.50 proof iphone 4 case. - General

Shame it isn't rock proof. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLpjPMQ1mW8&feature=g-u-u[/media]

That's pretty cool, but are people scared someone is going to shoot their phone? Also I like this guy, he's like FPSRussia but not a pretentious fucktard

So if there's a sniper i just flail my iPhone in front of my face and i'll be safe

Its $600 dollars dude, learn to read the yen sign. Its not even 54000 yen, where did you get 54000 from?

Kinda weird he said the price in yen but not that it's only $650 usd

Did anyone else think space marine armour when they saw that impact mark? I've been reading too many 40k books...

[QUOTE=Tacooo;37870438]That's pretty cool, but are people scared someone is going to shoot their phone? Also I like this guy, he's like FPSRussia but not a pretentious fucktard[/QUOTE] Some soldiers use such things.

Way to mislead the price on that thing.

[QUOTE=Dantai;37870752]Kinda weird he said the price in yen but not that it's only $650 usd[/QUOTE] The site that it's sold on uses Yen currency, it's a Japanese company.

hey guys looks at my new iph- HAH MOTHERFUCKER BLOCKED IT

Why can't we make armor out of it?

This guy reminds me of the other slow mo guy on youtube called destin something or other ; really informative, yet a really sweet, awesome guy.

I can just see the new slogan for this company... "Stops the bullet, but an iPhone can't handle the impact on the ground anyway so why bother" :v:

Why does he have a sidearm on his pants?

[QUOTE=DrLuckyLuke;37875189]Why does he have a sidearm on his pants?[/QUOTE] Because he wanted to.

[QUOTE=DrLuckyLuke;37875189]Why does he have a sidearm on his pants?[/QUOTE] In case that bitch ass iphone tried to pull any shit

[QUOTE=rrunyan;37873981]Why can't we make armor out of it?[/QUOTE] It is Armor and this technology is with current and past innovations in body and vehicle Armor. The case is the same thing as actual body Armor but in a form of a case.

[QUOTE=rrunyan;37873981]Why can't we make armor out of it?[/QUOTE] He said the phone case in his hand was 5lb, making a vest out of that would come close to 60-80lbs and it is a solid material unlike kevlar, so there would be little to no movability.

Nuke proof please

[QUOTE=rrunyan;37873981]Why can't we make armor out of it?[/QUOTE] Because people aren't lightweight. The case "stopped" the bullet because it was light weight enough to just be thrown back instead of penetrated by the bullet. If the phone was being held tightly in place or was put in front of a solid wall, the bullet would have gone through. Same with a human being, we're way too heavy to be able to just let ourselves be thrown backward by the impact instead of letting it penetrate. Which is why modern body armor is layers of material instead of solid metal plates everywhere. If a bullet hits a metal plate that has nothing supporting it, the metal will just fly back and probably won't be penetrated. But if you put that metal plate on a human being, it won't be able to absorb that energy and the bullet will tear right through. Modern body armor is designed to give way as it is struck, allowing the kinetic energy of the round to be gradually absorbed rather than all at once like it would be if it was just solid metal plates.

It's not meant for penetration, it's made fore accuracy. The thing practically shattered on contact. Oh and apparently half of you haven't heard of Armour inserts, pretty much rigid ceramic composite or lumps of metal.

Those ceramic inserts are just a layer, they rarely stop the rounds outright, their purpose is to remove a lot of energy from the round before it hits kevlar. FMJ rounds rip through kevlar alone but ceramic plates do a good job at weakening the round considerably. Ceramic plates themselves are composed of layers, they aren't a solid mass of material. Even with the bullet shattering I am still willing to bet it would have gotten through if the case was being held in place.

It might stop a bullet from penetrating, but it doesn't stop the force of the bullet a shitty little 9mm packs a punch of about a 10lb weight being dropped from an inch high Imagine a .50

ahahahaha holy shit I saw that coming "IT STOPPED A BULLET BUT THE SCREEN IS CRACKED"

Hey! You! Check out this brand new BULLETPROOF iPhone case! Tested with a .50 Cal!* *[b]Is NOT rock proof.[/b]

[QUOTE=NoobieWafer223;37883307]Hey! You! Check out this brand new BULLETPROOF iPhone case! Tested with a .50 Cal!* *[b]Is NOT rock proof.[/b][/QUOTE] It is rock proof. iPhone isn't though.

Right... so costs roughly same amount as a new iphone. Of course this is novelty but found it funny neverless.
