1. There's definitely more to this story than meets the eye, particularly the notion of body armor contracts being awarded based on political connections.
2. There's definitely been some fibbing on both sides: Pinnacle on their claims of certification, and the Pentagon on their rigged-ass tests that un-qualifies what the Army doesn't want even if it's the better system. They've been doing that for ages and ages. That's why we're still burdened with the AR15 platform, the 5.56mm round, and whole bunch of other gear that doesn't measure up. The military junkyard is filled with cast off crap that the Army just had to have.
3. Pentagon's fibbing aside, Interceptor is still pretty dang good.
4. Pinnacle's fibbing aside, Dragon Skin blows Interceptor away.
5. No armor is guaranteed to save a warrior.
6. I really want some Dragon Skin armor with pauldrons. I hope Tactical Santa brings me some for Hanuramakwanzmas, because I sure don't wanna pay for it.
