"kybob" and "jack21" - The armor you saw was not "NEW" - it's the "Interceptor" Ceradyne armor the troops wore in theater in Iraq and in Afghan. How many rounds does that armor stop before failing ?

You saw part of an interview video of a soldier who survived a single sniper round while being filmed by the insurgents in the 2006-7 timeframe. Not so sure it was .50 cal bullet or what distance it traveled.

Great story and very happy for him and his family.

Here is how incredible the men and women who serve our country are: The sniper was caught in a few minutes, shot and badly wounded. The very same soldier you see in the video that the sniper shot - is a medic - and that soldier used his tax-payer funded training to stabilize the sniper that just shot him and saved his life.

There is an episode on April 1 that shows the Army is testing an inflatable armor. That looks interesting.
