@Bfwizard15 that's actually quite wrong. The main issue that it had was that it couldn't properly redistribute the force of the bullet. When the navy did testing, it found that the blunt force which was received from the hit strike face was still VERY lethal. The "testing" most people refer to when they talk about the wonders of Dragonskin is generally the testing done in the future weapons issue. Every thing done in that episode can be done by level III armour.

if u want to test a weaker version at home witch is the way all this started mix corn starch and water then punch it rapidly and then just put your fist on it, it will sink and if u pull it up rapidly once your in the bowl will lift with it u got to go slow

the way this shit works is that the molecules actually get into a tighter formation the harder the impact is. I believe the term is non-Newtonian fluid Kind of like corn starch in water how you can smack it and run on top of it, but lightly moving your hand or walk slowly and it is like a liquid and you sink. If the bullet does gain a tad more velocity like one comment said when heated then that would be the reason they heated it. Making the bullet go faster actually makes this armor stronger

@only1option Bragging? No, just stating what he is. You're an asshole.

@yourkillersfan yes well you have to think in the long run if we go to war with Korea for example they have heat rockets, .50, 7.62 so you think about it that is why they still use shit from the cold war like the Abrams the cobra the apache longbow and others

@EhhhRiteYaPureGadgie i dont know to much about this, but my guess is they are cooking the round, so the gunpowder outputs more power than it would cold.

The whole video was not about the kevlar or whatever, its just testing of a special shear resistant liquid (non-newtonian) on any kinds of aramid (in this case they use Kevlar) or ballistic fabric. It simply makes the material more resistant, not totally so. No sucha thing as god mode armour....
Yes it in Singapore and it is tested in the indoor range at Cisco.

@EhhhRiteYaPureGadgie All i know was he was heating the round, and bullets travel faster when heated because the powder will burn at a higher rate then normal. It does a little, not a whole lot.

@Bfwizard15 So one failer means it sucks forever and can't be improved upon at all huh how long did it take for the Military to upgrade the M16 to a survacable rifle again? you know that would work good enough what 10-20 years minimum and they can't even try upgradeing a great design/concept with some minor heat issues? Yeah sure bet it's to expencive and would rather use you guys as bullet magnets for the SF oh well have fun trying not to get shot.
@Breaker3051 I'm a PFC in the Marine Corps, so which body armor I get is obviously very important to me. For a while I was also astounded that the DOD didn't issue all troops Dragonskin after the testing I'd seen. However, I looked into it and the key reason it isn't used is because at sustained high temperatures (such as in Iraq and Afghanistan) the adhesive in the vest falls apart, turning it's greatest strength into a catastrophic weakness.
