THE GOVERMENT IS READING MY MIND!!!!!! GET MY FOIL HAT!!!

I'd love this to work, as having fewer layers I'm guessing gives more flexibility and less weight would have massive applications for defending civilians in war torn regions (i'm imagining a bullet-proof blanket or barricade) but won't pointed bullets from a rifle have more penetrating power?

Fine if you're shot in the waist, but a bugger if hit in the shoulder. Begs the question, how are they going to keep the liquid in place in a vertically fitted flak jacket?
