullets, anyway—and Kevlar is useless against zat'n'ktel).

Archer:
Cyril wears one regularly, so Archer occasionally shoots him to shut him up. At one point, Pam reveals she's wearing one of Cyril's used vests. This confuses Archer since the fibers break upon being used. She admits it hurts a lot.
In a flashback in "Movie Star", Krieger tests armour on a new intern, Chet. It doesn't go so well for Chet.
In "El Secuestro", Cheryl is given a vest to keep her safe from kidnappers. When the kidnappers storm the building Archer reminds her she's wearing it to stop her screaming...only for her to immediately get shot in the bicep as it's still a vest that leaves her arms exposed.

Batman's armour is indeed very powerful (he takes a shot to the head from a sniper in No Man's Land on purpose), but it also has the flexibility of simple cloth fabric.

A realistic portrayal in the otherwise very-non-naturalistic Twin Peaks. Agent Cooper's life is saved by a bulletproof vest when he is shot in the first-season cliffhanger ending, although he is wounded by one of the bullets because he had pulled the vest up to get at a wood-tick. He describes the experience as "the sensation of having three bowling-balls dropped onto your chest from a height of about nine feet.", and suffers broken ribs from the impact.

In Sweet Fuse: At Your Side, Mitarashi uses a serving plate as a bullet proof vest to survive a revolver bullet from close range. Although seemingly unrealistic, this could actually be explained by a scene later in the game where it's implied that the bullets in all the guns are actually rubber bullets.

GoldenEye (1997) and NightFire: You can pick up a bulletproof vest that essentially acts as a second health bar. Headshots still hurt, though. Additionally, Nightfire plays it with surprising realism. It's only durable against handguns and small semi-automatics like the Storm M32. One sniper round or shotgun blast is enough to wipe out half the armor; another shot will erase it completely and take some of your regular health with it. Obviously, you're dead meat against explosives and grenades.

In Lethal Weapon 3, the plot revolves around the sale of "cop killer" bullets that pierce through police armor. In one scene, a character survives by simply wearing two vests on top of each other. This is made more baffling by the fact that earlier in the same scene the bullets are shown shooting through the front plate of a bulldozer. The bullets are also demonstrated by being fired into a vest hung on a stand. The bullet easily passes through both the front and back sides of the hanging vest, thus proving the bullets could easily penetrate a double thickness of vest.

Batman's batsuit in the DC Extended Universe is, like the comics, flexible fabric-like body armor. It works well against gunfire, as in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Batman's cowl even deflects a point-blank gunshot to the back of the his head, although it clearly still hurts. The same fight also show that, like a real bulletproof vest, the batsuit is less resistant to knives, since Batman gets stabbed through it.

In Back to the Future, Doc Brown gets gunned down by some vengeful Libyan terrorists for swindling them of their plutonium at the beginning of the movie. After Marty time travels back to the 1955, he keeps trying to warn him, but Doc refuses, citing the integrity of the space-time continuum. Marty travels back to the present (1985)... just in time to see Doc get shot again. Marty runs over, mourning him... but, of course, Doc finally took the warning, and was wearing a bulletproof vest, which he probably modified to stop rifle fire (this type of vest won't do so in real life).

Shooter. FBI agent Nick Memphis is shot by a sniper, then (after Bob Lee counter-snipes the shooter) gets up and removes a steel trauma plate from under his overcoat, saying "I think I broke a rib." Snipers aim for center of mass, especially at such ranges, so Memphis must have relied on the professional sniper being able to hit him accurately.

In the anime of Golgo 13, a Mafia boss thinks he's protected from the master assassin by his bulletproof glass, which he even tests by firing at it with a pistol. Duke empties his M-16 rifle into the glass, cracking it so the final bullet can pass through the hole unimpeded and kill his target. This scene is basically a rehash of one from The Professional, Golgo 13's first appearance in anime. In The Professional, Golgo 13 also shot clean through the windows of another building that was between him and his target (he couldn't shoot directly from that building because the feds were staking it out).

A fantasy version appears in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, in the Mines of Moria. Frodo appears to be fatally stabbed by a cave troll, but soon after reveals that he's wearing an impenetrable shirt of mithril beneath his coat. This also happens in the book, though he is stabbed by an orc and suffers a greater injury from the impact: the mithril coat prevents him from being stabbed, sure, but the sheer force from the spear thrust still knocks him out, drives the rings of the mail coat into his body and badly bruises him. Frodo needed medical attention from Aragorn soon afterward or he would not have been able to keep up with the company in their journey.

John Wick:
John wears a bulletproof vest beneath his nice suit in the first movie, and while it stops penetration, the force of the impact still gets through; Kiril knocks John down by shooting him twice in the chest. It's also not knife-proof. In spite of these limits, it saves his life several times.
In John Wick: Chapter 2, John has a tailor who specializes in crafting custom suits for assassins and bodyguards. Said tailor introduces him to a new set of cutting edge flexible, cloth-thin body armor that is sewn into the lining of said suits, though it's still "quite painful", as the tailor says. Again, it saves John's ass multiple times, and he's still wearing it come Parabellum. He also learns that only the jacket is armored.

NCIS:
Toyed with in the season 2 finale when Kate takes a bullet for Gibbs, protected by her bulletproof vest. The characters spend some time joking about it, until Kate is shot in the head.
In "Devil's Trifecta", an assassin shoots Fornell in the chest while he's at a fast-food drive-thru. Fortunately, Fornell was wearing a bulletproof vest because he was at an FBI take-down earlier and was too tired to take it off; not only does it save Fornell's life, but it gives him the chance to grab his gun and shoot back.
In "Bulletproof", the team investigates a number of defective vests that were worn by soldiers who died or were crippled in combat because of the faulty vests’ ceramic plates shattering into shards and digging into the body upon bullet impact, making their wounds worse. The vests were from a batch that should have been destroyed, but were sold on the grey market as surplus body armor instead. When confronted, the person responsible dons body armor and opens fire on Team Gibbs. Bishop is shot but survives with only bruised ribs because she was wearing a working bulletproof vest. The perp is also shot in the vest, but because she was wearing one of the defective vests - which were worse than useless - she bleeds out.

In Back to the Future Part II, Biff Tannen watches a movie set in the Wild West where a man survives gun shots thanks to this, as foreshadowing for the next sequel; In Back to the Future Part III, Marty hides a stove door under his shirt just in case, and being Genre Savvy, acts out a scene from A Fistful of Dollars with Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen.

In the RPG Dark Heresy, guardsman flak is actually one of the best armours that can be obtained regularly. Mesh armour is a little worse, but weighs around 2kg for a full-body suit (and is ridiculously hard to get without the right connections), carapace armour is heavier and a little stronger (and about equally hard to get) and Powered Armour finally means nothing short of anti-vehicle/anti-materiel even can touch you - if you can get your hands on a set and are not too distraught about the civilian capacitors only lasting for between one and five hours of operation... Still, against normal weapons (autoguns and lasguns), flak armour works pretty well.

Xenonauts, a Spiritual Successor to the original XCOM games, also starts off with effectively no armour. Justified by the fact that the aliens are using plasma weapons as standard, against which most conventional body armour is nigh-useless.

In "Kickback", CI5 have to fake the assassination of a British government official. He's shown putting on the vest and being surprised that it's not as heavy as he expected, but when he's struck by a couple of rifle bullets he convulses in agony, which only helps maintain the illusion.
In "Stopover" it's George Cowley wearing a vest to fake his death. Bodie and Doyle (who weren't in on his plan) are furious at the risk he took.

Daredevil (2015). In Season One, Matt Murdock doesn't want to wear body armor because it will slow him down during a fight, causing him to get patched up a lot. On confronting Wilson Fisk however, he notes the man has a lightweight and flexible body armor incorporated into his suit. He tracks down the man who makes it and has him create his iconic outfit which he wears on confronting Fisk again in the season finale. He's warned that it doesn't offer complete protection; only the black portions of the suit are bullet resistant, and the red portions (most of the suit) will only stop a knife coming in at certain angles.

The cops at the beginning of The One wear body armor that appears to be impenetrable to small arms. The first slo-mo scene shows Jet Li's character picking up a cop and using him as a Bulletproof Human Shield against the other cops firing rifles at full auto with all bullets bouncing off his back armor. The cop is shown to be hurt (with all the impacts still doing plenty of internal damage) but alive. Their helmet visors, though, aren't that strong. This is quite obviously not our universe, though (the guns have more electronics in them and Gore is the president).

Futurama:
In Bender's Big Score, the lead nudist scammer wears a platinum doom-proof vest. So that's what the purple thing he was wearing was. Afterwards he regrets he hadn't been wearing doom-proof pants too.
Futurama also has an odd moment when Fry becomes a cop and tries to foil Bender stealing the Maltese Liquor. The robot that predicted the robbery notes that it was a trap - then Bender gets shot by Fry accidentally when his shot ricochets off the safe, and the predictor robot shoots Fry. However, it's really a sting to catch the predictor robot, since Fry reveals he's wearing a bulletproof vest, and Bender - opens his door to show his bulletproof vest with a bullet lodged in it on a clothes hanger.

In Assassins a bulletproof glass divider in a taxi cab provides a realistic Gunpoint Banter moment, though at one point the villain tries a shot anyway just in case the glass isn't as tough as it was advertised. Also a person Rath was shown sniping in the opening scene turns out to have faked his death. The man knew where Rath would be shooting from and with what weapon, so he wore a vest capable of stopping the bullet.

Body armor in Girls' Frontline can only be equipped by shotguns (and M16A1). They increase the armor stat at the cost of evasion, which isn't important for shotguns anyway. Since armor directly subtracts the damage taken, a shotgun equipped with decent body armor can essentially shrug off anything smaller than Jaeger fire, making them excellent against general enemy formations.

Encyclopedia Brown: Variant in book 2's last chapter, "The Case of the Stomach Puncher". Encyclopedia and his client Herb Stein go up against a bully, sixteen-year-old Biff Logan, who stole Herb's bicycle and threatens to punch anyone in the stomach if he doesn't like them (and has carried it out a few times); Encyclopedia prepares for this encounter by donning a piece of sheet metal and covering it with his clothes. It nearly doesn't work because Biff's switched to punching in the eye after the last kid he hit couldn't eat for a week and almost starved, but Encyclopedia dupes him into aiming for the stomach instead, since that way it won't leave evidence. Biff falls for it and badly hurts his hand as a result.

In the beginning of Alien Nation, Sykes and his partner interrupt an armed robbery. One crook starts shooting a shotgun at the partner, who's not only wearing a bulletproof vest but is also crouched behind a car. With all that protection he should be safe, right? The shotgun's shots go right through the car and the guy's vest, killing him. Sykes later finds out the shotgun was firing special armor piercing slugs. Later, Sykes gets a .454 Casul Hand Cannon and puts a kevlar vest over his shooting range target, blowing holes straight through it.

Batwoman (2019). The Batsuit is this to an insane degree. Described by Luke Fox as multi-million dollar "military-grade kevlar woven with enriched carbon nanotubes of [his] dad's own design," it can stop a test-fired .50 caliber round from a Desert Eagle without a scratch, making the wearer effectively immune to handguns. Kate Kane does mention that getting shot still stings, though. Its toughness is such that Bruce Wayne designed a handheld railgun so he'd have a weapon capable of piercing the armor if it was stolen.

Syphon Filter plays this fairly realistically.
The player always comes equipped with a flak jacket which will completely protect you from bullets until destroyed, with headshots being the only exception. Armored enemies, on the other hand, can be damaged by shots to the extremities, and can be taken down with headshots. This is usually how you want to kill them, since you can take their flak jackets to restore your armor.
The final boss of the second game is equipped with Nigh-Invulnerable full body armor that is apparently impervious to even grenade blasts and doesn't seem to slow him down (impossible).

In Super, the Crimson Bolt and Boltie wear bulletproof vests before going to the final battle, but Surprisingly Realistic Outcome happens. Boltie's vest is too large and heavy for her small body, slowing her down. When Crimson Bolt gets shot in the chest, the force of the bullet knocks him down and knocks the wind out of him for several minutes. Afterwards, the bad guys aim for his unprotected areas like his arms. The bad guys shoot Boltie in the head at the first opportunity, killing her instantly.

Flak jackets in Warhammer 40,000 are standard equipment for basic Imperial Guard units. They're nicknamed "T-shirts" because they're so flimsy in comparison to the much heavier armors available in the game.
In the RPG Dark Heresy, guardsman flak is actually one of the best armours that can be obtained regularly. Mesh armour is a little worse, but weighs around 2kg for a full-body suit (and is ridiculously hard to get without the right connections), carapace armour is heavier and a little stronger (and about equally hard to get) and Powered Armour finally means nothing short of anti-vehicle/anti-materiel even can touch you - if you can get your hands on a set and are not too distraught about the civilian capacitors only lasting for between one and five hours of operation... Still, against normal weapons (autoguns and lasguns), flak armour works pretty well.
Imperial Guard flak armour shines through in Only War. In fact, it's even better this time round, because you can acquire it right from the get-go if you choose/create the right regiment for your characters, and upgrading the armour to Good Craftsmanship is relatively inexpensive - even Best Craftmanship is somewhat reasonable. This is countered by the fact that should your regiment not specify full Imperial Flak on creation, then they start with just the vest and helmet, leaving your arms and legs vulnerable.
Flak Armor has been stated to be impervious to bullets from stubbers, resistant to autogun fire, and might save you from a lasblast, if it's a glancing hit. Considering that Imperial Autoguns fire 8.25x56mm note  this is estimated from the 820 meters per second muzzle velocity and 8.25mm caliber bullets with muzzle velocity slightly lower than the average 7.62x51, it's actually arguably better than modern armor. Of course, there's also the theory of the entire uniform being to that standard of stubber immunity, which would mean that the entire uniform is made up of ballistic textiles capable of shrugging off bullets from modern rifles, and that the hard portions are quite possibly able to take a hit from a HMG at some angles. Something to think about.

Body armor in Shadowrun just gives you a better chance of shrugging off injury, rather than actually preventing damage per se. Unless one has a ridiculously high Body attribute (easily gained by, say, being a Troll), just one layer of ballistic armor won't cut it against anything above light pistol fire. But that's civilian- and security-grade armour. Military-grade armor makes one totally immune to anything of too low a penetrating power, but still does not save one against being shot with an Assault Cannon set to full-auto.

The District: Sgt Brander wears one when he's shot by a panicked driver during a routine traffic stop, due to a rapist disguising himself as a Metro PD officer to get close to his victims. Unlike many shows, though, they skip the part about ripping open the outer shirt to reveal the vest, which is only mentioned after the fact in a "he would've been dead if..." comment.

Kid Colt: Iron Mask, Kid Colt's Arch-Enemy, was a blacksmith who constructed a suit of bulletproof armour for his career of crime. Initially consisting of just a helmet and chest piece, he kept adding to it following his encounters with Colt until it was a full suit.

In the Richie Rich movie, one of Professor Keenbean's inventions is a spray that makes clothes bulletproof (plus stain-proof and waterproof). Which comes in handy for Richie when the Big Bad tries to shoot him near the end of the film (which naturally freaks his parents out — Richie simply tanks it and quips with an impressed "Cool!").

Played fairly realistically in Crysis. All of the American soldiers and about half of the North Korean soldiers wear kevlar vests, helmets, and ceramic plating on their torsos. Rather than simply giving them more health, as in most other FPS games, Crysis actually models subsystem damage as well as velocity loss over range for the sake of verisimilitude. For reference, the basic rifle-caliber firearms (FY-71, SCAR, Hurricane, Shi Ten) deal 90 to 120 damage, and lose 0.1 points of damage for every 1 meter past 50 meters (meaning that at, say, 300 meters, they lose 25 damage per shot). By default, shots to the head deal 5000% damage (i.e. instant kill), torso shots 120%, leg/arm shots 65%, and feet/hand shots 30%. Body armor reduces the torso damage multiplier from 120% to 75%, meaning that North Korean soldiers (who have from 180 to 250 health points) go from taking one or two assault rifle bullets to the torso kill to taking two to six, depending on the soldier, caliber, and distance. However, body armor obviously does not affect the multipliers to the legs, head, and hands, as those parts of the body remain exposed (except for the helmet which is only designed to stop shrapnel and pistol rounds and would be useless against a rifle anyway).

Person of Interest:
Depicted very realistically. Both the good guys and the bad guys survive getting shot in the vest but it knocks them out of the fight and leaves them seriously bruised afterwards.
When Reese goes undercover as an armored truck guard, he is shot in the back. While he survives due to his vest, he loses consciousness and wakes up in the hospital. The other guard also survived getting shot in the vest but while he was lying stunned and defenseless on the ground, the bad buy finished him off.
When Reese is fighting a sniper, he grabs the guy's sniper rifle and shoots him from close range. He is astounded when the sniper's vest absorbs the shot. The sniper's boss is Crazy-Prepared and made the guy wear a top-of-the-line vest that can stand up to a rifle bullet. However, the sniper is still completely knocked out by the force of the bullet and is likely to have internal injuries.
The identity-stealing Serial Killer in 'Proteus' mentions wearing body armour at one point. After Joss Carter saves Harold Finch by shooting the killer, Finch mentions how good the man was at impersonating an FBI agent and realises that included the armour. Cue the man getting to his feet, immediately followed by Beecher shooting him in the head.

Escape from Tarkov's armour is in a strange place due to using a mix of realism and balance. Since it has no distinction between hard plate and soft armour zones, GOST 6A body armour somehow encases the limbs as well, when the plate is merely a thorax protective.

The Wire has a tendency of making bulletproof vests useless. In season 1 it's noted that while a bulletproof vest was found on one of Omar's men, it didn't do him much good against the 46 spent shell casings found around him. In season 4, The Dragon for Marlo teaches his soldiers to aim for the head if close enough, or to shoot low enough to get under where a vest would protect. And ultimate badass Omar, who seemingly never leaves home without his vest on, gets killed by a kid that shoots him in the back of the head while buying a pack of cigarettes.

Subverted for the most part in Survival of the Fittest; while bulletproof vests appear rather often they tend to be treated very realistically, and indeed, in many instances have been no use at all - the foe of the vest's owner just aims for the head for the most part or the vest just has no effect. However, this is also played straight in the case of Shannon McLocke, who takes a close range shotgun blast to the chest and gets up with barely a scratch. Bobby Jacks also takes a carbine round to the chest and gets up relatively unharmed a minute or two later in v3, but the carbine used weak enough ammunition for this to be justified.

In Lucky Number Slevin, Lindsey appears to have been shot and killed by Goodkat, but it turns out she knew he was coming for her, and was wearing a bulletproof vest and a couple of blood packs for protection. Justified, in that Goodkat thought she would be unprotected and was using relatively small caliber ammunition, and in that Lindsey was very, very sore afterwards.

Most modern incarnations of the character have him wear batsuits that are essentially advanced suits of lightweight armor that also allow him to be as nimble as he ever is. Furthermore, in the classic comic, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, the yellow ellipse bat chest symbol is explained as a psychological lure for criminals to shoot at his heavy chest armor and away from his head. Why he tends to wear a similarly bright yellow belt has never been explained.

SWAT 4 has you and your team wear light Kevlar vests and helmets by default. You can take heavy armor in multiplayer, and the expansion pack allows you use no armor if you so please. AI-controlled suspects also get armor in some missions, again just kevlar vests; the bulk of them just go around in their clothes though. Due to the game being big on realism, the vests (not being hard rifle-proof plates) can stop only a few pistol rounds and are as useful as paper against rifles. Notably, the game also lets you pick whether to use FMJ or JHP rounds, with the former being more effective against suspects in bulletproof vests, but slightly less effective at inflicting wounds and prone to overpenetrating walls, which could potentially lead to civilians getting hit accidentally.

Flashpoint:
Jules gets shot by a sniper and the bullet penetrates her vest, and she nearly dies. The team then uses heavy ballistic shields to cover them while they get her to safety, which do stop the sniper's fire (it had actually been stated earlier in the episode that "shields are safe, but that [ammunition] will crack body armor). Averted again in the Season 3 finale, when Ed is shot several times while wearing a vest and has to be hospitalized.
Played straight in the same show, in the episode First in Line, Wordy is shot by the subject, and the bullet does little more than make him sit out the rest of the episode. Wordy is hit again in season 2, and is in considerable pain but still participates in the take-down of the subject at the end of the episode. Also seen in the ridiculously fast recovery of Roy Lane after being hit in the vest in "The Other Lane."
Subverted in the series finale when Parker gets shot in the vest by a Mad Bomber which briefly stuns him but he then gets up and continues to disarm the bomb. However, the next shot hits him in the leg and is followed by a shot that hits just under the armpit in an area not protected by the vest. He survives but it is a Career-Ending Injury

In the XCOM games unarmoured soldiers will die with disgusting ease.
Personal Armour and even Power Armour is available but by the time it's in use, most aliens are packing weapons which will still inflict lethal damage no matter how heavy the armour, and mobile nightmare objects the Chryssalids ignore armour anyway. Primarily because the RNG is horrible/evil, and your soldiers can take up to 200% of the listed damage shown in the UFOpaedia. On the other hand, they can also take 0% of the listed damage, depending on what the RNG rolls. So your troopers can literally survive a point blank headshot without taking a single point of damage. Sometimes, the RNG only ever rolls 200s or 0s. This can lead to interesting situations where a soldier survives half a dozen heavy plasma shots only to get pinged to death by a plasma pistol shot the next turn.
Apocalypse, the third game in the series, breaks from the mold of the previous two by giving your characters armor at the beginning of the game, rather than forcing you to send your troops into battle wearing cloth jumpsuits. However, the armor still isn't very effective: the aliens will start the game firing Brainsuckers at your troops, which are completely unfazed by armor, and spitting acid, which the armor isn't effective against. In addition, the armor either slows soldiers down (standard Marsec armor), or is prohibitively expensive while being barely more protective (flying armor).
XCOM: Enemy Unknown makes armour noticeably more useful; with the first armour upgrade equipped, your troops are now almost certain to survive one hit, and later models only get better. XCOM 2 actually had to nerf it a bit by making it more likely that wounded soldiers are out of combat for long periods.

The second edition of the role-playing game Recon had a somewhat confusing discussion of body armor. In a description of a soldier getting ready for a mission, he chooses not to take body armor, it being "useless dead weight". However, he does volunteer to carry the squad's machinegun ammo belts, because they provide good protection from bullets. (The rules didn't actually rate ammo belts as protection.)

Fortunately, he was wearing a Bulletproof Vest and survived little less for wear (it's implied that Hoji warned Swan about Gigantes and she alerted Doggie just in time), though considering how he's shown to be Made of Iron in later episodes, one wonders if he really needed it...

Firefly: During a gunfight in the pilot the second in command goes down hard from what looks to be a shotgun blast and is out for awhile, but later comes to and manages to shoot a fleeing villain. As she's getting up she grunts "Armor's dented" but shows no ill effects and is able to ride a horse back to their ship just fine. The movie plays with this later on: When Mal confronts the Operative, the Operative tells him that he's unarmed. Mal shoots him, turns around to leave, and is jumped from behind. The Operative is of course wearing full body armor; he is not a moron.

Tiger on Beat has the two protagonists, Francis and Michael, on their way to rescue Francis' sister (also Michael's Love Interest). They unfortunately gets ambushed and shot, but their mini-vests saves them allowing them to play dead and ambush their captors back. The vest proves useful later on in the ensuing climax - Francis took down the main villain in a Single-Stroke Battle involving bayonets and would've died, but his vest saves him from a slash through the chest whilst he cut the villain's throat. Michael's vest on the other hand saves him from being gored by a chainsaw.

In The Devil's Rejects opening shootout scene, Sheriff Wydell takes either a shot from a rifle, shotgun, or revolver to his vest outside his uniform. It merely knocks him back slightly. He looks pissed, shakes it off and keeps up with his assault. Some of the Fireflys themselves wear homemade full body armor out of sheets of metal, complete with helmet. This might be based on the historical Kelly Gang's homemade armor.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Sherlock's typical badass takedown of a Cossack assassin is interrupted by a Simza throwing several knives into the Cossack's chest. Cue Eye Awaken as it's revealed the assassin has wooden boards sewn into his coat as protection. In retrospect, it's probably a good thing she did so, as Sherlock apparently didn't know about the armor and would've hurt his hand if he struck the assassin in the chest.

One character in Battle Royale gets one of these instead of a weapon, and survives pretty well through Faking the Dead and the use of a belt as an improvised weapon. Then the main villain turns his head into "a bowl of sauce" with a machine gun and takes the vest for himself.

In one episode of The Mentalist, Van Pelt is shot in the vest during a canvas. The vest does its job in preventing life-threatning injuries, but she still sustains some injuries from the impact force. (Rigsby, who had declined to wear a vest because he didn't want to look weak, is understandably shaken up, as he realizes he would have been killed if he'd been the one who happened to knock on that door.)

DFZ:
Opal's mother bought her an enchanted poncho that can protect her from basically anything. Opal uses it when Cleaning to protect from diseases, minor magic, and small animals, but it can also survive a bullet. One bullet, and then it needs to be recharged.
Nik's coat is a more traditional bulletproof vest. Funnily enough, he rarely needs it, as he himself is bulletproof.

In Breaking Bad two assassins chose to test out a bullet proof vest by shooting the Arms Dealer who's trying to sell it. After seeing that he's still alive, (albeit hurt and complaining about broken ribs) they decide to purchase two, tossing the money down on the moaning arms dealer's chest. Later, one of them is shot several times in the vest from just a few feet away and No Sells it, presumably because he's such a badass that he just doesn't get broken ribs and bruising like the dealer did.

MacGyver (1985): In "The Coltons" we learn that both Frank and Jesse wear these: a fact that saves their lives. The usual reveal is subverted in "For Love or Money": after surviving a shot to the chest, Anton Dubcek merely mentions the vest, without ripping his shirt open to prove it.

Notably averted in Black Hawk Down, when the US soldiers remove the reinforced steel plate from their kevlar body armor before the mission to lighten their load. Because past experience had led them to assume that they would not be fired upon, the soldiers chose to sacrifice protection for maneuverability. Ultimately they find themselves in a heavy fire-fight and suffer casualties that might have been prevented by the steel plating. Ultimately the real event helped create a restructuring of military policy that prohibits soldiers in combat zones from leaving behind their assigned equipment, though some still do.

RimWorld has various pieces of Boring, but Practical flak armor that are a lot easier to outfit colonists with than the game's Powered Armor. Flak vests obviously don't protect the wearer's neck or arms from Subsystem Damage, but can be worn under outerwear like parkas or dusters that help a colonist survive in hostile temperatures. Flak jackets protect a wearer's entire upper torso, and can even be worn over a flak vest for extra protection, but will slow a wearer down. At any rate, while quality armor may prevent an attack from penetrating and causing a bleeding injury, the wearer will still suffer bruises and cracked bones from the impacts, and too many blunted attacks will still deplete a character's health bar and eventually disable them from overwhelming pain.

In Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code, Butler is shot point-blank while wearing a Kevlar vest. He dies. But he gets better. Justified, since as Artemis' bodyguard he has to be constantly prepared for danger. Also, the "I" printed on the inside (As in FBI) imprints on his chest.

In Hc Svnt Dracones a bulletproof vest has hit points equal to a physically weak character, but covers very little and is easily bypassed by aiming single shots. However, there are also far heavier armors.

In the Alex Rider book Snakehead:
Ash reveals that his entire team was wearing bulletproof vests, and the mission completely went wrong because when Yassen shot him in the chest, he got back up. Yassen, being smarter than the average bear, then proceeds to shoot the rest of the team in the head. And then Ash screwed up the mission even more.
Alex himself is equipped with two variants in different books: a bulletproof ski suit in Point Blanc, and a bulletproof cycle jersey (as part of a bike with about a dozen different gadgets hidden in it) in Eagle Strike.
