I had to go look up 7.62x63mm ammo, I'd forgotten how huge .30-06 really is in comparison to most modern battle rifle cartridges. Great armor test!

That is some of the coolest sounding armor material ever... it resists radiation, plus Fire Proof (ish)!? Great for our Wastlelanders' vehicles.


"showed that CMFs are very effective at shielding X-rays, gamma rays and neutron radiation .... demonstrating that these metal foams handle fire and heat twice as well as the plain metals they are made of"
