Man develops bullet-resistant device to protect, well, you know...

Jeremiah Raber, of High Ridge, MO, never imagined he would invent a product that could protect military men overseas, the original idea was just to help mixed martial arts fighters.

Seven years ago, Raber came up with the notion to build a stronger men's protective cup for mixed martial artists and ultimate fighters. After spending years experimenting, and about $100,000 of his own money, Raber's concocted something so durable the Pentagon has taken notice.

"It is a bullet resistant groin protection device," Raber says.
