Amazing, the guy who invented what they're using prefers DragonSkin!

I never understood why they made that decision. I saw a good review of the armor on "Future Weapons" I'd love to get my hand on a few of those.

The company is not in with the military complex. Plus Interceptor can handle anything Iraqis can throw at our soldiers.

Nailed it. That's most likely why.

That and interceptor costs $1,100 while a similar dragon skin costs $5,200. Apparently they value soldiers lives somewhere between that amount.

Well dragon skin was rejected in earlier trials because the discs would shift around a bit and in some cases would no longer overlap other discs. This created a small opening for a rifle round to cut clean through the soft armor and miss the disks entirely. However, I believe that Pinnacle has since fixed the design.
