		<description>And for military purposes, the mirrors can be constructed of highly polished stainless steel, which will not shatter from shock, bullets, or shrapnel.</description>

		<description>Actuall this can work very well.  I tried it out by setting up some mirrors in several open locations (gravel, grass,..).  The trick is to tilt the top of the mirror slightly forwards towards the ground so that the reflections are always of the ground, not the sky.  And you need to make sure that the mirror itself does not cast a dark shadow (or bright reflection) directly on the ground directly in front of it.  From only a few feet away it is almost impossible to recognize (looks like a sheet of plate glass).</description>

		<description>This is good for hunting, but I don&#039;t think anyone with an IQ over 70 will fall for this trick.</description>

		<description>Well, such a gadget has proven its practicality when the opposition consists of turkeys. Here&#039;s the blurb from the vendor: 

&quot;Stalker Shield is a flexible, metalised polyester reflective sheet that is held erect by a simple fiberglass rod framework. It&#039;s light, easy to setup and transport. Stalker Shield mirrors its surroundings making it a great blind or stalking shield that will change the way you hunt.

&quot;Superior to other blinds because it mirrors the cover around you
If you hunt from a blind chances are that the blind is camouflaged with one of the popular tree/leaf camo patterns. They work just fine as long as you&#039;re hunting in among large tree trunks, sticks and leaves. But if you want to hunt in a stand of small popple, a corn field, a cattail slough, swamp grass, a hayfield, a bush pile etc. your camo blind won&#039;t blend in.&quot;

		<description>not to mention that it would shatter when the fieldgun fired...

also I certainly would find it strange to se myself standing a few hundred meters away on the field of battle... &quot;hey sarge, your twin is leading a platoon straigth to our position&quot;...dumbest idea yet.</description>
