Juggernaut is one of the most loathed perks in the game and is considered a very "noobish" perk to use. It is exactly the same as Stopping Power but in reverse, making it take one more bullet to die instead of one less bullet to kill. Weapons that are extremely dependent on Stopping Power (M21, M40A3, M16, and M14) are much worse at dealing with Juggernaut users.
In Call of Duty 4, Juggernaut is factually a better perk than Stopping Power. This is because Juggernaut not only cancels out bullet damage, it also affects explosive damage. So if a Juggernaut user and a Stopping Power user engage in a firefight, the Juggernaut will cancel out Stopping Power's bullet damage boost (and both will deal the same bullet damage to each other), but the Juggernaut will still take less damage from Grenades, Grenade Launchers, C4, Rocket Launchers, Claymores, Airstrikes, and all other explosives. Juggernaut is superior to Sonic Boom for similar reasons. In Hardcore however, it is almost completely useless because it only prevents some one shot kills, and still requires no more than 2 direct hits to die.
However, Juggernaut allows the player to survive one extra bullet's worth of damage. Stopping Power allows the player to eliminate all enemies with one less bullet each. In a server with eight guys on the other team, "Bullet Damage" has eight times the effectiveness of "Armor Vest". The ratio of use between Power and Juggernaut is more than ten to one (twenty, thirty to one, maybe). Such a massive majority of players use Stopping Power as if it were an absolute necessity that it truly does become a necessity. The few who use Juggernaut are using it more as a defense against Power rather than a Perk of its own merit."
Juggernaut can be considered essential to using shotguns in Call of Duty 4, as in 9 out of 10 close quarters battle (the only time a shotgun is useful), the shotgunner will be outgunned by an assault rifle or even an SMG user if they're using Stopping Power. This makes using Juggernaut with a shotgun less "noobish".
