A buddy of mine has that works for the police department has a military grade that he uses it's a bit heavier than your usual you see cops with. His can stop "Cop Killer" Bullets designed to pierce the average vest.
Military grade vests are reinforced with ceramic plates capable of stopping buckshot. They weigh about 6 pounds a piece. It's pretty much common sense to know that different variants of material will handle different projectiles, but in general an arrow is capable of piercing one. I mostly read about it piercing Kevlar. The heavier material can easily stop it, but the whole point is that the type of projectile used is different.
It's the same concept as chain mail being designed to stop cutting blows, but it was completely ineffective against piercing weapons.

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.
