Has anyone considered how suspicious this is? Make armor that's bulletproof? Perhaps we should keep this idea more private so it doesn't become misinterpreted or fall I to the wrong hands.
and a segmented skirt in the rear to protect the back of the neck down to the collar of the armor. The best way I could describe it is more akin to a samurai helmet, but with the rear made of overlapping kevlar sheets.

My question is Why in the world would you guys want to make a bullet proof costume?, you can barely move around in a Spartan costume as it is, I would leave bullet proof suit making to the proffesionals that have proper ways of tesing the armor out with diffrent calibers of amunition
Why? I am on the government's radar from my time in the military. As for making a better bulletproof armor, I have been doing this since I was an armorer in the Army. I had the support of my commander and still do. To the point of, he has let me know that he will let me on range when the snipers are qualifying and let them crack off a few shots at my finished product. If it can stand up to an armor-piercing .50 sliber sniper round, it can stand up to anything.Has anyone considered how suspicious this is? Make armor that's bulletproof?

The shroud on the back of the helmet, it will help to deflect the bullet away from the central portion of the neck. You'd be surprised how many injuries come from soldiers who are hit on the neck by shrapnel or get the random casing down the back of the neck. I have a couple of scars from the shells that just cooked off a round and cooled against my skin.if you have a kevlar vest. your still going to get bruised ribs. all kevlar will do is stop the bullet from going through your neck. instead if will spread the force of impact and shatter you spine, killing you in a very painful way or if you live, turning you into a paraplegic.
all in all, this site if for making props, not fully functioning battle armor. just saying.
Actually, we are here as prop builders and costumers. As Demo084 states, some ideas come from the most unlikely sources.My question is Why in the world would you guys want to make a bullet proof costume?, you can barely move around in a Spartan costume as it is, I would leave bullet proof suit making to the proffesionals that have proper ways of tesing the armor out with diffrent calibers of amunition
No, no, you are 100% correct. It is the moral implications that I was looking at, too. Believe me, I think nothing is more moral than helping to save the lives of troops in combat, police on the street, and others who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. You are entirely correct in your suspicions about our motives.I'm sorry, I was just stating my opinion, and never meant to "bash" any ideas. I merely, wanted to stimulate thought about the moral implications of this idea. [Sarcasm at 0%]

Let me assure that my motives for this project are true. I served for 9 years and was in Iraq, Ashcanistan, and a couple of other hot spots. I got blown up, shot a couple of times (they itch more than hurt). Had I the armor that I am designing, I wouldn't need the replacement knee that I have not have the pain in the hip when it storms where the bullet hit me.

This idea is more than just being the first to design something, it is to help others to keep them from some of the problems that I have myself. So, you are right to question my motives. In this era, it is only safe. However, my motives are truly for the better.
