Re the towels vs bullets thing
If you scale up the bullets, you need to scale up the towel. Not by making it thicker or heavier - the inertia of that would be too great to allow it to slow the bullets much - but by using multiple layers so that each towel slows the bullet a bit.
If the bad guy's using 20" shells, then you're still stuffed.
