[gameprogrammer] Re: fluid body armor

I remember about a decade ago, they were investigating the composition of
spider webs in order to build a better shock absorption system in body ar=
mor
as well as for nets and such.
All of these ideas are getting creative stories, game features rolling in=
 my
mind.  Too bad I'm at work, lol.

Thanks,
Jason.

Maybe the idea is that liquids modifies projectile trajectory. Some
specially dense fluid might almost stop a bullet. Well, maybe Im wrong.
Anyway, I prefer a more traditional armor.
