Give the Ghosts some level IV armor and we'll be set. I've heard some amazing stories of the stopping power in CQC.

There was a shock plate in that vest he was wearing. There is a pic of him holding the plate to his chest. Do a bit of research before sticking foot in mouth.

WhiteKnight, there's something I read about a while back and before I go searching all over the place for it, I was wondering if you'd know what I’m talking about.

It's still in experimental stages right now... hell, I cant really remember, it may still be “theoreticalâ€Â�. Its flexible body armor that’s made of a thin “gel-likeâ€Â� material. Like liquid-glass particles or something. Supposedly, it’s flexible until its hit w/ great force and then it instantly hardens. They say it can stop knives, bullets, shrapnel…

You know what I’m talking about?

Another 'wannabe'. Can't wait for the military guys here pick you to shreds.

So do you keep track of all of the guys you have "busted" over the years? J/K

BTW, that guy looks like he was punched in the chest by a powerlifter. I was looking at a vest with a plate that can stop a .308 and the price was $659. No Kevlar, only some velcro straps to hold the plate in place. Too much for something that I would never really need. Or would I?

Shear thickening fluid. It's not armor itself but it's soaked and then held in fabric. I don't know if it's still on the table as a possibility. The last I saw of it was about 3 years ago.
