Researchers at BAE systems in Bristol combined a shear-thickening liquid with the existing material used in bullet-proof vests - called Kevlar - to create the new armour.
The chemical formula of the new liquid is being kept secret but scientists say it works by thickening and becoming sticky on impact with a bullet. Stewart Penny, BAE's business development manager, described the new material as bullet-proof custard.
He told the BBC: It's very similar to custard in the sense that the molecules lock together when it's struck.
To test the new armour, scientists used a large gas gun to fire spherical-shaped bullets at more than 300 metres per second.
