    Two way raido? I hope it's so they can hear whats going on around the monkey, not for the monkey to talk back!

    Tho that would be cool....

    In dire situations the monkey will be trained to go down male terrorist's pants and use it's teeth <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Sounds smart, if you ask me. If you can train them to suspend their instincts far enough to go into eminently 'dangerous' (i.e.: loud, dark, bad smelling) places, they might work significantly better than anything a technician could offer.

    Plus, it makes for some great jabs at the SWAT.

    I have got to get me one of those. It could get me beer from the fridge and take out anyone who tries to mug me with a TMP. In return, it would get a free trip to the zoo and all the lady monkeys.

    I was reading an article on the net some where, dunno if i will be able to find it. But i know for sure the British Navy have trained dolphins to detect mines, and lay them.

    Americans have done the same with both dolphins and sea lions.

    Why the vest?

    Lets do some simple math. A 9mm Luger has a muzzle energy of about 500 joules. The monkey weighs 3-8 pounds, which is between 1.5 and 3.2 kg.

    One joule is equal to 1 (kg m^2) / s^2. 500 Joules will accelerate that 2 kg monkey to 250 m^2/s^2, or 15.8 meters/second. That's 35 miles an hour, instantly, and then back to 0 when he hits a wall or something.

    I dunno. Doubt it'd stop anything meaner than .22LR when it's that small anyway.

    Yea, we should arm monkeys with Arbrams tanks and air superiority fighters.

    Kevlar because it looks cool. If someone shoots buchshot at the monkey, theres a chance it could live, since its only small pellets. But I just cant see a monkey in a vest with the words SWAT written on the back, I'd just laugh if I saw it run in with that on. Now if they taught it to shoot a gun, then it would be awesome <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    This is beginning to remind me of that monkey in Metal Slug....

    It's not a bad idea actually. It sounds funny but it could work.
