anyway, here's the link to the video of a failed test...

This seems like an anomaly to me

well, maybe, but that's not the test that murray neal, the creator of dragonskin said was unfair.

so, i sort of hate to resuscitate this topic, but there's a house hearing tomorrow (thursday) at 10 A.M. EDT on Dragon Skin. so, we'll get a verdict soon.

What's to hear?

The science speaks for itself.

yep, but remember, this is a bureaucracy, so science doesn't really get a chance to say anything...

The verdict seems ok, if this is what it is:

"While Hunter subjected both Neal and Coyle to harsh questioning over their claims, the California lawmaker agreed that another round of tests is the only thing that will put the issue to rest."

At least they'll try figuring it out based on scientific principles.

Its Good Armor But If They Could Make It For Arms And leg It Would Kick Ass. And Also Made If They Made It A Littel More Tuff

eh, maybe. what he has now seems to be pretty good, but is a little impractical in a hummvee. also, i haven't seen any testing of it. i'd like it to get an NIJ rating before anything else.

i dont know why they dont use the dragon armour they teseted it on future weapons and it even blocked a gernade, well the armour gets all screwed up but still you live

You know them making something like that actually make a lot of sense.

No one could survive a grenade that close, that test just proved how strong dragon skin was.

For true. Blunt trauma alone would have killed the wearer...but it does prove strength.

nope.
dragonskin is SOMETIMES tough, and sometimes it fails on the second shot, like it did in the army testing.

If you are referring to the video you posted earlier, that wasn't a good video you couldn't tell if that was dragonskin and they didn't show the damage to the armor.

>> No I was refering to a paste that Troy Hubuilese has invented that acts as a super hardening compound. It was designed to be "painted" on Hummers for extra thick armor.

that was the army testing video. it was dragonskin, and murray neal, the creator of dragonskin is seen inspecting the armor that failed. after they took down the plate, you could see the gouges in the clay that represents the soldier's body.

ive heard there a new armor coming at that is 3 times better than dragon skin....those are just rumors ive heard anyway...

the best defence is a weapon of pure unadultered mass destruction as you can see in my sig below...bring out the god damn tear gas artillery round already!

no. tear gas isn't a weapon of mass destruction, it's a weapon of crowd control.
and about the "pure unadulterated mass destruction" bit, no again.
