Abstract

We consider some of the consequences of possessing skin thick enough to be bulletproof as determined in "P3 2 Thick Skin" [1]. We find that the extra skin would weigh 103 kg however even if this weight could be carried the temperature increase in the body would result in death in as little as 5 hours if not counteracted.
