Unfortunately, the GIs don&#039;t have any body armor at all, because their government so frivolously spent all that money on cell phone cameras to conduct surveillence. Now we&#039;ve got a few dead soldiers to add on top of the &quot;spent pile&quot;, along with the money for the cameras (which were probably made in a foreign country, so no money for the common american laborer).
That sounds like a genius plan dude. If you are going to spout ideas like that without thinking them through, then you&#039;re better off keeping your mouth shut, and letting the people who have been over there and had to deal with those retards do the thinking. This vest sticks and so does the army&#039;s IOTV. We&#039;d be better off with the [plate carriers the soldiers used to wear in DS. At least that stuff allowed your body to breathe. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So they send out a platoon or two to take these guys out.

let&#039;s say the powers that be somehow get wind of your little plan and they test it out in let&#039;s say, Kirkuk, Iraq. So they have thousands of cameras on every street corner and every alleyway. They see someone doing stupid stuff, for this purpose, loading a pair of 155mm Russian artillery rounds attatched to a washing machine timer with a 9v battery powersource.
Now what? They just sit there eating pop tarts and drinking Rip Its, appaled at the actions that these should-be civilized people are doing? So what, we just watch and let them do this, again and again. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Campbell,</p><p>let’s say the powers that be somehow get wind of your little plan and they test it out in let’s say, Kirkuk, Iraq.

Oh wait, I can see down this street because I am watching my little computer screen that displays what the cameral sees rather then looking around my area of operation.  Good luck finding funds for your awesome idea haha. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>your a true idiot.  yeah, no need for body armor as long as we have cameras at every corner…when was the last time a camera stopped a 7.62 bullet?

It&#039;s a been a while and a long time coming, but we just hit a mile stone with our flexible rifle armor.
At 7.5 Lbs/Sq. Ft. our New B4C flexible rifle armor was able to defeat one of the worst rounds fired out of a military rifle, the Swiss 7.62mm x 51mm HCAP factory ammunittion.
The lab report shows 33mm Trauma on this 196 gr. Tungsten carbide round. This was hit on a seam as well. We are very excited about this because it was a very convincing stop. We see the above weight as extremely overdesigned.
This round as compared to the M993, the noted XSAPI threat is vastly superior. This round will  will penetrate level 4 and 4+ plus plate
and the typical OTV soft armor system at 250m and 200M repsectively. This is a very tough round to stop. And it was easy at a weight range that is very acceptable according to the Army experts. It is available for ordering by qualified personnel, but be prepared it&#039;s also VERY expensive.
