They probably just had a more powerful gun it protects against a certain damage not a certain # of hits so to speak... Like if someone shot you with a damage 2 gun with one steel plate it would probably take about as many shots to penetrate it as about 1 heart...so youd loose that shield... But also you can get shot by a 5 damage gun... It would deplete your armor and health at the normal rate but u technically have one extra heart... They're pretty much just extra hearts accept the class varies depending on the grade of the armor and the damage of the weapon...
