Definitely needs more testing. I pulled the video up on my phone, and it appears to be testing the armor against a .30-cal or smaller ball round. This would be a minimal level of protection for currently soft-skinned vehicles.

As for making anything bulletproof? Not going to happen. Much like idiots, they just build better bullets. My guess? Anything AP or over .50cal goes RIGHT through this stuff.
