Hey ya'll,

does Super Flak Jacket mean "invincible" or just more hits before dying?

I'm having a hard time with the campaign so I gave this a shot but I'm still getting killed w/small arms fire

It means that shots to the head are still fatal, and explosions most likely will kill you. It has to do with the hit point system. That system is built on a 3 point system. An arm/leg shot or chest shot usually will register as 1 or 2 points lost, the trainer, if i am not mistaken, will reset those hit points, if it registers as a 1 or 2. However a head shot, or explosion automatically removes 3 hp and an auto death. Now this explanation is not exact, but it is easiest way to understand.

Yep. That's why if you're in a vehicle that gets blown up, you die!
