Inspired by the "'Tis Just A Fleshwound' Bullet Proof Vest ", this fashionably tailored kevlar-and-ceramic leather jacket contains small dye packs in between the armor layers and the outer leather.
When the jacket is struck by a weapon, it bleeds enough of a stain to convince the television-addled
attacker that he has struck a telling blow, and need attack no further, giving you an extra moment for defensive or offensive action.

[bigsleep], chaff and flare clothing is a great idea, but I am concerned about the details. |
|

Such as: Why are you being pursued by missiles in the first place? |
|

Still, I'd like to own one, but I think you'd want to keep moving from the moment you activate it, and maybe end up in a swimming pool. And you'll lose a lot of friends, unless you clean up after yourself. |

A bullet proof vest with blood-packs in it? My we're going through the Mickey Blue Eyes references today. Hugh Grant was wearing one of these in that lovely scene where he was shot. Almost brings a tear to my eye. |

Alas, then, that makes this preheated, if not baked. I should have suspected as much. |

I like this idea. It's like the other one's twin that everybody loves twice as much. |

There is no reason to limit this to blood.
There should be appropriately sited
pockets which expel steaming streamers
of guts, spurts of bile, or even a tumbling
gout of brains. |

Also the "stain" might not be noticed by
the addled. What is needed here is "Evil-
Dead" caliber gushing. |
|

Prehaps, once "shot" you should lay down, then in the WWE's undertaker style sit up slowly and continue walking towards the attacker. He may believe you have turned into a zombie and run off. This would be especially effective if - you are in a shopping mall, an old shack on the outskirts of town or an abandoned gas station. Please note this method is Ineffective against headshots, or a chevy converted into a helipcoter rota blade death machine. |

That, then, makes two ideas that have spun off of this one that have not been developed and posted. |
|

The "Chaff and Flares Vest", and the "Zombie Vest". Both scare me. |
