The thing is, this is similar to the description of EndoSteel to a T. Hell, the SB thread with this video has SB's BT population go out and say that this is similar to EndoSteel. ... which makes it very possible that Battletech armor isn't made of vampires...

It's... not spaced armor. It's a composite armor but uses the metamaterial known as metal foam in its construction, something that kind of came out of nowhere in metalergy. Then again, this is basically either the V0 or V1 version. I wouldn't be surprised that we get some Battletech style...

Its real-life equivalent is Composite Metal Foam (basically a composite that has an aluminum backplate, a steel metal foam, and CBN faceplate) and we even got a video of it working in action: The surprising thing is that ball .50cal ammunition did better than AP .50cal ammunition. :eek:
