Am I the only one that's slightly disturbed by the phrase...
...genetically engineered ‘spider goat‘
???
How many other creatures have they dabbled with?
(And why am I reminded of Homer's pet in the Simpsons movie???? "spider pig....spider pig...")

heres my take on this spider skin.
Bullet proof vests are still much thicker than the proposed spider skin. That extra mass helps eliminate a little bit of the impact or at least help to redistribute it a bit to soften the blow a tinsy bit. this spider silk derma has none of that mass so the person regardless of having bullet impenetrable skin will still be subject to the very overwhelming kinetic impact. the hydrostatic shock should still be able to shut down organs and cause death.
Some martial arts techniques will kill a person without causing mechanical damage (ie broken bones) or penetrating the skin due to the reliance on hydrostatic shock. the organs will shut down due to the shockwave on the force going deep into the body. so even though it's a cool idea to have supposedly bullet proof skin it still misses the point. your still going to die from the impact. And believe me blunt force impacts will kill you just as easily as a bullet.

Man wasn't the only genetically corrupted in the days of Noah...
“[Then] the sons of men [began teaching] the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord” (Jasher 4:18).
Satan and his horde can't create new life, but he can pollute through his knowledge.
