Well its just that after reading the article, and unless I missed a part, it seems they have only tested it against weapons that use copper shaped charges. And while in theory it should be able to do it for just about anything else, those theories can change quickly in a live fire test. It would be cool to see everything get thrown at this technology so it can be perfected and deployed as quickly as possible.
Another thing is they mention power consumption isnt really an issue, but then its operated by a switch. Why cant it just be on all the time? Why take the chance that the driver doesnt flip the switch.
