And don't forget the humble .22 does a fairly good job of penetrating Kevlar and has an authenticated lethal range of just over a mile.

Now all we have to do is work out some way of firing mantis shrimps at the opposition - some sort of catapult thingmy? They laugh at towels.


Kaol: try reading 'Shipwrecked on Top of the World' re Polar Bears. Accepted fluffy bear-fecking-off routine is to fire a flare up it's snotter and hope it ambles off. There is no point whatsoever in running, you'll just die tired.



Edit: K2K6 - multiple layers is effectively what Kevlar does, which is why a narrow pointy impact (such as hypervelocity 4-6mm ish ammo which has been developed to penetrate Kevlar Body Armour and helmets at frightenly long ranges) will go through, or a very powerful larger impact (such a fullbore rifle) will blast through, which is why you have ceramic plates over Kevlar these days. Moral of the story, don't get shot.
