reddit. Ned Kelley was an Australian outlaw in the late 1800's, when the law caught up to him he had this suit of armor that he made himself. When the gunfight broke out there was quite a lot of mist and the officers couldn't see what he was wearing so they couldn't understand why he wouldn't go down when they shot him, as the mist cleared they saw that his legs weren't protected and that's how they brought him down.
