Ballistic Knee Guard Small-Arms Fire Test: Impacts

[hardcorelifeforus000]

Idk why the fuck the military isnt buying Dragon Skin it stops bullets especially AK 47 bullets which are mostly used in Afghanistan and Iraq it stops a grenades even if u jump on it and i know this cause i saw a video of it. also there are Dragon Skin Knee Pads which stop a bullet and stop shrapnel of an IED which is what we need so our troops dont lose their legs or arms.

we need body armor that can STOP a bullet and NOT make you bleed at all. it needs to absorb the kinetic energy and that can stop at least 7.62 rounds (AK-47) or more

[john00001111]

we need light full body armor that is angled to deflect bullets!

Does the US Army use it? if not, they might wanna consider getting a new set of elbow/knee pads...

[Merdum69]

Interesting. Is it available for civilians?

sapperzulu: This particular pad is rated for Threat Level II, which is similar in penetration resistance to the original Kevlar helmet.

killsometimedude: Why does it not work?

[sapperzulu]

Are these level IIIA rated?

[killsometimedude]

this thing doesn't work

[tacarmUSA]

Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve them to meet your standards?

[USNS4USMC4]

it doesnt look that good

[tacarmUSA]

You are correct depending on the size of the projectile or fragment. A broken or shattered knee is still preferable over having the projectile piercing the knee and exiting the back of the leg, causing rapid blood loss and possible death in a short period of time. It also reduces the odds that the wearer will have his or her leg amputated and gives the orthopedic surgeon more options in repairing the damage.

the kinetic energy impact will still smash ur knee.
