A Bullet-Proof Company:

DuPont are very big .. and they have continued to be very significant to firearms users ever since they were formed back in 1802 to manufacture (or 'mill') gunpowder - & they have been a major munitions maker ever since.

  They were very much involved in the development and supply of Plutonium and Tritium for nuclear weapons since 1939 at the Hanford Project & at the 310 square mile Savannah River Plant.

 .. and played a critical roll in the development of KEVLAR  poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide fiber - used widely for it's strength and lightness in bullet proof body armor.

Radioactive Tritium - that you can employ in your night sights - is an essential part of fission (Hydrogen) Bombs as an accelerant & trigger - but unlike Plutonium, it degrades at a fast rate of 5.5% per year .. so it needs to be refreshed or replaced at intervals.

Tritium

- If DuPont hadn't invented Nylon in 1935 - there might never have been GLOCKS with their polymer frames and magazines.

After researching & writing 1,036 blogs I've got something NEW to try .. I've signed-up to Patreon. - In over five years I've not made one cent from this .. NOW you can send me a wee support $ - starting from $1. to get all this stuff from New Zealand - over a year that's nearly the price of one Shooting magazine. - Am I worth it?
