Also, I got "can of pop" in my head, which made this article title ludicrously hard to read. xDAlex Co said:Block Acces
Given the measurements, it's only going to be chest-high if they either stack them on top of one another or if the US military conscripts Peter Dinklage to the infantry.FalloutJack said:'chest-high walls' in a can (or something similar, given the measurements)

They don't pay 'em for nifty names, just effective usage. And...I hope it actually works.Naqel said:Chest-high walls in a can I can get behind.
The stupid name they gave it? I think I need some brain bleach.
Yeah, bring the wall with you! That's the way!Random berk said:Powersuit!
You'd better talk to your Congressional Representative. Even the military thinks it's got too much hardware. In all probability, the can-in-a-wall - provided it works at all - will be a simple, cheap device that can be churned out of a factory in carload lots. Congress may well refuse to fund it as it's not complicated enough to require many workers and thus would be a waste of pork barrel money. The point of much defense work is to get government money ladled into particular districts rather than actually create military strength. Remember back when soldiers in Iraq didn't have body armor? It's a similar thing.omega 616 said:How about diverting some money to helping your country men out, instead of spending it to fuck up another countries men? We get it, you have the biggest dick, nobody is going to fuck with you! Now, PLEASE focus on your own failings!
I bet if you diverted 90% of your war budget to health care, cancer, aids and about 50 other diseases would be gone in 10 years! You wouldn't have things like breaking bad happening (not the actual show, just the message behind it of families being left destitute due to a medical problem).
Something like that, and like RJ17 said they already use something like that for construction.FalloutJack said:What, like this?chaser5000 said:Maybe some kind of fast hardening foam or something.
Interesting thought, but would it stop bullets?
In military terms, "concealment" is anything that blocks you from direct view of the enemy, whether it's something solid like a thin wall or open like a row of bushes, but doesn't actually stop direct fire. It doesn't have to be camouflage, which is what you might be thinking of.Random berk said:How the hell is it concealment?The Rogue Wolf said:I was wondering that myself. No material you can put in a can (at least with today's technology) is going to stop a round from a modern assault rifle- which means this isn't cover; it's concealment.Cranyx said:that's not exactly portable, in fact it's almost large enough that you could just use the can. Also I have to ask if the walls are bullet-proof, ie can they actually be used for cover.Alex Co said:crammed into a canister measuring 1 ft. by 6.5 ft.
I could go for some BlockADE right now. I'm dehydrated.Kungfu_Teddybear said:This sounds like some ACME corporation invention. And they should have called it Can-o-Wall or something. BlockADE is just boring.
