That guy is practically insane, but there is a thin line between that and genius. And I think with this he's proved he's closer to the latter.

Video was pretty impressive. I think he's been to the future and found about about this stuff and knows how to make it. Then every now and then he "creates" it! Cmon everyone, it would make sense! Time traveler!!!

thats old... but I've actually been looking for that video... this guy also supposedly invented whats called the"angel light" that can see though any surface. What they need to do for this to work is plate the whole car with the material, other wise what if the bullet were to pierce where the padding isn't

I think I've seen something about that guy and his bear suit before.

Didn't he also invent something to see through walls with? Or some kind of laser? I forget what exactly, but I remember his haircut.

Edit: Quasmo got it. ANGEL LIGHT. That sounds like some super hero power cry.

if i heard correctly, the protection bag includes 60 layers of steel plates and kevlar... "13-13" is 105x stronger than steel pound for pound... "fire paste".... this guy is a wacko.

wow, damn, that armor took quite a beating. I'd send it to the troops in Iraq, if not for door armor, then for a big seat cushion!

You'd think the guy could scrounge up a couple of investors so his tests wouldn't look so damned amateur.

He seems like a brilliant guy, but he really needs to hire some PR and marketing people if he's serious about selling his product/patent rights. Right now he comes of as a brilliant lunatic.

Think if the North Hollywood shootout guys were covered in that stuff and had a few more guns...

His test didnt really prove anything about his armor's resistance to grenades and RPGs. Shrapnel and shaped charges are a lot different than dynamite strapped to your armor, and shotgun pellets are about the easiest projectile to stop. I'd like to know what specific round they were using for the 7.62mm testing. And I think he was talking about M855 rounds rather than M995 when he said "AP 223" rounds.... basically, it wasnt as impressive as he leads you to think. Now, if it took 50 rounds of 50BMG rounds without failing to stop any, then I'd be impressed.

That said, I am not against this stuff being tested. Just that it isnt a sure thing.

how many knots did he achieve flying over the coo coo's nest?

you know who is really a genius? The inventor of kevlar not the half baked potato salad for brains that used it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the reporter said they used slugs later. She also said they used the most powerful ammo.

Regardless if it is different, that much dynamite strapped to your armor still should blow that thing to pieces.
