    Ideas
In summary, the conversation was about various ideas for inventions, including a stun and smoke explosive device, a suit that deflects artillery fire and has enhanced physical abilities, and a miniature distress beacon. The feasibility and potential problems with these ideas were discussed.

The way modern military body armor works now is the kevlar layer, which is relatively thin prevents the bullet from penetrating. The ceramic "plate" absorbs the impact of the bullet. You still get knocked on your butt, and you still get bruised up, but you aren't dead. The plate can only take a couple hits before it is too cracked to prevent impact damage to the body. I would argue that there is a form of these portable protective curtains in the form of tanks. They have large guns to.

I see 2 problems with hiding behind a tank. First - you're not really hiding. Second - don't people shoot larger guns at tanks than at people?

The "curtain" concept I had in mind would be portable. Something to guard a soldier while firing. Although I do like the idea of a "tent" concept to protect from shrapnel.

I can tell you that your first priority to build this curtain would be materials. Using existing bulletproof "curtain" tech, anything large enough to be of use would weigh too much. You also have to figure that if your enemy has the means to destroy a tank, nothing you are carrying with you will be enough to keep you from harm. You'll have to find a way to get the shield to the front lines without reducing the amount of weaponry/ammo that the soldier is carrying. You'll also have to implement a method for setting it up in a reasonable amount of time while under fire in such a way that it would remain tactically advantageous to do so.

The original idea was for a firing screen - body width and adjustable height (top of head gear) while laying on the ground - perhaps 30" wide by 18" high?

I didn't think a foot soldier would be fired upon by weapons designed to kill tanks?

Soldiers are fired upon by weapons designed for destroying larger vehicles all the time.

Think current wars, not conventional wars between conventional armies, because at the moment the tech of a conventional war won't be as affective.

Military applications are an awful waste of a good education. Sorry if this sounds faggy.

You do realize that we've developed more through military application than any other means?

This argument reduces to the maxim: "necessity is the mother of invention"

While I would agree with your assertion, I would suggest that is not an optimal state of affairs.
One could also consider the inventions that conscientious scientists have not developed due
to their military applications.

Guys, you've got to get over the "bombs are cool" thing.

Correct and it's very true.

You can't not agree. It's fact.
One could also consider the inventions that conscientious scientists have not developed due to their military applications.

Such as?
Guys, you've got to get over the "bombs are cool" thing.

Please show me explicitly where anyone has stated/implied that. For one, we're not discussing bombs.
