| Centurion | i think the main issue with dragon skin is that is vulnerable to ricochets that may bounce off the ground and come up in between the plates. If i recall correctly, it is also much heavier than the interceptor armor which you prob wouldnt want to be carrying around in the 110 degree heat.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Even if it is heavier, I know I'd want the best protection I could get if I was entering a building with a lot of angry bad guys with Kalashnikovs pointed at the door. I guess the only way to know if Dragon Skin really works is to compare it side-by-side with Interceptor, but I don't know any civilians rich enough to do that.
