You look at that, and you might think it's some sort of killer robot or
one of the Starship Troopers coming at you. :-D

Interesting... but you'd hope that an inventor would think twice before
calling his body armor "the Trojan" ("available in two sizes... Extra
Large and Texan!")

Apparently the helmet is air conditioned or at least ventilated, by a
solar-powered fan; but that thing looks mighty warm to wear.
Still, if I was in the vicinity of an exploding IED, that's exactly what
I'd want to be wearing.

punishment one design can take.

Seriously, this guy has an assload of practical experience building
armored suits. I'd really like to give that a try.

Plus I want a Covenant plasma pistol and an M6D.


I liked how your pistols attached to the suit via magnets.
One big problem might be if you fall down, can you get back up?
He might have just reinvented medieval plate armor with all of its
drawbacks.
There you are in your great bulletproof armor...flat on your back, and
that's when the enemy arrives...with a cordless drill. :-)

Wait a few years and Rheinmetall AG will provide their plasma rifle
they are working on. Right now, Rheinmetall WM has the plasma taser
with the West Phalia police.
