Re: Good News in Body Armor Research
Not sure about this stuff, but check out the liquid body armor concept involving colloidal suspensions. Basically it would mean completely flexible body armor that would stop bullets on impact.
You can start to get an idea of how it works if you have ever done the kid's science experiment with corn starch & water.

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.

Re: Good News in Body Armor Research
Well it sounds like the science worked perfectly then. Cats are scientifically proven to attract & absorb bullets.Rock Island Ranger wrote:UhhhhhRangerX wrote:Did you smear it all over a cat?Rock Island Ranger wrote:Ive done that experiment and Corn Starch and water didnt stop the bullet.
