Simple method: Apply PV value as a negative to the AR of any armor the character is wearing. If someone is hit with a PV 5 weapon while wearing AR 17 armor, the armor protects like it has an AR of 12.
It's quick, dirty, and not entirely accurate, but it doesn't require complex figuring.

Re: Using the Compendium of Contemporary Weapons in N&S - HELP!!
My quickie version is to reduce AR by 4, and make he AR into an RF (Reduction Factor; damage reduction). Someone with a high-powered rifle will still blow through most armor, but that's as it should be. If you get a critical, you can either do a multiple of damage, or reduce your multiple by 1 and ignore armor (e.g. You normally do double damage on a critical. You can choose to do normal damage and ignore armor, or do double damage. If you did triple damage on a critical, you could choose to do triple damage, or ignore armor and do double damage).
Armor takes damage equal to the amount it resist.
