Dude... invest in a good grammar/spell checker, or at the least have your work checked over by a mate. This isn't the first time I've had to use a decoder ring to read your blog entry.]]>Nov 21st 2006 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/
Now I was thinking, if they would make an umbrella of it, you would have a bullet-proof shield with you all the time. That would become handy in certain area's where shootings are part of daily business....

Still... were just managing to get some real accuracy intercepting large, long range missles, so I can only imagine how hard it would be to intercept something small that would be in the air for just a few seconds. ]]>Nov 21st 2006 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/
You know how it is, you got stuff to do - write a report, clean the house, shoot a rocket - but you just can't leave the game! Roll on the next generation of entertainment junkies as leaders.

PS Firefox has that excellent spell check plug-in now - go and download it for you browser. It won't do much for the sentence structure, but hey. ]]>Nov 21st 2006 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/

LittleJoe: You might be surprised how easy it is to intercept RPGs; they are basically slow bullets with no guidance or maneuvering ability.

(Slightly different topic:) So, how much you want to guess the final product name has something to do with spiders or "web slinger" ??? 8^)]]>Nov 21st 2006 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/Nov 21st 2006 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/Nov 21st 2006 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/
It seems to me that the "parashield" would basically be an advanced form of reactive armor that would serve to pre-detonate the incoming round. There could be MBT applications as well making HEAT rounds totally ineffective.]]>Nov 21st 2006 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/Nov 21st 2006 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/Nov 21st 2006 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/new-kevlar-based-parachute-rockets-to-repel-rpg-attacks/
