I’ve seen a helmet made with this stuff and it had been shot with a .50cal and there was barely a dent! I saw another plate that had been hit with 60 rounds (not sure of the caliber) with no penetration. Totally amazing. I think that once it gets traction, a lot of companies will go out of business. Hence, there might be a lot of resistance too.

You get hit in the noggin with a 50 cal, it doesn’t matter if the helmet stops the round because the impact force alone will more than likely snap your neck.
