“They never tested this armor against guns”
*History says differently*
late 16th century dukes ordered "up armored" cuirasse for the nobility to combat the uprise in what can only be called "peasant snipers" using early firearms on the backroads to mug nobility. From the examples I have seen, the heat treated, thick steel would easily stop a .45 and even a 9mm.
Rifle? No way, but any handgun short of a .44, I'd bet my life on it.
@@Ranstone this is accurate.
That's correct. Armor was often tested against contemporary firearms, especially in Italy, and was sold with a dent in it, called a "proof". The "proof" is a dent where the "bullet" had been stopped. Quality armors could regularly be purchased with a "bullet proof", demonstrating it's effectiveness, and ultimately giving rise to the modern term "bulletproof".
I kinda think this is why the Europeans went into firearms more than any other culture that had them.
European armour technology had gotten soo well developed, bladed weapons became increasingly infeasible.
I would argue that they were technically correct in that I doubt there were mail order cosplay armor sets around 400 years ago.
Metatron, Skallagrim, and Shadiversity every time Matt says it's real armor: "I feel a great disturbance in the force."
LMAO! My thoughts exactly!!
I remember seeing a video showing how firearms affected the way construction chest armor. They used two layers of metal. But still that was during the black powder era, so it still wouldn't protect you against modern weapons.
@@dishmanw watch Skallagrims guns vs helmets video, some were able to stop up too a .45
And scholagladiatoria too. :)
Lets not forget Tom's Workshop which produced a really good one!
The difference between a musket-ball and a bullet is that a musket-ball has a greater mass and so when it impacts armour the energy is dispersed over a greater area, and because it's a round ball it doesn't "penetrate" as much as just bluntly impact (meaning against flesh it could blow through you, but a solid surface could slow/stop it). But modern bullets are rifled to spin, designed to be pointed/aerodynamic, and the smaller size generally means that the point of impact is more focused so the bullet pierces what it hits. So generally speaking, Medieval Armour for its time was pretty good even against muskets (except at close range where the full velocity had a chance to possibly punch through them), but modern ballistics are just simply designed differently.
Was looking for this comment. No idea why it has 0 replies considering how real it is
That's true to a point, but the armor was too expensive compared to hiring soldiers and creating guns, even then knight armor fell out of fashion (literally lol) because of the English longbow iirc
@@hotturnips7692 No? the armor fell of of fashion because of guns, You underestimate the protection full plate armor gives.
@@axelaugust5552 *overestimate and yes, it was because of the longbow but only partially, the idea of hiring mercenaries became popular at the end of the middle ages with the end of feudalism too
i mean
musket balls could penetrate most armor
however there was bulletproof armor later on
Imagine just waking down the street and then a boss fight labelled “the black knight” appears and you get a message saying shift to run, you then see a man on a motorcycle with a sword charging at you at full speed
*pull a indiana jones and shoot him in the chest and watch him stumble across the street*
Why do I hear boss music ?
Kuze.
For some reason I can hear Metatron, Shadiversity and Skallagrim yelling in the distance.
*Angry Machicolation noises*
oh good i'm not the only one.
well i mean, what the fuck is that sword supposed to be? It looks like someone put it together with pieces of a broken fence.
I think that next skalagrim stream will be full of references to this. XD
”THAT IS NOT REAL ARMOUR!!!”
”NO SHIELD IS A SHEAT OF METAL!!!”
"Real armor" - Those butted rings would like a word with you
"Medieval battle" - You mean renaissance
"They never tested armor against guns" - Yes, they did
Yeah, that's where the term "bullet proof" came from
@@LS-sp5hr correct, armourers called the testing process "proofing the armour".
Not Renaissance, just medieval
@@shad0wwarrior475 Not really. The kind of armor that costume hopes to be when it grows up only appears at the very tail end of the medieval period. It really belongs to the renaissance.
@@draugur345 The helm wants to be in the crusades tho
The fact that those cheap and flimsy pieces of chinesium actually managed to stop *any* kind of modern bullet at all is damn amazing. I mean, look at it!
Even a baking tray is thicker than that suit of 'armor'. xD
I thought it was Indianium
the armor was meant to stop blunt/bladed weapons, not bullets
no way a sword is getting through that lol
@@Terlinilia You'd be surprised at the amount of kinetic energy a sword can carry. And later medieval armors were even bulletproof, fyi. Flintlocks and knights existed at the same time.
There even were some German riders that strapped like six pistols to their chests, charged toward the enemy, unloaded all of their guns and then ran away to reload again.
@@krautworks Medieval armor could stop bullets, especially at the time. But I imagine the kinetic energy from the bullet would still do internal damage to the body, like bulletproof vests today.
I still find it hard to believe a sword is gonna cut through armor. Especially through slicing.
The thing is, people did have guns at the same time of medieval armor. One of the reasons metal armor stopped being used is because the musket could be used the same as a long bow, but with far less training.
yea, longbow needs real training especially on upper body strength... while musket only needs aiming and enough strength to handle recoil

Well cheap.
Real armor is very expensive. One set I bought 3 years ago cost 16k, no shit, but it was extremely high quality. 15th century 14 gage tournament armor full set.
@@Frank-il3kt tournament armour is more expensive then regular battle armour. Or at least it was, back in those days.
@@Frank-il3kt If i remember turnament armour was much thicker, I remember reading they intentinally made armour from iron instead of steel so it would bend more and accelerate less so your neck wouldnt be broken be a lance into forehead? It should stop at least 9mil right?

Matt: “oh you have to clean guns?”
Brandon: “sounds like a non ak guy problem”
Lol funny thing is I’ve never cleaned my ak in about 12 years and it still operates flawlessly
@Joe Mama I actually just got turned on to some soft body armor that can stop a .30 06 AP round which is awesome being it’s not AR550 plates I was impressed
@Joe Mama my polytech keeps working without cleaning too as long as you don't mind it being heavy, ugly and inaccurate. Oh and the sights are awful. Seriously though, ak's are a good design and they're definitely reliable, i just don't like them. No hate for people that do.
@Joe Mama well to be honest my wife which was my gf at the time 20 years ago and you could buy em brand new bought me a Saiga AK chambered in .223 for $298 brand new in the box and that’s the one I’m referring to......gun has been a beast for all these years and never fails as long as you run good brass which I only run brass or nickel plated in my guns anyway so if you can find a Saiga I’d highly recommend it.Cheapest one I can find nowadays used is around $800
It’s why it took me so long to build AR15s in the many calibers I own of them just because the saiga was so damn reliable and accurate,100 yard shots iron sights can group em within a 3” diameter it’s crazy.

Every mediaeval TH-cam channel: “ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!?!”
More or less ya. Issue is, real armor is expensive as fuck and something i would not want to shoot.
Real enough to stop a modern assailant without a gun, not real enough to stop the bullets it should stop.
But Matt would
@@ChrisBryer and Matt is rich as fuck. If anyone can afford to give us a real armor vs modern gun test, he can. He just needs to hook up with metatron or shadiversity or any number of those medieval weapons and armor guys.
@@stingray4540 Metatron is weighing in on the quality, or lack thereof, on the armor.
Probably been said but armor was always worn over padded undergarments such as a gambeson for the chest. These padded undergarments were what stopped a lot of arrows since armies would design arrors to punch holes in plate armor.
Fun video! Keep it up!
Nope. Padded armor wasn't worn underneath it. This would mean that the plates need to be bigger which would create more costs and weight. Underneath armor you just wear an arming doublet, a simple linen shirt you could tie the plates on. Same goes for chainmail which sat very tight on your body to reduce weight. If there was padded armor worn with metal armor, it was worn above the metal armor because of said reasons
@@cement_mixer7395 Yes it was. It was common to wear gambeson both over and under plate armor. The gambeson worn underneath would usually be slightly thinner, or would be a different classification of layered garment made in the same process, which can be literally defined as gambeson, but slightly thinner. Examples of this classification include the aketon and the jack. The names for the gambeson fit over chain and plate armor was usually jupon or loudel. The truth is, the further the development of plate, the lower the thickness of the undergarment, which eventually culminated in the arming doublet, which was essentially a shirt. There's not even any evidence of quilting being used in them. In fact, by the time arming doublets were used, it was not uncommon to wear plate armor directly over regular civilian clothes. In conclusion, in the age of plate armor, before the disuse of padding or undergarments, it was common to wear gambeson both over and underneath plate armor.
@@calencrawford2195 Gambeson was mostly used alone or maybe with a mail hauberk, but then usually over it so you don't need a bigger, more heavy mail shirt. Sometimes also in combination with single plate parts like cuirass and/or spaulders. Cement Mixer is right, the combination with plate armor wasn't really that much of a thing, even when people like Shad want it to be. There is a reason why basically every person who actually knows stuff about medieval armor tends to not like him. There was a phase where a lot of reenactors thought it was a thing and they walked around looking like the Michelin Man in their armor. But since then it moved on and it's now not longer considered accurate.
And no, not every type of textile armor or even padded textile armor is a gambeson in the strict definition of the word. An aketon is not really a gambeson, even when Wikipedia mentions it as a synonym. Wikipedia is sometimes just wrong.
@@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei That’s rough! You’re right, not every type of cloth armor is a gambeson and people typically didn’t wear mail with plate. Who are knowledgeable content creators medieval enthusiasts do enjoy?
Wow! I can’t believe that all penetrated that swap shop armor!

This "real armor" looks and sounds like it was made out of soda cans.
Cuz it probably was 😂
Stacey Gram yeah lol
It's obviously a set just for decoration, it looks like its sword has the blade on sideways.
Real armour would be over twice as thick and more domed outwards on the breastplate, the lack of rivets and thin wire-gauge with that shiny zinc coating on the mail is also a bit of a giveaway.
I was thinking the same thing, this is shit quality armor and shield. I want this test on top quality medieval armor!
Sounds, looks like aluminum. Also, the chain mail was split ring and not riveted. A costly experiment, but I would dearly love to see steel armor, steel riveted ring mail with the padded undergarments.
“They never tested this because they didn’t have guns or bullets.”
*1500s soldiers have entered the chat*
Even 15th century to...
@@kristofantal8801 even in the 14th century, before they had full plate armour, they had handguns
Those guns don't compare today
That is the reason why soldier stopped using armor all together. And even if gunpower never existed, the crossbow was already straining the use of full plate armor in the 100 years wars. The french was using full plate armor knights for their cavalry charge. Crossbow man were able to aim for the weak spot in their armor and go through chainmail.
@@Bleusilences Crossbows didn't defeat plate armour... This is a irrealistic myth. Crossbows used much earlier than plate armour, so if crossbows were ultimate weapons plate armour was never used commonly... There is a reason, why plate armour used commonly until the mid 17th century... Full plate was used until the 16th century but three-quarter plate used after that by heavy cavalry, such as cuirassiers or demi-lancers...
It's really interesting that the first two couldn't get through. Of course any armor is eventually going to give way.
That sword makes me so mad... like, there's something visceral in me that sees the guard at the wrong angle to the blade and makes me want to fix it through sheer force of willpower...
I was just doing through comments to see is it was bothering anyone else
The sword and armor make me sad. That's some of the worst quality armor you can buy.
I mean the guard isn't the issue. The fact that everything is wallhanger quality is the issue. Plenty of examples of guards being at an angle like so

@@jacquesmains7453 I know, right! So exiting!
I wonder if he did a video with actual armor. Steel breastplate and riveted chainmail.
Criticism aside, it looks like alot of fun
Armor became out classed once we discovered that gun bullets can pass through almost any mineral lightweight enough to wear.
They just said, “we don’t need armor now that we have guns, either we live or we die”
"'REAL' armor." ....That thing wouldn't stop an arrow. It definitely isn't going to stop a bullet.
Exactly, and the rings are butted and not riveted. A hammer would open those rings up lol. But they dont know
As a gun enthusiast I love this, as an armourer this is painful. Not that it would make much of a difference but that's extremely low quality armor and I'm not even gonna talk about weather its historical or not lol.
Other than that great vid as usual
Edit: also WHAT IS THAT SWORD OH GOD MY EYES
Hollywood made us all think shields were made from metal too!
A historical 13th century helm like this can stop a .45 easily. I've even seen it stop a 30-30 on the bridge. Skalalgrim did a video on this.
it's prop armor, can't even call it low quality!
Agreed far from a "scientific test", would be interesting using the higher grade stuff they actually used. They did used to actually "bullet proof" those armors.
Right? That maille is complete trash. I wouldn't complain about it just being butted if the weave was better with steel. They look like aluminum

captain for the seemingly few non-sword-enthusiasts around here: "hema" is an abbreviation for "historical European martial arts" (European because Japanese martial arts differ significantly). It's basically just a fancy term for swordfighting.
Legit just found this channel because I was wondering what would happen 😅😂 this is awesome
One fun fact your chain mail is butted links and really is just for decoration. The period mail used would have been riveted or forge welded together and can still be found in use by divers. Its a shark protection and has welded links.
Fun fact, "Bulletproof" came about from the time period when both platemail and muskets were used in war. As "proof" that the armor could stop a bullet, they would shoot it with a musket, often leaving only an indent. That indent was known as a "Bullet Proof", which eventually evolved into the term we use today.
crap, how many just whacked the armor with a ball peen hammer and called it good?
Don't tell me nobody did it. We've dealt with counterfeits since the beginning of trade.

Just noticed you are using the triple barrel. Very cool
That Shield have Holy Protection when a gun shoots at it it jams
This armor is 18 gauge steel, which means is about 1,2 mm thick. A real one has 12-14 gauge. That's about 2,5 mm thick.
No sheet metal is stopping a rifle round though. Not those sheet metal safes, truck body panels etc. Also modern steel is much superior to medieval steel.
@@Eric-zs6rd depends on who is making it and where it’s from and also the smith that’s making weapon and armour out of it matters greatly too. Though I do agree with you that the majority of modern steel is better than that of the medieval period it really depends.

Solid efficient vid. This is what youtube was made for.
I would've liked to have seen the real armor replica used as an example an the other type of maile used,since in midevil times they did eventually have tighter woven pattern an worn Gambian padding under their maile an then the outer armor,later in time to stop swords from puncturing ,they made double plated chest armor,I may have some of this backwards, but that's some stuff I learned, I love the samurai armor,wished you could've tested something like it too,anyway fun video
Really hope you remake this video with genuine materials, would be very interested to see that. Then again that'd be awful expensive.
Check out the channel Skallagrim, he has done firearms and other weapons tests against authentic medieval, modern, and improvised armor and weapons.
Doing a 2×2 square isn't that expensive. Consult with Skallagrim, Megatron, and Shad for the best options for a good material test. Bonus for useing ballistic jell and bone constrict for a serious test of what happens to the body getting hit behind the armor
He has literally shot a gold bar before... I don't think he really would be worried about a 12k suit of armour. That just mean he can't get another gun that week lol.
"Real armor" lmao Matt you're a special kind of special 😂❤️
This was very cool, thx for this content! It made my day 🎉❤
SwaggerSouls better be watchin his back💀
"It's all metal"
Yeh but wat kind
Looks like a lot of the time it would stop multiple people penetrated by the same rounds till the first line falls flat
Medieval knight rode a motorbike into battle.
Me: Okay, he rode hors- wait, WHAT?!
Yeah, didn’t you know? They also hid small firearms in the pockets of their denim trousers!
@@TheTanglerrr don’t forget that the king holds a RPG
Halo bang
All the above comments describe my RPG game characters
Medieval crossbows shot
bolts, wide and short, that
had less range than long bows.
The bigger version nailed a
rider to his horse or did 2
or more men within a group
but were crew served. All
were not easily assembled.
None had identical parts.
Yes, that was before Ford
assembly line products.
“Never bring a sword to a gun fight!”
“Haha okay”
*brings a set of medieval armor*
So "The Batman" is more accurate then previously thought 😄!
This man gangsta till the Mannequin yell
"Tis but a scratch"
This comment needs more likes.
*I've had worse*
underrated
"Its just a flesh wound, get back here you panzy!"
"Your arms off!"
Matt : "Usually, zero penetration is a bad thing"
Whoever holding the camera : "Cringe"

Zero penetration, leads me to consider:
.729 vs 4 Bore vs Punt Gun vs Bazooka 🤔🤠🤣. which one has the greatest destruction ... emm penetration ?
Sorry for my stupid mouth 🤭
That chainmail and armor would be great against a zombie apocalypse. I dont think a zombie would be able to bite you
Wait a minute isn't he also Vet Ranch? That intro is much funnier now!
Well, let's not discuss the "real" armor and the "real" "chainmail" :D
Agreed
White wolf wise wolf
I was thinking myself that chainsaw won't even stop a sword stab... needs to be soldered/screwd shut.
I think there is no historical chainmail. It's just called mail.
