  1. Well the problem with Armor is that it can be defeated. High grade 50 rounds like the SLAP and MK-211 can easily shred body armor. Even if the armor does stop the round the shear amount of kinetic energy from the impact will kill the wearer. In order for it to be useful, it will have to be protect the wearer from penetration as well as the KE from the impact. So that layers of armor potential. Secondly rounds impact on limbs is another problem as 50 can easy rip off limbs So any suit would need all around protection. Its possible but when dealing with heavy weapons, protection is simply not going to happen Power is another problem. While Iron man has fictional a power supply, we live in reality and dont have compact power supplies Honestly we dont have technology yet Now if you are building a 10 ft plus tall system, then yes we have the technology to do so but a suit as ultra compact as the TAOS Iron man is not available with our current level of technology
