Spoiler alert: they estimate it just north of $79 million.

@1:53 “…tear resistant and bulletproof.”
Well, $300K for something that’s a kinda sorta bulletproof — “anything but a straight shot,” (which, oddly is sorta the opposite of the norm)) — … that probably should be replaced every 4 years … or after getting hit ….
That must have been a fun procurement meeting.
[General] Very impressive. Heat resistant. Good compression resistance. Damn near cut proof – lots of sharp things on the battlefield after all. And, of course, bulletproof.
[Lucius Fox] Oh, definitely. Yup. Totally. It’ll stop anything but a straight shot.
[General] Perfe-, wait, what?
[Lucius] Yessiree, this here’s rock solid against anything that hits outside of a 30 degee angle…otherwise, yeah, it’s going right through.
[General] Uuh…
[Lucius] Or if it’s a high caliber-round, multiple shots from close range….
[General] *Slackjawed*
[Lucius] Also, FYI, it kinda sinks in water. Like a rock, really. Yup, for $300K a piece, they’re all yours.
[General] I think we’ll be going in a different direction.
[Lucius] Surely you can’t put a pricetag on the lives of your frontline infantry?
[General] Well, I would have thought so, but here we are.
[Lucius] Wait, did I mention it’s stab-proof? Never trusted those Gurkhas.
