Dragon Skin Body Armor

Filed under: Design, Wearables

One thing most of us can agree on is that our troops overseas deserve only the finest body armor available. Their lives are at jeopardy in order to protect our freedoms, so we’d like to see everyone return home safe and sound. Soldiers could really use some of this Dragon Kin body armor from Pinnacle Armor. You can detonate an M67 grenade in point blank range and it won’t penetrate through the materials. It’s flexible so you can easily move around, which is essential during a fire fight. AK-47, M4 and MP5 rifles have also been tested on it with fantastic results. Hopefully, we’ll soon see US troops wearing the Dragon Skin standard. In the meantime, looks like they’ll have to order some BUILT backpacks and double up on those.

Dewalt M-16 Will Fuck You Up

Filed under: DIYs, Design, Hacks, Hardware

A guy named Dave Wiggins had a spare M-16 lying around his house. As odd as we may find that, he was certainly able to perform an awesome looking mod on it. Seems Dave went a few miles down his block to the Dewalt factory, where he purchased a sticker kit and various parts. After some Dremel action, he wound up with an M-16 that resembles a yellowjacket. The yellow plastic combined with the gunmetal really makes for a gorgeous weapon.
