Say you wear an exo skeleton and jump off a 50ft ledge. The exo is still attacked to you

So like in marvel films when captain America was hit on his shield, he was able to absorb the energy, from his super solider strength his bones didn’t break. Yes it’s a movie reference but the science is *kinda* there to why he could wield the shield and no one else could

If you can’t correct my broken English then bye Felicia

I’m on mobile and it keeps auto correcting everything

I’m finally talking legit science and you don’t wanna hear me out Justin

Smh

> finally, ge wizz, the boy who cried wolf much.

Jk

Huh

Yeah, metal isn't the greatest of armor in reference to bullets because of how it acts when impacted, but if there's enough of it in between you and the point of impact the weight of it might just negate that

Bullets yeah, you’d get pinged and pinged maybe lose balance, but still the armor would be so damn heavy

What about a metal layer on the outside , and a soft, tevlar or flak layer on the inside.

If you have a 2 inch thick metal plate fixed to a chassis so it's not pressed against your chest and you get shot there, you should be completely find

unless it's anti-armor

in which case ye fecked regardless

And weight is an issue but chassis fix that

but also chassis like that would require a lot of energy

You’d survive Justin, but you’d be knocked on your ass

and armor like that would be expected to be deployed for days at a time

I don't know, it depends on the weight of the armor

I think the metal would shred the bullet so much, that what's left would not even make it inside of the soft armor, unless it was large like a .50, then idk what you would do.

There’s so many factors it’s makes it so hard to find the solution

Because if it's a thonky boi you'd be fine

The bullet's impact would be completely absorbed by thick metal plating and you wouldn't feel a thing

The metal would take the shock, and the soft would absord the material.

If the armor is attached to you, you’d absorb the energy and depending on what ammunition it is, you might take a couple steps back, fall back, etc

Which is why I said earlier

You’d need grounding points

" fixed to a chassis so it's not pressed against your chest and you get shot there, you should be completely fine"

But the issue that I’m saying is the energy, you can survive now wearing Kevlar but you get the wind knocked out of you, broken ribs etc

What if you have an exoskeleton on the Inside, you would be cased in an exoskeleton on the inside, only connection would be rods so you could control the armor, and the Skeleton would negate the weight of the armor.

Kevlar is extremely different from steel

We’re having problems finding areas to ground the energy, but the only place to ground it is the user it self

GG @Alpaca13, you just advanced to level 34!

Kevlar is rather soft, it's designed to absorb and disperse energy

Steel is just hard

Hmmm

If the weight of the steel is enough to actually absorb the bullet's kinetic energy
