If we move away from thinking of this as "personal body armor," maybe I do see a use. When thinking about TEOTWAWKI and "bugging in," I've thought about hardening a few spots in my house. It's a 1947 frame house with really thick walls that predate sheetrock. The interior walls are really tough to cut into but obviously they won't stop a bullet. And the house has lots of windows. I've considered putting steel plates around a few windows, inside the walls. This would create a shooting position where you couldn't be taken out by rounds zipping through the wall.

Steel is heavy and difficult to work with inside a wood frame. But something like this tile idea... I could see making that work. It's not as perfect as fitted steel shutters like Rawles used in Patriots but far better than nothing....
