    I'm a bit on the ancient side, being 72 years old, but I really wonder what the two most common rounds of WW-II would do to that body armor. Of course I am talking about the 30-06 and the 8mm Mauser.

    I love this test. There is an argument between AK and AR users over which bullet is better, but I think your test reveals a different perspective. Do you want Velocity, or do you want Joules? From what I learned, 5.56 will concentrate more energy in a smaller area and dump energy very fast. The 7.62 seems to get its penetration from its own mass but does not explode as the smaller round would. Just overall fascinating.

      @HellZReaper134 3 года назад +1

      There is a point where the velocity doesn't matter and the energy alone kills you. It's why IIIA says it stops a .44 mag and 12ga slug, because it will stop more, but it's a moot point when the bad guy has 10ga or a .454.

      Yeah, you’re still gonna be dead! Just from flying bone fragments puncturing your heart, lungs and arteries instead of bullet holes.

People die in car accidents from hitting the steering wheel causing chest trauma and internal bleeding.

    For what you said about velocity/mass, only applies to steel. Velocity kills steel, mass is better against against ceramic/composite plates. Of course material of the round plays a huge part. And any increase in velocity, with more mass is gonna be better. But that’s the gist of it

      I wonder though, are there any tried and true metrics for surviving blunt force trauma from ballistic plates? I feel confident that the thick heavy AR500 plates probably mitigate any severe blunt trauma. But when we get to these light/flexible plates, I'd think simple penetration tests aren't enough. Granted, the plate is obviously better than having holes poked in you, but it'd be nice to know if you're still gonna die from beaten and brused organs.
