The problems I recall being discussed weren't about whether a new properly maintained suit would stop bullets, they had to do with wear and tear (apparently scales could come loose or separate) and usability issues (flexible armor is not always what you want. It means the weight is mostly supported by the shoulders instead of some being held up by the hips, and it sticks closely to the body, not allowing air flow).
