Question about armor

Post by LowCrawler »

I saw the last few seconds of a show on History Channel a few days ago about body armor. And one of the things that they showed at the end was some sort of liquid that a normal shirt could be soaked in that would make it almost completely impregnable by bullets, blades, etc.

Did anyone else see this? I couldnt find anything on the internet about it, but i really dont have enough information to conduct a valid search.
Thanks

Would there be any way you could share what you saw with me? I only caught the very end? What is that goo stuff/how does it work?
When will it be deployed and to whom?
Any answers from you or anyone would be greatly appreciated

LowCrawler,

Search engines are your friend. I didn't see the program, but based on your description, I was able to find several articles on the subject. It took only three or four minutes on Yahoo, with maybe half a dozen different queries.
