the archduke was shot in the neck and military issue sapi plates are not made of kevlar they are made from a heavily compressed ceramic compound with a kevlar backing
And yet you both forgot Dragon skin or Dragon armor member that but since they talked trash on the sappy plate they got banned from selling their equipment to the military mercenaries and private contractors could get it. They showed a full mag through an AK four mag through an AR 15 and then they put a grenade on it remember
Jason Flessner "you can take only 1-2 rounds before you really want to put new plates in" Sapi's should always be replaced after any hit as the plate is then compromised. That being said I have personally seen sapi plates that have stopped as many and more than a dozen rounds. THAT being said, you should only ever be hit once and then you get your ass behind cover so you don't get hit again. and finally THAT being said, don't get hit in the first place. ar500 is a fuck ton heavier then our standard interceptor plates
Lol. The intimidation bonus on daedric armor is nice too. Though some people still insist on running their mouth. They usually learn at the end of a matching sword.

Wrong! The modern body armour worn inside plate carriers is NOT out of kevlar but instead either out of steel(level 3 protection) or out of steel-ceramic composite material(level 4 protection) that is capable of stopping AP rounds fired out of a rifle. The soft body armour out of kevlar(level 2A - 3A) worn by police officers can't stop rifle rounds.
The best part of this video is PFC Chitter hopping right back up, with the insurgent muttering "Allah Akbar" the whole time. Good thing he didn't think to take a follow up shot

Metal plates are far more common and useful in modern war. Kevlar requires more and more layers to stop powerful rounds. It also bends and allows more of the force to be applied to a small area on the soldier's chest or back (leading to more injuries). Steel, titanium, and ceramic plates are heavier but way better.
🇨🇦Convinced wwiii was popping off after watching the feb24 invasion of Ukraine on the news, I immediately had a ssab steel fabricator make up a couple plates for me out of hardox500 & paired that up with some short looped pile commercial carpet for an antispall layer on the strike face 🛡️
Doesnt matter cuz very rarely do u worry about a guy charging you with a knife. It could happen im sure but really isnt common enough. This aint CoD where ppl run and get one hit knife kills left and right.
+TheBadbro12 This video says '5 things you didn't know'. Maybe you knew, but I'm sure tons of people don't know about kevlar being a fabric that can only stop bullets but nothing else.

Actually first succesfull body armor was developed by two Poles by the names of Jan Szczepanik and Kazimierz Żegleń in 1901. Their vest was really popular in 1902 and even saved Alfons XIII's (king of Span) life. But it got forgotten pretty quickly due to new bullet types.
+Lolek/Plasica/edmStuff Yes that is correct. But more precise term would be 'ballistic vest' (which is closer to 'bullet resistant' than 'bulletproof'). And for the notice, this wasn't the first ballistic vest, but it was first with confirmed success in saving life. Most of the prizes Jan Szczepanik received was his work with photography and sculpture technique.
+Bran Phillips look at that armor think you can crawl up out of an 8-10 foot deep trnch in it? and carry and successfully use a rifle while wearing it? I have seen footage of them testing them in trenches made in the US at testing grounds. With out a ladder ( which were NOT used when attacking en masse from a trench) it is almost impossible but by the time you get out of the trench the enemy has either moved or is on your position and you would be too tired to fight.
Bear in mind the test was run on relatively smooth grassed field. Try pushing that across 100-200 yards or more of obstacle and debris littered mud. If it was deployed, the likely response would be to put barrages of artillery (or mortars) on on the advancing line or even the trench line since the creepers didn't look to be easily deployed and would be quite obvious. Don't forget you lose command and control over your force when the troops are busy struggling to push those along.
TheWatcher _ I really don't think "racist" is the right word. Remember that pretty much 95% of the time that's an abusable cover-up for minorities so they don't have to cope with their own shortcomings. Derrogatory comments towards specific kinds of people also isn't necessarily racist. For example, I wouldn't necessarily classify a joke about black people as racist on it's own because jokes usually aren't vitriolic, but manipulative of their subject matter (as a joke at it's core is just unexpected absurdity.)
TheArnoldification you can make racist jokes all you want in my opinion, because... *they're just jokes!* but racism is a thing, as in not getting jobs because you are black/asian/whatever or things like that
TheWatcher _ That's really not true either. Ever notice when people throw around those sob stories, they never give sufficient context so the third party can make an educated decision on the matter? It's because minorities use "oppression" and "racism" to their advantage. That in of itself is corrupt. Legitimate oppression or racism is actually pretty rare in developed countries. If you want to see examples of legitimate oppression or racism then visit developing countries. Trust me, it's almost always bullshit.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not wearing his body armor the day he was shot also he was shot in the neck so it would have not done anything even if he was wearing it, but a replica was made and it was proven that a round from the type of pistol that was used would have been stopped by the vest :P (wow thanks GCSE history you have come in use for once)
Archduke's vest protected him from grenades. However, the vest was so degraded from the earlier attack, that the semi-auto pistol round, easily punched through, near his heart. he was killed shortly after his wife. supposedly, his wife's name was the last thing he ever said.
Over a 100 years ago there were also silk vests "A similar vest, made by Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik in 1901, saved the life of Alfonso XIII of Spain when he was shot by an attacker. By 1900, gangsters were wearing $800 silk vests to protect themselves"
Im sure someone else already put this but SAPI plates as fielded in the early years of OIF and Afghanistan were ceramic, not Kevlar. Later in the years, E-SAPI plates featured the same ceramic but with layers of Kevlar surrounding it.
Our military should ware AR500 armor. Like seriously, with it's anti-spalling coating. It's only about 15 pounds. And the AR500 armor is $300 for each one. Not that expensive to the military.
AR500 plates are like $60... but have you ever worn them? They're extremely heavy and are only rated "Level III," whereas ceramic SAPI plates are much lighter and are "Level IV"
Tyler Sentz True ESAPI are basically rated level IV however they are not multi-strike rated. SAPI plates are only rated to level III and again NOT multi-strike. Yes ceramic plates are much lighter however what you gain in lighter weight you loose as soon as the first round hits. Lets not forget that SAPI and ESAPI plates ARE NOT stand alone either. Just food for thought.
Rocky Buttclench some plates don't have ceramic it's only Kevlar .... why did you call him retarded when you are wrong .. they use Kevlar (only Kevlar ) for low caliber rounds and can stop up to a 44 magnum since its a lot of Kevlar and it's woven tightly with it hardened to stop the bullet they only use ceramic to break the bullet so the Kevlar will catch the fragments
+Dave Smith And also made the world experience a piece of more of 70 years and allowed us to develop thongs that out ancestors would not even dream of!
The Soldier shot in the SAPI plate was a member of the 256th IBCT, my parent unit in Iraq 2004-2005. Somewhere in my old pictures I have one of him showing the red mark from the SVD 7.62x54r round, much like the hit of a paintball round on his chest. He's grinning like a possum eating cheesecake for damn good reasons. Personally I was happier when I ditched the full IBA for just plate carriers in Afghanistan later on. Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army, Combat Infantry Sniper, multiple tours
It's great that SAPI plates cover a good amount of torso surface but it does leave your sides exposed, particularly around the armpits, and unfortunately bullets can strike near your heart and lungs if shot at the right angle. I'm curious to know if anything is being done to help prevent this. Does anyone know?
AnimeSunglasses Holy crap! I haven't never heard of no Gunner Ferrik Jurgen. I am sorry about disappointing Mr. Cain, but thanks for the info. I'll hafta check it out!
Ohhh, you're in for a treat! Read the Ciaphas Cain novels by Sandy Mitchell. They're set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but I would happily recommend them to anyone who likes military fiction even the littlest bit!
You can find plates that are bulletproof but it's a slab of titanium you're supposed to put behind the Kevlar it's heavy but it's strong bulletproof but they are super expressive
Too right mate, the "inventor" of that body armour took the Kelly gangs design and make it impractical and ugly. plus he did not even correct the "weak points' of the original design ie the exposed arms and legs.
ConcealedArtLeather your are correct (to funny). I didn't catch it until I was reading your comment and went back to see the video again. Whomever put the rig together, put the pouches on the opposite side. The drag handle is supposed to be on the back and if you look at the back of the current set up in the video, those 2 raised area's on the shoulder are for the quick release buckles and where the emergency release cable goes through, to release the entire rig from the operator in the event of immediate medical care. Good eye.
jmiyagisan ConcealedArtLeather The vest is a CIRAS Maritime and that is the quick-release tab in case you need to rapidly remove the armor off you (i.e vest catching fire or drowning)
sapi plates are not made out of kevlar, they are either made out of ceramics or steel. some plate carriers have kevlar in them but the kevlar is for explosive fragments and will not stop a rifle round like the 7.62×39 from an AK-47.
Some historial facts: Fr. Kazimierz Żegleń used Goodfellow's findings to develop a bulletproof vest made of silk fabric at the end of the 19th century, which could stop the relatively slow rounds from black powder handguns. A similar vest, made by another Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik in 1901, saved the life of Alfonso XIII of Spain when he was shot by an attacker.
The Brewster armor emphasizes the protection of a man's jewels. Unknown to Brewster that during charging enemy lines, most soldier's nuts are up in their throats.
If it were dangerous like that it would be more or less equally dangerous just to fire a gun (re: law of motion 2). A bullet doesn't have so much force as to send you flying back when it hits you.
+Michael V It's a common misconception, The actual plates are made using various materials including: Metals, Ceramics, Kevlar, and sometimes even Plastics. The different Types of plates are used to defend against a wide variety of threats. For example, A steel backed SAPI plate will stop some rifle rounds, but you risk Fragments injuring to Wearer. That's why they use several different materials and layer them, Softer materials on the outside to slow the bullet and catch fragments, with harder materials as the center to provide the stopping power. Either way, you're still going to feel it, the energy transfer alone is going to leave some serious bruises, and possibly break bones if the round in a high enough caliber. EX: Dragonscale armor, Which uses several ioverrlaping plates, is rated to stop a .50 calliber round, but the wearer would still die from the pure kinetic transfer, which would cause fatal internal injuries, and Possibly liquefy organs. Not a fun way to go.
The archduke was shot in the neck, despite having the silk armor under his uniform. He suffered spinal damage but, more fatal was the ruptured jugular. Some say it was a chance shot, while papers at the time, speculated that the shooter knew about the armor.
Raging Agent this isnt even some hardened kevlar. this sapi plate is plate which have level IV balistic protection. that means that this plate is made from ceramic plate and behind it is antifragmentation insert. hope you under stood it 🙂
Rising Awareness III it's hardened and thicker Kevlar and they normally have some sort of ceramic to break the bullet and has the Kevlar catch it ... I would rather trust a metal plate but hey that's only me
What about the TALOS suit that I heard is supposed to be completed in two years now that the military has gotten their hands on carbon nanotube and graphene batteries and that they now say will be able to seal any breaks in the armor using a special ferrofluid?
first soft bullet proof vest was invented in Korea in 1860 and it worked but it was too hot to wear it in summer because it was layers and layers of fabric on top of each other and worked at the time
Well, let's see... The main threat was fragmentation. Even a flak jack would reduce casualties. A set of something like SN42 enmasse would make SMGs hard pressed to cause damage.
ahaa haa.. I wanted to hear what the guy said after the PFC got back up and ran around the Humv.. "Alaah Akbar Alaah Akbar Alaah Akbar Alaah Akbaaaaaaah shit!"
+ung427 Basically nothing much...they chant allahu akbar for a while until the PFC called for backup and two vehicles roll towards the location of the shooter, which was a hollowed out car with a hole in a door. They then try to drive off but the engine doesn´t start. It finally starts and they roll off being pursued by two humvees...they didn´t get far. Oh and yeah, it was two dudes, a shooter and his getaway driver/spotter.
Im surprise they didnt talk about the dragon skin armour that will stop 762 x39 or 556 greentip or 308. and its not a massive plate in the front and the back.
here 2 in libya but not cuz they're efficient when it comes to the fire power....buuut they are aloooot cheaper and the ammo is way more common... and unlike most of the other firearms u can really shoot from anywhere and it won't jam ,and u know how dusty those areas are ,
As did I we r weird together do u to find it funny how many comments people leave where they clear are ilinformed and have no real idea what they are talking about that pisses me off does it you
What about balls? Without protection on my balls i would not even go to combat , i mean if i am shot in head or hearth i will probably die in secend , buy imagine if you were shot in balls the agonyyy you may even survive but is it worth living after that ... ( o_o)
There's nothing that can really be done there. Sorry, but you can keep fighting with a missing nad. Can't keep fighting with a baseball size hole in your chest.
Getting shot in the balls is a real problem.That's why US is working on a project for regenerating nuts in wounded soldiers. Which other country thinks of that?
Modern day plate carriers that are issued to our Armed Forces have a deattachable sections for the upper arms, back below the waist, and the groin area. these are only designed to stop fragmentation. Imagine running with the crotch piece on and having a heavy plate swinging and hitting you there. It might not stop a bullet, but some protection is better than shrapnel in your balls. To answer your question though, life would not be worth living though without your balls... I do agree...
They mix armor with the mech suit jobs... that would be wild. People could basically be a walking tank. Waiting for energy weapons... phased plasma rifle in 40 watt range.
To the best of my knowledge the Arch-Duke was wearing a tunic made of layers of silk that were reportedly able to stop bullets, It worked well enough for a demonstration by the man who created it, however, the Arch-Duke was shot in the neck by a Serbian assassin, and this was the wound that killed him.
Kevlar plate is inaccurate. The vest itself may be kevlar to provide level 3a, however the plates are either ceramic or metal to provide level 5. There is such a thing as an all in one plate with kevlar over the metal.
id say that the biggest jumps in body armor came in the medival ages in the form of plate armor since you where actually invincible to commonly used weapons and still quite mobile
These are great videos, thanks! The duke either didn't have his armor on or he was hit outside the zone that the armor protected. Probably wasn't wearing it.
The best body armor would be a combination of things, either be it composites (which is superior) or alloys and all backed with padding (the one thing people seem to forget the most about).
Ooo - Ooo! I know why! Silk may be stronger than steel in tensile strength, but it stretches too much. So getting hit by a bullet, while wearing a silk vest against your skin, still allows nearly all the kinetic energy to transfer to the body and cause damage. Fun fact: In another documentary I've seen, ancient Japanese horsemen/warriors wore a silk "parachute" on their backs that could stop an arrow from hitting them. While at gallop, the silk billowed out like an air bag. Any arrows would hit the silk, get slowed down as the silk wrapped itself around the arrow. The tensile strength of the silk prevented the fabric from separating, while it's 'stretchability' worked in it's favor to "capture" the arrow.
"A SAPI plate can stop a 7.62 x 39 ball (Standard AK round) from as close as 10 feet away". I quietly LOLed as my AR500 Level IV strike face plate can stop an AP (Armor-Piercing) .30-06 from point blank range. Only costs $170 roughly for a plate.
Tokarev 7.62 with steel bullets penetrates kevlar without a problem, that is high pierce but low damage, so it is used mainly to wound a soldier, it isnt deadly as 9mm wich cant penetrate armour but will kill without it.
I'm not sure whether or not someone answered the question at the end of the video. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot in the neck by Gavrilo Princip (Bosnian Serb). Bullet was not stopped because he didn't have any protection around his neck. Princip also shot and killed Franz's wife Sophia but he said that he didn't want to kill her.
Another thing that scientist are developing are spider silk clothing. I think that this is pretty cool because one strand of it can stop a bee going 40 mph. Not great against a high powered rifle and very expensive but it would give a higher chance of living from a pistol at a certain range.
Brewster armor and the creeper tanks look like they belong in a Monty Python skit.

the archduke was shot in the neck and military issue sapi plates are not made of kevlar they are made from a heavily compressed ceramic compound with a kevlar backing
Yup that's why you can take only 1-2 rounds before you really want to put new plates in and why ar500 armor is superior but ways a little more
Jason Flessner ar 500 weighs a shitload more and you shouldn't be standing there letting them empty their machineguns on you
And yet you both forgot Dragon skin or Dragon armor member that but since they talked trash on the sappy plate they got banned from selling their equipment to the military mercenaries and private contractors could get it. They showed a full mag through an AK four mag through an AR 15 and then they put a grenade on it remember

The Brewster armor looks like it would deflect rounds into the wearers arms.
I've heard that was specifically an issue with similar types of armor. I dunno about Brewster though, probably.
Looks like it. I'm sure at least 1 test was done where the user took a round to the arm.
better than taking it in the vitals
considering battlefield medicine of that day, not really :( I'd rather take one to the head
Tregeta Very true. At that time, I'd rather take an 8mm round to the heart or center mass than bleed out while wearing that steel plate for 4 minutes.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not wearing his body armor the day he was shot also he was shot in the neck so it would have not done anything even if he was wearing it, but a replica was made and it was proven that a round from the type of pistol that was used would have been stopped by the vest :P (wow thanks GCSE history you have come in use for once)
I was thinking the same thing. Kudos.
BizzarFish1 Plus the sniper usually use 7.62x54r and not 7.62x39
Herrdesrings He was shot with a Handgun... (FN Model 1910) and i think you have the wrong comment string aswell XD!
BizzarFish1 I believe it was a 32acp. A very low powered round. I think one of my silk shirts could stop it. JK
Steve McCormick awww don't dis. I've got a colt 32. Good stuff.
Archduke's vest protected him from grenades. However, the vest was so degraded from the earlier attack, that the semi-auto pistol round, easily punched through, near his heart. he was killed shortly after his wife. supposedly, his wife's name was the last thing he ever said.

"5 Things you don't know about body armor" Also them: "XY is producing an Iron Man suit" Yeah, I definetly didn't know that about *body armor*
3:06 FLUGZÄUGEABWÄHRKANONÄE :DDDD
Haha that sounds so stupid to a german :DD
The Archduke died because he wasn't wearing a PT belt with his protective vest.
That's it, you solves the puzzle. If the troops over seas would just wear PT belts on patrol we would have no more casualties.
Taticallyfluffy Marine I know you said it as sarcasm.....but you would be surprised how many car accidents our troops have.
Over a 100 years ago there were also silk vests "A similar vest, made by Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik in 1901, saved the life of Alfonso XIII of Spain when he was shot by an attacker. By 1900, gangsters were wearing $800 silk vests to protect themselves"
do you know the answer to the question???
Im sure someone else already put this but SAPI plates as fielded in the early years of OIF and Afghanistan were ceramic, not Kevlar. Later in the years, E-SAPI plates featured the same ceramic but with layers of Kevlar surrounding it.
Our military should ware AR500 armor. Like seriously, with it's anti-spalling coating. It's only about 15 pounds. And the AR500 armor is $300 for each one. Not that expensive to the military.
Three hundred bucks for a damn plate of hardened steel
AR500 plates are like $60... but have you ever worn them? They're extremely heavy and are only rated "Level III," whereas ceramic SAPI plates are much lighter and are "Level IV"
Tyler Sentz
True ESAPI are basically rated level IV however they are not multi-strike rated. SAPI plates are only rated to level III and again NOT multi-strike. Yes ceramic plates are much lighter however what you gain in lighter weight you loose as soon as the first round hits. Lets not forget that SAPI and ESAPI plates ARE NOT stand alone either. Just food for thought.

I've never heard of a Kevlar plates before 4:16. I thought it was just steel or ceramic.
There's armor made of both
There are level IIIA trauma plates that are given to wear under soft armor to reduce blunt force trauma and thats about it.
Fuck off Rick, we know your not the real one
kevlar is ceramic plates actually
Rocky Buttclench some plates don't have ceramic it's only Kevlar .... why did you call him retarded when you are wrong .. they use Kevlar (only Kevlar ) for low caliber rounds and can stop up to a 44 magnum since its a lot of Kevlar and it's woven tightly with it hardened to stop the bullet they only use ceramic to break the bullet so the Kevlar will catch the fragments
because the duke of austria was shot in the head
In the neck actually. He died a few minutes after his wife who was hit by a ricochet in the stomach. Thank you history class!
Just another reason why globalism is so dangerous. It started both world wars and every proxy war thereafter.

If i was in the army and i saw some nigga trying to sneak up on me in one of those creeper tanks i woulda died laughing 😂😂
The Soldier shot in the SAPI plate was a member of the 256th IBCT, my parent unit in Iraq 2004-2005. Somewhere in my old pictures I have one of him showing the red mark from the SVD 7.62x54r round, much like the hit of a paintball round on his chest. He's grinning like a possum eating cheesecake for damn good reasons. Personally I was happier when I ditched the full IBA for just plate carriers in Afghanistan later on.
Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army, Combat Infantry Sniper, multiple tours
It's great that SAPI plates cover a good amount of torso surface but it does leave your sides exposed, particularly around the armpits, and unfortunately bullets can strike near your heart and lungs if shot at the right angle. I'm curious to know if anything is being done to help prevent this. Does anyone know?
kevlar plate? no sir you are wrong they are either ar500 steel plates or cermanic plates not kevlar
Kevlar is the softbody armour that implemented in the back of the ar500 in case of penetration or you use Kevlar only for pistol defence.
The best body armor is body odor.
You forgot to attribute your quote to Gunner Ferrik Jurgen, and it ends, "...and faith in the Emperor."
Commisar Cain is disappointed in you.

Holy crap! I haven't never heard of no Gunner Ferrik Jurgen. I am sorry about disappointing Mr. Cain, but thanks for the info. I'll hafta check it out!
Ohhh, you're in for a treat! Read the Ciaphas Cain novels by Sandy Mitchell. They're set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but I would happily recommend them to anyone who likes military fiction even the littlest bit!

Ok, thanks!
best body armor ..is PEACE.
B/C HE DID NOT BUY FROM AR500.COM.......
Ahhh back when military channel and cable both, we’re still worth watching.
I'd like to see a breakdown of the body armor setup you are wearing on 4:00. Be advised. thanks for the History Lesson sir.
Bullet resistant vest, not bullet proof kevlar.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
You can find plates that are bulletproof but it's a slab of titanium you're supposed to put behind the Kevlar
it's heavy but it's strong bulletproof but they are super expressive
or simply get Ar500 steel plates...
+Jacob Beaumont steel is heavier and weaker than titanium it might be cheaper but it takes a lot less to do the same
+Blayne “Ghost” Peterson you stupid? Ar500 is stronger, just a bit hebier. AR550 is the best.
3:04 Oh i love, when english speaking people try to speak german ;D sounds so funny
This guy serious? Has he not listened every bad guy in every movie every made?
you forgot about power armor
rly?
rly?
thegamingdovah yeah
Yeah, The Hellcat!
The creeper tank may have actually worked, the enemy would probably have fallen over dying of laughter.
SAPI plates are not kevlar inserts.... They're Boron Carbide. The vest itself usually contains kevlar cloth that the plates sit on.
Ned Kelly and his gang developed bullet proof armour long before ww1. If you don't believe me, look it up.
Too right mate, the "inventor" of that body armour took the Kelly gangs design and make it impractical and ugly. plus he did not even correct the "weak points' of the original design ie the exposed arms and legs.
Arch duke was shot in the head so ni vest was gonna help him
Why does he have his body armor on backwards? Drag handle should be behind the neck, right?
Not necessarily. Depends on the design of the vest.
ConcealedArtLeather your are correct (to funny). I didn't catch it until I was reading your comment and went back to see the video again. Whomever put the rig together, put the pouches on the opposite side. The drag handle is supposed to be on the back and if you look at the back of the current set up in the video, those 2 raised area's on the shoulder are for the quick release buckles and where the emergency release cable goes through, to release the entire rig from the operator in the event of immediate medical care. Good eye.
that is the quick release handle, not the drag handle.
jmiyagisan ConcealedArtLeather The vest is a CIRAS Maritime and that is the quick-release tab in case you need to rapidly remove the armor off you (i.e vest catching fire or drowning)
Question: What's holding his rifle? Doesn't look like a sling.
sapi plates are not made out of kevlar, they are either made out of ceramics or steel. some plate carriers have kevlar in them but the kevlar is for explosive fragments and will not stop a rifle round like the 7.62×39 from an AK-47.
Some historial facts: Fr. Kazimierz Żegleń used Goodfellow's findings to develop a bulletproof vest made of silk fabric at the end of the 19th century, which could stop the relatively slow rounds from black powder handguns. A similar vest, made by another Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik in 1901, saved the life of Alfonso XIII of Spain when he was shot by an attacker.
The Brewster armor emphasizes the protection of a man's jewels. Unknown to Brewster that during charging enemy lines, most soldier's nuts are up in their throats.
Sure body armor can stop bullets but it can't stop the force of impact that can kill you .
It's the change of force that kills people on many things, like car accidents and what not.
+Cesar Sanchez
That's right. If you can increase the time interval that the force is applied over then you increase your chances of survival.
+Deadlyaztec27
The challenge here is that you're trying to do that on a compact accessory.
+Cesar Sanchez
True, but it's not as difficult as it sounds. The straps in construction helmets to the exact same thing.
If it were dangerous like that it would be more or less equally dangerous just to fire a gun (re: law of motion 2). A bullet doesn't have so much force as to send you flying back when it hits you.
I thought the SAPI plates were Ceramic?
+Michael V They are.
The plates themselves. There's also kevlar.
+Michael V
It's a common misconception, The actual plates are made using various materials including: Metals, Ceramics, Kevlar, and sometimes even Plastics. The different Types of plates are used to defend against a wide variety of threats.
For example, A steel backed SAPI plate will stop some rifle rounds, but you risk Fragments injuring to Wearer. That's why they use several different materials and layer them, Softer materials on the outside to slow the bullet and catch fragments, with harder materials as the center to provide the stopping power.
Either way, you're still going to feel it, the energy transfer alone is going to leave some serious bruises, and possibly break bones if the round in a high enough caliber.
EX: Dragonscale armor, Which uses several ioverrlaping plates, is rated to stop a .50 calliber round, but the wearer would still die from the pure kinetic transfer, which would cause fatal internal injuries, and Possibly liquefy organs. Not a fun way to go.
+Jacob L
*****
The kinetic trauma would cause internal bleeding, and basically liquify organs
+Jacob L how can it stop a .50
Agent Colsin! What are you doing? The Avengers need you! Just kidding,I love the page. Keep it up
The archduke was shot in the neck, despite having the silk armor under his uniform. He suffered spinal damage but, more fatal was the ruptured jugular. Some say it was a chance shot, while papers at the time, speculated that the shooter knew about the armor.
and now aloha snackbars believe they fight a american zombie army :)
It's 2019 and that new body armor is not out yet :(
Soft armor (Kevlar) that stops a rifle round? wtf?
It's hardened Kevlar. Not the fabric kind.
Raging Agent this isnt even some hardened kevlar. this sapi plate is plate which have level IV balistic protection. that means that this plate is made from ceramic plate and behind it is antifragmentation insert. hope you under stood it 🙂
Rising Awareness III it's hardened and thicker Kevlar and they normally have some sort of ceramic to break the bullet and has the Kevlar catch it ... I would rather trust a metal plate but hey that's only me
What about the TALOS suit that I heard is supposed to be completed in two years now that the military has gotten their hands on carbon nanotube and graphene batteries and that they now say will be able to seal any breaks in the armor using a special ferrofluid?
first soft bullet proof vest was invented in Korea in 1860 and it worked but it was too hot to wear it in summer because it was layers and layers of fabric on top of each other and worked at the time
I'm curious how many lives would have been saved in ww1 if they gave them a simple vest with steel plates.
Well, let's see...
The main threat was fragmentation. Even a flak jack would reduce casualties.
A set of something like SN42 enmasse would make SMGs hard pressed to cause damage.
ahaa haa.. I wanted to hear what the guy said after the PFC got back up and ran around the Humv.. "Alaah Akbar Alaah Akbar Alaah Akbar Alaah Akbaaaaaaah shit!"
+ung427 Basically nothing much...they chant allahu akbar for a while until the PFC called for backup and two vehicles roll towards the location of the shooter, which was a hollowed out car with a hole in a door. They then try to drive off but the engine doesn´t start.
It finally starts and they roll off being pursued by two humvees...they didn´t get far.
Oh and yeah, it was two dudes, a shooter and his getaway driver/spotter.
i think women armor in games is better only protects the privates
nice lol
Yea........small circle plate around the chest...........180 defends for female.............full body armour for male.........100 defends.....yeay
nd u can c de boobis
That WW1 armored bucket head looked terrifying.
Im surprise they didnt talk about the dragon skin armour that will stop 762 x39 or 556 greentip or 308. and its not a massive plate in the front and the back.
DS is terrible. Please, we don't talk about that failure here. We are respectable people.
The body armor did not work because the shooter had the stopping power perk on, duh.
Max S.F. armour piercing perk.....does more damage to armoured target
Hum, I tough the body armor was useless until I saw that solder get up after getting hit by a sniper.
+Alfredo Briseno i wouldn't really rely on it
that was probably "at the best" a dragunov from out of it's killer range XD
+tayeb mabruk whats wrong with a dragunov
it's kinda weaker than most of the snipers with much lesser range ?
hmm i didn't know that. they seem to be used a lot in middle east
here 2 in libya but not cuz they're efficient when it comes to the fire power....buuut they are aloooot cheaper and the ammo is way more common... and unlike most of the other firearms u can really shoot from anywhere and it won't jam ,and u know how dusty those areas are ,
Heh, knew about all of this.. I must be wierd
As did I we r weird together do u to find it funny how many comments people leave where they clear are ilinformed and have no real idea what they are talking about that pisses me off does it you
Another video that proves this series should be called, "5 things you already know about military stuff."
Yes, an episode where I learned 5 things - good report.
What about balls?
Without protection on my balls i would not even go to combat , i mean if i am shot in head or hearth i will probably die in secend , buy imagine if you were shot in balls the agonyyy you may even survive but is it worth living after that ... ( o_o)
There's nothing that can really be done there. Sorry, but you can keep fighting with a missing nad. Can't keep fighting with a baseball size hole in your chest.
Getting shot in the balls is a real problem.That's why US is working on a project for regenerating nuts in wounded soldiers.
Which other country thinks of that?
Modern day plate carriers that are issued to our Armed Forces have a deattachable sections for the upper arms, back below the waist, and the groin area. these are only designed to stop fragmentation. Imagine running with the crotch piece on and having a heavy plate swinging and hitting you there. It might not stop a bullet, but some protection is better than shrapnel in your balls.
To answer your question though, life would not be worth living though without your balls... I do agree...
I doubt there are military rifle rounds that make a baseball size hole in you.
You would be disinterested in women and could pursue science without distraction.
When one door closes others open.
They mix armor with the mech suit jobs... that would be wild. People could basically be a walking tank. Waiting for energy weapons...

7.62x39 is an intermediate cartridge. How about a full power round like 7.62x54R?
5:56 It’s 2019, still waiting for those suits lol
eyy buddy sorry to tell you they still havent made any
The euphoric feeling of taking off a heavy and sweaty ass IOTV
It's 2018, where's the armor at?
To the best of my knowledge the Arch-Duke was wearing a tunic made of layers of silk that were reportedly able to stop bullets, It worked well enough for a demonstration by the man who created it, however, the Arch-Duke was shot in the neck by a Serbian assassin, and this was the wound that killed him.
Kevlar plate is inaccurate. The vest itself may be kevlar to provide level 3a, however the plates are either ceramic or metal to provide level 5. There is such a thing as an all in one plate with kevlar over the metal.
id say that the biggest jumps in body armor came in the medival ages in the form of plate armor since you where actually invincible to commonly used weapons and still quite mobile
Finally, a step-by-step close to a Super Soldier program. I pray to be their first.
Military.Com: The archduke was wearing a protective vest, but he didn't survive it, do you know why?
Dentist: ITS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T FLOSS ENOUGH
These are great videos, thanks! The duke either didn't have his armor on or he was hit outside the zone that the armor protected. Probably wasn't wearing it.
Anybody know what type of rig that is at 4:08 ?
The best body armor would be a combination of things, either be it composites (which is superior) or alloys and all backed with padding (the one thing people seem to forget the most about).
Ooo - Ooo! I know why! Silk may be stronger than steel in tensile strength, but it stretches too much. So getting hit by a bullet, while wearing a silk vest against your skin, still allows nearly all the kinetic energy to transfer to the body and cause damage.
Fun fact: In another documentary I've seen, ancient Japanese horsemen/warriors wore a silk "parachute" on their backs that could stop an arrow from hitting them. While at gallop, the silk billowed out like an air bag. Any arrows would hit the silk, get slowed down as the silk wrapped itself around the arrow. The tensile strength of the silk prevented the fabric from separating, while it's 'stretchability' worked in it's favor to "capture" the arrow.
"A SAPI plate can stop a 7.62 x 39 ball (Standard AK round) from as close as 10 feet away". I quietly LOLed as my AR500 Level IV strike face plate can stop an AP (Armor-Piercing) .30-06 from point blank range. Only costs $170 roughly for a plate.
SAPI Plates are not made from Kevlar....they are made from ceramics or high density metals...depending on the protective level.
Does anyone know what plate carrier he is wearing for demonstration of the sapi plates?
your lazy logo looks almost identical to the old GM logo, but without the G. (remember the metal seat belt buckle imprint?)
Tokarev 7.62 with steel bullets penetrates kevlar without a problem, that is high pierce but low damage, so it is used mainly to wound a soldier, it isnt deadly as 9mm wich cant penetrate armour but will kill without it.
I like that rig sit-up you wearing on the video where I can find one like that?
quick question - if your infantry can you buy your own plate carrier or is that just a SF thing
Not sure if I would take those creeper tanks seriously if I was in a trench, or if I would think they're setting up for a puppet show.
That soldier had a huge bruise after being shot! Ive seen pictures and it was pretty gnarly.
+JustGamer better a huge bruise then an empty chest cavity
Oh, can't wait till Warrior Web is available at local surplus store!
They are not kevlar. The vest as a soft kevlar body panel with ceramic SAPI inserts. The plates use the same armor technology as the Abrams tank.
I'm not sure whether or not someone answered the question at the end of the video. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot in the neck by Gavrilo Princip (Bosnian Serb). Bullet was not stopped because he didn't have any protection around his neck. Princip also shot and killed Franz's wife Sophia but he said that he didn't want to kill her.
PFC Chitter and a few other soldiers also went on to capture the sniper and camera man.
Another thing that scientist are developing are spider silk clothing. I think that this is pretty cool because one strand of it can stop a bee going 40 mph. Not great against a high powered rifle and very expensive but it would give a higher chance of living from a pistol at a certain range.
The creeper tank looked hilarious ahahaha
