Well, the source look very much legit, so kudos there, didn't know that before. That said, I would absolutely love to find out how they found that out, or to see some testing, or ,at least, to  figure out what do they mean under " old-fashioned rifles ". Honestly, doubt any of us have answers to those questions though.

All that said, I don't think it was leather that stopped bullets however. Leather was well known in europe and still used (in limited amounts) as armor when first firearms showed up. If it was that good, it's effectiveness would have been noticed.
