Inventor creates Halo exo-skeleton armor suit for military use

An inventor has created something that closely resembles the armor-protecting suit from Halo. Troy Hurtubise created the 40lb suit called Trojan in hopes of protecting soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. It purportedly can withstand knives, bullets, light explosives, clubs, and even a round  from an elephant gun. (No word weather or not it can handle a round from the Covenant Carbine or Needler.)

It is claimed to be the "first ballistic, full exoskeleton body suit of armor," Trojan is made from high-impact plastic lined with ceramic bullet protection over ballistic foam, and features storage compartments from everything from morphine to gun holsters or emergency lights. There's even a solar-powered fresh-air system and a drinking tube attached to a canteen in the small of the back. He says he can mass-produce them for about $2000. Just imagine seeing a convoy of U.S. Marines wearing these puppies - probably enough to scare the bejeevees outta those dang Iraqi insurgents.
