Bullet-Proof Skin being developed, wtf?

That would fucking hurt to get shot wearing that. Probably break your bones.

^ this is what I was thinking. The force of the bullet alone could kill you. So it would make bulletproof skin kinda pointless in some aspects.

Agreed. Soldiers get broken bones when shot while wearing the heavy-duty ceramic body armor rated for rifle rounds. A thin skin wouldn't give me comfort for anything but the smallest handgun rounds. Wear this stuff, and get shot by a .357? No thanks. The blunt force trauma would probably kill you.

Bro, haven't you been to the movies - get shot with a .44 round at 3 meters with a vest on and you get straight back up.

Physics... nah fuck that.
 
they will produce it, so they will wear it first. If they will still be alive, it must be good
 
the article said:
It was not able to stop a bullet from a .22 caliber rifle shot at a normal speed, which is the required standard for today's bulletproof vests.

".22 is the required STANDARD for today's bulletproof vests" ?!?!

WTF? What retarded police force or military is betting that the bad guys run around with only .22's? (not .223's or 5.56 or 7.62 or 9mm)

How is a .22 the fucking standard for a bulletproof vest? I would think the 9mm Parabellum would be the bare fucking minimum stopping power you'd want in a vest. Then again, what the fuck do I know?

1. I don't think that article is correct about that.

2. .22LR has an upper velocity of almost 1700fps whereas 9mm tops out at about 1400fps. Because of the matrix construction used in most ballistic armor, the .22 actually has a better chance at penetration than the 9mm in some cases because if it's small surface area and relatively high velocity.

You should see what 7.62x25 can do! We tested a ballistic glass panel with 7.62x51 NATO, 8mm Mauser, and several handgun calibers and nothing other than 5.7mm and 7.62x25 would make it more than halfway through. 5.7mm did well with probably 60% penetration whereas the 7.62x25 went through like BUTTER.
 
How about skin as a vital breathing organ? Not to mention skin sensuality....
 
Just because your skin can stop the round; doesn't mean the round didn't stop you.

You get hit by a .45 at reasonably close range -- all you want is your mommy.
