A revolutionary new material called Composite Metal Foam, or CMF, can pulverize enemy rounds and could even be used as an armor to protect tanks and other combat vehicles… link |

Even if it's Fox News, I find any source of such North Korean-like grandiose proclamations as "New foam armor for tanks can pulverize enemies" and "MARINES' ULTRA-POWERFUL HEAVILY-ARMED MEGA-DRONE WILL DEVASTATE ENEMIES OF THE US" to be suspect. |

Didn't need the rant against Fox News; plenty of other news sites do similar. But this looks like a worthwhile development for armored vehicles. Anything that cuts weight and gives same protection is a good thing. Heck, wonder if it has uses for personal body armor? |

Interesting idea worth hearing about. But I don't think the columnist quite gets it comparing the stopping power to the penetrating power of a .30 cal. round. Let's hear what it does to a 130mm round. |

Yes, but most importantly … can we use it to make terrain? :) Dan |
