The Continental Display Package

This exclusive limited run collectible includes a sample of the composite layup used in our suit, a bullet that the Hacksmith actually fired to test the materials, and a continental replica metal coin along with a certificate of authenticity. Only 20 have been produced.

DISCLAIMER:

THE SAMPLE OF COMPOSITE FABRIC INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. BY PURCHASING THIS COLLECTIBLE, YOU HAVE AGREED NOT TO USE IT FOR ANYTHING BEYOND DISPLAY PURPOSES, AND HACKSMITH RETAIL LTD IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER USE OF THIS COLLECTIBLE.

THE SQUISHED BULLET IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A 9MM BULLET LOOKS LIKE AFTER HITTING SOFT COMPOSITE ARMOR. IT IS PHYSICALLY ATTACHED TO THE SAMPLE USING A M3 COUNTERSUNK SCREW FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. THIS MEANS THE SAMPLE IS STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED AND WOULD NOT STOP A BULLET. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TEST THE SAMPLE BY SHOOTING IT – IT IS TOO SMALL TO STOP A BULLET, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED BY THE MOUNTING SCREW THAT HOLDS THE DISPLAY BULLET.

THE FABRIC COMPOSITE LAYUP IS UNTESTED, AND UNPROVEN TO BE BULLET-RESISTANT. OUR SAMPLES AND FULL SUIT ARE NOT JIC CERTIFIED, AND WAS ONLY TESTED AT THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REVERSE ENGINEER THE COMPOSITE FOR USE IN CONSTRUCTING ARMOR. WHILE THE FABRIC DID STOP BULLETS IN OUR VIDEO, FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES, NOT ALL DETAILS WERE INCLUDED.

THE MATERIALS WHEN ARRANGED IN A JIC CERTIFIED MANNER DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO STOP BULLETS, HOWEVER THE LOW THICKNESS OF OUR SUIT COMPROMISED ITS ABILITY TO PROTECT ITS WEARER SIGNIFICANTLY, AS A MATERIALS ABILITY TO STOP A BULLET FROM GOING THROUGH IT IS NOT THE ONLY FACTOR WHEN IT COMES TO BULLET-RESISTANT ARMOR. THE BACK FACE DEFORMATION OF OUR SAMPLES WOULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED LETHAL INJURY TO A PERSON WEARING THE SUIT. THE VIDEO WAS FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. OUR LAYUP IS NOT CERTIFIED, GUARANTEED, OR EVEN FULLY TESTED IN A PROPER MANNER. COMPANIES THAT SPECIALIZE IN ARMOR DO EXTENSIVE TESTING ON VARIOUS LAYUPS BEFORE CHOOSING ONE TO INCLUDE IN A PRODUCT. OUR COMPOSITE STACKUP IS NOT NOVEL AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A BASELINE FOR ANY PRODUCTS. THERE ARE FAR BETTER COMPOSITES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE FROM ARMOR MANUFACTURERS.

IF FOR ANY REASON YOU REQUIRE BULLET-RESISTANT ARMOR, PURCHASE FROM A COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES IN MANUFACTURING OF ARMOR THAT IS JIC CERTIFIED AT LEVELS 2A, 2, 3, 3A OR HIGHER. AN EXAMPLE OF A COMPANY THAT MAKES TESTED ARMOR IS HTTPS://WWW.PREMIEREBODYARMOR.COM/HACKSMITH
