I’ve seen so many seemingly normal adults turn into squealing kids just at the mention of Pokémon.

Fucking pathetic

@UrstMcRedHead it was adopted, but soldiers unversally booed it

So in practice it never appeared anywhere, you are correct

I never said those those suits didn't exist.

Primarily because US troops are in some sizzling climate warzones and those layers won't do you any good if you already are near a heat stroke

Who the fuck is what in that title.

"Gunner's safety suit"

Some witch

Good idea on paper, not so much in the field

Bomb suits are cute

Not a good Idea on paper..
Because the only usage case for those is protection from slow shrapnel.

There is also a secondary "collar" that goes over that suit

Which is why they only got used for EOD

For extra shrapnel deceleration

@UrstMcRedHead they can stop pistol rounds too

Yes....
Because Level3 soft pads are easy to make

Back to my last point though @Uksio
Those only saw use with EOD, and it was limited because having that much protection against things that are slower than rifle bullets will slow you down, and make you useless.'

Or give you a heatstroke

or both

A periscopic gun control is a better option anyway

You don't expose any soldiers and pew pew pew 360° around the car

Until he has to leave the car.

which soldiers tend to have to do.

Also reloading tends to suck, along with visibility.

lol it looks like a friggin spacesuit

We have ballistic goggles that are a hell of a lot smaller than that..

@UrstMcRedHead reloading is not hard, there is a smaller roof hatch to poke your hands through and swap the box

Watch that 25minute video.

that visor is inch thick

Ballistic goggles don't really compare

They won't fog up like that.

Also what's the source on the getty images link?
