I'm pretty sure this article should be expanded, merged with body armor or deleted. Anyone want to expand it? GutterMonkey 04:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bomb suits are a highly specialised subtype of body armor not intended for general usage by a, say, riflemen.--79.139.166.114 (talk) 18:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actual Use?

We see these things in movies and stuff all the time, but are they actually still used? I can't imagine that they'd actually protect the wearer from a couple of sticks of TNT at a range close enough to defuse the bomb. Is this article here as a part of military history, or is it current? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.111.41 (talk) 11:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bulletproof?

Are these things bulletproof?--79.139.166.114 (talk) 18:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

Almost always bomb suit with a space: see e.g. Google Books search results. That is probably the main spelling Wikipedia should use. 86.131.98.77 (talk) 10:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spam tag

There's no rationale here for the spam tag; and it doesn't seem promotionally written to me. Therefore I'm removing it. 87.194.8.35 (talk) 22:46, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No citations.

Where are the citations? Seriously, how can anyone take this article for anything more than an anecdote; if there are no citations?'''Aryeonos''' (talk) 21:17, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I was just about to slap a merger tag on this article when I noticed it already had one. Advanced bomb suit is simply a rehashing of this article and should be merged with this one. Also, shouldn't it be "bomb suit" not "bombsuit"? --ErgoSum•talk•trib 16:18, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
