@@lostwanderingdriftersomebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it has to do with the arrowhead creating an under pressure that allows it to slide right through after piercing
@@TbV-st8efthat's not at all why, because they aren't. In fact they're almost always used in urban combat engagements where civilians may be present because the round is far less likely to go through the target and into a civilian near them, and they don't usually penetrate walls. They're designed to open and "blossom" inside a person, turning a solid piece of metal into lots of tiny pieces that lose kinetic energy very fast. And when they hit a wall, they often break apart harmlessly. Hollow point ammunition is not prohibited by the Geneva Convention and I don't know where that rumor started.
The "hollow-point" arrow works because it uses the initial impulse of the arrows energy to "sheer" an circular opening for the rest of the arrow to travel through, wheras even the narowest penetration tips are "squeezing" through the metal which continues to constrict the arrow and absorb the energy after its through.
Which means it is a bit of an "all or nothing" approach - if it has enough energy to penetrate, it will penetrate with apparent ease. But if it doesn't have enough, it will likely bounce off. Unlike a conventional arrow, which will often partially embed. This makes it useful for penetrating armor and shields, but less useful for, for instance, hunting large animals; where you want to maximize damage to deeper tissue in a target that you will not fully penetrate.
Yep, this was exactly my thought. The hollow point is the only arrowhead has a leading edge that all contacts at the same time. The rest have to apply a deformation continuously over time that at least partly is supported the material in the shield surrounding the puncture region
I’m not an archery guy but I find it funny that the more “complex” and “advanced” arrows did worse than the “simple” ones. I have henceforth been informed it’s for hunting
Its because thats not what they were designed for. The "simplistic" arrows were designed to pierce armor, the "complex" arrows were designed to tear flesh I'm also not an archery guy.
The more complex arrows are for game animals. The wide blades are designed specifically to create a larger wound cavitation than simply punching a hole into the target.
The shield shown here would most likely get pierced by a strong firearm, except maybe weak pistols or long range shotgun blasts. It looks very thin and un-reinforced. These are more for blocking bottles/rocks, fists and sticks/improvised melee weapons. In an active shooting situation they would bring kevlar and/or ceramic plated ballistic shields, not a thin metal plate. Judging by the size of this shield compared to the arrow, i would guess this shield is used together with a baton. I could be wrong though.
It's not about whether it's blunt or not. All of them are sharp. However, the arrowhead shape matters. Most of the arrowhead will leave either a hole in the shape of a flat line (for the flat arrows) or a triangular hole. However, the shaft of the arrow is cylindrical, which means it requires a circular hole for the entire arrow to pass through. Well, guess which arrowhead leaves behind a circular hole? Also, consider that one arrowhead like the blade inside a paper holepuncher. It's plenty sharp.
That shield is designed for airsoft, not actual riots. I'm not surprised the arrows performed the way they did. Except the hollow point arrow. I didn't expect that one to zip straight through it.

Didn’t expect that either, but I guess because the tip was larger in diameter than the rest of the arrow, when the tip penetrated there was nothing to slow down the rest of the arrow.
@@AndreasBrOlesenI think it would have to penetrate the shield in the first place, otherwise it'd just be completely stopped. And why it was able to penetrate the shield is still not clear to me. 🤷🏻
*"lower the surface area, lower the drag, more streamlined, more damage, that's how the aerodynamics works, my friend"* -Sun tzu, the art of penetration
Its actually the best for penetration through solid media. It cuts a hole big enough for the shaft of the arrow. The other broad tips cut with a small point, and the hole is to small for the arrow.
To explain: The arrow was shaped like a borehole drill with sharp bits at the edges, meaning it was made to make holes. The other arrows, made for flesh, rip/slice open the material, and like swords, get caught/stop with enough friction rubbing on the sides of the blade. The 'blunt' arrow literally drills a perfect circle, and since the shaft is smaller, there is no friction whatsoever to slow the arrow down. The tradeoff for this shield penetration would be it wont be doing much damage to the guy behind it as opposed to the bladed arrows since it'll be taking that chunk of circular metal it cut with it, effectively making it blunt
Very nice explanation thanks, though I disagree about the one that cleanly penetrated through. Anyone getting skewered by that arrow will have a bad day no matter what. 😅
Couldn’t have described it better myself, that said, just for additional context, there are a variety of blunt arrow tips/heads. There are ones that penetrate, like the one used in the video, while others are made to stun or fatally concuss a target. These arrow heads/tips are often used to hunt for small game that reside in trees, seeing as most sharp arrows would end up either getting stuck or end up pinning the target to the tree, resulting in an arrow and/or target becoming unretrievable (or at least very difficult to retrieve).
@@BradloRaul not everyone has access to handguns. Just food for thought. The language on the shield hints at this being Chinese. China doesn't all for firearms but bows and arrows I would assume are some what available. There are many riots in China this could be a slightly targeted video for that effect. Another fun fact. The India China border has a rule where neither side can use firearms during "disputes" so personal have carried bows into combat instead. This video would allow a soldier or civilian what arrow is effective against a specific target. If you want to learn more look at task and purposes video on why the Chinese carry bows in their military.
Worth noting that since only the bottom of the shield was supported, the arrows that struck the top of the shield lost a lot more energy on impact than the ones that hit lower.
It wouldnt work unless it's a riot shield cause riot shield are for riots and riots usually have people hitting with bat and blunt weapon or thrown bottle and items
The reason why the concave arrow head pierced right thru was cuz of its cylindrical design, which on impact hit the riot shield creating a hole equal to the girth or diameter of the arrow, which allowed it to pass straight thru with the momentum it had... Hope this helps 😊
no, arrows used against armor for medieval bows were made out of wood and much larger. the tactic was not to penetrate the plate armor, but to hit the mail in between. you would actually be surprised at how easy it was. of course this depends on the armor as later versions had very little caps. but believe it they were still dangerous, and knights still had to worry about arrows. anyways. medieval arrow tips cold never come close to penetrating steel plate armor.
Bodkins were simple and effective, has trouble in reasonable quality mail if it has sufficient padding and rivets but still can at very least obstruct movement or get a little hole
its not actually blunt. its sharp on the edges, making a straight hole, leaving the rest go trough with no resistance. other types force the metal to bend, and still cause friction on the shaft.
Nah but make believe who can say - a character who was a fairly low powered soldier can suddenly become God level - which is almost all of them these days - Hawkeye probably has a cosmic cube arrow tucked away or something and Kryptonite for the crossover with Superman lol
For thise wondering how the "hollow" bolt penetrated that clean - it's because the edge of the head are sharp, and it slices and entire circle into the shield, allowing the size of the arrow to go throught. Other arrows on the other hand, have sharp tips but the head has hooks and blades that would also come into contact in the shield after the initial tip. In other words, on the cone shaped heads, the small tip would hit first, cause reduction in the penetrating force, and that reduced force would be applied to the next points of contact and further reduce the penetration power further. Meanwhile the circular tip allows for a one-time application of force, concentrating the penetration power into one hit
so... this is basically the archer's version of an RPG Rocket, without the explosive? despite how video game RPGs are depicted as just grenades... they're actually armor piercing similar to the way you describe it.
@@AotO_DJ yeah sure they penetrated the shield but how many would've been able to hit the person holding it without touching their arm? Honorable mention to the hollow point arrow
@@screenname6829 Still, the answer is 10. Dude, you don't stand 3 feet behind this shield, you have to carry it, and to carry it, you have to stay close to it.
The head would need incredibly high mass to have enough torque at impact to drill anything. The rotation stops the instant it hits. The thing just hole-punches through. Very well, apparently.
That's mostly a misconception that arrows spin. Most arrows have straight fletching for various reasons e.g. less drag, deeper penetration (beacuse kinetic energy depends more on velocity than mass), cheeper and easier to make and its only flaw is being less accurate. As helical fletching do exists that makes arrows more accurate - it is mostly not practical in terms of "battles" (you either want pin point accuarcy or eliminate your target efficiently). Anyway - if you would actually use helical fletching - the spin it provides is sufficient enough to stabilize the arrow and improve accuarcy - is still not enough to drill anything. Optimistic spin value is like 1 full rotation per every 3 meters of travel! (which is a lot for an arrow). Realistically it is about 1 rotation per +- 9meters as archers say. Tl;dr: arrows don't drill anything but air, not enough rotations and force that makes arrow spin is not enough to make arrow spin on contact with surface
Basically similar principles as steel armor. Most steel armor immune to slashing and piercing damage. But when someone brings out anything blunt like a mace, a hammer or similar bashing weapons like baseball bats or sledgehammers, durability goes down the drain. That arrow head is the most aerodynamic blunt head I've seen by far.
@@porkchop4401 That is literally not how sabot rounds work. Every sabot round is different. 3BM42 has a very different performance against non-homogenous composites/laminates than M829A3. But as a general rule of thumb, most APFSDS KEPs use monolithic penetrators. They do not rely on the principle of plugging as a primary AP component. What you're looking at is plugging from a wz. 35-style penetration principle.

@@Hshjshshjsj72727 While the hollow point arrow had the best penetration, it will deal less damage to a person than any other arrow that pierced the shield. The other arrows can pierce metal body armor and will get stuck in the flesh of the target, causing a more severe injury, which is exactly what they were designed for. None of the tipped arrows were designed to shoot at a riot shield.
As others have stated, the bodkin style arrows penetrated deeper (except for you know which one) because they were designed for piercing armor. The ones that did worse are designed for maiming an unarmored target.
I see I’m not the only one that was completely caught off guard about the fact that the least pointy looking arrow was the only one that pierced the shield entirely like goddamn
@@Berkana I think it's a contrast of modern technology vs ancient technology. Back then, harder, thinner and weightier arrows were suspected to be most efficient in piercing period. I don't think they considered that the shape of the arrowhead could possibly punch a hole in the armor back then. Weapons back then were either really heavy and blunt or long and sharp. I think the interesting thing is the fact that the Plug Cutter shaped arrow head wasn't at all effective against the plexiglass riot shield in comparison.
@@gamrage Regarding historic arrow heads, you have to remember the metallurgy of the time. Arrow heads were not as tough as modern metals are capable of and they were hand forged so they were limited on shape.

Other arrows on the other hand, have sharp tips but the head has hooks and blades that would also come into contact in the shield after the initial tip.
In other words, on the cone shaped heads, the small tip would hit first, cause reduction in the penetrating force, and that reduced force would be applied to the next points of contact and further reduce the penetration power further. Meanwhile the circular tip allows for a one-time application of force, concentrating the penetration power into one hit
whats the arrowhead called? everyones saying its called a plug cutter but i cant find it when i search it up

so...
this is basically the archer's version of an RPG Rocket, without the explosive?
despite how video game RPGs are depicted as just grenades...
they're actually armor piercing similar to the way you describe it.
Ty for this insightful explanation ❤
“We got tanks”
“We got hollow point arrows”
“….we surrender”
That hollow one deserves an apology for us underestimating it
That one underrated arrow 💀💀
Riot shields vary in thickness from 2 - 8mm, and most are made of 4 - 6mm thick polycarbonate.
Why do you know this and what are you planning?
No shit...
Yeah, I'm thinking the cheap Chinese one is a lot thinner.
@@TeaBurnmost likely, but a good bow with good arrows and arrowheads will still penetrate.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one shocked by the hollow point arrow lmfao
"Sir, hostiles are using concave arrows!"
"Never form testudo! Just block it with your Kevlar helmets and body armor!"
That fist arrow really said "FFFFFFFUUUCK THIS RIOT SHIELD AND THE PERSON HOLDING IT!"
Around 10 of them said EXACTLY that.
Me return to archer!🦧🏹
@@AotO_DJ yeah sure they penetrated the shield but how many would've been able to hit the person holding it without touching their arm?
Honorable mention to the hollow point arrow
@@screenname6829 Still, the answer is 10. Dude, you don't stand 3 feet behind this shield, you have to carry it, and to carry it, you have to stay close to it.
@@AotO_DJLucky that they all have tank armors.
Let bring a 9MM.
this one proves that it's not the menacing looks that makes the arrows deadly but the science that's put it developing it
A lot of them got me going "Whoa!" but the one that went completely through got me 😱
When that one arrows shaft reads 'Courtesy of Ron Jeremy' you know it's gonna run deep...
The one I expected to do the worst actually won 😅😮
Same haha
Me shocked by that round jagged one
😂😂😂 me too
Had no idea the wadcutter tip would go all the way through
same
We got hollow point arrows before GTA 6💀
they have been existing for a real long time
@@aplemanic I’m sure some ancient warrior probably figured out that a hole in the tip makes arrows better, but I meant first documented use.
Yooo hahaha. Rockstar fell off
They've been documented actually

“That hollow thing ain’t getting thru NOTHING!”

Don't underestimate my tendency to be green arrow
The hollow one is basically a hole saw. The arrow spins after being fired, drilling through the metal shield like butter.
The head would need incredibly high mass to have enough torque at impact to drill anything. The rotation stops the instant it hits. The thing just hole-punches through. Very well, apparently.
That's mostly a misconception that arrows spin. Most arrows have straight fletching for various reasons e.g. less drag, deeper penetration (beacuse kinetic energy depends more on velocity than mass), cheeper and easier to make and its only flaw is being less accurate.
As helical fletching do exists that makes arrows more accurate - it is mostly not practical in terms of "battles" (you either want pin point accuarcy or eliminate your target efficiently).
Anyway - if you would actually use helical fletching - the spin it provides is sufficient enough to stabilize the arrow and improve accuarcy - is still not enough to drill anything. Optimistic spin value is like 1 full rotation per every 3 meters of travel! (which is a lot for an arrow). Realistically it is about 1 rotation per +- 9meters as archers say.
Tl;dr: arrows don't drill anything but air, not enough rotations and force that makes arrow spin is not enough to make arrow spin on contact with surface
@@wyimaginowany5404 OK, thanks a lot!
Today i have learnt to never judge an arrow by his tip

Hollow point arrow:
the hollow point arrow has the exact same physics as a hollow point bullet
I saw that weird, circular arrow and was like “there’s no way that’s going through.”
THE WAY I POGGED WHEN IT SAILED RIGHT THROUGH THE SHIELD 😂
anyone know what kind of arrow is that
@@sicilianmammalian hollowpoint I think
@@sicilianmammalianit's probably for target shooting or practice. In targets that aren't metal, it would probably not penetrate and get stuck.

So in conclusion, we have to be thankful that rioters use at most homemade guns, because one archer joins the group and they’re screwed…
Or, God forbid, a crossbowman shows up...
These are metal balls. If it is a real gun, whole squad is dead.
Statist
I love how the fanciest/special ones suck, and yet the least effective-looking one goes thru the shield like it wasn’t there!
Me to the hollowpoint: “Perhaps I treated you too harshly.”
The blunt tipped arrow was insane. It proved me wrong
It's a hollow tip, not necessarily blunt.
It works kinds like a discarding salvo round from a tank. The outer part splits away easy on impact and the sharp rod pens.
it works like hole cutter, thats why the entry point is a big opening for following shaft to go thru
Basically similar principles as steel armor.
Most steel armor immune to slashing and piercing damage.
But when someone brings out anything blunt like a mace, a hammer or similar bashing weapons like baseball bats or sledgehammers, durability goes down the drain.
That arrow head is the most aerodynamic blunt head I've seen by far.
@@porkchop4401 That is literally not how sabot rounds work.
Every sabot round is different. 3BM42 has a very different performance against non-homogenous composites/laminates than M829A3.
But as a general rule of thumb, most APFSDS KEPs use monolithic penetrators. They do not rely on the principle of plugging as a primary AP component.
What you're looking at is plugging from a wz. 35-style penetration principle.
So in other words, if you wanna storm some capitals, be Hawkeye.

that hollow point really fricking made ALL of us do a double take
I would like to humbly apologize to the hollow-point arrow, for I was not in fact familiar with its game.
That one arrow was defination of "NEVER JUDGE AN ARROW BY ITS BLUNT END“😂😂
It's not about whether it's blunt or not. All of them are sharp. However, the arrowhead shape matters.
Most of the arrowhead will leave either a hole in the shape of a flat line (for the flat arrows) or a triangular hole. However, the shaft of the arrow is cylindrical, which means it requires a circular hole for the entire arrow to pass through. Well, guess which arrowhead leaves behind a circular hole?
Also, consider that one arrowhead like the blade inside a paper holepuncher. It's plenty sharp.
Finally an answer to riot shields for Call of Duty
That Hollow Point arrow passes right through the shield like a knife in butter
Protesters be readying a bow and arrow lmao
When the one that clearly doesn't look like an arrow is the only Arrow
That one weird arrow at my impression,
"What kind of that arrow?"
*Penetrated
"Wtf"
"the riot has spears!"
"Don't worry, we have shields"
*Dies*
"You can't break THIS shield, Ja-"
Sundowner
"There's no way an arrow can pierce through metal right?"
"right..?"
I thought the same. Like a minute ago 🐧
Its chinese even a rock could break them
The bodkin point (skinny ones that make the arrow go about halfway through) were designed for just that purpose - to punch through armor.
Am arrow just needs a bit of the shaft to make it through armor to put a hole in the wearer.
@@Nihl-rplc true even their armor is cheap just like everything else in their society, their army their economy, their social structure literally everything anyone who says communism is better than capitalism. Literally has never looked at. It’s borderline slavery at that kind of scale(if you’re confused by what I mean communism works best if say a village or a small tribe, but I’m massive country with millions of people…yeah that’s a negative on that so yeah)
@@ArielMurrayDrakonslayer777 did Doofenshmirtz shoot you with the yappinator
The fact that the ones that looked like native american arrow heads were the best ones
They are all variations of bodkin arrows I believe, created specifically in many cultures to pierce armor and hard targets
False, the hollow point was best
@@Hshjshshjsj72727 While the hollow point arrow had the best penetration, it will deal less damage to a person than any other arrow that pierced the shield. The other arrows can pierce metal body armor and will get stuck in the flesh of the target, causing a more severe injury, which is exactly what they were designed for. None of the tipped arrows were designed to shoot at a riot shield.
They’re meant for different applications. Some for flesh.
As others have stated, the bodkin style arrows penetrated deeper (except for you know which one) because they were designed for piercing armor. The ones that did worse are designed for maiming an unarmored target.
I see I’m not the only one that was completely caught off guard about the fact that the least pointy looking arrow was the only one that pierced the shield entirely like goddamn
Purple hollow arrow : Pierces through the shield like it's literal butter 🥶
bodkin tips are made for penetrating armor as much as possible.
Oddly, the bodkins didn't perform nearly as well as the blunt tipped plug cutter one.
@@Berkana I think it's a contrast of modern technology vs ancient technology.
Back then, harder, thinner and weightier arrows were suspected to be most efficient in piercing period.
I don't think they considered that the shape of the arrowhead could possibly punch a hole in the armor back then. Weapons back then were either really heavy and blunt or long and sharp.
I think the interesting thing is the fact that the Plug Cutter shaped arrow head wasn't at all effective against the plexiglass riot shield in comparison.
@@gamrage Regarding historic arrow heads, you have to remember the metallurgy of the time. Arrow heads were not as tough as modern metals are capable of and they were hand forged so they were limited on shape.
@@gamrageyes and they didn't have good quality steel like now but that's was also true for plate armor
@@Aconitum_napellus I wonder how a monolithic steel core with an aerodynamic cap would have performed, actually.
Oh my god, on the first riot shield vid people said these would bounce off metal. This dude did this out of spite, and im proud
Love that the cookie cutter arrow just went straight through like butter
That metal riot shield reminds me of a door on a locker.
