This would've gone into the Official Video thread if I didn't think it needed it deserves its own discussion.
This guy created a cheap, light-weight, bulletproof suit that looks like something that came out of Halo. Would you join the army if you knew you were going to wear something this wacky?
It has some pretty cool features though. It has a laser-pointing device to help in "sniper ambush situations", headlights, built-in radio, and there's even a solar-powered air-conditioner to help cool whoever is wearing it down. What I find ridiculous though is that there's a can of mace on his right arm. When the soldier is all out of bullets and there are like...10-20 insurgents coming in...what's he going to do? It's simple. He would simply go into the prone position, lift up his arm, and there we go."
There's also a "cock clock" (at least that's what I like to call it). You'll know why once you watch the video. Oh yeah, and he shows you the prototypes and testing at the end.
His inspiration? "Well, I went back to my earlier designs...I did look at Star Wars, I looked at Halo...the..eh, video game..uhh..and then I started talking to the professionals in the field."
