Copper, Eric? Hmmm......

Combat Soldier, clothing?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_Pattern_Material

Or steel.......  http://www.westyorkssteel.com/spring-steel/cs95/

Wonder what he's really referring to?  :scratch:

It might be copper (98%) - nickel - beryllium, "CS-95® -Ultra-High Strength Copper Alloy". It can be annealed and tempered (!), welded, silver soldered, and hammered (!). Drilling, lathe work and milling is a pain of ass, but can be done. It's fairly cheap, actually.
Or it might be completely different         :doh:
