What is with everyone saying chainmail doesnt protect against piercing attacks?? There's a reason knights used it to fill gaps in their plate armor. A form of it is still used to protect against shark bikes, don't think sharks are slashing with their teeth.
Sooo, a Kazaghand? Why a separate maille if you can sandwich it between two quilted layers? Bam, you got a stabproof jacket. It works, saved Salahuddin al Ayyubi from getting shivved by the Assassins.

Riveted Titanium maille is the way to go if you can afford it. A lot of Pros in the Buhurt tourneys opt for it since it is lighter than steel and stronger as well. Modern soft armor layered ontop that is form fitting to your coat can provide some protection from small arms fire and certainly any knife or machete attacks.
@@PKTraceurwhy would they? It stops cuts and a knife sash won’t do much damage from blunt force trauma, especially if it’s going through a coat or something And a stab needs a decently shaped stabbing point, plus a decently strong knife and umph to get through decent chainmail Though a hard stab would definitely bruise and could break bone even if it doesn’t pierce
@@HistoricalWeapons yea I’ve been bit by a mastiff before, had to get stitches. Luckily it wasn’t tryna attack me n it was a quick bite, but I def would have loved to have some chainmail on at the time 😂
The problem is; chainmail doesn’t stop piercing attacks, you will be wounded/killed by everything that isn’t a slash. And almost no-one is going to slash you with a knife. If you watch any knife attack video; they’re always going for the stab. As for other weapons; I wore chainmail to an event a couple of months back, someone gave me a gut shot with a steel HEMA sword edge to demonstrate its protection, it wouldn’t have opened my intestines, but it f***ing hurt.
The mail not stopping piercing attacks is really a complete myth. It wouldnt be used for about 2 thousand years, on at least 3 continents, on battlefields dominated by thrusting weapons if it didn't stop them. Especially since it usually cost small fortune and was extremely time consuming to make. It was also worn secretly, on the streets like shown here. Especially before duels, with very much stabing rapiers and smallswords. The myth is mostly fueled by modern tests made mostly with mass produced Indian mail, that's almost always of very light weave with very thin wire and bad riveting. But here's example of pretty heavy mail stopping some heavy stabing attacks. ruclips.net/video/oNkLWBTowZg/видео.htmlsi=K-GOmr4RaXha0otn The test starts around 29m 40s, but channel's owner lecture about the subject is also very interesting. In general, the degree of protection will vary greatly depending on weave of the mail and nature of stabbing attack in question but we indeed have sourcess about mail stopping hard thrusting attacks, including lance strikes.
Chainmail does stop piercing attacks just not as well as cuts, this is an over exaggeration There’s a reason why rondel tagged and lots of mid-late medieval spear tips become very very squared off, not even sharp just hard edges going to a good point Same thing goes for lances It’s so they didn’t break, crack or fold over when stabbing chainmail And even with all this decent quality chainmail needed a hard stab to get through it
Chainmail definitely is effective but when it comes down to slashing weapons. Weapons used in a piercing manner have a much higher probability of penetrating the chainmail after breaking some of the links. It really is its main weakness. I think that having overlapping lighter plates similar to armor worn by Vlad the impaler's forces might work equally well
@@HistoricalWeapons 100% definitely not all are made to deal with something like chain now. The wider the blade the less of a chance it has a penetrating deeply. However I still would not feel comfortable even with the knife that you showed at the beginning of the video If say a 260 lb man drove that at full force into my sternum. But I do think that your video does cover a great topic. I think that chainmail could be developed in a modern form and mixed with ballistic fibers and other materials. Perhaps a stronger but lighter composite metal could make it more durable yet lighter for the wearer.
@@HistoricalWeapons you know the type of chainmail that Vlad the impaler used right? Where it had those plates on top of the chainmail to protect more vital areas of the torso from piercing strikes. Something like that I think would be very effective
It's not. There's a reason European style plate armor never caught on in places like China. It's highly restrictive. The less protective ones that are less restrictive then defeats the whole better protection premise. Thick lamellar "laced" or more like riveted with steel loops are more protective especially with mail armpit guards. Almost no plate armor set has effective armpit protection

In the US your best defense is a better offence. It helps that most criminals here are allergic to ranges so your offence doesn't need to be perfect.
@@homeonegreen9 so carry a automatic shotgun?

@@HistoricalWeapons true. The cloaked bandit is in for a real surprise when he tries to put a dagger in your back
im pretty sure german swat police still use chainmail when dealing with knifemen, you can find pictures online.

"Knifemen" huh a new word to describe them
I definitely buy a chain mail lined jacket
Going for a walk in Birmingham be like
I, for one, think wearing armor should be in fashion again.

Great idea
This method is for someone without quilting skills

Sounds like a rich man’s toy
The chainmail will protect against Slash attacks. Stab Attacks may not be Lethal but will definitely hurt.
They can and will most likely still be lethal.
Depends on the knife
@@PKTraceurwhy would they? It stops cuts and a knife sash won’t do much damage from blunt force trauma, especially if it’s going through a coat or something

Bonus points when wearing maile... It's Free weight training!
If you get micro-mail it doesn't even chafe!
Seems heavy but at least it's breathable
Yeah but helps you building stronger body and it’s fun
@@HistoricalWeapons yeah and great protection
How people in UK are gonna dress soon😂
'Babe we've sat down to eat and its hot, why won't you take off your jacket?'
Hahaha my warhammer laugh intensified (in all seriousness this is a cool video)
Butchers Chainmail is really good. Designed to be worn all day.
Man what’s going on in Canada that you need to wear chainmail under your clothes? 😂😮
Justin Trudeau.
I wonder how well chainmail defends against a dog attack such as a pit-bull.
Interesting. Id imagine much better than nothing, and those rings ain’t so tasty
@@HistoricalWeapons yea I’ve been bit by a mastiff before, had to get stitches. Luckily it wasn’t tryna attack me n it was a quick bite, but I def would have loved to have some chainmail on at the time 😂
They’d go for your forearms, ankle, groin and neck
They use mail against sharks, and it's very fine, light mail, so it doesn't hinder you in the water.
Can't imagine it working any worse against dogs.
What if you live in a hot environment?
Hope you 100 meter dash is fast
Better to just stitch the mail under a coat. With a layer of something else as padding
That takes sewing skills haha nope
@@HistoricalWeapons Or rivet it under a coat with a tool 🤣

It is much better than your skin and it won’t penetrate deep enough to cause lethal casualties as long as you’re using proper mail
