Hello guys...i was watching the history channel and i only got a peice of it...but anyway is it true that the armour that guys use in iraq are top secret to the enemy? They reffered to it as dragon skin because of the way it was designed, they said that some guys dident even know they were being hit because the material obsorbed the bullets....thats just one type...the other type i already knew of and that was the steal plate which was surrounded by kevlar to obsorve the hit...thanx guys

I don't know what your talking about, but there is something freaky I heard about. My uncle told me he was watching the discovery channel or somethin, and he said that 'they' have this new type of Armor that is liquid. It senses the airwaves between you and the bullet, and hardens like steel before it hits, and loosens up after it has been deflected. Now, that is too strange for me to believe w/out seeing it, but that'll be some bad @ss **** if we do get it.
