nodunit 397 Posted January 29, 2015 Not until I see how well it can stand up to bullets of various calibers, shrapnel from grenades, and blades or cushion against blunt instruments. It's a nice trailer and it shows some mobility but it fails to show the other important aspect of armor...PROTECTION. Also are those NVG's and if so why are they portraying a soldier walking around in BROAD DAYLIGHT with NVG's on.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted January 29, 2015 Yes until soldiers will get halo game like body armor , then we can call it a step up Also are those NVG's and if so why are they portraying a soldier walking around in BROAD DAYLIGHT with NVG's on.... Haha , so true almost in all military related trailers they use NVG to show how cool they look with those on , even in daylight :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted January 29, 2015 The whole Trailer, heck the whole armor concept, doesn´t make any damn sense. It looks cool, you are more mobile, but you don´t have the protection you are used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted January 29, 2015 The only valid question regarding exosceletons: DUTY or FREEDOM? :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x3kj 1247 Posted January 29, 2015 so... what... exactly does their armor system better apart from having an exoskeleton, which is pretty much unrelated to armor as i see it... looks like they just want to show how awesome and operator their toy gear is.

chrisb 196 Posted January 29, 2015 The emphasis is on 'bringing them home safe'. Which to me, just seems like propaganda. Appeal to the generation that is growing up invincible in video games, tell them they're going to be the same when they actually join up for real and go and face real danger. That way they'll keep that eternal supply they need of young men & women willing to die, whoops, sorry that's the wrong information getting out, I mean survive with this magic kit. For nothing other than lost causes in many cases, and indeed causes that are manufactured in others.. If those that really believed so strongly in these 'causes', were really that committed, they would be the first out there, showing the way. They never are.. Its a case of 'its great to be a hero', but you go and do it. Or Its 'great to be a martyr', but you go and do it. Lead by example, then others may follow that example. Make one to fit politicians and those with vested interests, you know, weak at the knee's.:mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted January 31, 2015 if the exoskeleton is reliable and can handle several days to weeks w/o re-charging (or with recharge on the move) if it can handle -40 to +70 C degrees if i's water/salt water and soft-sand proof :) if it is EM resistant (you don't want to get stuck in middle of attack) if the frame is shock resistant (cause you don't want stray bullet or fragment to break the frame and crumble poor soldier soldier within by weight) then of course it will be interesting in terms of possibility to wear heavier protective armor, more ammo and equipment soldier should be also more fresh due to less strain and recoil ... what's that ? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
