One should also note that the ARM capper quest has materia-reinforced Cobalt armor (not Darksteel or anything stronger) holding up against Merlwyb's guns. And even the non-reinforced mail held up for a bit before the guy collapsed.
So, one can assume that anything cobalt or stronger can likely work to deflect bullets. And, if not, melding materia into it obviously can, so melding to higher quality material should also work. It likely won't help the light armor wearers, but I would figure if those in heavy armor are wearing melded-Cobalt or better... they should be fine to deal with basic firearms.
