Once again the US Army proves that it can care less about the safety of our men and women in uniform. Dragon Body Armor has been tested by the FBI, CIA, many police forces and everyone in the world agrees that it is the best, except of course the US Army. In a test for the History Channel's military show, "Mail Call", the vest repelled nine rounds of pointed steel ammunition from an AK-47 and 35 rounds of 9 mm, all fired into a 10-by-12-inch configuration on the vest. In "Test Lab", also on the History Channel, the vest withstood a total of 120 rounds, fired from both an AK-47 (7.62 × 39 mm) and MP5 (9 x 19 mm). In another demonstration on the Discovery Channel series "Future Weapons", a Dragon Skin vest withstood numerous rounds from an AK-47, an MP5, and an M4 carbine (5.56 x 45 mm), and a point-blank detonation of an M67 grenade. While the vest was heavily damaged (mainly by the grenade), there was no penetration of the actual armor. On December 7, 2006 a demonstrational shoot for the following departments took place on a 10" x 12" SOV-2000 Level III panel: Saint Charles Parish Sheriff's SWAT, Saint John's Parish Sheriff's SWAT, Gretna PD, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's SWAT, LaCruz Parish Sheriff's SWAT, Ascension Parish Sheriff's SWAT, Coast Guard Investigative Services, US Navy. A total of 17 rounds was fired into the panel without penetration. * 3 @ 7.62x51mm Federal Match * 3 @ 7.62x39mm Military Ball * 3 @ 5.56x45mm M193 Ball * 3 @ 5.56x45mm M193 Ball at 45 degrees * 2 @ 5.56x45mm M855 Green Tip * 2 @ 5.56x45mm Bonded M193 * 1 @ 7.62x51mm Federal Bonded So why does the Army refuse military men and women to wear this? Even if they purchase it themselves?

yea U.K. is the most powerful country in the world... in the world of never never land

Actually, i believe Russia's currently the most powerful country in the world, now that they have money again, Israel would be the most powerful if they where bigger and had a large population, and I'm American. Its common knowledge that the us army would pick cheaper over efficacy, they did it in ww2, they'll do it today.

first of all medical marijuana has nothing to do with the justice department and until september 11th everyones airports in the world had the same security and medical marijuana has nothing to do with the trade towers going down

I think it's shameful the justice department would waste money going after medical marijuana while the rest of the world is falling apart. If they had been doing what we pay them to do then maybe we'd still have a World Trade Centre. I mean you

This is the most bias piece of shit report ive ever heard- DS melted in avg vehicle heat in iraq, leaving the upper torso exposed. DS doesnt work if it is dropped on the ground DS is significantly heavier than the interceptor plates DS has shown to be very delicate, falling apart after normal use (testimony from contractors) It pretty much does not work unless it is fresh off the line and fired at in an air-conditioned gun range. IT FAILED ARMY TESTS..
