Or are you talking about standing up to repeated gun fire?
I'm not sure that's all that true, considering that modern military rifles tend to be smaller caliber and weaker than more historical world war 2 rifles (cause those heavy rounds have to much recoil to be fired on automatic).

Probably anything but a stray shot.
On that matter the issue with body armor is that it can limit movement and for a marine fighting in urban warfare that can be a liability.
You have to balance between armor and mobility.
Unless of course you develop energy shields.
