that cant be right the hit is to high up from where the actual round hit the vest
-
@class2b Actually no, that's not armor. That's a clay form that goes under the armor which outlines the vitals area that the armor is supposed to protect. It's used to also show backface deformation.
-
at 1:21 you can see the shape of the armor which is the interceptor not dragon skin. Dragon skin has scale like layers
-
how does interceptor do in this test?
-
@brainplay, i did not know the armor that heavy.
-
@brainplay I'm talking about this video, where in the hell do you see any congress?? LMAO!!
-
@moistfaucet Do you like wearing 70lbs of armor before adding another 50lbs of ammo and gear on top of that?
-
@raxeon The video is more than conclusive. It was shown before Congress and Murray himself was pointed out while being questioned. Dragonskin hype was so overblown that it became the only armor to get a Congressional hearing and a second round of testing under very heavy scrutiny. The armor failed both times. Congress lambasted Murray for wasting their time. The results were made public. Under optimal conditions the armor works fine. Combat is usually not under optimal conditions.

@ThatUJohnWayne Feel free brother. Only stipulation, always respect those who serve regardless of country. :)

A faggot wrapped in a rainbow?
You don't mind if I steal that would you? That has to be one of the funniest things I've heard in awhile.
@SkInHoUnD you're cool. go be a keyboard warrior somewhere else douchebag. People who serve in the military and who many have loved ones serving want to know. Now sit down. Shut the fuck up and let the adults talk. Or go indulge in some cock. You're a faggot wrapped in a rainbow. Have a nice day.

@W1zardF1ngers428 I don't think the plates need to be replaced most of the time, even after the vest is shot, considering the more than 100 rounds of ammunition they put through these vests while testing them. And they're NOT too heavy. I've got a good friend who is a police officer and on the SWAT team, everyone else on that team, my brother included, wears dragon skin armor. Fully geared, they weigh close to a typical soldier, and they can perform just fine, so I'm not buying your argument.
