Invention: Bullet Melting Vest

November 30th, 2006

Don’t worry – as I know nothing about chemistry or physics, this explanation will be very simple.

Take your average bullet made out of, say, some kind of metal.  Now, take this vest made from a ‘special’ material that’s chemically-reactive to bullet-metal.  The idea is that once the bullet and the vest come in contact, a very fast chemical reaction takes place that dissolves the bullet.  You know how certain metals explode when they come in contact with water?  Well, this is exactly not like that.  It’s more like if the bullet was made from soft fudge.

I’m not sure what the illustration is for.
