I'm sure everybody would like to have the skills of Neo in "The Matrix," but unless the suit can pretty much predict the future, bodies are going to be broken trying to twist and turn out of the way in an instant.

I do find this part amusing though: "...or it could simply make the intended target collapse."

Playing dead for the win!

can i test their suite for them in their trial runs against a barret sniper rifle?

seriously, amazing concept, like all things tech like this will be initially 'clunky' but never say never, tech never ceases to amaze me
