Chapter 818: Let's Test It Yourself
Amos is a director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Bioenergy Materials Lab.
It is precisely because he is an expert that Amos can see how much the material in front of him violates the scientific theory of biomaterials that he knows.
A piece of full-body armor is 2.2 kilograms, and it is also a piece of armor with an impact-resistant metal defense device embedded inside.
This kind of weight can be called bulletproof armor?
Amos is not uninvolved in the research of special materials, he also knows that the Interceptor body armor prepared by their army on a large scale weighs 3.8 kilograms of soft bulletproof vests alone. And this kind of soft vest, when encountering the enemy on the battlefield, usually after eating an assault rifle bullet, is lucky to break two ribs, and bad luck, the broken ribs pierce the internal organs, and they are useless if they do not die.
Therefore, this set of interceptor body armor must be used with SAPI bulletproof inserts.
With the addition of bulletproof inserts, even if the soldiers were fired at close range by the assault rifle, they would only grit their teeth in pain at most, and they would not be able to move for a second or two. Even if you are unfortunate enough to be swept by a point shot, you can turn into a hero again after a minute or two, and take up arms to join the fight.
This, of course, is based on the fact that a bullet hits a bullet on a bulletproof insert. As long as it is not hit in the front chest and abdomen equipped with bulletproof inserts, the outcome is mostly miserable.
In particular, there are several battlefields where their army is now fighting a law and order war, where the enemy loves to use AKs, and the Russians like to sell old arms stockpiles all over the world, so that the streets of those countries are full of 7.62mm M43 copper-clad steel core bullets. This bullet is lighter than lead bullet, has a higher muzzle velocity and is more penetrating.
Soldiers often hide behind common cover, such as civilian cars, and copper-clad steel core bullets can easily penetrate the car, knocking a large hole in the soldier's leg or arm.
As the saying goes, it is better to die than to live, and with the interceptor body armor, the soldiers at least have a greatly reduced mortality rate, so that the psychological burden of fighting is smaller, and they dare to fight more with less.
The question is......
An interceptor body armor is 3.8 kilograms, and according to the logistics ration, it needs to be matched with two ceramic bulletproof inserts at the front and rear.
In this way, the total weight of the Interceptor body armor reached 7.4 kilograms.
Now the new generation of interceptors pays special attention to the protection of the important parts of the soldiers, after all, the soldiers would rather break two legs than break them in the middle. Therefore, the new generation of interceptors also provides two small bulletproof insert plates under the pelvis to install them, with a total weight of as much as 8.2 kilograms.
A soldier is also a human being, not a superman. To wear Interceptor body armor, to carry an assault rifle, to carry a large amount of ammunition, to carry a pistol, to carry a helmet, to carry night vision devices, binoculars, to carry a sling carry......
Taken together, this mess resulted in an average march weight of 46 kilograms for the soldiers and an average combat weight of 25 kilograms.
Therefore, in normal combat, soldiers will only wear a bulletproof insert to protect their abdomen, and no one wants to carry a back insert. Because with only one piece, you have to endure more than six kilograms of weight and the inconvenience of not being able to bend freely. With two pieces, it becomes extremely inconvenient to even lie down and prostrate to shoot, and the back plate will often reach the helmet.
What is the experience of wearing this set of 2.2 kilogram full-body bulletproof armor on the body?
Amos maliciously thought that the young president of Behemoth Industries should put it on and stand in the shooting tunnel to be tested by live ammunition.
Anyway, many bosses of special bulletproof material companies like to do this, and the publicity effect is not generally good.
……
Behemoth Industries uses a dummy with sensors all over its body, made of ballistic gel on the outside that closely resembles human muscle tissue, and brittle materials made on the inside that are made in strict accordance with the quality of normal human bones.
The impact force transmitted to the human body, and the area of force, determine the degree of damage to the human body.
These complex mechanical formulas are calculated that even ballistics experts do not necessarily dare to conclude whether they will be injured or fatal. The most intuitive thing is to use "human" experiments.
In fact, if the testing process wasn't too violent, the testers feared that the bullet would accidentally enter the unprotected zone in front of the helmet, and the metal expert would have been tested in armor. In addition, the use of dummy tests is also more scientific, and the physical fitness of metal experts can estimate that even if they do not wear protective clothing and take two shots, they can not change their faces.
Five minutes later, a test dummy, dressed in Ghost Synthetic Fiber armor, was placed at the end of the shooting tunnel.
All the guests wore noise-canceling headphones, and their eyes glared at the boss one by one.
Especially the guests and reporters here in Huaxia felt that their blood was about to boil.
Why doesn't Huaxia ban the buying and selling of body armor? Even the top-of-the-line IV. composite ceramic bulletproof inserts can be bought in a large batch?
Because Huaxia is one of the most stringent countries in the world to ban guns, many young people have lived for a decade or two, and have never even heard a gunshot.
In the United States, since the 1997 bank robbery in Hollywood's North that shocked the world, heavy body armor has become a strictly controlled item, and it is illegal for ordinary citizens to possess it.
Now there was both a bunch of heavy firepower and high-tech armor, and the guests were certainly excited.
Under the attention of thousands of guests, under the shooting of many high-definition cameras, weapons testers in white overalls picked up a Glock 18 automatic pistol from the weapon rack.
The Glock 18 has a burst function and can reach a capacity of 31 rounds with an extended magazine, making it a veritable king of pistols.
"Shooting tests are about to begin, and this time we used 567 joules of Rabellum pistol rounds. ”
The tester smiled at the guests through the headset, and then stood in front of the shooting table.
When the electronic prompt of "Di~" sounded, the tester did not hesitate, and did not even have the necessary aiming action, and directly raised the gun with both hands with a loud "bang~".
The audience was a little stunned, because after the gunshot, twenty meters away, the dummy in ghost armor did not even move, and no smoke and dust came up, and there was no reaction from the bullet buffer wall behind it.
Didn't hit?
Or is it an empty cartridge?
The tester puts the weapon on the design table and smiles confidently.
Soon, several ultra-high-speed cameras set up in front of the ghost's armor gave the answer.
At a thousand-fold slow speed, all the guests and all the viewers in the live broadcast room saw the most shocking scene.
The copper-clad lead-core warhead, which can fly 390 meters per second, rotates straight in mid-air. When it hits the heart of the Spectre Armor, it's like a plasticine hitting a human body.
The bionic muscle materials on the ghost armor were slightly deformed at the moment when the bullet hit the front, like a tranquil surface of water, and when someone lightly tapped it with his finger, it spread out a circle of ripples.
The copper-clad lead core warhead had no dignity of a bullet at all, and it collapsed into a lead cake at the moment of impact, and then it was ejected......
After the shot, the heart of the Spectre's synthetic fiber armor was only a dark brown mark, undamaged, the result of the bullet's lead material splattering up.
"Ah......h
The guests on the Huaxia side reacted well, and the delegates from 50 countries had already subconsciously stood up.
Their eyes were horrified, especially the American representative Amos, who had just been infiltrated, as if the bullet had just hit the ghost armor instead of hitting his armor, but in the heart.
"The continuous firing test is about to begin, and this time the shooting is using a 567 joule Rabellum pistol round, so please sit back in your seats and be quiet. ”
With the sound of an electronic prompt of "Di~", the tester from Beishan Light Soldier, who has tested countless weapons, easily and freely adjusted the weapon in his hand to the burst fire mode.
"Dada~"
The loud sound of fried beans roared at the test site, the copper bullet casings were beating rapidly, and the nine-millimeter caliber barrel was continuously spraying thin smoke and fire.
At this moment, the guests could finally see the ghost's synthetic fiber armor shaking.
Unfortunately, this jitter is very small.
It's like......
It's like the shivering that man habitually hits after going to the bathroom.
One and a half seconds later, the weapons tester returned the weapon again.
Five seconds later, the ultra-high-speed camera imported the captured footage into a large screen mounted above the guest seats.
There were thirty rounds in total, each of which accurately hit the chest and abdomen of the Ghost Armor.
Every bullet is deformed at the moment of impact.
Ripples spread across the bionic muscle fibers on the Ghost Armor, and these shockwave ripples spread rapidly, quickly dimple-like concaves, and then quickly disappear.
The bullet bounced off a short distance and fell to the ground weakly.
On the ghost's armor, there is still only a dark brown hanging lead trace, and there is no damage.
