CANADA WINS

Armor

They either win by intimidation factor.

or lose becuase they look pretty silly

anyway...
the suit is useless from what I read.
its a swiss army knife with no real protection

theirs also a little wisdom from Gordan at the end of batman
I dont remember the exact quote.

but, you make a bullet proof suit...and nobody will use bullets anymore.

and even if it does get to war department...
you can bet its gonna be used on specialized situations that rarely occur.

realisticly...its still gonna be bulky, and cumbersome. despite what anyone says.
hell normal military gear is bulky combersome. I've worn it.

realisticly this suit is a Coffin

its got no real value on in real warfare.
it'd get you killed easier than being un armored.

1. it makes you a target.
2. 4 hours? when was the last 4 hour war?
3. your head can still come off...and so can all your other limbs.
4a. if its bullet prof..then the enemy will know this and just RPG your dumb ass.
4b. or just get a sniper to get a throat shot.

this suit, is best used for extended camping trips.

he should aim for the real money and just sell the very base level suit and idea to film makers.
he's pretty much done the leg work for Iron Man

anybody whose played Rainbow Six Vegas, knows that the best you can activly do is.

He should become a supervillain and use the suit like the green goblin does in the spiderman film.

hey, don't knock it, it's the first step towards Elementals, once we get trueborn Elementals everyone else is fucked.

If DARPA had made this you'd be praising it

But it DOES look like a death trap.

DARPA isnt some guy
and has to do undergo actual meaningful tests.

also if DARPA made it, it would have been done years ago if it was useful at all. the concept is simple enough.

But since DARPA or a similar organization didnt make it. or atleast doesnt have a simlar model in use.

then the only logical explaination would be becuase the suit is coffin with limbs

He should have called it the Mjolnir Mark I.

Right now conventional armour is too heavy and bulky to wear on the legs, anything is better than nothing, I have no idea who DARPA are but they should atleast be paying attention.

There is some debate as to who really invented the Internet. In reality, I think a couple of large networks were formed at around the same time and then later merged. One of those large networks was DARPA's.

Canada has an army?

I would say it's good if we hadn't already developed THIS

It's only in vest form at the moment, but it's easily able to be made to cover just about whatever you want since the armor is basicly a set of scales.

Here's some survivor stories:

Name: Jaco S. Botes
Incident type: IED Ambush - Vehicular
Location:Iraq
Employment: Team Black Cobra; PSD DynCorp International, Iraq
Details: Survived three impacts from 7.62x39mm API. Two rounds in lower back one inch apart and one in the upper portion of back. Did not even bruise from impacts sustained in body armor.

Name: N/A
Incident type: Patrol Ambush, U.S. Special Operations
Incident: Afghanistan
Employment: U.S. Military
Details: Survived seven impacts from 7.62x54R LPS. All seven rounds contained in approximately 5" impact location within upper front torso.

Name: N/A
Incident type: Sniper encounter
Location: Iraq
Employment: Reconstruction Contractor
Details: Survived five impacts from 7.62x39 mild steel core. All five rounds impacted the front, sides and rear of the vest while descending from power pole repair work. Did not even bruise from impacts sustained in body armor.

video of the lame Canadian armor

make sure to watch the end where he runs around to goofy music.

7.62x39 round is a bullet designed in World War II, body armour has delvoped from a heavy jacket and a sniffer of brandy. Standard Armour is kevlar with metal plate reinforcement, Kevlar wasn't invented by the military either.

Whilst I agree his ideas are perhaps slighty over exaggerated and have not been subjected to independent testing, I don't think they should be dismissed out of hand. Technology is War and as long as we have to send people into danger zones instead of Terminators then devleping technology to help them do that and live is a good Idea imo.

He asked people in the field, what they needed, seems like a smart move to me but when you involve the goverment making sense isn't always the first move. Then again this costs $2000 a go, they couldn't even send troops to Iraqi with proper boots (British army).

In World War II the Panzer tank was virtually immune to allied tanks, their rounds would bounce off it's armour, having the technological edge is important, America can win a modern encounter by using it (i.e. Aircraft). I don't see the problem with finding new ways to make your losses less than theirs.

That goofy video showed him getting hit in the arms out stretched with baseball bats and still using the arm, that's pretty fucking good imo.
