From Bears to Bullets
Troy Hurtubise has been working for a while at making a suit that can save a soldier’s life. PlasmaFire thinks it might be the precursor to Mjolnir armor (doesn’t hurt that Troy says he looked at Halo for inspiration); you can find an article and a video in PlasmaFire’s forum thread.
