A spider silk suit that could stop bullets. I want one. The stylish protective wear of the future is upon us!

I would skip the skin weave for now however, in ten years? Maybe.

Well, it is a start. Stopping a .22 cal handgun bullet (and NOT a rifle bullet shot at half velocity like said in the video) is not that hard, but comparing those 4 layers of silk to around 33 layers in kevlar...it is impressive. Body armor would still have to be bulky though, since it has to dissipate the force of the bullet over a large area or else localized shock could still kill someone. It would at least be lighter and more flexible than the protective wear today.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step.
