but why the clock at the crotch?  kind of makes it hard to read, don't you think?

I guess when someone asks him the time, he can honestly reply, "half past the iron man's arse and a quarter to his balls."

Apparently the military's getting a really interesting powered armor suit, just like out of Starship Troopers (the book, not the movie).  I don't know how reliable the rumor is, but it's supposed to be made of synthetic spider silk fiber blah blah blah and be put into production in two or three years.

I can't find a link within a few minutes of searching, but I did find this.  http://www.darpa.mil/dso/thrust/matdev/ehpa.htm

They're going to need a heck of alot of silk to stop a bullet.

That's it!


( M.A.N.T.I.S. was a top shelf guess as well but The Guyver was the exact one I was thinking of  )

Not as much as you think.  Spider Webbing has some of the best strength out of any material made, not to mention how light it is.

here's a video of an interview with that maker.

Looks like great (shiny) camo. Bet you can't see it from more than three miles away.

That's why you need a squire.

Well there is probably an eyepeice that fits over the left eye that shows pron movies.

Or maybe he figures we can just start feeding soldiers a steady diet of Viagra

The armor looks EXACTLY like that of "light infantry" in Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun.

[sNiPeR]

a Barrett 50 cal most likely rip through that easily or most high power rifles

he kinda looks like that cat from the Halo game

[betty]
