| Description: | PEEPS THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE WORLD (NO. 53) Testing bullet-proof cloth Ohio, United States of America. In Ohio we see various shots of a new bullet-proof fabric being tested in a field. A man fires bullets at a suit made from the cloth from a short distance, then shoots at the back of a man wearing the suit. He reacts as the bullet strikes him but is all right - it looks like he has a protective plate inside the suit. Then a man tries to drill through the suit while the man is wearing it - looks quite funny, like he is drilling through his tummy. The cloth holds fast. He tries a hacksaw on the suit - still no damage! (bullet proof vest) | |
