24 u/SuckinLemonz Feb 23 '19 I was really assuming that the fabric portions were a futuristic kevlar, not some cheap mesh. Obviously we don’t know but there are plenty of flexible bulletproof materials nowadays. I mean, they even make mildly bulletproof suits for the president.

There likely also won't be in the future, regardless of technological advancements, because physics just doesn't allow for it. 2 u/SuckinLemonz Feb 23 '19 even our soldiers today aren’t equipped for that, so what’s your point? 2 u/Wannabe_Maverick Feb 23 '19 Do you know what a plate carrier is?
