white ninja

Quite possibly one of the greatest web comics EVER! Cheaply drawn, but it adds to it. Funny beyond a doubt, excellent through and through.

If you don't like white ninja, then WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

cuirassier

Napoleonic era. A type of heavy cavalry that got its name from the cuirass, the French word for breast plate. The idea was large men upon powerful horses, who were able to charge head-on into the enemy and expose and flanks or holes left in the lines of infantry after an artillery barrage. They were equipped with a cuirass, a long sword, two pistols and eventually a carbine.

After the artillery finsished its barrage, the cuirassiers charged the broken lines of infantry.

kevlar

Material that is actually nylon streched very thin, which makes it much tougher. Used in everything from bullet-proof vests to gun stocks.

I only where about ten layers of kevlar. I hope that can stop a shotgun blast.
