Kevlar helmets can stop shrapnel, short arms (9MM) and can be penetrated, but not entirely by 5.56mm M16 rounds. 7.62, those used in AK-47's, at a range less than 125 meters, will rip right through it.

And yes, Kevlar does reflect light. It's a shiny glossed material, which is why we camoflague ours.
