They shot various flak jackets and showed that Vietnam-era flak jackets do not stop AK-47 rounds.

Isn't that the point of the article?

flak jackets are not designed to stop rounds (yep, point of the article) only secondary fragmentation; rock, dirt and even some shrapnel.

i would imagine bullet proof jackets would be incredibly expensive. also, like Jim Carey said in dumb and dumber; "What if he shot you in the face?"
