Yeah, imagine if he was wearing soft body armor. Would probably have broken a rib or something. 45 acp is no slouch, crazy how it can do that with hard armor
The "knockdown power" doesn't come from the physical impact of the bullet on the body. It comes from the shockwave the bullet makes in the body's liquid like blood and spinal fluid. When a bullet enters the body it creates a shockwave through those systems that impacts the nervous system and literally turns people off. We've all seen the videos- like a switch gets flipped and they drop.
@@brettc5386 No one gets shot 5 times "like nothing ever happened," but the fluid areas do not encompass the entire body so it is possible to get shot and not get the shockwave effect in the body.
Not sure what you’re saying here. But I can tell you from a trauma perspective people only “shut off” when areas of the brain are destroyed that control the body, and perhaps the spinal cord. Getting shot in a major artery or the heart will drop you pretty fast because the body is devastated almost immediately from losing blood pressure (aka no more oxygen flow) - but you are not instantly ragdolling from that. Getting shot to other vital organs will also *probably* send you to the floor within seconds, but again not in a heap. Plenty of videos out there that demonstrate this quite well. When police have to mag dump someone, those targets fail to stop/fall with frightening regularity (with pistol calibers of course). Not sure where you heard this liquid shock wave thing. Genuinely interested where you read that.
@@connorlohse4097 I don’t know what videos you’ve seen but I can tell you from my own personal experience a shot to the heart is an off switch for a human body and will instantly turn you into a sack of potatoes just as quickly as a shot to the brain steam.
If anything the hard plate enhances the evidence against the claim, because it denies energy loss through penetrative means and forces it all to be converted to blunt trauma. The bullet would have less "knock down power" if it actually went through the chest.
@Lickma Balls Knock down power when reffering to the .45 ACP is in regards to the level of hydrostatic shock the bullet emparts on the body "AFTER" penetration. Heavy round moving slower through the body creates a huge gaping cavity, and the displaced fluid makes you're BP momentarrelly shit itself, and you can near instantly pass out unless you are on some crazy drugs. This is a matter of physics, and with armor on, a hard plate that dosn't deform into the wearer at that, a bullet can not penetrate soft tissue or displace enough matter to make a person go into shock and collapse, IE get knocked down. .45 just like any other heavy round with enough mass and ass behind it can seriosly fuck someone's day up, if you are not wearing armor. Source I'm a combat medic and own lots of guns.
Perspective: On this video a shot is placed into a modern plate carrier- which definitely did it job. The grandfather and original Second Chance founder who shot himself in his vest 192 times to show it worked brought protection to mainly rated pistol calibers at the time. It still stung but generally no incapacitating injuries. Im trusting the technology and not testing on myself or anyone not needing it. Remember to practice body armor drills both above, and below any protection that an adversary may be wearing. No sense in firing into their vest, as we can see.
Defying the odds? You realize they shot a hard playe with a pistol round The odds are entirely in their favor so they didn't really even take a chance with this anyone who knows anything about body armor would know its a guaranteed the round wouldn't penetrate Honestly it's about as much of a bet as "if you stand in the rain you'll get wet" Are you literally stupid?
It's worth noting that most people shot suddenly with .45 ACP aren't wearing professional body armor. If he was just wearing a t-shirt, there's your "Knockdown Power".

Jesus loves you and died for you because your a sinner who’s condemned to hell accept him and repent of your sins to get to heaven He’s the only way. I hope you have a good day or morning or afternoon where ever you may be and God bless you take care
I'm so glad you did this one. For so many years I've been hearing about the tremendous knockdown power of the .45 automatic. I've heard it from presumably knowledgeable gun people. So now we know. Thanks.
It’s cause of the time, it’s stopping power back then probably wasn’t achievable on a pistol and nowadays you’ve got revolver rounds out performing 45.
Think about Newton's laws of motion. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That means that the recoil force you feel on your hand is about equal to the force that is felt when the bullet strikes. Not even a shotgun would knock you down unless you're off balance or it hits your lower leg as you're stepping.
Those plates (if they're Marine plates) are meant to stop rifle rounds traveling at a much higher velocity. The fact it stopped a pistol round is expected
Because this isnt even the meaning of knockdown power, and its with armor on. His ass would be knocked over with no armor cause he just got a slug in the chest 😂. Knockdown power is the same as stopping power, which with pistol rounds only magnums really have impressive stopping power. But a .45 still isnt a slouch by any means
Simple physics, really. If the bullet was going to knock down the person being shot, then the shooter would not be able to hold onto the gun (or it would knock him down).
@@66smithra - Gone Down, maybe, but not knocked down. Impact would be less of a shove than your shoulder feels (same force, smaller area). People have taken 12 ga slugs and shown no reaction (unless/until central nervous system was hit). Again, basic physics.
@@CeltKnight quite wrong. The recoil forces have to work through the weight of the gun and they would be focused on the butt of the gun. The target on the other end doesn’t have the weight of the gun to blunt the force, and the force is concentrated on the tip of the bullet, which is much smaller than the butt of the gun. You can calculate energy foot lbs of the recoil and of the projectile. Hint: the recoil force is always lower.
@@CeltKnight okay buddy. You were about a factor of 10 off from your assessment of shoulder force vs target force. You should probably review that and then come back with another hypothesis. Shoot someone at close range with buck shot or something that won’t zip through soft tissue and get back to me. The force on target is MUCH greater than that on your shoulder.

There must have been a fourth person there, just to hold the two beers.
dangerous? sure. risky? yeah... using a real vest is always better than a damn phone book.
Knockdown power is without armor.
if he was shot with 10mm, he would have not tanked it like this.
it feels different when it goes through you.. its the pain that will have you knock down on the floor..
His bad day at work is when the guy misses.
Good thing he’s got his safety glasses on.
A whole lot of “fuck that” going on.
At least there are folks who are willing to go the extra mile and now we know the answer to that burning question. LOL
I was going to say "To see the actual "knockdown power" try it without the vest", but you would probably do that so I'm not going to suggest it.
dude said, "aww we dont have anything to hang the vest on, its cool, ill just wear it while you shoot it".
- How are you shootin' today?
- Dead on all morning.
- How about that little fella?
- Oh, that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.
- Good enough for me. You're my man, now.
Jesus loves you and died for you because your a sinner who’s condemned to hell accept him and repent of your sins to get to heaven He’s the only way. I hope you have a good day or morning or afternoon where ever you may be and God bless you take care
May Our Father in heaven, richly bless you and yours as well, in Yashua's name 🙏❤️
Who asked?
I'm so glad you did this one. For so many years I've been hearing about the tremendous knockdown power of the .45 automatic. I've heard it from presumably knowledgeable gun people. So now we know. Thanks.
It’s cause of the time, it’s stopping power back then probably wasn’t achievable on a pistol and nowadays you’ve got revolver rounds out performing 45.
This pistol in the video is a .380 ACP
Think about Newton's laws of motion. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That means that the recoil force you feel on your hand is about equal to the force that is felt when the bullet strikes. Not even a shotgun would knock you down unless you're off balance or it hits your lower leg as you're stepping.
Those plates (if they're Marine plates) are meant to stop rifle rounds traveling at a much higher velocity. The fact it stopped a pistol round is expected
Because this isnt even the meaning of knockdown power, and its with armor on. His ass would be knocked over with no armor cause he just got a slug in the chest 😂. Knockdown power is the same as stopping power, which with pistol rounds only magnums really have impressive stopping power. But a .45 still isnt a slouch by any means
Im willing to bet those 2 men didn't just meet at the range. Unbelievable amount of trust between friends!!
“911 what you’re emergency”
“some …one shot my friend”
That's nothing. I survived a mortar attack by slinging a slice of my ex-wife's meatloaf around my neck. Amateurs.
You guys need to check the level of lead in your water supply.
Don’t mess with gen X. We are all out of Fuk’s to give.
On this episode of why “women live longer”
Simple physics, really. If the bullet was going to knock down the person being shot, then the shooter would not be able to hold onto the gun (or it would knock him down).
I can hold onto a 458 Win Mag when I shoot it. I GUARANTEE you he would have gone down from being shot with one.
@@66smithra - Gone Down, maybe, but not knocked down. Impact would be less of a shove than your shoulder feels (same force, smaller area). People have taken 12 ga slugs and shown no reaction (unless/until central nervous system was hit). Again, basic physics.
@@CeltKnight quite wrong. The recoil forces have to work through the weight of the gun and they would be focused on the butt of the gun. The target on the other end doesn’t have the weight of the gun to blunt the force, and the force is concentrated on the tip of the bullet, which is much smaller than the butt of the gun. You can calculate energy foot lbs of the recoil and of the projectile. Hint: the recoil force is always lower.
@@66smithra - Yet still no bullet made will knock anyone down. I don't know how many people you've seen shot but .. just no.
@@CeltKnight okay buddy. You were about a factor of 10 off from your assessment of shoulder force vs target force. You should probably review that and then come back with another hypothesis. Shoot someone at close range with buck shot or something that won’t zip through soft tissue and get back to me. The force on target is MUCH greater than that on your shoulder.

Glad there isn’t a live leak watermark 💀💀
The fact that there was a bet involved made it better lol
