Not as much as you'd think, no. They aren't terrible effictive on ballistic plates, glass, or metal, but most else will either be caved in or pierced, stuff like bone, kevlar, wood, and dense organic tissue is pretty easily damaged by them. It's only HEAVY armor they have trouble with, light armor is either going to stop some of it, but be severely damaged and give out eventually, or provide minimal protection. Jacketed hollow points and polymer tip hollow points are designed to counter some of this, and properly designed ones like the Remington black talon can bypass things like glass with greater ease.
