As you can see, it's not made of small discs. The reason for this is easy to see, IMO: having one big plate allows for the kynetic energy of the bullet to be spread over a large surface. I.e., instead of getting hit a lot of force in a tiny area as the bullet would do, the victim will get hit with the same force spread across a big area, which will make the pressure per square centimetre much smaller. Using small discs (I guess you mean like chainmail) would probably turn a smallish entry hole into a big one due to the kynetic energy not being spread enough. At least, it would mean having bones breaking and inner tissue rupturing.

Well it all depends how you lay out and support the discs: Dragon Skin Body Armor

Your right, who cares if a longer yellow light means less accidents. People are driving and aren't following the rules! Who cares how many people get maimed and killed in these accidents that would be easily prevented by a longer yellow light. People just need to drive better. I'm sure everyone behind the wheel will be a perfect driver any day now!

You'd think that would mean it would be easy to figure it all out. Instead pyhsics just gets less intuitive.
