Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
Try some leather steel-toed boots. They never wear out...and make a great defensive weapon.

Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
In the demonstration I was invited to attend, they placed a car LOADED with explosives equidistant between two small cinder block buildings, roughly 20 feet away from each. Of course, one was sprayed and one wasn't. They detonated the explosives, COMPLETELY obliterating the vehicle and leaving a respectable crater. The sprayed building bulged inward, and the bricks lost their mortar, but it remained intact!!!. The opposite building was nothing more that small fragments of cinder block, steel, and wood.
Having been to the first Iraqi conflict, and having seen the effects of IED's with my own eyes, I gotta tell ya I was DAMNED impressed !!!

Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
In the second half of this demonstration, they fired an AK-47 assault rifle at a tanker truck filled with water, but sprayed outside by the Lining material. A ten second burst, all impacting and penetrating.
NOT ONE DAMN LEAK !!!
This stuff even sealed itself over the bullet holes...

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?

Re: OT: Rhino Linings - tougher than you think
I want videos. Untill then, I'll put it in the 'maybe' collumn.
