digital camo is some crazy shit

That looks like a damn Storm Trooper to me!

Looks cool,what's that thing on his leg?

and it in action.. watch near the end

Oh ducky, I bet that wears well in 120F temps.

woah wtf, is that real?

shit.. I guess it'd be 150 min inside that suit........:Oh crap

:eek7

Machinery. It's what allows someone wearing a suit like that to easily carry both the suit as well as a few hundred extra pounds with very little effort.

A suit like that is basically a human-shaped bulletproof vehicle. A walking tank, of sorts.

It will take a few more decades before things like these become truly useful, but after that, war will never be the same again. Imagine a bulletproof soldier who can run 100 miles while carrying heavy weapons, can "see" through walls, can literally tear a man limb from limb, etc. That's part of the future of war.

How the hell are we going to win hearts and minds with our soldiers wearing that kind of shit? That would scare the hell out of me.

if I remember reading suits like that would be cooled. So it would be very comfortable.

wow that is off the hook!!

for real?

Projected holograms perhaps?

its like robocop! sweet.

If you havent figured it out.. We are playing the part of the Empire..

Doesnt look real to me. But what do I know.

I'd be scared a bit but still would punch that armor to pieces in no time

There Ninja everywhere..

gotta love that anime pic

They just need to adapt the ideas and suit diagrams for the marines in warhammer 40k. :winkwink: I mean that suit is a little close. Not sure of the CPU and if it monitors body functions and acts as its own medic. Does it have feeding abilities and waste recycling. Looks like some enhanced bionics which is good though they would really need it in arms to so they can have adaptable arm equipment. Better visor capabilities for assorted full spectrum's of visions. Closed system with environmental scrubbing, then of course some very long term power supply. I mean if you are going to do it you may as well be able to keep them in the suit for weeks if not months at a time.
