I thought the same.
When invoking momentum vs kinetic energy, keep in mind that the momentum rule only applies to non deformable solids. The firing gun and the fired bullet are essentially non deformable, and the gases have negligible mass, so the momentum rule applies to compute recoil.
When hitting the target, a lot of deformation occurs, and the kinetic energy is mostly converted into havoc and heat, so it's perfectly plausible that a well designed armor plate converts much of the kinetic energy into deformation of these fancy ceramics, leaving very little momentum (provided enough damping layers) to harm the wearer.

Highflyer40,
You made reference to our cousins over the border having a longer a longer sniper shot.
Appreciate hearing about tbis I.m interested
1.Type of sniper rifle used.and make.
2. Calibre.
3 When this took place and where
4. How many enemy did he obliterate.
5. If there were no kills involved who cares without kills involved its a waste of time.
6. The Snper involved in what I referred to hiw far do you rekon the bullett would have traavelled if it had not had to blow these 2 insurgents apart.
You will notice I did not use all caps just to keep you HAPPY.
