Now onto the bulletproof material THIS was made by accident and applied to the inside of a bulletproof kevlar vest and was (with the added help of the kevlar) able to stop an m16 round dead in its tracks.
Basic US Army issue Interceptor body armor, with no plates, has a v50 of 1536fps. (That means that for a bullet to have 50% chance of penetration, it must be traveling at least 1536fps). What that means, is that the armor would have a good chance of stopping a .223 (m16 cartridge) at 350+ yards, and a good chance of stopping a 7.62x39 at roughly 300 yards. The basic vest will also stop almost any handgun at point blank, with the exceptions being .44 mag FMJ, .357 sig AP, 5.7fn AP, .454 casull, .500 smith, .460 smith and .50 AE. (Note AP pistol rounds are illegal under the 'cop killer' bullet ban)
Now, if you add the trauma plates(Level III-A SAPI), which the basic vest has a carrier for, it is rated to stop 3 bullets fired from twenty feet, in calibers up to 7.62 NATO. Some soldiers have had their vest take more hits than that without penetration. Level IV trauma plates will stop even more than that, though since most info about them is classified its hard to say what exactly that entails.
Then, we come to the big daddy of them all, Dragon Skin body armor. This is the best body armor out there by a long shot. Its also not used by our troops because of some really pathetic bureaucratic *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ery, but that's a story for a different day. In any case, this stuff is built like scales. Discs of their proprietary ceramic plates are placed in a flexible carrier. This means the armor is far more breathable and flexible than normal plate type armor. Additionally, since a bullet will generally only strike a single scale, the rest are left intact to stop other bullets. Ballistics wise, this stuff is crazy. In testing, its stopped more than 40 7.62x39 rounds, and even successfully deflected a direct blast from an m67 frag grenade (Simulated 'jump on the grenade to save your squad' deal. Technically, the guy woulda survived). This stuff has even been documented stopping 3 direct hits from 7.62x39 API (armor piercing incendiary, which will generally go right through even plate armor.) in real combat. The guy said he didnt feel a thing, and it did not break his ribs. And there's a classified level IV dragon skin, which I can only imagine, is utterly insane.
So, with all that said, the only way I can see your materiel being impressive is if you put it behind a 1980's era PASGT (or soviet clone) vest with no plates, in which case your plate is probably around a level II trauma plate, which is impressive. (But still quite a ways behind the times, and rather pointless, as such) And thats assuming it was shot with a NATO FMJ load. If it was shot with any sort of soft point, wadcutter, hollow point or frangible round, then your plate coulda been a piece of plywood and still stopped what little energy a bullet like that would have after travelling through a basic vest. And if it was shot with AP or API rounds, then its more like a level III trauma plate. But I serious doubt you shot it with that, since AP ammo is practically illegal, and really expensive too.)
An additional assumption I am making here is that the shot in question was taken at an effectively point blank range, out of a legal barrel length gun. (16" barrel, NATO FMJ 55, ~3200fps) At that ballistic level, the bullet has lost almost 50% of its energy at 350 yards. In which case, if the shot was taken from ~200 yards, the plate would only need to be a basic level I trauma equivalent.
In any case, your material is very doubtfully groundbreaking.
Additionally, I'm quite curious how you intend on getting a 7x2x2' flame with a butane refill canister. I've done a fair bit of research and experimentation on this subject (Im the resident pyro expert here) and in my experience, one of those cans simply does not deliver enough flow for that amount of fire. It is possible with 16oz propane canisters (Ive done it), but they arent quite wrist mountable. And even at that size, they only burn for about ~1:00, assuming a somewhat regulated flow. If you just do a fully open dump, it'll empty in about 28 seconds, as I recall.
