      So where can you buy one from? I'd like one of those even if it isn't technically bullet proof. I don't really expect to get shot at anyway.

      One of them, or an Onyx Carbon tin....just as a posh snus can... I just wish they had no branding on them.

        The round in question was fired from a test-rig in UmeƄ, Sweden though the entire can and thus had to penetrate the thin metal lid before travelling though ca 3cm of air and then impacting the plate. Other rounds of greater caliber had penetrated the plate (and left a sweet exit hole). Havn't got pictures though, didn't bring my camera (and I was "working").

        Not being more than a regular ex-soldier I wouldn't know much about ballistics other than the fact that bullets hurt. Can's are marked with 'don't use this in lieu of bullet-proof equpiment', which I guess is their get-out-of-jail-card.

        I do know a bit about 39b when compared with regular 9mm NATO though and there is quite a big difference in effect. Barrel wear is a bitch, but when using Glock or Swedish m/45s (Swedish K) you're alright.

        [Body armours' always a bitch and heat rashes are ****ing terrible. Worse though is when you get sweat under your kit and you have to stand post in -30 C....that's when you wonder why you ever got in].

          It Arrived

          So a package from Swedish Match arrived this morning.

          Bullet Proof Snus can containing general onyx.

          The can can be used with any kind of snus can, in the same way an icetool snus can is used.

          1 goretex beanie branded 'General Snus'
          1 Ladies Scarf branded 'General Snus'
          1 Official Snus 2010 calendar
          1 General Snus history Book
          1 Swedish Match poster showing their current product range
          4 cans of General Maxi

          Wow what a christmas present.

            Maybe I'll order a few rolls so I can make myself a bullet proof vest. *kidding* I'm just not digging the idea of a bullet proof can. Now, if they come up with a can with a flip up lid on the top with a mirror and pressed powder, blush and a brush, I'll be all over that!

              All that needs is a hidden compartment under the powder for portions and you'd be set! 8)

                The branding on the can is just stuck on it is not engraved, it can be removed so would just be a very cool black snus can.

                    There are more powerful 9mm loads available to US citizens.

                    The whole "cop killer" thing is silly. Just about any rifle cartridge will penetrate standard issue body armor.

                    Only cop killer bullet I know of tat citizens cannot own is SS109 5.7mm rounds for the P90 and Five-Seven pistol. The rounds are weight relieved. However you can make your own SS109's by loading with 5.56mm bullets.

                        I have seen Mrmaroon's vids, and they are very good, but he approaches them as a nasal snuff. I have never seen anyone do a review of them, or use them in a video as an oral dip, which is how they are majorily used in the US.

                            That might be interesting. I dip it now and again, though I just put it in my lower lip/gum, been using a spoon, though I have used the lid too. Cool.
