A new type of body armour, dubbed "bullet-proof custard" has been developed for the army.
The armour contains a custard like substance embedded between layers of kevlar. The substance is compared to custard as it hardens when it is impacted. It means the armour is more flexible than traditional designs but even more effective at preventing damage from bullets.
The armour is half the weight as traditional designs, allowing soldiers more maneuverability, and to stay cooler under extreme conditions.
