Whatever happened to liquid armor concepts?
Always just speculative. The poles were playing with it a few years back and they found that while it did significantly reduce BFD, it didn't actually increase ballistic protection meaningfully over an aramid layer of equivalent weight and bulk. And at the very least in countries that use the NIJ standards, BFD is extremely lenient; so while that might be genuinely valuable (especially for helmets), nobody cares very much.
>>65232827I always figured the advantage of liquid armor would be to use it in a hybrid armor system where you still have hard plates but they can be very light and thin while still giving the same, if not more ballistic protection.

>>65232805>toe slidersIs black guy supposed to be dragging shoulder while riding diesel supersport through the gap in the lines as a daring exploitation maneuver or did they just like the look of motorcycle track boots?>>65232974Futuristic military concepts MUST be put on the random SSG they found nearby or they will fail. No babes, not Jean Claude Van Damme looking dudes. Otherwise your program gets cancelled in the budget reconciliation process in favor of improved radio antennas. Thems the bones.
My dad made this. It was too successful and the government took it away for use in artillery shell casings. Apparently reactive liquid armor is amazing for holding nuclear bomb fuses. Also it's not really "liquid", it starts as a liquid-like oil foam and turns into liquid under high compression or heat. It's also extremely heavy and everyone that actually had to try it as armor hated it. Supposedly the army still uses it for certain types of EOD and mineclearing gear. This stuff is less special than you think, dad got the idea from it after mom ordered a bunch of christmas decorations from oriental trading and it all melted in transit. It's basically the same deal but with a few more chemicals added to make the hardening/softening process more predictable. We also have a patent for abrasive aircraft tires/stop strips using the same formulation. I can't talk more about it without glowniggers finding me and they are reading this thread right now.

That's all just a lot of kevlar and some harder frag plates also made out of kevlar.>artillery shell casingsThat's literally just steel. Unless you mean the shipping cases? Those are made out of wood with maybe some fiberboard or foam padding depending on the DODIC.>it starts as a liquid-like oil foam and turns into liquid under high compression or heatLiterally the opposite of how liquid armors function. They're non-newtonian fluids. They get more solid the more shock is applied, like the cornstarch and water you made as a kid in science class.Those people following you are the FBI hunting a targeted individual. It's the county sheriff trying to serve a warrant issued for chromosome theft.

I just want COG armor irl without it weighing 120 pounds.
>>65232805Could someone ID the boots on camo dude?
>>65232805The one on the left was supposed to carry a small-caliber PDW with 4xunderbarrel micro-missiles. Which probably would have been a better idea than the M-7.
>>65232805lmao at the foggy visor
>>65232805the picture looks like two homosexual swingers meeting up at a military fetish convention
God I miss future combat systems era shit.

>>65234492>did they just like the look of motorcycle track boots?Using motorcycle/BMX gear as placeholder to complete the fit is tradition in prop departments.>>65235509I think he was trying to describe a suspension system for electronics in smart shells.That I know off, electronics are simply built to be rated for high Gs and then potted to prevent shocks from dislodging the components and breaking the solder.
