Man Makes Invention; Army Interested

Jeremiah Raber has received the attention of the US Army when his invention was found in his basement. His invention is known as Nutshellz, and it is a bulletproof cup. In a demonstration, Raber fired a 9 mm round and .22 caliber pistol into his crotch and the bullets just bounced off. He explained how his groin protector will absorb any blow to the testicles because of his ultra-lite Kevlar. Since 2005, more than 1,500 soldiers were taken out of battle with genital wounds. These injuries include burns and lacerations and could leave men unable to father children, if you catch my drift. Nutshellz sells for $125 and has had athletes, soldiers, and law enforcement as the primary focus. The website says that, "Whereas a roundhouse kick to the nuts can actually shatter some plastic cups, this cup won't crack if you shoot it with a pistol."
