probably not a "flak jacket" exactly strictly speaking ?[]
"It is not designed to protect against bullets fired from small-arms such as rifles or handguns." (from the Wikipedia article on Flak jacket. Yes, the next line notes
"However, certain flak jackets are able to sustain certain gunshots, dependent on the armor, the gun, and the distance that the bullet has travelled.
The term "flak jacket" is often colloquially applied to newer body armor featuring protection against small arms projectiles, but the original usage predated the existence of functional bulletproof vests and the two are not interchangeable in performance."
