A modern crupellarius?

[Matt Lukes]

This guy's great- I've seen video of his various tests with the Ursa anti-bear suit and they're hysterical. This thing is a natural progression- loony, yes, but not surprising in the least. I'd be curious about its efficacy though- looks hot, ceramic protects from bullets by breaking, so the suit would have to have LOTS of replacable panels, and the idea that it could be mass-produced for $2000 each is pretty unlikely given the cost of military equipment these days- I think the SAPI plates in modern body armor are at least that much for just a pair. It would be pretty sweet to see this kind of thing work though- suddenly all those morons all over the world with more AK47s than brain cells rendered ineffective in an instant- although they'd just switch to RPGs, which are hardly in short supply...
