Eagle Young America

Chapter 431: Thanks to the body armor

Views:

Stepping away from the thigh, Alison ran down.

It was dark again inside, and Alison just ran to the basement stairs and saw several figures below.

Almost without any hesitation, Alison's hand grabbed a flash bomb all at once, and then threw it down.

"Close your eyes!" Alison shouted.

"Boom!" The flash bomb instantly illuminated. In the darkness, the light suddenly flashed out, causing the people below to scream. Then, Alison didn't take the stairs, almost turned his legs directly, and jumped down. At this time, he was agile like a monkey.

At this time, it was inconvenient to shoot, and I didn't know if the BS person was underneath at this time or his own hostage, so I could only use this non-destructive weapon.

If the person below is one of your own, you should be able to understand this word, and if you close your eyes, there will be no injury.

When Alison jumped down, he heard a bang, and his heart screamed badly. When he looked at the night vision goggles with his left eye, he saw a guy below. He was holding a grenade in his left hand, and his right hand was already opened. ring.

Some people arrived before them. These people were originally on the first floor, so when there was an explosion outside, they pulled their legs off, but unfortunately, they were faster, and Allison was faster.

These people don't have too many weapons in their hands. They belong to the patriotic students who besieged the embassy. For them, more weapons are not good, but there are still grenades.

Now they plan to take a grenade and rush to the middle of these hostages. If the Americans want to save the hostages, they will die together.

But it was still a step too late, watching the Americans come down, their instinctive reaction was to pull the grip of the grenade and throw it out!

At this moment, the place was quite narrow, and there was no way to dodge it at all, and after seeing that this guy had already pulled the grip of the grenade, Alison was also anxious, so he immediately flew up and kicked at this guy.

"Pop!" The grenade fell under his body, and after that, he was kicked down severely, collided with the opposite wall, and lay down.

Under the body, a little panicked, he immediately thought that this was his own grenade!

That's right, it's a grenade!

This grenade had already been pulled off the tab, and the fuse was delayed. That was only a few seconds. Now, when he wanted to get up, he felt a sudden sinking on his body.

"Ah!" The second patriotic student had been kicked down by Allison.

Alison was almost a chain of legs, first put down one, then put down the second, the position is quite clever, just two people pressed together, and then, Alison's body, curled up in a corner.

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded.

The two patriotic students stacked Arhats both suppressed the grenade. In this way, the shrapnel was almost blocked by the two at the moment the grenade exploded.

Even so, there were still some shrapnel flying, Alison felt like he was bitten by a snake on his arm, and started to hurt fiercely. He pressed it with his hand, and it was full of blood.

Who could have imagined that he was actually hanging out here.

Fortunately, there is a bulletproof vest to save my life, I only got this one.

In later generations, the U.S. military wears bulletproof vests no matter where they fight. The lives of American soldiers are the most valuable. At the same time, it also makes people feel wrong. It seems that bulletproof vests are a kind of high-tech, only soldiers of later generations Only get this treatment.

actually not.

If I said earlier, the armor worn by ancient warriors can be regarded as a type of body armor, and it must be bulletproof.

In modern terms, it should have appeared at the end of the 19th century. After a few years, in 1901, after the assassination of President William McKinley, the body armor attracted the attention of the US Congress.

The first thing that is introduced is real silk, which is used in the body armor. Although this body armor can protect against low-speed pistol bullets, it cannot protect against rifle bullets. Moreover, silk deteriorates quickly in the trenches. This defect, combined with the limited bulletproof capability and the high cost of silk, made silk body armors neglected by the U.S. Department of Ordnance during the First World War and failed to become popular.

In the Second World War, Britain and the United States began to spare no effort to develop body armor.

In October 1942, the British Army first successfully developed a bulletproof vest composed of three high-manganese steel plates. In 1943, there were 23 types of body armor that were trial-produced and officially adopted in the United States. The bulletproof vests of this period used special steel as the main bulletproof material.

In June 1945, the U.S. Army successfully developed a bulletproof vest made of aluminum alloy and high-strength nylon. The model was M12 infantry body armor.

In the Korean War, the U.S. Army was equipped with a T52 full nylon body armor made of 12 layers of bulletproof nylon, while the Marine Corps was equipped with an M1951 hard "Doron" fiberglass bulletproof vest.

Body armor made of nylon can provide soldiers with a certain degree of protection, but it is larger in size and weighs up to 6 kilograms.

In this way, until the early 1970s, Kevlar, a synthetic fiber with ultra-high strength, ultra-high modulus and high temperature resistance, was successfully developed by DuPont of the United States, and was quickly applied in the field of bulletproof.

The emergence of this high-performance fiber greatly improves the performance of soft textile body armor, and also improves the comfort of the body armor to a large extent. The US military took the lead in using Kevlar to make body armor, and developed two models of light and heavy.

Although this kind of body armor has not yet been widely popularized, in special forces, the latest model of body armor has entered the stage of use.

However, using only Kevlar fabric as the main material and bulletproof nylon cloth as the envelope, such bulletproof vests are still defective.

Therefore, the bulletproof vests of the special forces also added a bulletproof plate made of titanium alloy on the front and back, and placed them inside, which can withstand the firing of the rifle.

(The kind of military fans who can't resist rifle bullets with their bulletproof vests are great. You can learn more about it. Bulletproof flaps have saved many American soldiers' lives on the battlefield. Most of them are shooting rifle bullets.)

Now, the body armor and helmet saved Alison's life. Although Alison was injured, he still rushed to the forefront.

"Quick, open the door of the basement!" Alison shouted to the person behind.

"Bum, bum, bum!" Behind, a soldier specializing in breaking the door used a large fire-fighting axe, and after a few strokes, the door was violently cracked open.

As soon as the door was opened, everyone was startled and then surprised. (End of this chapter)
