The first one I saw.

Way cool. I actually thought of this back when I worked for a company that built a bullet catcher.

I thought why couldn't you develop this for the Military and use it on armor personnel carrier's and other vehicles.

Just reverse the physics. Simple is as Simple does.

All in a passing comment to the brass.

The **broken link removed** is pretty impressive. Though I don't think I would have stood in front of it as they inched it towards me on remote.

An IED or RPG will take that thing out. Even the 50cal penetrated it and a 50cal machine gun would chew it up pretty quick. Good enough for the cops maybe, but too light duty for military use.

The ripsaw is awesome. Tonight, they made a mini-ripsaw for sale to the public

Yes, but using armor plate then putting the same effects but heavy duty 1/2 in or inch. The armor on that thing was light.

The turret has to move right or left depending on the force of the explosion. If shaped properly it will deflect most object of course not best but better.

Edit: If it could do a 360 or more without to much Gforce. Survivable hopefully. \

Without your brains mixed up into mush.
