| Army Rejects Dragon Body Armor |
 |
Once again the US Army proves that it can
care less about the safety of our men and
women in uniform. Dragon Body Armor has been
tested by the FBI, CIA, many police forces
and everyone in the world agrees that it is
the best, except of course the US Army.
In a test for the History Channel's military
show, "Mail Call", the vest repelled nine
rounds of pointed steel ammunition from an
AK-47 and 35 rounds of 9 mm, all fired into a
10-by-12-inch configuration on the vest. In
"Test Lab", also on the History Channel, the
vest withstood a total of 120 rounds, fired
from both an AK-47 (7.62 × 39 mm) and MP5 (9
x 19 mm). In another demonstration on the
Discovery Channel series "Future Weapons", a
Dragon Skin vest withstood numerous rounds
from an AK-47, an MP5, and an M4 carbine
(5.56 x 45 mm), and a point-blank detonation
of an M67 grenade. While the vest was heavily
damaged (mainly by the grenade), there was no
penetration of the actual armor.
On December 7, 2006 a demonstrational shoot
for the following departments took place on a
10" x 12" SOV-2000 Level III panel: Saint
Charles Parish Sheriff's SWAT, Saint John's
Parish Sheriff's SWAT, Gretna PD, Jefferson
Parish Sheriff's SWAT, LaCruz Parish
Sheriff's SWAT, Ascension Parish Sheriff's
SWAT, Coast Guard Investigative Services, US
Navy.
A total of 17 rounds was fired into the panel
without penetration.

So why does the Army refuse military men and
women to wear this? Even if they purchase it
themselves?

but somehow ended up for sale on Ebay. It's
