Have you ever thought our armor was a little bit on the flimsy side? Just does not have the effect you want. And what happens if a cop goes nuts at seeing an armored guy with a gun and does not know what halo is? Well we have the solution we have project armor....
Now keep in mind this is really just a test for fun DO NOT TEST ARMOR BY SHOOTING IT WHEN SOME HAS IT ON!!! As I get on some strange projects from time to time. ALSO DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME UNLESS YOU ARE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A TRAINED PROFECINAL!!!
For this test I will be starting out with an ODST chest plate and if all goes will I plan to do a whole suit. The first shot is made with just smooth cast onyx with (MWNT) Multi Walled carbon nano tubes. It was able to deflect a 22LR HV round with little effort but I did not want to destroy the chest plate so I stopped there as going form 22LR HV to 9mm 115 grain 1300fps per second is a little bit of a jump.
Before
After
As you can see it made a small pucker in the center of the chest it’s about a dimes thickness deep.
Now on to stage 2 - Bringing in the big dogs
Next step I ordered in Kevlar, carbon fiber, and laminating epoxy and of course MWNT's.
First I started out with onyx and MWNT's to get the basic shape which was in error later on. Then I put down two layers of carbon fiber with epoxy mixed with MWNT's then 4 layers of Kevlar with MWNT epoxy, then another layer of carbon fiber with MWNT epoxy. At this point it was less then the carbon fiber and Kevlar was less then 5/32" thick. Then I put down a layer of onyx with chopped Kevlar and carbon fiber mix in. There was about 5 ounces of onyx used in the back. Now in hind sight I should have put down a layer of carbon fiber first before the onyx and one after the backing to keep it from cracking out. But this was also a small scale test.
Enjoy the show...
