We simply must save all of the children!

A 'CASH FOR COMPOSITE METALS' program is dearly needed!

Simply applying composite metal foams over baby buggies and bassinets might save a child! This program would employ many unskilled and jobless from the dregs of society.

Please support the 'CASH FOR COMPOSITE METALS' program by calling your congressman!

LOL. The timing is pretty phenomenal.

  Bad news for bullets this week: Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a super strong armor material that literally turns bullets to dust upon impact. In a rather dramatic video recently posted online, an armor-piercing bullet is shown essentially disintegrating as it impacts the armor. Check it out: (video at link) The armor plating shown in the video is made in part from composite metal foams, or CMFs, which are both lighter and stronger than traditional metal plating used in body and vehicle armor.

looks like a real breakthrough (pun not intended!)

I am so glad that I’m too old to have to worry about stuff like this on the battlefield.

So they 30-06 AP ammo?

Don’t know if this stuff is more effective than other armor but if it is less costly then it should gain some widespread use.

This has Ponderosa written all over it

lol

Earlier testing has demonstrated that CMFs can withstand extremely high temperatures and effectively block x-ray, gamma ray and neutron radiation.

This I have to see.

If true there is going to be some new chapters written in college physics text books.

How long before Hornady comes out with CMF ammo?

Awesome! One step closer to transparent aluminium.
