In Viet Nam, helicopters are armored with titanium that stops snipers' .30-cal. bullets at 200 yds. But "any closer," says Davis, "and the bullets go right through." He proposes lining helicopters with 14-layer nylon, which can increase the amount of protection by 40% while reducing the cost of the armor by about the same amount...
