Only problem is it takes around 2 weeks to assemble. So if you have plenty of time and money, kevlar makes a great arm. (Note: you must also carve out a foam core for it to be strong.)
Uh. Kevlar Weave, when in the right thickness/amounts, can be bullet RESISTANT.

Very true on the foam core part. I've built carbon fiber, fiberglass, and kevlar/carbon weave longboards, and without a foam core, there is NO structure.
