Picture this situation.

How would something like this affect warfare /k/?

We'd melee more, fuck off

>vulnerable to decomposition at temperatures over 150C...
Personal flamethrowers make a comeback...

I no joke got both of these games for xmas a couple of years back. Pretty funny.

>Is vulnerable to decomposition at temperatures of 150 C

More tracers.

Bullets are modified to work like SABOT rounds so the end result is that they're firing small arrows.

If it can stop a bullet, and it eliminates shock, how exactly does this armor not protect against fists and swords?

> war never changes

Kek, that sounds like something a British commander during ww1 would say before his whole platoon is gunned down by one machine gun team.
>>
>>34269276
You'll just stab or burn people more

Another solid win for war never changing
>>
>>34270850
Perhaps it's properties provide that level of protect only against non-sustained forces.
>>
>>34269276
You just make a better bullet, like w/e the fuck the pistol in Halo 1 uses or a gun that shoots fists holding swords outwards

it would probably be an expensive material to create so you wouldn't even be seeing much of it anyway
>>
>>34269276
Use more 40mm and flamethrowers and shit.
Use bigger arms instead of trying to change shit. Everyone gets a LMG, DMR is now a 20mm anti-materiel rifle.
Woo..
>>
>>34271172
The mindset that the British cavalry had is baffling
>>
>>34269276
We'd just make heated bullets that melt through the armour. Something like shaped charge rifles.

>>34271172

Fucking this, war is the one thing that is constantly changing.
