LoooSeR Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 OMON Berkut with passive exoskeleton that was used in Palmyra. @Sturgeon @Collimatrix @Ramlaen Spoiler Maybe testing new equipment. Soldiers that have a shield carrying role would like some sort of gear that will make their job easier, as this is rather heavy ballistic shield. In one of interview specialist noted that he can actively work with it for 1-1.5 hours and up to 3 hours in passive "mode" (when searching, blocking, covering certain sector, etc.) Ramlaen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yes, let's strap on four pounds of junk that the soldier will break in 5 seconds and he won't be able to get rid of because he's "accountable" for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For serious; I guess it depends how well it works? My worry is that it would be an overweight, high maintenance shooting stick, but I'd love to see someone independent test it fully.

My worry is that it would be an overweight, high maintenance shooting stick, but I'd love to see someone independent test it fully. It works quite well, and isn't a new concept. The problem is that it's likely that in order to be durable enough to survive rough treatment from Private Snuffy, it would be too heavy to be worth it. Maybe I am underestimating the strength-to-weight of carbon fiber, though. I wouldn't be the first to do so. EDIT: I asked @Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect (who knows bikes pretty good - fairly analogous devices, those) what he thought a production, toughened version of that arm would weigh if made largely of carbon fiber. He guessed 2-3 pounds. So maybe there is something to it, after all. Belesarius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is just a prototype maybe more weight is ok for now. One step towards exosuits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
