" Three years after it was realized the CMF (Composite metal foam) could provide superior protection against bullets and be much lighter as well, the theory was put to the test and it worked. This was done by modifying existing composite armor designs by substituting CMF for steel. This resulted in armor that weighed less and had superior stopping power."

stopping capability : weight

 

category, not

 

stopping capability : thickness

 

That would be quite the same as for structural tasks.
