hope that goes into mass production soon. Cant believe it stops a 7.62 round though holy crap.

It's amazing.

All soldiers should have this.

You know what is amazing, it looks just like something from medieval times. Some designs never die. Talk about full circle.

That stuff should definetly be issued as soon as possible. Though I can see British troops getting it any time soon, they just got new Osprey armour, and the MoD is never keen to spend money on anything.

if it can stop an ak, it should be introduced immediately, hope it isn't to expensive though.

Yea that is impressive, especially that it can take repeated hits and continue to stop them. Most plates in body armor break after a couple hits.

Shit they could make almost a suit with that. You could have the vest, a pair of thigh pads and a helmet with something like the scales incorporated.

40 rounds of 7.62 @ 20ft = No penetration.
Same vest
150 rounds of 9mm @ 10ft = No penetration.

So thats 190 rounds hitting the same vest and nothing goes through!

I saw a vid that blows these others away. (No pun intended)

The part where they are going full auto from 10 feet away is impressive.

a little drawback would probably be that without ballistic plates a shot would pretty much hurt - and render you incapable of doing anything (also, we already had a thread about this ^_^)

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough. El_Vikingo: Bob_Marley, the level 70 pimp, will satisfy your needs. Many thanks to the Forum's no.1 hottie for the sig pretties.
