Bullet-Proof Bras Being Issued to German Policewomen

Policewomen in Germany are getting another layer of protection thanks to a new bra that has been secretly tested for the last two months. I never thought about it before but it makes sense that a woman could still sustain life-threatening injuries when shot wearing a standard bullet-proof vest. Traditional bras can have metallic or…

Defender Hoodie: Look Good, Avoid Bullets

Knife-proof, machine-washable T-shirt not enough protection for you out there on the mean streets? Bulletproof backpack insert just won’t cover enough of your nice, lead-free body?

Are Bulletproof USB Thumb Drives Actually Bulletproof?

Finnish computer-magazine Tietokone aims to find out. Most fail at small handguns, but Pretec’s round drive actually shrugged off a .357 Magnum with no problems. It got dented with a .44, but totally disintegrated when they shot a .500 at it. That’s probably as strong as you’re gonna get with a “bulletproof” thumb drive, so…

Dragon Skin Bulletproof Vest Repels AK-47 Rounds

These bulletproof vests are the first to stop armor piercing rounds without using some bulky plate. They work better than traditional shit beat cops use because the fibers are woven tighter; and they’re woven in a way that actually tightens up the weave upon impact by bullet or blade.
