@@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.
@@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
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.
Sorry but I kinda did. If you watch again, you'll see all of the *wide* pointed arrows are blocked and the *narrow* ones go through. Not really surprising that the narrowest one does best. I wonder if it has narrow fletching also -- I thought it might stop at the other end.

@soyjo9002 The one who actually has several good friends who just have a different lunch period and didn't actually have a problem with bullying according to testimony from his guidance counselor that has now been scrubbed from the internet?
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. 🤷🏻
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
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).
*"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.
idk why everyone is suprised the tip with the smallest profile pierced right through. all the other bladed heads or broad heads are designed to cut all the way through soft tissue, the smaller profile meant less friction from cutting.

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.
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.
i mean there are literal bolts that pierce through bulletproof vests for modern crossbows, military still appreciates bows and crossbows in many scenarios. thiugh its rather mercenaries that use them
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.
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 😊
@@brightBoss but yeah, my major in school was Physics, Chemistry ans Maths, wo i am familiar with terms and laws of physics, thermodynamics and stuff, but never pursued it after that
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.
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.
@@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.
Seems the simpler arrow heads work the best, which makes sense, the less steel you gotta punch through the better, and the more complex heads are designed to cut up MORE flesh and get stuck Wonder what's the best balance of punching through steel while still keeping the sharp bits to hurt the person behind it as much as a normal arrow
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.
@@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.
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.

2 scenarios I see with the hollow point arrow. 1. The cut on the edge of the head is razor sharp which allows for a clean cut hole thats wider than the body of the arrow allowing it to go through all the way without scraping the arrow body compared to the other arrows that pierce and strech to the exact or slightly less than exact width of the arrow body. 2. The hollow point arrow went through an existing hole or damaged part of the shield making for less resistance.
@@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'll take a stab at my understanding of the hollow point. The way I see it, the tip is larger in circumference than the shaft, so it basically just punched a hole through the shield that allowed the rest of the arrow to fly through seamlessly. Am i in the ballpark or is there something else to it?
A riot shield is a lightweight protection device, typically deployed by police and some military organizations, though also utilized by protestors. Riot shields are typically long enough to cover an average-sized person from the top of the head to the knees, though smaller one-handed models may also be used. They are generally intended to be used in riot control, to protect the user from melee attacks with blunt or edged weapons and also thrown projectiles, or non-lethal weapons such as rubber bullets and water cannons. They can also be used as short-ranged melee weapons to push back the opposing force. Most riot shields do not offer ballistic protection; ballistic shields are instead used in situations where heavily armed resistance is expected.

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.

Idk Hawkeye needs to learn to avoid slow moving vehicles first.

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
Vibranium says access denied 😎
Notice how the fancier the arrow looks, the lesser effective it is
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
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?

they're actually armor piercing similar to the way you describe it.
Ty for this insightful explanation ❤
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.
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 😊

@@brightBoss nah

@@brightBoss but yeah, my major in school was Physics, Chemistry ans Maths, wo i am familiar with terms and laws of physics, thermodynamics and stuff, but never pursued it after that
Yeah, but with no distinct tip how did it create the hole in the first place?
Mad jack sure had the right idea with his medieval weapons in ww2.
Aint no way the BLUNTIEST boy went through the cleanest 💀
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.
It's a plug cutter. This makes a clearance hole, and then the shaft friction is very low.
It's the hollow point of arrows
@@martinroberge8988 Ah I see what you mean. Damn, imagine if medieval archers popularized that earlier, it would have been WAY bloodier back then.

A riot shield and ballistic shield are two very different creatures.
@@williamk033bro creatures? are they… alive?
@@tigurt11 yes.
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.
Expect the unexpected...that round top arrow
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.

Seems the simpler arrow heads work the best, which makes sense, the less steel you gotta punch through the better, and the more complex heads are designed to cut up MORE flesh and get stuck
Wonder what's the best balance of punching through steel while still keeping the sharp bits to hurt the person behind it as much as a normal arrow

@@sicilianmammalianit's probably for target shooting or practice. In targets that aren't metal, it would probably not penetrate and get stuck.

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.
The hollow head made a bigger hole which was easier for the rest of the arrow pass.
Today i have learnt to never judge an arrow by his tip
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.
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!
Thank you we need this 💯💯💯💯💯💯
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.

"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.

@@Drakonslayer777 did Doofenshmirtz shoot you with the yappinator
2 scenarios I see with the hollow point arrow.
1. The cut on the edge of the head is razor sharp which allows for a clean cut hole thats wider than the body of the arrow allowing it to go through all the way without scraping the arrow body compared to the other arrows that pierce and strech to the exact or slightly less than exact width of the arrow body.
2. The hollow point arrow went through an existing hole or damaged part of the shield making for less resistance.
There was a new exit hole in the shield so it's definitely the 1st

*Penetrated
"Wtf"
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'll take a stab at my understanding of the hollow point. The way I see it, the tip is larger in circumference than the shaft, so it basically just punched a hole through the shield that allowed the rest of the arrow to fly through seamlessly. Am i in the ballpark or is there something else to it?
A riot shield is a lightweight protection device, typically deployed by police and some military organizations, though also utilized by protestors. Riot shields are typically long enough to cover an average-sized person from the top of the head to the knees, though smaller one-handed models may also be used. They are generally intended to be used in riot control, to protect the user from melee attacks with blunt or edged weapons and also thrown projectiles, or non-lethal weapons such as rubber bullets and water cannons. They can also be used as short-ranged melee weapons to push back the opposing force. Most riot shields do not offer ballistic protection; ballistic shields are instead used in situations where heavily armed resistance is expected.
Yes and most riot shields I’ve seen in the West are slightly curved which aid in deflection of projectiles
