dragon skin body armor

[Hollos]

first thing U will not be insured if u wore dragon skin on ops second its not as good as osprey, the plates on osprey or EBA will stop a 7.62 short from a AK my plt Sargent was shot in Iraq it hit his plate all he did was fall over and get straight back up (he kept the plate got it mounted at home) if u don't believe me read Michael Yong the yank reporter who was with 2/4 rifles in the palace in Basra he wore dragoon skin now he trying to sell it on eBay saying that's next to urine poor

digging up a old thread here, but i know a lot about this subject

Dragon skin is better then british body armor, it is better then the US bodyarmor. Its been proven in a lot of tests. When the US army teted it it was purposly failed. Even the level 5 body armor that is top secret was made to fail.

This is mainly because the US is developing a liquid bodyarmor and doesnt want to spend a shit load on buying dragon skin to then buy them.

This liquid bodyarmor is going to b light weight and like a gel, it is free moving and soft to touch, but when something with high velocity hits the armor the particles bind together and stop the bullet.

It's been in the news for a while now.

To add to this I've also read about a future liquid body armour that the US are trying to develop which goes rigid when an electric current is applied.As well as nano technology etc giving a soldier huge amounts of strength:The creation of a 'super soldier' so-to-speak.Its all science fiction right now,but still interesting to learn about.

The USMC has banned their lads from having it. They have to use what they're issued. If anyone is interested, I read that on an article a while back (2007 I think) on Military.com

I've seen some of the nanotechnology being pioneered in Israel. It looks like pretty neat stuff. They had these trousers which looked exactly like the real thing, and they poured water on them. The nano particles are so fine, water is far too dense to penetrate them so it formed droplets and rolled right off them. It's only the first prototype but it looks like it'll soon be in everything before you know it.

Won't be long then before some people come up with a way to penetrate that stuff as well. It's a never ending cycle.
Even more deadly stuff heads to the battlefield!

haha, WELL then . I agree with AJ though. Better armor means they look for more penetration power in weapons. Hand held nukes

I wouldn't know, I'm above that sort of thing.
