Interesting body armor idea!
There's constant research into improving body armor and this is certainly an interesting idea to improve it. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/scien...lefield-n68136

Do's and Don't of 'dillos !
(mammifero edentato notturno il cui corpo e testa sono protetti da un'armatura di piccole piastrine ossee) And as architecture in some other parts of the world...the Armadillo in Glasgow (I'm a proud Weegian)
