Nope, two is the minimum TNo for any SR test, if you have
huge layers of armour, that mean the bullet can;t get through,
the energy of the bullet is still applied to your body - blunt
trauma.

there was a story on Rec.guns where a night wathcman was hit with
a .45 round, he had a vest on, but the plates underneath weren't
in, or weren't fitted right, the round pass most of the way through
his body, dragging the vest in after it, leaving a cone-shaped wound
that killed him. Nasty.

That's an extreme case of blunt-trauma (in that the round didn't
touch flesh, normally you get bruising, internal bleeding, crushed
orgrans and broken bones, etc. depending on the severity.

N-E-Way, No, no modification to TNo or Wound level for -ve power.
