Hm, that why when I dream of real power armor, I always think that shock absorption would be the most important design objective for the exoskeleton.

Shoot Paul's "meat" target with the steel armor in the front. Just want to see the kind of damage the elephant round can do even without penetrating the armor.
I asked that same question when I read some books about the Holocaust and 9/11 once. It seems like life is all about suffering. The same can be said about history. You want to get away from it, but deep down, you know you can't. We can't get away from it. There isn't a single thing we can do about it. The best we can do is to learn from the suffering, recover from it, overcome it, and build our future upon it. That's what's best for us. Suffering is what we need to have a future. Without suffering, we would have nothing to learn from or overcome. And without any of that stuff, we will not have a future. Thank God we have people who are trying to save our world. Because without those people, our world would be futile.
I’d kinda like to see a “Forged in Fire” style pig test to see how survivable a hit from one of these rounds would be even with such thick plate armor. I figure we’re looking at pulverized ribs.
I reckon severe internal bleeding, pulverised bones, organ failure, ruptured spleen, broken spine and most probably death from the sheer force of that round. I would love to see one of that dummies tested, We demand it!!
Arnold is in his prime, hes got old man strength now, I've literally watched my 67 year old grandfather carry a full cedar tree on his friggin shoulder, if that ain't old man strength backed with old marine drive i dont know what is.
I don't think you could classify it as a heart anymore with the number of rib fragments in it. At least you'd be well tenderized for any cannibals that find you.
The Heart is technically a Pressurized chamber....The amount of Kinetic energy released would cause the heart to explode and lets not discuss what the other internal organs would look like...Death would be close to instantaneous.
@@HenrikSherwood have fired a 477 nitro. What a kick back you just don't expect that kinda recoil.. but its a shot gun firing solid shot with a lot of fire behind the rounds...
I was reading an old blog a while back, and someone mentioned that shooting bags of charcoal is fun because it makes big puffs when hit. I’m wondering what it would look like if you lined up a bunch of charcoal bags and blasted them with the elephant gun. Also, a big bag of charcoal could be a fun Full Auto Friday target. Just some thoughts.
@@samporter3822 I doubt it, probably rupture many internal organs, broken ribs cutting through lungs and heart, nope you be dead. Like being hit by a train.
Would be awesome to get one of those ballistic dummies that have all the organs and bones inside them, and put the armor on it. Just see what happens to the organs and such
"what would you like me to shoot next with this elephant rifle?" Me: don't say elephant. Don't say elephant. Don't say elephant. Don't say elephant.... An eggplant
The way those cinder blocks exploded from the impact indicates that, whilst the bullet was stopped, it would still be enough to break ribs and cause internal damage to whomever was on the receiving end. Would love to see this repeated with a ballistics dummy wearing the armour.
@@MasterKeyMagic the round wouldn't have enough energy left do 'pulverize' your internal organs. Breaking that cinder block isn't representative for watery elastic organs. Also the energy of the round will be spread over the large steal plate's surface which weighs a lot and a large amount of tissues. Breaking a rib, hell yes, maybe a spleen or liver rupture? Probably. But pulverize you? No.
@@anomalyp8584 that is very, very untrue. Yes the force would spread through the entire plate, but the plate's weight would have the opposite effect that you're saying. Like scott says, " this is a round that is designed to not expand or give," meaning all of the force of the round goes directly into the plate. The plate will then be sent into your chest with all of that force, with all the weight of the plate on top of that. Adding the massive bulge where the round hits, it will definitely do more than "break a rib."
Well its not rated for the elephant gun... if you got hit with just the ak round youd probably be okay but theres just too much power in those bigger guns.
Yeah - doesn't penetrate, but hits your chest and lungs so hard that your head pops off like a stream out of a stepped-on tube of toothpaste. Still, that metal armor is surprisingly hard - but the lateral spatter would probably cut off your chin without the rubberized containment layer. Really interesting to see the relative powers of the immovable object and the irresistible force - I would not have thought the plate would survive. I would imagine, however, that a .50 BMG would make short work of it, although if you've got somebody shooting at you with a .50 BMG, you've got bigger problems than whether or not your body armor would live through a direct hit.
If you're getting fired on with 50 bmg, you won't worry about penetration, because you're already penetrated, and satan is discussing your death with you
50 bmg has nearly double the muzzle energy a .458 lott does, to match the 50 on a joule to joule basis he would need to buy a 10-15,000$ .600 overkill rifle from American Hunting Rifles.
I cannot believe that armor held up to one shot, much less 3 shots. That's incredible. Those rounds are made to penetrate and it stopped them. I'm dumbfounded.
Steel armor is really good at stopping stuff as long as it's not made of material harder than the steel itself or going too fast. On the other end of the spectrum you have ceramic armor that will stop hardened penetrators and very high velocity rounds, but heavy magnum rifle copper or brass solids will punch through.
The senseless slaughter of innocent cinder blocks just for entertainment. Totally barbaric.😁 Good news is it stopped the bullet. Bad news is he just pooped out his lungs and heart .
Absolutely. Just look at the cinderblocks: despite the fact that the bullet can't go through the armor plate, your internal organs would be absolutely mangled.
Me too, you'd need some very substantial padding underneath in order to diffuse the kinetic energy and survive the hit but the massive bruise and cracked ribs are better than having that gun turn you into a pile of red goo.
Maybe if you put a thick pad of shock-absorbent gel on the wearer side of the plate to take up some of that impact? Just a thought. Idk if that would really do anything.
My drill Sargent in basic claimed to have been second man through the door when the first man took both barrels of a twelve gauge point blank to the chest. Said the guy lived but was black and blue from navel to clavicles
"This is not rated for an elephant gun." True that, Scott, you have to be armored up like Ned Kelly (plus some plating for the legs for the added weight + stability) to remain standing taking something like that to the chest and survive.
The fact that this plate took three rounds from an elephant rifle despite not being rated for anything of the sort is stupendously impressive. Sure the person wearing the armor probably wouldn’t survive but that was crazy.
Not immediately but after a few minutes of internal bleeding from ruptured organs and broken ribs scratching your insides most definitely...keeps its an open casket funeral rather than closed if that makes sense lol
A video about KB shooting at body armor. *Gets an ad featuring KB shooting at body armor and failing to go through.* Hell yeah I'm watching that through.
They aren’t that rare. I’ve had 5 different ones, in various configurations. 375H&H, 416 Rigby, 458 WM, They work for moose hunting, too. Haven’t shot an elephant yet, much to my chagrin.
P.O. Ackley proved small calibers at very high velocity will penetrate much farther than anything else. From memory, I remember he was using sections of caterpillar tracks from a half track truck. And the 22 & 24 cal bullets at 4,000+ fps were the only ones that went through the track sections like a hot knife through butter.
@@ahuman2695 That doesn't change physics. Even with 2-2.5x the energy it doesn't matter. In that video he takes a .308 point blank, standing on 1 leg, and doesn't even flinch. You think all of a suddenly changes going from roughly 2800 ft lbs to 5800 ft lbs? That someone goes from not even moving to crushed ribs? But to the point of physics. The bullet cannot impart more energy onto the target than it does onto the shooter (equal and opposite reaction). The recoil is absorbed in the weight of the gun, spread over the surface area of the buttstock and into your shoulder/body. The bullet does damage because normally it's concentrated on such a small area. When it hits a rifle plate and stops the impact is spread over the entire surface area of the plate. That surface area is much much larger than the buttstock. If it doesn't break your shoulder, it won't break ribs, and won't turn your insides into jelly. .458 Lott is incredibly powerful. In a 10lb rifle it has about 70lbs of recoil energy. Holding this rifle against your ribs and shooting would definitely hurt a lot, but it won't break them. People don't fly back when you shoot them like in movies. Everyone who hunts should know this. The "break ribs" thing is from soft body armor. Kevlar "catches" the bullet and the impact is spread on a relatively small surface area. Those hurt, those can cause injury.
Richard Ryan is basically the only one I've seen. High speed cameras that can capture bullets are 40,000 dollars plus as well. They are NOT cheap. and that doesn't include the hard drive space for the video files
@@dylancowmeadow4280well yes but later down the years you may have problems with your body being so badly damage but with enough trama padding you could take alot of rounds that and a few other ways
Dylan Cowmeadow Tell that to all the people who don’t wear seat belts and smash their chests in dashboards and steering wheels. Your right. I would much rather the plate stop the bullet than not. But just because it did doesn’t mean your out of the woods. Looking at that cinder block? I wouldn’t want to test it...
That rifle in .458 Lott is a beast. The steel armor is very impressive, didn't think it had a chance. If you can obtain some bullet resistant glass, I would enjoy watching it up against the .458.
A long time ago a gun writer for Guns & Ammo magazine, Howard French or Jack Lott of Guns & Ammo magazine had a gunsmith modify a Browning BAR hunting rifle from .338 Win. mag to .458 Win. Mag. It was interesting to say the least.
Watching you shoot the elephant rifle is worth subscribing alone. Only you can make that mule kick not look like it hurt you. In fact, you smile afterwards and say, “Let’s go bigger.”
The armor might be rated for elephant rounds, but you definitely aren't. Imagine that cinder block being your chest behind the armor. Good luck surviving that, your insides will instantly turn into a smoothie of meat and bone
How about shooting at some small targets: coins, cards, etc. To see how accurate it is then shoot some larger stuff like a fridge, water fountain, toilet etc.
Hey Scott, did you ever get a request to use an elephant rifle against an oak tree? Maybe set up a 10 to 14 in limb that has been cut off of a tree. It would be pretty cool to see how far it gets through. God bless you!

Hm, that why when I dream of real power armor, I always think that shock absorption would be the most important design objective for the exoskeleton. The armor installable on an exoskeleton might not help against AP projectiles anyway, since it would be to heavy. However, the impact of shrapnel/explosions as well as being bounced around by it should be mitigate-able.
yea maybe that plate as an exosuit armor with heavy indoskeleton for the wearers protection (Gundam), otherwise that elephant gun just melted guts with a body armor suit.
Exactly what I'm thinking.
Yea, but u still got bigger chance to survive that, than direct hit..
The moral of this story: don't mess with guys packing elephant guns.
“Welp, the bullet didn’t penetrate but my ribs are powder...”
there's no point in making body armor that stops bigger than that. the trauma from the impact alone is likely fatal
Likely the force of impact will shock your bones
@@shamarerskine3987just make a shock absorber jk lol
I was wondering. Im a casual shooter so not an expert at all lol. But maaaan the kinetic forces have to be craaazy.

Elephant gun vs 50 bmg on different stuff to see the difference between the damage
The combination of cool guns hilarious skits and fun things to shoot makes this the best gun channel. You're the man scott stay safe and keep it up.
Once again commenters, just cause the man owns a elephant gun doesn’t mean he actually hunts them... #AfricaIsFar 😂
I own a garden gun, I have never yet shot a garden :)
if he hands it to hickock then he'll just fire towards Africa and hit a elephant
Stuffs to shoot:-
Pine board
Ballistic dummy
Solid Concrete block
Bullet proof glass
T-Rex
Eggplant

Shot a safe
@@WolfPack-nx2op yep.. that would be awesome too

@@Omnihil777 killary is hated more tbh
I'd like to see how well the brass round holds up after hitting a Nokia
Sorry that joke is over told, it was funny in 2010
elmer lopez let him have his moment
Old but solid. Like the 3310.
The bullet would under nuclear fusion, similar to what happens in a “uranium gun” type atomic bomb.

@@elmerlopez3924 its still funny tho
The second plate at 5:04 was so dramatic. Lol. Like, “guuuuh. You got me.” (Falls off roof.).
How many stretch Armstrong's dose it take to stop the elephant gun.
Im thinking it would thake "ALL" the stretch armstrongs😅
A Lott
That company knew exactly what they were doing when they sent him that plate.
GOOD NEWS: The average bad guy probably doesn't have an elephant gun.
Might have a 12 gauge slug in the pipe though.
@@jerryhablitzel3333 Especially with the different types you can purchase now..
What if they do...
They aren’t that rare. I’ve had 5 different ones, in various configurations. 375H&H, 416 Rigby, 458 WM, They work for moose hunting, too.
Haven’t shot an elephant yet, much to my chagrin.
did you ever learn anything from your gaming life
P.O. Ackley proved small calibers at very high velocity will penetrate much farther than anything else. From memory, I remember he was using sections of caterpillar tracks from a half track truck. And the 22 & 24 cal bullets at 4,000+ fps were the only ones that went through the track sections like a hot knife through butter.
It doesn’t matter that the bullet did not penetrate the armor the energy transfer is more than enough to crush the ribs like that cinder block .
Rifle plates don't transfer much energy. If it doesn't penetrate you will be completely fine. ruclips.net/video/o5f1Fo4r4_I/видео.html
@@derek223556 that is a .308 so lets talk about an elephant rifle here.
@@ahuman2695 That doesn't change physics. Even with 2-2.5x the energy it doesn't matter. In that video he takes a .308 point blank, standing on 1 leg, and doesn't even flinch. You think all of a suddenly changes going from roughly 2800 ft lbs to 5800 ft lbs? That someone goes from not even moving to crushed ribs?
But to the point of physics. The bullet cannot impart more energy onto the target than it does onto the shooter (equal and opposite reaction). The recoil is absorbed in the weight of the gun, spread over the surface area of the buttstock and into your shoulder/body. The bullet does damage because normally it's concentrated on such a small area. When it hits a rifle plate and stops the impact is spread over the entire surface area of the plate. That surface area is much much larger than the buttstock. If it doesn't break your shoulder, it won't break ribs, and won't turn your insides into jelly. .458 Lott is incredibly powerful. In a 10lb rifle it has about 70lbs of recoil energy. Holding this rifle against your ribs and shooting would definitely hurt a lot, but it won't break them.
People don't fly back when you shoot them like in movies. Everyone who hunts should know this. The "break ribs" thing is from soft body armor. Kevlar "catches" the bullet and the impact is spread on a relatively small surface area. Those hurt, those can cause injury.
@@derek223556 my bad. Now that physics are involved, i'm agree a lot more.
@@derek223556 but if it can smash concrete blocks just from the transfer of energy, it can't break your ribs?
My son said he would like to see bananas being shot.
That'd just be Bananas!
Sorry, I had to.
Yeah me too
Ppl usually go nuts but dayum that's next level.. sorry had to
Unfortunately, they won't fit in the chamber.
#bananalivesmatter
Caliber body armor was like “I mean.... it is our finest product. So....”
It actually isn't. That's III+ and they have a composite IV on the line.
@@WeirdPros aaaaaah good to know
Why do gun youtubers never invest into high speed cams? It would've been so cool!
Most of their vids get demonitized and they make no money off of those, so they spend the budget on new content and not a $10k camera
Richard Ryan is basically the only one I've seen. High speed cameras that can capture bullets are 40,000 dollars plus as well. They are NOT cheap. and that doesn't include the hard drive space for the video files
Gets shot with an elephant gun wearing this armor: *Oh look the plate is intact but my intestines are a smoothie*
That Hornady round, while it didn't penetrate, would have turned a person insides into jelly with pure kinetic energy transfer.
I doubt it. You'd probably have a couple cracked ribs and a huge bruise. No one has ever been killed by a bullet that didn't break skin.
@@dylancowmeadow4280well yes but later down the years you may have problems with your body being so badly damage but with enough trama padding you could take alot of rounds that and a few other ways
@@dylancowmeadow4280 People have died from rubber bullets so that's not entirely true
Dylan Cowmeadow Tell that to all the people who don’t wear seat belts and smash their chests in dashboards and steering wheels. Your right. I would much rather the plate stop the bullet than not. But just because it did doesn’t mean your out of the woods. Looking at that cinder block? I wouldn’t want to test it...
davidaxman with no armor tho
That rifle in .458 Lott is a beast. The steel armor is very impressive, didn't think it had a chance. If you can obtain some bullet resistant glass, I would enjoy watching it up against the .458.
yeah!!!
Bless You Brother in Jesus name, I hope you are doing good since that 50 blew up. Been praying for you.
Neighbors just watchin the cinderblock get vaporized with binoculars "Dave! Dont f with him!"
This would be fun in full auto, for testing purposes of course. LOL
That would be a cool custom AR build.
A long time ago a gun writer for Guns & Ammo magazine, Howard French or Jack Lott of Guns & Ammo magazine had a gunsmith modify a Browning BAR hunting rifle from .338 Win. mag to .458 Win. Mag. It was interesting to say the least.
Ah yes, a full auto bolt action rifle...
(I know what you meant I just had to make the joke)
Mix a M240 with a 100 magazine with a elephant rifle and a P90. You get the elephant M90
@@luc1d_phoenix93 your shoulder would be destroyed😂
Ballistics gel, with a real high speed camera this time
I agree. I am curious to see how much cavitation it will have
Body armor:hurray we stopped the bullet
Body: *broken ribs*
Elephant rifle vs DVD of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Maybe hide a picture of Rian Johnson inside.
That made me literally LOL!
Add KK The Hutt and Kurtzman for good measure.
How's the shoulder? How about trying a running car or truck engine lol
You should see how many eggplants it takes to stop the elephant gun.
That plate armor is unreal. Definitely something I’d want to have in theater
In the Theatre, bowling alley, schools, malls, bus stop, work, grocery store. All those places for sure because America and its gun loving murderers
Pretty sure anyone wearing that plate would still be dead.
Injuries but not ded
Yeah, the energy transfer would be staggering. The likelihood of ruptured organs would be high. That's setting aside the shrapnel coming off it.
@@ObsidianAnimation2112 maybe not dead, but likely dying
not instantly, but a slow painful death due to damaged organs
Very much wishing they were dead.
SCOTT: "No hole in the back side.... so that's always a good thing"
ME: 🤔🤔....... Im gonna have to Disagree with you on that one buddy
If you just had a"friend" with a 5 ton and an El Camino to shoot that gun at, it would be great.
Oh very funny LMFAO😅😅😅😅😅
*internal organs are turned into literal soup*
Scott: "just put ur thumb in it"
... the cinderblock doesnt survive even though it didnt penetrate, that 458 lot would turn a meat target to jelly on the other side of the plate.
the armor "i can stop terrorists and rioters from killing my user"
Kentucky spicy boi "are you sure"
Need to find some of the Speer African Grand Slam Tungsten core solids they used to make...
Just incase a duplex starts to get uppity?
Watching you shoot the elephant rifle is worth subscribing alone. Only you can make that mule kick not look like it hurt you. In fact, you smile afterwards and say, “Let’s go bigger.”
Maybe they should register it as "rated for elephant rounds" after all.
The armor might be rated for elephant rounds, but you definitely aren't. Imagine that cinder block being your chest behind the armor.
Good luck surviving that, your insides will instantly turn into a smoothie of meat and bone
The guy who works for a hair loss prevention company and then looks for someone to do adds for them who wears a cap 105% of the time must be golden.
How about shooting at some small targets: coins, cards, etc. To see how accurate it is then shoot some larger stuff like a fridge, water fountain, toilet etc.
Enemy : but I'm wearing armor!
Elephant rifle :YEAH? WHAT ABOUT IT
Scott: (chases his blonde friend with a razor)
Blondie: (Runs away like a chicken)
I want to know if this round will stop a vehicle. Shoot a motor block
I can't imagine why his tables don't last...

@@dlew3624 Nah, he just assumes KB is a Bills fan.
Hey Scott, did you ever get a request to use an elephant rifle against an oak tree? Maybe set up a 10 to 14 in limb that has been cut off of a tree. It would be pretty cool to see how far it gets through. God bless you!
Someone: * using this body armour *
Scott: * with elephant rifle * i’ve got a target
