So I ignore this one because I beelive the underlying principle is wrong. I wouldn't rate bare human skin above 0.2 DR. DR 1 is decent shoe leather and DR 2 is something you make heavy boots with.
Keep in mind you're not just attacking a sheet of skin with nothing behind it. It makes sense that muscles and other tissues provide a tiny bit of resistance, at least versus something that's bad at penetrating in general.

I can see cases either way for the DR 1 vs. fractional armor divisors, but I don't think there's necessarily a logical error here.
