Oh shit, I remember seeing videos of his original suit, and it was able to survive a bear attack. I can't recall what it was made out of, but this version of his suit is 10x more badass than before. I can't believe I'm seeing this again, it's been a while. | |

Honestly, I don't see this being used by the military cause they usually don't like spending much of any money.

If he toned it down, and got rid of the unnecessary Sci-Fi appearance, I can really see something like that being used.
AMP is right though, the military has already turned down similar items since the cost would be phenomenal if every soldier were to wear one. Perhaps if it was only for certain troops and certain circumstances?

I've seen quite a few things in both weaponry and protection considered the next generation of combat. The reality is that in order for it to be even considered as a viable option in the military it has to be a step forward and also cost efficient to say the least.
