I had to look bullpup up. Turns out there is a Wikipedia article:

I really have to wonder if Chinese winter clothing really can stop a M1
bullet, except perhaps at extreme range, where the bullet's kinetic
energy is already mostly gone.

1950 Chinese winter clothings, base on what I've seen in contemporary
rural China, was probably really, really thick due to use of
rudimentary materials and crude construction. Their toddlers are
usually rosy-cheeked from being overheated.
