The Romans did it with a net made of metal. (They found hundreds of net parts on the Masada fort in Israel).
I'm not sure how this blanket will be made. Either from units of reactive armor protection, airbags, silk nets, cevlar, or maybe my friends you have other ideas of how to make it.
The
idea is that when a soldier is wounded you throw it on her or him and they are then protected from further shots.
If part of it could be made transparent so you can see through it, all the better.
I just want to remind all the unabainium guys that till now any idea that I posted since around 2001 I think, and was deemed a wibni has been baked with flying colors.

I think I would prefer to be wearing it -before- I got shot and wounded. |

I would just like to declare that I am not and have never been one of [pashute]'s friends. |

//...it's a good idea that's WTKE// - just to clarify for the benefit of others, Wikipedia says that "WTKE" is a classic rock radio station based in Florida |

Sam Clemens considered that to be a bad and sad joke since it ends abruptly and you cannot continue laughing, instead, the person telling the joke has to gather the satisfaction that each and every one of the listeners "got it", milking the admission out of them, as opposed to "American humor" with no point and no punchline, with everything leaning on HOW the story is told, and the funny part being all along in the background. |
|
| |
For example, a fat farmer and his funny facial features are described as the farmer recalls his childhood as a boy, telling about a headless chicken running around the yard after being killed for lunch by the boy's aunt. |

Or a disrespectful group of kids at a graveyard getting scared out of their wits by the gravedigger who stops digging pushes the shovel into the ground and just tells them a story about kids like them who didn't give proper respect and their horrible end. |

[pocmloc], thanks, friend. :-( |
|
| |
[a1] OK I give up. You're right. Why They Know Everything? |
|
| |
And not that heavy either! 8 kg. How could I make it lighter without losing protection value? |
|
| |
In this case, I was sure it didn't. Thanks for not giving a Google This For Me link... |
|
| |
My question is still open: How can we make this blanket much lighter? 8 kg is pretty heavy. |

I know halfbakery is about half-baked ideas and not wishes, but as Herzl wrote on the front and back cover of his book, Old New Land (in German), Front cover: If you wish, it is not a dream. Back cover: But if you wish it may be only a dream. Even so, all great events and actions began with a dream. |

In this case, thinking about a new way to do something collectively, and using my internet friends (not as human shields) as assistants for an important thought process, if they are interested in joining it, may be productive. |

"Tel Aviv", the book's Hebrew name is a play on words with the name of the synagogue in Prague, which itself was a play on words with the Hebrew for On Condition. The book called Alteneuland, was translated to Hebrew as Tel Aviv, (Spring Hill) the name of the Jewish village in Babylon where Ezekiel gave his famous prophecies. Following the book's name, the first Jewish city in Palestine was called Tel Aviv. ) |

[pashute] it's nothing personal, we can be buddies, collaborators, lovers, acquaintances, business partners, mutual sycophants... anything that doesn't involve me potentially being used to make bulletproof blankets, is what I am trying to say. |
|

It's your own fault for getting those kevlar skin grafts, [pocmloc]. |
|
| |
I'm autobunning anything that's not a foaming at the mouth, adult diaper exploding political rant. Let's see, blanket... Romans... airbags... nope, it's clean. [+] |

(IIRC) Spacecraft use a multilayered armour, specifically with quite a gap between the layers, to allow a shattered micrometeorite to spread out before it hit the next layer.
Since (if you use something like Kevlar fabric) the penetration is stopped, but you still have the impact; you could space out layers of Kevlar (or silk, nanotubes, unobtanium...) using airbag-type deployment (for compactness while stored).
The inner layers wouldn't need to even be continuous; as long as there are enough of them so the holes don't line up in any direction, they could easily be perforated & therefore lighter.
So incoming bullet/blast would be spread out before it got to the patient, even if (say) a bullet penetrated a layer or 3. |
