realizing that the bullets bounce off the plate, i’m not sure i would have opened up on it from 10 feet away.

don’t get me wrong... sweet rig. it’s only aluminum? that stops bullets? why hasn’t that been done before?

and the next question... can he make a whole body suit out of it... with some red and gold paint?

I understand that it is a special alloy. Who knows, maybe there are red and gold suits on the horizon LOL. I hear they are adding one thing at a time because each item has to be individually certified. First the trauma plates, then the bigger body armor plates, etc... Could be used to armor vehicles and so forth. Seems the possibilities are endless.
