Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
 

Absolutely !!! I saw it with my OWN eyes. We were invited to examine the tanker, both BEFORE and AFTER. I can tell you that it WAS a standard Tanker, and after it was shot to hell, it really didn't leak either.

Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
 

I didn't see the demo but I know the stuff that they spray in the back of trucks readily available to anyone is incredibly tough stuff. I'm pretty confident that with the mix of a few carbon fibers and / or other high tensile-strength materials, it could potentially do something like that.

That's not a big leap at all for me. Hey they make self-sealing tires and explosion-resistant gas tanks so why not?

I want videos. Untill then, I'll put it in the 'maybe' collumn.

Only saw it once, didn't quite catch what happened and now can't see it again.

Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
 

interesting. have to talk to some other bikers about it, but this might be just the thing to add to my gortex/kevlar pants and jacket.

edit: of course, then my armor wouldnt be as breathable as it is now...

Ok, I caught it this time.

It didn't stop the bullet. Sure, it sealed the hole, but it didn't stop the bullet.

Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
 

In the case of the tanker, it was never INTENDED to stop bullets or shrapnel, but to simply prevent leakages that might otherwise prove devastating in a combat environment.

Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
 

That's a point.

Hmm, if i remember right small designed to be bullet proof don't real protect very well against explosions, and vehicles design to withstand/survive explosions usually aren't very effective against bullets(the potent ammunition). I do not remember the specifics but in either case the rhino material would help. As the demonstration
with those cinder block buildings illustrates. The Standing building may not be safe occupy afterwards, but if you were in it in such a situation you have the opportunity to make it out in one piece, versus being buried(possibly alive) in the ruble of the other.
