Even if it does work, it'll only give you stun damage, which is just as bad, if not worse, than actual physical damage. Would a houserule saying that it does 1/2 stun damage if it stops the bullet work well?

Some amazing stories in the KSC. For example, several instances of assault and hunting rifle shots being stopped by flexible body armor. Among these I found the first one which might suggest a broken bone or other serious internal injury -- a close range .308 rifle shot to the lower back of an officer wearing only flexible blody armor which resulted in him being "hospitalized for a significant backface signature injury".
