Not Your Usual Duct Tape

The military uses tape with much stronger adhesives. One nickname for it is "300 mile per hour" tape because it is used to patch holes in airplanes. I think it's preasonable to assume that this is that sort of tape.

Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter HOW strong the duct tape it. To put it just an inch on either side of a man's mouth would NOT prevent them from removing it very easily. Unless hte duct tape was made of Krazy Glue, it would not hold up after only a few seconds.

Regarding comment 49282 Regardless of what you call it, DUCT tape is DUCT tape

Duct Tape by Any Other Name (is just as sticky)\rAs a public service to Duct Tape Novices and Pros alike, here is a short list to acquaint you with some other names given to “The Ultimate Power Tool.”
\rGaff Tape (also Gaffer’s Tape): This special grade of duct tape (often colored black) was developed by the entertainment industry to hold lighting equipment and cables in place and has a dull finish so that it won’t reflect lights.
\rRock and Roll Tape: Whether they can afford gaff tape or just good old black duct tape, underappreciated rock and roll roadies keep the music industry alive thanks to their love of the America’s favorite adhesive.
\r100 MPH Tape: A name recognizable, no doubt, to U.S. Army Veterans.
\r200 MPH TAPE: Pit crews across the nation’s auto-racing circuit know that duct tape holds even when you’re going over 200 M.P.H. The nickname was so common, “Duck” brand duct tape manufacturer Manco has even trademarked it!
\r1,000 M.P.H. tape: The U.S. Navy uses duct tape to repair radomes. A Radome is the dome that fits over a radar antenna. On an airplane, that's usually the nose cone. It has to be transparent to the radar waves. (Any repairs must be radar-transparent, too on fighter aircraft.) Since the planes fly so darn fast, they call it “thousand mile an hour” tape.
\rMissile Tape: The Aerospace industry, according to a Martin Marietta worker, used a green duct tape that they secured and routed wiring and cables on test missiles. They called this green duct tape "missile tape".
\r1,000 Mile tape: Norman Vaughn, arctic explorer for whom Antarctica’s Mount Vaughn was named, puts it on his dog sled runners to prevent ice build-up and says it lasts 1,000 miles. He is also the one who recommends sleeping with the tape to keep the adhesive pliable in cold climates.
\rCanoeists’ Companion: Very few canoeists would be caught without a roll of duct tape. Why? Hit a rock, rip open the hull, you’re done canoeing unless you have duct tape along!
\rWisconsin Pewter on a Roll: Any Packer fan will tell you what’s really keeping that cheese on their heads: duct tape.
\rHikers’ Helper: Along with a good sleeping bag, a Swiss Army knife, and dry matches, duct tape makes sure outdoors enthusiasts are prepared for anything.
\rJesus Tape: In Finland and Sweden, they refer to duct tape as “Jesus Tape.” They also refer to it as Gaffer's tape (or "roudarin teippi" in Finnish).
\rPlastic Surgeon on Roll: Pulls skin tight, lifts and separates—we all look better with a little bit of duct tape.
\rFirst Aid Kit on a Roll: A great emergency substitute for splints, bandages, tourniquets, sutures, etc

Credit where it's due.

100MPH tape...

I thought it was 100MPH tape because it has a tensile strength of 100 pounds and it's considered to be "high speed", which means cool or useful as in "Bring me some of that high-speed tape." As for the original nitpick, I'll get some tape and try it...

Don't forget EB Green

Many submariners also know duct tape as EB Green, because the Electric Boat Company (which builds many submarines) used a green duct tape that stuck to exactly one thing--itself -- and nothing else.
