Dose anyone know what type the US military is currently using? Are we still using the interceptor or have we swichted to dragon skin?

would be interesting. i saw a documentaion about this vest, and man that thing is like wearing a bunker... the only thing they haven't testet was shooting at a dragon skin vest with .50
does anyone know if theres a chance to survive, just survie a hit with .50?

I'm guessing that the sheer energy might be enough to kill you.

Id rather get stabbed to death than get shot by a .50 cal lol

Um why? .50 cal is instant death, even if u dont get hit by it.

The only problem with Dragon Skin is it comes apart in high heat. Otherwise it looks very nice, took 11 rounds of .308 from a FAL carbine at point blank in their tests. Of course the guy wearing it would probably be on the ground with a chest of broken ribs after that...

Sure beats the alternative though!

Agreed, better to be alive with a few broken bones than having a chat with St. Peter

The one my base is currently using is plain old kevlar with a one bullet taking plate. -_-.... I wish we got dragonskin it's lighter and it would take more rounds, since the ones we have, per testing, will shatter after one shot from an M-4 carbine

There are guys in the sandbox who need that more than you do right now. At least you got a plate. Most soldiers in the world don't.
