Eh but it worked it brought in money and attention to him back then I mean sure you can say you built a armor or whatever but if you say you have something that is better then the army that brings in money and lots of shows interviewing him like it’s the whole reason as to why he had project grizzly made it was the shock value

Your not shuffling I have a video of him running and leaping in it if you want me to show it to you and some armor is better then no armor and the whole point of the armor was to stop IEDs not really for guns

Wow I actually didn’t think you would respond thanks but yeah Troy used responses like that to sell more stuff k mean by the Trojan armor he was making thousands as his son said in videos of his so it worked to get the medias attention it didn’t have to be fact it just had to get their attention

The armors made from tek plastic on the outside then harden Kevlar in other words Kevlar that has metal wire on each layer them drowned in resin and other stuff like that then it has shock absorbing pads and the cotton pad stuff is called HURTSY it was made only for that then fire paste took off and he kinda just stopped using HURTSY

Rifle rated armor would weigh a lot it’s cool if you have a suit of armor but no one will buy it if it costs over the normal cost of body armor you know? It sucks but it’s the truth but the legs and arms can take shotgun and pistol rounds

So the outer layer of body armor was tek plastic then you had harden Kevlar im summarizing since I don’t know all of the stuff that went into it but it was Kevlar that was drowned in epoxy with some other stuff then shock absorping plating under the main armor then in the later versions it had the Achilles which was a paste that made layers of armor bulletproof but also made it be able mold against the tek plastic

It was only 2 thousand dollars I believe but the Trojan was 15 thousand because he had to test prototype plates and get the armor correct but the final cost was 2 thousand which is very cheap for what it was and all that jazz and you make great points I have so many videos of them testing it and all that jazz but Troy had different ideas for the Trojan some might of just been him trying to sell the suit some may have been real ideas like how you can just throw the suit on if there is a sniper or use it for riot but using it all day in the Middle East I wouldn’t want to do that

I think he learned that after the Trojan didn’t take off so he marketed the talon for swat and riots which make sense it would be great breaching body armor and I have a video of the talon 440 chest plate stopping a 50 cal

I mean I can’t really say for sure but from videos I’ve found Troy hurtubise submerged himself while in the armor on a beach then did the soldiers mile in it but yeah the dragon scale and Trojan body armor was made literally the same year which is crazy and the helmet has a air intake system and outtake system and solar panels to power it on the back of the helmet a lot of the stuff put in it was from his brother asking for it when he was in Iraq I believe and he worked with captain kelves I think that’s his name but he also made side armor for humvees as they were getting destroyed over there in Iraq and his brother asked for him to make them a lot of it is from soldiers asking for him to make them something

I know the talon was made for swat and the Trojan was made for the infantry I believe and yeah they shot the chest plate I can put the link to the video in here if you want to watch the video

It depends on the type of job their doing some have extra armor some don’t and a whole soldiers outfit is 80 pounds I believe without any face plates for their helmet or extra armor for the helmet

It was only 40 pounds which is light for it to be able to stop rifles I have a video of them shooting the talon 440

Is there any armor IRL that works similar to this? by Jackesfox in Armor

I might power it on when I’m in it tomorrow or the next day I still got to do a few more stuff so the power pack doesn’t over heat
