If you believe this story then American Solders could have IPODS as body armour
An Ipod apparently took a bullet and is claimed to have saved the life of an American soldier whilst in Iraq. Kevin Garrard, who is a soldier in the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. Apparently, was shot in the chest by an insurgent with an AK-47 at very close range. According to experts, the bullet of this caliber shot at close range would normally pierce through normal body armor. However, its said that Kevin's Ipod gave its life for its owner. The bullet struck the iPod and slowed down the projectile enough that his body armor stopped the hot lead from piercing his chest
However, the Soldier has rebuked the claims that the IPOD saved his life he says he was wearing upgraded body armour, but hard core IPOD fans seem to still think it was the IPOD. We are waiting for the mythbusters episode on this one.
