The short answer: no.
As for stuff spraying into the vacuum after being shot, I suppose it would, just as a real wound would bleed all over the victim.
But the suits of the Marine are built to keep a safe personal environment (hence the oxygen tank) so it is not a stretch to say that the suit can handle getting pummeled by projectiles.
