How would something like this affect warfare /k/?
>>34269276
We'd melee more, fuck off
>>34269276
>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.

>>It has a threshold of effective protection being able to protect from high caliber small arms but not from melee weapons such as fists and swords.
>>Virtually eliminates shock
If it can stop a bullet, and it eliminates shock, how exactly does this armor not protect against fists and swords?
>>34269276
Not this again.
>"shields"
Try growing up a bit more.
The spice must flow

> 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

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.
