Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor

Posted: 12/18/2005 8:04:53 AM EDT

"According to IsraCast, an Israeli company has created materials made of inorganic fullerene-like nanostructures (IFs) which have amazing shock absorbing properties. During preliminary tests, these materials, which are five times stronger than steel, have successfully resisted to steel projectiles generating pressures as high as 250 tons per square centimeter. These materials could be incorporated in "nanoarmors" able to protect soldiers or police forces within three years."

Here comes "buckyarmor"

Except from the description, theirs is made out of incomplete carbon nanotubes- materials normally considered 'junk' by those trying to make CN based fabrics...

It's like daimond, but less rigid. Pure carbon covalently bonded to itself in all directions, except assembled in a structure with enough empty space in it to allow the material to flex. I can't even keep up with all the nanotube applications they're thinking up anymore.

So I guess the Chinese will have this new armor for their troops with in 3 years

This is what the cops will be wearing when they come for your guns.

Which is why we need to start working on a REAL replacement for the M16 family and the 5.56mm cartridge. A rifle that will shoot a projectile that will work on this.

Toys like the 6.8mm cartridge, the G36, the FN-SCAR-even in its 7.62 version- and and fooling with piston uppers for M4s are a waste of time and money.

And the irelevance of conventional small arms starts today.

what round do you need to defeat Nano-Armor?

That Phase Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range is starting to look good

heh...I was going to say .50 cal. If it can 'penetrate tank aromor at a miles range' like the brady bunch like to claim it should be able to defeat this

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought of was "Oh fuck, how am I going to be able to defeat that?"

I was thinking the same thing. Or ready to ask...uh so what did penitrate? I think we need to get the box o truth out.

doesn't matter. You don't have to penetrate the vest, just get a good hit on the persons torso. The momentum of the bullet will be good enough for one of two things, depending on the mass and velocity of the bullet:

1) knock the wind out of them. This option isn't too good
2) cause severe internal bleeding. This option is better, but you still are going to have to wait for for the person to die.

or, as someone said, just aim for the head.

Now, me personally, I cannot wait till these things get on the civie market... that is if they aren't restricted to royalty(LEOs, Military,presidents,etc.)

On a second thought. I really cannot wait for this company to go public. With all the wars going on and stuff, this company is sure to roll in the dough.

Give the USA, some credit. Im going to bet it was nearly funded 100% with our tax dollars as well as a joing project if its real.

ETA: Being this is from Isracast I don't belive it.

if that becomes the case, why do we need guns anymore, since it is obvious that once this shit hits the LEO and military market, there is no fucking way we will ever win a revolution against tyranny?

Something always comes along.....like bootleg armor! Leg the governement pay to find a way around it. They will have to once everyone has it.

Hey, I found a pic of the new armor that is being developed.
