look into kryon armor plates. competitor to kevlar... but can stop a .50 cal at 20 yards where the kevlar doesn’t slow it down
EXACTLY what our boys need. cheaper. lighter. a process that allows other materials the same capabilities (think tanks and humvees with similar stopping power)
kevlar has the political connections and kept kryon (from bork industries) from getting a finalized contract.
many products shipped... but kevlar is protected.
Never heard of Kryon armor.
Anything that would stop a .50 cal would have to take all that energy and the impact alone would probably destroy all bones and organs within a 12” or greater radius - I’d think.........
