The vest, no. It may have a trauma plate insert; however, that is designed to do just that, and normally, they work once or twice before losing a lot of structural integrity.
Dragon Skin Armor was designed to overcome this by incorporating a bunch of smaller, overlapping plates, but as I understand it, results have been somewhat mixed.
