Amos was the head of the Bio-energy Materials Research Laboratory under the UA Energy Agency.
Because he was an expert, Amos could see through the material in front of him and how it violated his knowledge of biomaterial science.
A full body armor weighed 2.2 kilograms, and it was an armor embedded with an impact-resistant metal defense device.
Could this weight be called bulletproof armor?
It wasn't that Amos hadn't participated in the research of special materials. He also knew that the Interceptor bulletproof vest prepared by the army on a large scale weighed 3.8 kilograms. And this soft vest, when encountering an enemy on the battlefield, usually took an assault rifle bullet. If lucky, two ribs would break. If unlucky, the broken ribs would pierce the internal organs. Even if they didn't die, they would be crippled.
Therefore, this set of Interceptor bulletproof vest must be used with SAPI bulletproof inserts.
With the bulletproof inserts, even if the soldiers were shot at close range by an assault rifle, they would at most grit their teeth in pain and be unable to move for a second or two. Even if they were unfortunately swept by the bullets, they could become a hero again after a minute or two and pick up a weapon to join the battle.
Of course, this was based on the result of the bullet hitting the bulletproof inserts. As long as the bullet didn't hit the chest and abdomen with the bulletproof inserts, the outcome would be tragic.
Especially in the few battlefields where the army was now fighting security battles, the enemy there loved to use AKs, and the Russians liked to sell old arms stocks all over the world. As a result, the streets of those countries were filled with 7.62mm M43 copper-coated steel core bullets. This bullet was lighter than lead bullets, had a higher initial velocity, and had a higher penetration.
Often, the soldiers hid behind common bunkers like civilian cars, and the copper-coated steel core bullets could easily penetrate the car and make a big hole in the soldier's leg or arm.
As the saying goes, it's better to live than to die. With the Interceptor bulletproof vest, the death rate of the soldiers was at least greatly reduced. This way, the psychological burden of fighting was less and they dared to fight with fewer people.
The problem was …
An Interceptor bulletproof vest weighed 3.8 kilograms. According to the logistics allocation, it needed to be equipped with two ceramic bulletproof inserts.
This way, the total weight of the Interceptor bulletproof vest reached 7.4 kilograms.
The new generation of Interceptors paid special attention to the protection of the soldiers' vital parts. After all, the soldiers would rather break their legs than the middle part. Therefore, the new generation of Interceptors also provided two small bulletproof inserts below the pelvis. The total weight reached 8.2 kilograms.
Soldiers were also humans, not superhumans. They had to wear Interceptor bulletproof vests, carry assault rifles, carry large amounts of ammunition, carry pistols, carry helmets, night vision goggles, binoculars, and carry straps …
When all these miscellaneous items were added together, it resulted in an average marching load of 46 kilograms, and an average combat load of 25 kilograms.
Therefore, in normal battles, soldiers would only wear a bulletproof board to protect their abdomen. No one was willing to carry a backpack. Because he only carried one piece, he had to bear more than six kilograms of weight and the inconvenience of not being able to bend his back freely. With two pieces, it was extremely inconvenient to even lay down and shoot. The back board would often hit the helmet.
What did it feel like to wear this 2.2 kilogram full body bulletproof armor?
Amos was full of malicious thoughts. He should let the young president of Monster Industries wear it, and then stand in the shooting gallery to be tested with live ammunition.
Anyway, many bosses of special bulletproof material companies liked to do this, and the publicity effect was extraordinarily good.
…
Monster Industries used a dummy. This dummy was covered with sensors. The exterior was made of ballistic gel very similar to human muscle tissue, and the interior was made of brittle materials made strictly according to the bone mass of a normal person.
The impact force transmitted to the human body and the impact area determined the degree of damage to the human body.
When these complex mechanical formulas were calculated, even ballistic experts would not necessarily dare to conclude whether they would be injured or fatal. The most intuitive was to use a "human" test.
In fact, if the test process was not too violent, and the testers were worried that the bullets would mistakenly enter the unprotected area in front of the helmet, the Master Metal Expert would be tested wearing armor. In addition, it was more scientific to use a dummy for testing. With the physical fitness of the Master Metal Expert, even if he did not wear a protective suit, he would be able to withstand two shots without batting an eyelid.
Five minutes later, the test dummy wearing ghost synthetic fiber armor was placed at the end of the shooting gallery.
All the guests wore noise-canceling headphones, and their eyes were wide open.
Especially the guests and reporters on Hua Xia's side, they felt that their blood was about to start boiling.
Why didn't Hua Xia ban the sale of bulletproof vests? Even the top 4 composite ceramic bulletproof inserts could be bought in large quantities?
This was because Hua Xia was one of the countries with the strictest gun ban in the world. Many young people had lived for ten or twenty years and had not even heard a gunshot. Buying bulletproof vests was just a matter of time. If they had the luck of being shot, they might as well buy a lottery ticket.
In the United States, since the world-shocking 1997 North Hollywood Bank Robbery, heavy bulletproof vests had become a strictly controlled item. It was illegal for ordinary citizens to possess them.
Now that there was a pile of heavy firepower and high-tech armor, the guests were of course excited.
Under the gaze of thousands of guests and many high-definition cameras, the weapons tester in white overalls picked up a Glock 18 fully automatic pistol from the weapons rack.
The Glock 18 had a continuous firing function and an extended magazine with a capacity of 31 rounds. It was the veritable king of handguns.
"The shooting test is about to begin. This time, we will use a 567 Joule Labellum pistol bullet."
The tester smiled at the guests through the headset and then stood in front of the shooting platform.
When the electronic beep sounded, the tester didn't hesitate. He didn't even make the necessary aiming motion. He just raised the gun with both hands and fired with a loud bang.
The audience was a little stunned because after the gunshot, 20 meters away, the dummy in ghost armor did not move at all. There was no smoke or dust, and there was no reaction on the bullet buffer wall behind it.
Did it miss?
Or was it a blank round?
The tester put the weapon on the design table with a confident smile.
Soon, several high-speed cameras set up in front of the ghost armor gave the answer.
Under the slow-motion speed of a thousand times, all the guests and all the audience in the live broadcast room saw the most shocking scene.
The copper-coated lead-core bullet, which could fly 390 meters per second, rotated straight in mid-air. When it hit the heart of the ghost armor, it was like a piece of plasticine hitting a human body.
The strips of bionic muscle material on the ghost armor were slightly deformed at the moment of direct hit by the bullet. It was like a quiet water surface that was gently touched by a finger and a circle of ripples spread out.
The copper-coated lead-core bullet had no dignity of a bullet at all. It collapsed into a lead cake at the moment of impact and then bounced out...
After the shooting, there was only a dark brown mark on the heart of the ghost synthetic fiber armor. There was no damage, which was the result of the sputtering of the lead material of the bullet.
"Ah..."
The guests on the Hua Xia side reacted well, but the representatives from 50 countries had already stood up subconsciously.
Their eyes were full of horror, especially the U.S. representative Amos who had sneaked in. It seemed that the bullet just now did not hit the ghost armor but hit his heart.
"The continuous shooting test is about to begin. This shooting uses a 567 Joule Labellum pistol bullet. All representatives, please sit back in your seats and keep quiet."
With a beep, an electronic beep sounded. The tester from the North Mountain Light Infantry, who had tested countless kinds of weapons, easily adjusted the weapon in his hand to continuous fire mode.
"Da Da Da Da Da ~"
The loud sound of frying beans roared in the test site. The copper-coated bullet case was jumping rapidly, and the 9mm barrel was continuously spewing gunpowder smoke and fire.
At this moment, the guests could finally see the ghost synthetic fiber armor trembling.
Unfortunately, the tremor was very small.
It was like...
It was like a man who habitually shivered after going to the bathroom.
After 1.5 seconds, the weapon tester put the weapon back again.
Five seconds later, the high-speed camera imported the shooting footage captured on the multiple large screens installed above the guest seats.
There were a total of 30 bullets, and each bullet accurately hit the chest and abdomen of the ghost armor.
Every bullet was deformed at the moment of impact.
Ripples spread out from the bionic muscle fibers on the Ghost Armor. These ripples spread out rapidly, quickly forming dimples, and then quickly disappearing.
After the bullet was bounced a short distance, it fell to the ground powerlessly.
