“They never tested this armor against guns”
*History says differently*
late 16th century dukes ordered "up armored" cuirasse for the nobility to combat the uprise in what can only be called "peasant snipers" using early firearms on the backroads to mug nobility. From the examples I have seen, the heat treated, thick steel would easily stop a .45 and even a 9mm.
Rifle? No way, but any handgun short of a .44, I'd bet my life on it.
@@Ranstone this is accurate.
That's correct. Armor was often tested against contemporary firearms, especially in Italy, and was sold with a dent in it, called a "proof". The "proof" is a dent where the "bullet" had been stopped. Quality armors could regularly be purchased with a "bullet proof", demonstrating it's effectiveness, and ultimately giving rise to the modern term "bulletproof".
I kinda think this is why the Europeans went into firearms more than any other culture that had them.
European armour technology had gotten soo well developed, bladed weapons became increasingly infeasible.
I would argue that they were technically correct in that I doubt there were mail order cosplay armor sets around 400 years ago.
Metatron, Skallagrim, and Shadiversity every time Matt says it's real armor: "I feel a great disturbance in the force."
LMAO! My thoughts exactly!!
I remember seeing a video showing how firearms affected the way construction chest armor. They used two layers of metal. But still that was during the black powder era, so it still wouldn't protect you against modern weapons.
@@dishmanw watch Skallagrims guns vs helmets video, some were able to stop up too a .45
And scholagladiatoria too. :)
Lets not forget Tom's Workshop which produced a really good one!
Matt "we have real armor"

BUTTED MAIL
@@MustardSkaven wonder when the next medieval armor testing video will come out... cause it will.
@@puffo7120 Hope it has proper armor. Won't stop proper rounds but it should have a little more durability for sure.
The difference between a musket-ball and a bullet is that a musket-ball has a greater mass and so when it impacts armour the energy is dispersed over a greater area, and because it's a round ball it doesn't "penetrate" as much as just bluntly impact (meaning against flesh it could blow through you, but a solid surface could slow/stop it). But modern bullets are rifled to spin, designed to be pointed/aerodynamic, and the smaller size generally means that the point of impact is more focused so the bullet pierces what it hits. So generally speaking, Medieval Armour for its time was pretty good even against muskets (except at close range where the full velocity had a chance to possibly punch through them), but modern ballistics are just simply designed differently.
Was looking for this comment. No idea why it has 0 replies considering how real it is
That's true to a point, but the armor was too expensive compared to hiring soldiers and creating guns, even then knight armor fell out of fashion (literally lol) because of the English longbow iirc
@@hotturnips7692 No? the armor fell of of fashion because of guns, You underestimate the protection full plate armor gives.
@@axelaugust5552 *overestimate and yes, it was because of the longbow but only partially, the idea of hiring mercenaries became popular at the end of the middle ages with the end of feudalism too
i mean
musket balls could penetrate most armor
however there was bulletproof armor later on
For some reason I can hear Metatron, Shadiversity and Skallagrim yelling in the distance.
*Angry Machicolation noises*

the armor was meant to stop blunt/bladed weapons, not bullets
no way a sword is getting through that lol
@@Terlinilia You'd be surprised at the amount of kinetic energy a sword can carry. And later medieval armors were even bulletproof, fyi. Flintlocks and knights existed at the same time.
There even were some German riders that strapped like six pistols to their chests, charged toward the enemy, unloaded all of their guns and then ran away to reload again.
@@krautworks Medieval armor could stop bullets, especially at the time. But I imagine the kinetic energy from the bullet would still do internal damage to the body, like bulletproof vests today.
I still find it hard to believe a sword is gonna cut through armor. Especially through slicing.
@@Terlinilia Do internal damage how? the armor may dent, but there's enough padding between the steel and the skin that those dents become utterly irrelevant.

Matt: “oh you have to clean guns?”
Brandon: “sounds like a non ak guy problem”
Lol funny thing is I’ve never cleaned my ak in about 12 years and it still operates flawlessly
@Joe Mama I actually just got turned on to some soft body armor that can stop a .30 06 AP round which is awesome being it’s not AR550 plates I was impressed
@Joe Mama my polytech keeps working without cleaning too as long as you don't mind it being heavy, ugly and inaccurate. Oh and the sights are awful. Seriously though, ak's are a good design and they're definitely reliable, i just don't like them. No hate for people that do.
@Joe Mama well to be honest my wife which was my gf at the time 20 years ago and you could buy em brand new bought me a Saiga AK chambered in .223 for $298 brand new in the box and that’s the one I’m referring to......gun has been a beast for all these years and never fails as long as you run good brass which I only run brass or nickel plated in my guns anyway so if you can find a Saiga I’d highly recommend it.Cheapest one I can find nowadays used is around $800
It’s why it took me so long to build AR15s in the many calibers I own of them just because the saiga was so damn reliable and accurate,100 yard shots iron sights can group em within a 3” diameter it’s crazy.

@@kristofantal8801 even in the 14th century, before they had full plate armour, they had handguns
Those guns don't compare today
That is the reason why soldier stopped using armor all together. And even if gunpower never existed, the crossbow was already straining the use of full plate armor in the 100 years wars. The french was using full plate armor knights for their cavalry charge. Crossbow man were able to aim for the weak spot in their armor and go through chainmail.
@@Bleusilences Crossbows didn't defeat plate armour... This is a irrealistic myth. Crossbows used much earlier than plate armour, so if crossbows were ultimate weapons plate armour was never used commonly... There is a reason, why plate armour used commonly until the mid 17th century... Full plate was used until the 16th century but three-quarter plate used after that by heavy cavalry, such as cuirassiers or demi-lancers...

@Benjamin Belile are you mad,? Your arms off!
Well call it a draw.
Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?
Probably been said but armor was always worn over padded undergarments such as a gambeson for the chest. These padded undergarments were what stopped a lot of arrows since armies would design arrors to punch holes in plate armor.
Fun video! Keep it up!
Nope. Padded armor wasn't worn underneath it. This would mean that the plates need to be bigger which would create more costs and weight. Underneath armor you just wear an arming doublet, a simple linen shirt you could tie the plates on. Same goes for chainmail which sat very tight on your body to reduce weight. If there was padded armor worn with metal armor, it was worn above the metal armor because of said reasons
@calencrawford2195 Gambeson was mostly used alone or maybe with a mail hauberk, but then usually over it so you don't need a bigger, more heavy mail shirt. Sometimes also in combination with single plate parts like cuirass and/or spaulders. Cement Mixer is right, the combination with plate armor wasn't really that much of a thing, even when people like Shad want it to be. There is a reason why basically every person who actually knows stuff about medieval armor tends to not like him. There was a phase where a lot of reenactors thought it was a thing and they walked around looking like the Michelin Man in their armor. But since then it moved on and it's now not longer considered accurate.
And no, not every type of textile armor or even padded textile armor is a gambeson in the strict definition of the word. An aketon is not really a gambeson, even when Wikipedia mentions it as a synonym. Wikipedia is sometimes just wrong.

Fun fact, "Bulletproof" came about from the time period when both platemail and muskets were used in war. As "proof" that the armor could stop a bullet, they would shoot it with a musket, often leaving only an indent. That indent was known as a "Bullet Proof", which eventually evolved into the term we use today.

Stacey Gram yeah lol
It's obviously a set just for decoration, it looks like its sword has the blade on sideways.
Real armour would be over twice as thick and more domed outwards on the breastplate, the lack of rivets and thin wire-gauge with that shiny zinc coating on the mail is also a bit of a giveaway.
I was thinking the same thing, this is shit quality armor and shield. I want this test on top quality medieval armor!
Sounds, looks like aluminum. Also, the chain mail was split ring and not riveted. A costly experiment, but I would dearly love to see steel armor, steel riveted ring mail with the padded undergarments.

This armor is 18 gauge steel, which means is about 1,2 mm thick. A real one has 12-14 gauge. That's about 2,5 mm thick.
No sheet metal is stopping a rifle round though. Not those sheet metal safes, truck body panels etc. Also modern steel is much superior to medieval steel.
@@Eric-zs6rd depends on who is making it and where it’s from and also the smith that’s making weapon and armour out of it matters greatly too. Though I do agree with you that the majority of modern steel is better than that of the medieval period it really depends.

1. There are a lot of blacksmith specialists which make it nowadays
2. Just Google "battle of the nations", there is a sport of fighting in medieval way, this tournament is just the biggest one. All of the people you will see wear a modern-made knight armor
3. Hardened plates is a common misconception. There was a short period around the years 1500-1570 when the metal was cemented (hardened on the one surface). All the other aren't really hard, it isn't needed to stop melee weapons (my armor isn't hardened and works perfectly), and later, when the firearms gaind power, hardened armor was breaking instead of stopping bullets. All of this is confirmed by metallurgical studies of a large quantity of museum armors
4. This armor is definitely not a proper one. It isn't made from steel and too thin. Proper armor is 1.5-2mm of steel
modern armor is pure larp@@ВячеславФролов-д7я

I have seen a lot of comments here talking about the RUclips sword community and how terrible that suit of armor is. I thought I'd like to point out a few things.
Just about everyone in the comments section here is a fan of Demoranch, I do not believe any of us are hating against you Matt.
This video is made for entertainment purpose, not educational. There are far too many inaccuracies here.
People have talked about the Megatron and Shadiversity here, I do not believe it will be long before Skallagrim (who has done several firearm vs. armor videos of his own) puts out his own video about this one. These people are also not hating on Matt. Shad even states several time ain his video that he is a fan of the Demolition Ranch. They are merely clearing up some misconceptions shown in this video.
Here is the link to Shad's video:

Here is The Metatron's:

Also, David Guyton, an armorer (posted a comment about it) has sent Matt a bit of properly made armor to shoot, have fun with that Matt!
Underrated af I respect you👏👏👏
Good comment! I agree!
I think its more on the side that many feel that people might believe that the gear in the video is legit quality stuff and so get false information.
@@FrostWolfPack Yeah, the problem lies within the title, because it claims this is about a real suit of armor. Take that out and the statements in the video amounting to the same thing, maybe admit that it's a cheap prop and then there's absolutely nothing wrong with the fun (except maybe the general waste of resources ;)).
Hang like 12 chainmail shirts on something and shoot different bullets through them and see how the bullets shred in slow motion that could be a cool video. Slo mo guys collab? lol
Stop saying “chain” it’s just mail.
I’m honestly surprised how there hasn’t been a demolition ranch/Slo mo collab yet. Hope to see it soon. And that would be cool watching C H A I N M A I L just fly around like confetti after getting railed by a 50.
Oh I hope this happens. As he was showing the chainmail was shredding the 300 winmag, I was thinking what it'd look like shooting at chainmail hanging in slow motion.

Only if its riveted, no point in shooting butted mail
I really really like it when RUclips answers the questions i never asked.

“It actually would stop a sword.”
-smacks armor with sword
“Aaaand, under it...”
-gently pokes the groin
Yeah, no that wasn't a sword, that was a fancy firepoker made to look like a sword.
For example:
1. The blade alignment is 180⁰ off making it not only awkward to look at but offers almost no hand protection with the hilt not covering the leading edge of the "sword".
2. The handle is smooth metal, terrible for a firm grip.
I read this the exact time this part came up
@@FelBurrow exactly. Real LOOKING, definitely not real
Imagine hearing someone put on what sounds like chains, the next thing you see is someone with medival armor say "Parry this you filthy casual.", then seeing him with a Baretta 50 cal.
I’m gonna go on a limb and say it’s a Barrett. Beretta is a type of 9mm handgun. Not trying to be rude, just figured it would help
@Garett Thurmond probably, still felt like being helpful. If it’s helpful.
@@gipsydangeramericasmonster9632 Gonna be honest, im far more interested in seeing this "Baretta 50 cal"
This Man is ready for anything like a medieval raid, zombie invasion, pretty much anything, this Man is a Walking Armory.
Matt “let’s try something bigger”
Me “JUST BRING OUT THE 50 BMG”
I am no expert in medieval, although I have a mild curiosity to it. That being said that armor looks more like you took the inside of multiple cans and forged them to make armor. The chain mail also looks like pop tabs as well.
Its butted mail, so it’s weak as.
@@phoebe_trss9632 makes sense. Thanks
That shield was flimsier than a trash can lid 😂
@@kgisabeast True. When I saw him talk about armor I wasn't expecting high quality stuff but I legit thought he had gotten a Halloween costume at first.
well, it was decorative not an actual armor.
"Real Armor"
I wanna see Skallagrim and Shadiversity react to this 😂😂😂
Tin can strapped over fishnet
Seriously.
First thing I thought about)
Pretty much lol
I mean its clear that chainmail right away is not up to spec, but as for the armor itself I can't tell. I want to see them talk about this too.
fun fact- cannons were used before rifles
I will stand in the suit if I means I can collab with you! 😂
worth it
hahahahahahahahahaha
Same lmao
What if Demolition ran across the street blindly firing at you in a rage, collab tiiiiime! 💆💇
Lies
"It's all metal"
Yeh but wat kind
Looks like a lot of the time it would stop multiple people penetrated by the same rounds till the first line falls flat
That chainmail and armor would be great against a zombie apocalypse. I dont think a zombie would be able to bite you
Metatron brought me here, already knew the answer
great video.
it was shad actually.
@@davidmccormick7419 Metatron did it first tho.
@@davidmccormick7419 both did videos. Shad actually commented on Metatrons video before he released his own.
This is decorative armor... Take a normal one, the result will surprise you
Full plate and a great helm combined together hurts my eyes
@@JG-id5vi I feel you man
@@JG-id5vi the fact that it was a full metal shield hurt me

this comment is way underrated. it deserves more
Ned Kelly of Australia used heavy Iron armor which was successful for quite some time (until it wasn't) but he was only facing off against really early pistols and rifles. I don't think the bullet charges were as powerful as they are now and I don't think the lead bullets had very much penetrating power back then. so the bullets would just squash against heavy Iron armor.
For context the Ned Kelly armor was up against Police Martini Henry Rifles with 480 gr (31g) bullets travelling at 1350 fps (480m/s). This half the speed of a 5.56 nato but 8x the mass. The bullet is also 180gr heavier and just as fast as an .50 Action express from a Desert Eagle So no they where packing pretty strong bullets in the days of Ned Kelly and also no none of the bullets penetrated the armor. Ned Kelly's mistake was to not extend it to the crotch and leg areas where he and his gang got shot multiple times. The other thing to note is that ned Kelly's armor weighed about 90 pounds, which is insanely heavy.
I feel personally attacked.
Literally....

-Mom, I want a real medieval suit of armour!
-We have medieval armour at home.
"Medieval" armour at home:
Suits of armor: I’m ment to stop sword piercings and arrows
Americans: so anyways I started blasting...
You dont come into a country where almost everyone owns guns and not expect some trouble
@@the_one_titan3381 Europe has trouble also but with knifes and stuff like that instead of guns, at least guns are elegant
Actually most armour had trubble with the English longbow and could be shot through until armourers develped extra hard armour with a V shape under the neck to deflect a broken bodkin arrow. Unfortunately for the knights early firearms existed along side heavy bows and crossbows so while the new armour finally stopped heavy arrows, bullets still went through.
@@wesleydaub8002 Various wealthy knights had breastplates made that could stop even heavy caliber guns. That's still only the chest, and the rest of the armor is only good for deflecting shots that don't hit at a flat area. I'll see if I can find some links later. It was tested some time ago.
The armor is not used to stop arrows. Only Swords
Guns were never the reason why they stopped using armors, most weapons have trouble piercing hard materials like armors (unless we talk about large calibers or piercing rounds).
The reason is that armors were very expensive, and could only be afford by rich people like knights or nobility; the modern equivalent are wealthy persons who would never step a foot on a battlefield.
Guns evolved, and so did the armors, but modern armor suits are not common, as the only ones who have the budget to use them are special forces and similar.
Anyway, todays weapons are so powerful, that it doesn't matter if you wear a bulletproof vest capable of stopping a 50 cal. weapon (those exist), the force of the impact is still gonna mess your bones and organs.
shields were typically made from wood, sometimes with hard leather cover. A proper metal shield would be too heavy to use.
exactly
No heavy is light
too heavy to use for a guy who is already wearing armor to begin with atleast.
I hate medivial nerds like this why cant people just enjoy the video

@@jamesroasting7212 They probably could. Maximillian Armor is hardcore shit that was designed to go against (and tested against) early firearms. Though I wouldn't be shooting it with a gun, getting a Maximillian suit made today would probably cost like 50k.
@@jamesroasting7212 They definitely could have
This isnt even a fucking decent one, skalagrim testef a fucking helmet and it stopped everything up to rifles. If you buy cheap garbage of course u get bad results. That mail is proof, its not even riveted.
@@ssumbra5648 Christ not to mention it's not even layered properly. Usually they have another layer under the chainmail, as well usually leather to keep the damn metal from making contact with skin or clothes. We all know that leather alone would stop most of those rounds.
