Default [Pyramid 3/52] LT Armor Design: Mail vs Pi (Guns)

The Mail construction gives -2 or -20%, whichever is worse, to DR vs Crushing but it provides full protection against Piercing.
In a fantasy setting it would be possible to make an orichalcum mail with DR 18, enough to be considered proofed against modern (non-AP) rifles. It's fantasy, so a lot of logic is out of the windows, but is it intended? Would such an armor be like the mithril shirt from LotR, with each ring so small it looks like a fabric and has no apparent holes for a bullet to pass through?
