SOLDIERS are to begin trialling a futuristic “liquid armour” that is worn like ordinary clothing but turns into a rigid shield as soon as it is hit by bullets or shrapnel.
A lightweight vest impregnated with STF has already been tested and has proved able to stop knife-stabs, fragmentation blasts, lower-power bullets and even hypodermic needles. At this level of development, it is suitable for staff such as police and prison officers.

Would love to see a video of this shit in action.

I've read about them. Sweet to the max

Yeah, these advances in technology are getting crazy. Like that article about the invisible shield around tanks and stuff. That was badass.

And on top of that I've heard that the middle easterns have just invented camouflaged towels and robes. This war is getting hitech

Jesus, sounds incredible, like something out of a movie.
All these new technologies are so unbelievable, like that robot suit that increases your strength a hundred times; and even advances in virtual reality.
I honestly can't wait til I'm 30 or 40 and seeing all the crazy future shit we have.
EDIT: lolben.

Haha
INVISIBLE SHIELD
It wasnt an invisible shield like a power field or anything it was a system that fired small counter missiles that detonated -> destroying missiles before they would hit the tanks and stuff.
It was just the way the yanks had made the story about it... that might have implemented these LIES in your head(s)
This is just like the notes thingy

That just may be reason enough to re-enlist....
07 September 2006, 07:11 UTC#11
I just say nuke 'em all.
07 September 2006, 13:53 UTC#12
Pointless though, cause once these come into play they will just make bigger badder guns.

Ive seen a video of that stuff on torrentspy.com... Its crazy they poured a stream of it and shot it with a bullet and the stream hardend and stopped the bullet... I think they call it impact gel or impact liquid
07 September 2006, 14:26 UTC#15
