Lehrer News - Dragon Skin® Body Armor (Part 2 of 2)

[jagara1]

I have an even better idea!

Let's stop sending troops to foreign lands to fight wars that are basically tribal wars.

[CyberSoldierD19]

If a soldier buys his won Dragon armor & gets hurt in combat, All military benefits are for fitted. Where are told. YOU cant use this armor in combat. We are told that its a band armor & when you get shot. You lose all military benefits..

PST. I dont read comments over my posts. To me its a 1 way conversation.

[Iwantedtoknow16802]

@CyberSoldierD19 is english your first language...It seems to me it isnt.

[nitojo7]

The Army has a long history of giving contracts to companies that make the cheap shit. The Bradley, humvee and stryker all have fuel mileage and armor problems.

[TheCrushpanzer]

Isn't LTC. James Mattis the guy that was in Generation Kill?

[hasukumori]

You Dumbass. at 2:46 you say independant testing. It didnt pass independant testing. It passed Private closed testing supervised only by you. It failed the independant tests then it was recalled later.

[kalosbas]

is there a video about the thing he says at 5:36 for the guns?

[BigJim2]

has anything changed in the military about dragon skin since this documentary?

[RobertWeekes]

Stitching the discs into the vest COULD be a sewing nightmare. Depends how you do it.

defensetech (dot) org/archives/003504.html

The easy way is to sew each disc into its own pouch, then stitch them to the inside vest layer like buttons (protecting thread behind discs). Relatively straightforward and no adhesive is needed.

Hence they would stay in place regardless of hazard, thus passing the standard military armor test and removing the single major obstacle for fielding the armor.

[TheFirstAngloSaxon]

shame u haven't got the patent for the British d30 much better that this crap and its scheduled to be modified for heavy armored everything for our troop lol it will make the bullets bounce off us. yet another British idea that will get stolen no doubt. good luck with dragon-skin no one wants to buy it too expensive....

[Sinishaaa]

LOL this is like in movie, good vs bad...and the bad ones are in military some...and a good ones (ppl tax payers) are trying to fight it...but just like in movies government will make it settle down over time and close eyes infront of this cuz they r corupt bitches just like every other government in the world... FUCK THEM!!!

[TJstrong11]

what these videos dont tell you is that dragon in the army test was soaked in motor oil 2 weeks prior to the tests. This also means the army wanted the vests 2 weeks before test day, which pinn. armor refused to do, but the army said if we dont get them 2 weeks in advance then we will never consider them

[2J8O4S6H9]

tyipcal officers and contractors only care about them selfs and there money...fuckes

[xenomorphelv426]

US armed force are leaded by a bunch of mafiosos, they prefer their contracts rather than to save lifes.

[Im2Cool4UFoeva]

@xenomorphelv426 damn straight

[cri8tor]

BGEN Brown needs to be placed in front of a firing squad along with all the other traitors in the military for putting our lives at risk!

[rbolo29]

Supposely, the military tested twelve or so 7.62x54R type rounds that penetrated Dragon Skin body armor. I believe that might be level IV ammunition against a level III vest(sov 2000)?

Also, there are claims that colder temperatures or higher can weaken the vest(ceramic disks) or that oblique shots can cause penetration of dragon skin between disks.

[rbolo29]

Obviously, the military isn't officially releasing exact details? I'm thinking they don't want to pay the $7,800 cost of the body armor vs $1,800 or so for Interceptor with ceramic strike plates.

[benjsy]

if i where that interviewer i wouls seriously kick the cunt outa that specky four eyed old twat for bein such a loser, ''my company is better than dragon skin'', if it is then fucking explain the amout of deaths ur fucking pussy armour is producing oh my god i want to kill this guy for being suck an absloute dick, they cant take it that dragon skin is the best body armour in the world, we are the people, and we are the ones risking our lives in Iraq, give us what we need

[tkcwu]

DOGS roff roff~

[fireball676]

snobby ass top brass bastards.

[flacoownsyou]

stupid rich motherfuckers i hope they go to hell, we got troops in iraq that we cant give good body armor

[naujitii]

every single US infantryman should have Dragonskin issued to them.

I support the troops, not the Bush interests.

[benjsy]

i personally hate America for everything it has done, but this just makes it down even lower, their basically murdering people for money and new technology, bunch of pussys, they are scared of dragon skin taking over that bankrupt interceptor company

DRAGON SKIN, DRAGON SKIN, DRAGON SKIN

we want to win this war?hugh? America fuck off and give these troops what they need, they need dragon skin. why dont you go out and fight or are you scared u might get shot?assholes go fuck yourselves twats

[Dkslong]

bullshit

[azn4989]

this is bullshit fuckin selfish bastards up top can only think about money...

if they really do believe what they are saying why do they refuse 1 on 1 testing??

all this testing and the only one that comes up with a failure is the army's tests.... hmmm i wonder who i should trust

[Forzanuccii]

Mark Brown you are full of shit, Sir! you knows whats going on!

[Forzanuccii]

interceptors sucks! thats why i wont join the Army since i way pass the cutoff age of the Marines!

[cocainebuisnezz]

It's all logical; if marines wear dragon skins in iraq the death numbers will drop, that means that the U.S government is going to be spending more money on the monthly payment for soldiers, becuase for a fact, they will live longer. 2nd dragon skin armor is more expensive then the intercetor armor. Third the U.S army is currently working on other projects and don't have budget to use dragon skin on a mass scale. Conclusion: the U.S army doesn't have enough money at this time.

[Baconrobocop]

oh yeah? why don't you go fight a war instead of typing bullshit comfortably sitting in front of your computer.. then we'll see if you will ask for more security, for more life protection.

[naujitii]

dude, Dragonskin will save your life if you are a serviceman. This is for your benefit to get the job done and come alive.

I have high respect for those in the call of duty, If I had the money, I would have every single US infantryman wearing the best of the best, which in my opinion is dragonskin.w

[Baconrobocop]

Read what i just said.. ''DUDE" you'll understad then.

[lydellb]

So he works out a contract with a company that makes body armor for the military, then he goes to work for them....seems like bullshit to me, I call shenanigans. Dragon skin is the future, this shouldn't be about money, its about lives.

[hoboking3]

i really hate some of this bullshit

[slim8975]

BULLSHIT!!!!!

[a7green]

If they know it doesn't work and a soldier gets killed, due to poor armor, that's MURDER.

[dutchray]

smells like corruption all over.
