Pretty cool $15,000 real-life Halo suit |
Ó
Here's a quick off-topic post for the Xbox 360 kids, because we may be a step closer to having real-life Halo Spartans. Over at NeoGAF, there's a story about Troy Hurtubise who has made a slimmer model of his previous invention, a bear-protection suit. He thinks that the new suit can one day be mass-produced to protect Canadian and U.S. soldiers.
He calls the suit the Trojan.
It took him two years and $15,000, but he thinks that it can be mass-produced for $2,000 a piece. It holds up against elephant guns and other high-powered weapons. He hasn't tested being shot while wearing it, but he's tested wearing it for long periods to see if it's comfortable. It's 18 kilograms (about 40 pounds).
The suit is made of high-impact plastic, ceramic bullet protection, and ballistic foam. There are compartments for emergency morphine, emergency salt, a knife, an emergency light, a recording device, pepper spray, and a transponder. That's only half of it. The helmet has a solar-powered fresh-air system, a drinking tube (the canteen's in the back), a laser pointer, and LED lights.
He'll keep wearing the suit in public places to drum up publicity. He hopes to get an interview with military and law-enforcement contractors.
The thing between his legs is a clock.

WOW thats cool
that makes me go to the army now
iraq here i come
why spend $15000 on a car.. i'd rather have the halo suit!!! and emergency morphine?? SWEEET!
I Lol'd...!
How am I supposed to take a ***** with that thing on?
dont you think that it will be hard for soldiers to be able to move quick and effiecently with it on, especialy for taking bounds and diving into the prone position?
When he had the prototype of it, it was on TV and he had someone wear it and then hit by a truck going round 25 or 30 mph. But yeah, mobility is a huge problem, the guy on TV walked like an astronaut. Unless they can vastly improve on that, this will never see military use.
theres a still up his ass helping him to stand up LOL
stick* lol
You can just create a new branch of infantry called the Halo Trojans, and use them to guard stuff, not to attack.
U guys are gay im sticking to my zelda suit and ***** all ur mothers lol that pussies
Another Example of a Fanboy, Even tough i own a Wii.
Here's a quick off-topic post for the Xbox 360 kids .is halo coming out late 2007 0r late 2008
if they begin training with them, eventually they will become used to it and be able to move quickly with it. it will 'become them'.
HOLY CRAP I WANT ONE!!!
There is one big problem= Mjolnir suit is for fast moving and this suit is for slow heavy attacks....
This is the stupidest s.h.i.t I have ever seen. I bet that guy hasn't gotten laid in years... What a flamer
Ya Guys!!!! We can have The Halo Trojans (new infantry unit)... And then afterwards we can all ram each others asses in the basement of our parents houses!!!! Dude you guys are so lame. Seriously get a life.
TEA BAG any 1 ?
......actually... its not really funny.... at all..... tht has gotta be the most gay thing i hav ever sin !
Can anyone look at my D!CK and tell me what time is it?
Look closely!!! F@GGS
That aint no Halo suit. Theres is an exact replica of the MOLJINOR armor made by these paint ball guys who make this one look like *****. Well... this one is *****
you guys is total f@gzzzz. dis aint halo! i am a gangsta biatch!!!
I HATE YOU ALL
the army is going to have a big laugh at this
y would some idiot buy a stupid halo suit the only reson i would use it is halloween
the stupidest ***** you have ever seen? r u crazy? ill tell ya what... spend your own money and send a video of something of value that can protect our soldier sthen talk that crap. you could even make a suit that would ward off a racoon.....sigh nub... stfu.
It might not look as "1337" as a nonfunctional replica Halo suit, but it could have a lot of applications for the military AND civilian jobs. Bomb squad for example. If you guys think 40 pounds will make a soldier move slow.. you've clearly never been in the military. How about you think for a minute instead of dismissing everything as being "gay".
Yes it will becmoe them. Each suit is equipped with a Microsoft brainwash chip.
you *****ing moron, a little research would show that he actually took advice from people in the military. I love how people can't get over the fact that it resembles halo, like honestly Qj why the hell did you need to put halo in the name, I think this guy is on to something.
Batman is up in his room crying "why didn't I think of that first!" " I guess I'll just stick to tights."
Oh and I heard that the suit is being used for Batman Begins 2, wich means that the Joker must be useing bears for his evil plan to take over Gotham.
what kind of an idiot would laugh at a guy who made something to protect u
You guys are all idiots, don't even realize a good idea this suit may not be completly funtional but at least this guys out there trying to invent something to save our soldiers, rather than your lazy A**'* play video games all day!!
