most of our troops wear the "interceptor body armor"
whereas there is a new body armor called "dragon skin"
not only does the new armor stop the usual armor pierceing rounds but it also stops a 7.62 steel core round not to mention take on a point blank frag grenade

granted the blunt force from the frag might kill the guy but not a peice of the armor is penetrated all the way through


and yet the united states military say no to it
what i'd like to know is why they said no

it's flexible not as heavy as interceptor
it stops practically almost every bullet most people can get
their hands on
