Idea for assault class improvement

:guns: :guns: This armor is some nifty stuff and I think that it would put assault class back in the game.

That stuff would be great to paint on the canvas tarp on the back of the jeeps and humvees. Use it on your car.

Ouch, poor guy. Hope this liquid kevlar is mass produced soon.

As for the assault class, it doesn't need better body armor, it needs new toys: like a better sidearm or scope on the G3.

Re: Idea for assault class improvement

yea, this has been in development for awhile. it could be used for all sorts of things like bomb-defusal tents, avionics, etc. always made you look at cornstarch and water in a different light huh

Pretty amazing.
It would be interesting to know if the company that will produce those suits will also produce ammunition

Re: Idea for assault class improvement

Does it go back to its original state after it has been hit with something i.e you shoot a 9mm at it.

The bullet impacts, the kevlar goes rigid, you are saved.

But does it become fluid again?

I sort of get this funny picture of US soldiers getting hit and all of sudden they just lock up and fall over...

I tried to see in the video if it maintained rigidity or not...I couldn't tell.

The material returns to its liquid form, but that comment had me picturing some funny things.

lol would help reduce friendly fire casualties

Re: Idea for assault class improvement

give assault more sprint
or
more smoke grenades
or
a distance armed powerful grenade launcher
or
an M16 with G36e accuracy
or all of the above :)

Alternatively don't make any changes to the existing kit and simply give assault a portable stinger
The latter is obviously never going to happen sadly but knowing DICE, the former is not very likely either

That armour sounds cool though - mental image of a rigid Poppinfresh!

Re: Idea for assault class improvement

Even if it didn't become liquid again, the soldier would be a lot more mobile then if the bullet had penetrated!!!

It would look something like this (watch the whole thing, not just the beginning):laugh:

that vid is awesome, good find

Re: Idea for assault class improvement

I'd like to see the liquid armor deny some rifle rounds next time, a pistol stopper is just not good enough for military service.
