Isn't that kinda what bullets do?

I'd expect it to be an armor of several custard pockets, like a minicustard 6 pack

I for one dislike custard.

If they give us bacon armour, however, I'll be all over that like a fat kid on a twinky

a start ?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hmm. Right, bacon shield, helmet, sticki...but naked? That's awfully close to some form of baconiality.

I used to deal with fluids that were thixotropic when I was working in a material science lab. This stuff was like a thick gel in the vat, but became fluid like water when it was mixed. Stop mixing it and it went back to being a gel.

The fluid in this body armour behaves in the exact opposite of thixotropy, so I'm guessing the fluid is rheopectic (gets more viscous against shear). The harder you stir it, the thicker it gets.

I <3 non-newtonian fluids.

That is exactly what I was going to say Zenith, it's not one thing but tuther. How profound old chap, what, what. Tea & Crumpets? A dandly notion!
