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

You don't really ahve that issue

But you need a really

That’d be fucking heavy lmao

REALLY heavy piece of metal

Oh yeah

Which is why you need a Chassis

Could you imagine if the military actually finishes developing the Iron Man armor, fucking a squad sized group could clear whole forces.

I’m not a pro at science, I just remember a lot about energy and playing sports I have experience with feeling how energy transfers. And if a softball fucking hurts I can only imagine the energy from a bullet

Even if we need a energy source

Iron mans energy source is fucked lmao

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.

I repeat myself

I read that

And I responded

Yeah, really Fallout had the right idea with that

A super small nuclear reactor

is really the only energy source viable

Sadly though the smallest reactors are still like

What about submarine batteries?

the size of cars

at least stable ones

Submarine batteries?

Some subs run off batteries and they last months

I thought most modern subs were powered by a reactor

Well my explanation is as simple as I could say it
