There is a new type of bulletproof armor that can withstand a grenade at point blank range!
The vest is made up of silicon carbide ceramic matrices and laminates, in other words, a very strong material. You may be thinking to yourself that it is impossible for something to withstand a grenade explosion at point blank range, well you would be wrong.
The armor is designed with two-inch-wide circular discs that overlap. These multiple overlapping discs absorb any sort of damage evenly. To prove how strong Dragon Skin was, many television shows on the History Channel have used it in demonstrations through a variety of tests. Some of these tests include firing multiple assault rifles at the armor, even with steel piercing rounds! Although the vest was slightly damage, no bullets were able to penetrate the armor!
