I was watching "How it's made" on the tube the other night and saw them announcing a new technology being studied for a new body armour fabric made from genetically altered sheeps milk to form a spider silk protien type wool. From what I can gather it's essentially a sheep injected with DNA from a spiders genetic silk makeup into the area the build the genetic code for protein production in milk, production on the sheep is still small and quantity is a real issue with using spider silk for anything. Now I don't know how relevant this is and I couldn't find any real info on armour being tested or built, but on "How it's made" they said this fabric has 10X more stopping power than kevlar for the same density. Look into it, or as you NOOB bullies say GOOGLE it..... I found some very interesting reads when I looked deep, take care.
