#1 This stuff is truly amazing.

My prediction with the X-25 being deployed along with smart rounds that destroy the notion of cover, light armor like this will be needed and soon power armor will come into being.

The battlefield is just getting too deadly for unarmored men to last very long so the old arms race between attack and defense continues.
