I would say "no", simply because Kevlar will stop pistol rounds, but
shotgun and rifle rounds can punch through. Granted, Throckmorton
doesn't really care what happens to the Black Hats, but it would get
difficult to send them out to map pockets of resistance or gather
tribute from villages if everyone knew where to aim to hit the plastic
explosive. Which would make a big squishy hole in the Black Hats chests.
