If a humanoid being composed of dense spider silk like flesh?

Question

If a humanoid being composed of dense spider silk like flesh existed lets say 6ft 220 lbs or 7ft 260lbs how much ballistic and or edged protection would his or her flesh provide

The oldest bullet-resistant fabric vests were made from silk. In 1881 George Emery Goodfellow of Arizona recorded that he saw 'A couple of individuals quarreling' The two combatants started shooting, and when Dr Goodfellow subsequently examined the wounds to one man he noticed that 'not a drop of blood' had come from the wound. The man had been shot through his breast pocket. The bullet had ripped though his clothes, but had failed to penetrate his silk handkerchief. Dr Goodfellow was able to extract the bullet intact from the wounded man by gently tugging the handkerchief, which was wrapped around the bullet. Intrigued, Dr Goodfellow documented various other cases of silk protecting targets from gunshot wounds, including a noted case where a man's bandanna saved his carotid artery from being severed.

From his early work, many others tried to improve on the haphazard passivity of these happy accidents, and took on active research to improve the rigidity of silk based protection. At the forefront, the Rev. Casimir Zeglen of Chicago, IL developed a bullet proof vest made of silk fabric at the end of the 19th century. These expensive vests (often costing US $800 each in 1914, equal to $15,000 in 2005) were capable of stopping relatively slow rounds from black powder handguns. On June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was wearing such a silk vest, but nonetheless died when shot in the neck above the vest with a .32 ACP bullet fired by Gavrilo Princip using a handgun, starting a chain of events that quickly escalated into World War I.

Answer 1

Strange question but the answer will be in the basic characteristics of silk. I don't think it provides much ballistic protection, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with Kevlar. As for edged protection, whatever that is, again it should match the characteristics of regular silk.

Answer 2

what's the volume of these 6ft and 7ft creatures? you seem to be arbitrarily defining the silk density.

what you need is a specification of how dense the silk fibers are packed and some idea of their structure. then the answer should be straightforward to estimate.
