Hey Allan: looks like military getting interested> very highly in your system/Skallar.Armor.. I'll leave it up to experts like you for The Flexible Body Armor but I HAVE A GREAT concept for Squad protection maybe helpful to accompany any human body armor for very good usage in conflict..email me sometime...Chris CBA Systems Co. I am out of the Human wearable body armor {forever}, but find my systems have huge value in """shielding""" due to low cost and very very lite weight.

Sorry Blackard, but the future weapons tests were a hoax. It was made to entertain, it has very little actual application.

The Military Channel had a segment about Dragon Skin Vest some time ago, they shot different serveral different size and type of bullets at it and none penatrated the vest; but when I watched a dummy with a dragon skin vest layed down on a hand granade the the grenade detonated and the vest was not penatrated.

I hope these manufacturers keep up the great research and can get this stuff fielded at a reasonable price. I’ve worn the standard armor for a while and its good, but but upgrades like this improve the morale of our warfighters.

The Aussies have taken a giant step backward with their new armour system.
The recently sacked Defence Minister had a Chinese girlfriend who was tight with the PLA and it’s procurement and supply branch in Beijing.
She was also a major stakeholder in an Aussie listed firm that suppplies all the new contract body armour to Aussie military forces.
Problem is, the armour is Chinese and Vietnamese manufactured and is at best, last generation stuff.
Yes, they are made of Dyneema, not kevlar and are reported to be quite thin and fragile
Even the trauma plates are only rated for a single hit — by 7.62 x 39!!!
To add insult to injury, the vests are not compatible with Aussie issue webbing and LBV so soldiers are having to buy their own stuff to try and make what they have, work.
So, Aussies are stuck with old school vests supplied by a possible future enemy who will know how to defeat the armour — all in the name of cost cutting.

the army is opening their eyes and dragon skin as great as it sounded was a lot heavier and it did NOT have a quick release on it so if you were to fall in a giants puddle like an ocean or a river, youd have an issue, also they wanted too much for it. but at least there looking into other options finally…–
thx and but look, we got another colourful scuttlebutt based on “maybe i saw it with my own eyes..” and everyone blogger is jumping on it like we got another “the best of the best for our best…” Eahh army, marines and navy, lets change all trainings, tactics, maintenance and planing becuz we got the chance to get the new super duper gear!
but what is it in reality? nothing more than pure rumor done by the producer of this gear.. i will start to belive him first, when we will get it cheaper, better and tested by army itself. before that; nice to know he is working on it but just let the blow(!) flying proudly away..

Cubanian cuisine is not my taste.

Spelling? Really? We are going to bitch about Spelling on here now? Albert E. (U might remember him as the E=mc2 guy) couldn’t spell to save his life. I can’t spell worth a darn, luck for me my father was smarter than guys like Drewb and realized that Spelling is not a great indication of intelligence or potental, so I went to private school (Where idiots that can’t get over the fact of a few spelling mistakes as long as they could understand the information where not allowed) and I did great, have a great job, make great money, and don’t have to deal with guys like Drewb (Although I did fire a guy for marking the spelling mistakes on one of my Engs reports before sending it up the line)
