"Don't Tase Me, Bro!" was the top quote of 2007, but we may never hear those words again. Point Blank Solutions, the world's leading manufacturer of body armor, announced in a press release that it has entered "into an agreement with G2 Consulting to market a line of electroshock weapon protection systems."According to Point Blank's press release:
Until G2’s patented ThorShield technology, there has been no protection for officers if their weapon is turned against them.ThorShield works by providing a highly conductive specialized layer of fabric that ensures the electric current discharged from the weapon flows through the lining rather than the body.
Point Blank has teamed up exclusively with G2 Consulting, architect of ThorShield and other electroshock weapon protection solutions, to integrate this technology into Point Blank Body Armor and PACA body armor products.
Not sure how this technology relates to the Taser-proof jacket patent I previously wrote about.
G2 had previously been selling the fabric itself, based on this old page, but only for police or military use. Of course, the first thing that came to my wife's mind is: even if the police and military are the only ones able to order this stuff, all it takes is someone stealing some of the clothing and there you go - a ready supply for crooks.
