Well, wasn't my idea, I just built the thing to survive... But I can tell you that 1/2" of carbon fiber (five-times the strength of steel -Lb./Lb.), 1/4" kevlar skins, wraped around a honey-comb core, in a high-performance vynilester resin, re-enforced w/ heavy 6061 T-6 internal structural box-beams (also wraped in another 1/4" Kevlar)... And any terrorist you might run-across, short of one hiding in a battleship... you will cut him in half... and that's un-armed... I know I wouldn't want to be chased down by one of these things... it'll eat fiberglass like a morning crumpet... I used to build 50cal. resistant panels: @ likely shallow strike angles, I doubt that 50cal. rounds would penetrate either... Blast deflection's pretty good too, probably take direct hit by anti-tank round to take it out... Fight terror? Don't send me out in an open inflatable. Fight Terror?
