The slammers wore clamshell armour that slowed down powerguns, so I 
think hardened armour would slow them down. 

How about this: 
Powergun (Pistol): FP 1 Impact d8 (or d10 if you have a nasty bent)
Powergun (SMG): FP 3 Impact d8 (or d10 if you are evilly inclined)
Powergun (Rifle): FP 2 Impact d12 
Powergun (Tribarrel): Support Weapon FP d12 Impact D12

Powerguns versus armour: 
Partial powered armour (like say the israelis wear or hardshell like 
some of the german troops) is treated as one level worse (ie if the 
armour was D8 versus normal weapons, its D6 versus powerguns). 
Other soft or non-reflective armours are USELESS. Defender rolls D4 
for armour checks. PA is unaffected.

Yeah, how about Armour 3+ vehicles?  I think an Armour 5 MBT could 
well be conceived of as having such wicked armour.
