This odd form of armor consists of a large spiral cone made from kevlar and ceramics, which is worn on the upper body. The point of the cone faces the wearer, and is secured by an elaborate (some would say sexy) system of straps.
The base of the cone faces outwards. When engaged in a gunfight, bullets
enter the open base of the cone and expend their velocity in traversing the multiple spirals of the cone. The wearer can remove and examine them at their leisure after defeating their opponent.

This idea is obviously perfect. |
|
| |
Save for the unweildy-ness of a large cone which may or may not stp the bullet. |

Cool, sounds like a human gumball dispenser. |

I like this idea, especially the possibility of taunting the enemy after a firefight - also, after a good MG barrage, you have enough bullets for a very unconventional set of maracas. |

What if the spiral were short enough to alter the direction of the slug but sent the bullet back in the direction it came from? |
|
| |
Also the sight of this armor would cause your opponent to pause long enough to say "What the hell..." and get himself shot. |

[normzone] when you test this with live ammo, make sure someone videotapes it. |

I wonder why this idea isnt baked....? |

Then it would be the "Right Back At Cha' Vest" see top right. |

Didn't Madonna bake this in one of her music videos? |

Sounds like a giant ear trumpet. "Stop or I'll shout!" |
