The interesting mechanics of IIIA soft armor is the way the layered panels distribute the kinetic energy, sorta akin to gambeson in a conventional sense. Instead of being a rigid steel and/or ceramic plate preventing penetration altogether, it absorbs the energy and dissipates it across the surface area & subsequent layers. Pistol caliber rounds are essentially designed to be big & slow (relatively), thus they cause damage mechanically by _"crushing"_ against the intended target. Hence? Bows can pierce IIIA with relative ease because the mechanics of an arrow is to concentrate its kinetic energy into a _"slicing"_ kind of manner, letting it go through the panels without too much difficulty, but probably not enough to cause major damage to vital organs. Whereas level IV plates, just like historical plate armor, is practically outright impervious to an a arrow no matter the draw weight. Suffice it to say? Conventional bullet resistant armor is literally just Gambeson -> Plate essentially. It's kinda ironic we've returned to the same basic design principles our ancestors realized with armor, but just made it lighter & easier to mass produce on an industrial level!
@@dashrendar5320 I'd definitely recommend sharpening the spear and giving the IIIA panel (perhaps a new one?) another go. We know that finer points & edges are exponentially beneficial for getting through gambeson, perhaps we'd see some similar results against the panel in a similar vein as well? Perhaps even the axe/sword can have a go at it with sharpened edges, seeing how effective the panel is against those sorts of nasty cuts. With the Level IV plate I think you'd have some effect with a mace & warhammer! Could be interesting especially since ceramic plates are designed to shatter, would be a neat contrast to how previous steel helms held up in comparison, or maybe the ceramic is simply too resistant for the kinetic energies your muscles can put out? Either way, looking forward to the next vids!
Thanks so much, my friend. I truly appreciate that, those take me a couple days to put together because I only have like an hour a day to film, but they are fun to do.
@@tinasudar7886 Armor, then and now (even with standardized testing/certification) can vary a lot in quality; it may not do what you expect. Ask Archibald, Earl of Douglas. Tough target. Lost and eye and a testicle at Homildon Hill and Shrewsbury before being killed at Verneuil. The earl of Douglas, “evidently placing trust in his armor and that of his companions, which for three years they had taken pains to improve ... strove to rush the archers,” the bowmen “pierced entirely through these armored men [armatos omnino penetrarent], drilling through their helmets [cassides terebrarent] ... and piercing through all their armor with ease [et omnem armaturam levi negotio transverberarent]. The earl of Douglas was pierced [confossus est] with v [5] wounds, notwithstanding his extremely costly [sumptuosissima] armor.” Brown, M.H. (2004). "Douglas, Archibald, fourth earl of Douglas". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press.
Awesome work! Quite surprised modern armoyr held up that good since I was expecting it to break as the focus was often reducing the effect of the bullet's momentum, not its sharpness
Thanks man, that's really entertaining. Watched it just after my bowshooting session. I'm pulling 61pounds so far can do 200 arrows. Loooking forward to getting a stronger one soon.
You had to try the tips used to penetrate chainmail. The ones with a very long and thin tip. Those are the ones that look that will do best against klevar. The principle is the same.
I'm not surprised by the low penetration of the arrows. The Mongols used very effective protection, made of several layers of silk, and ballistic vests follow that principle. However, I was hoping for better performance from the sword...it was an eye-opening video.
I kinda suspected and agree with you on what you thought would happen with the axes , sword and spear. What did surprise me was the the penetration by the bows with the class IIIA body armor. I was betting on the arrow just barely penetrating if at all. Different subject, hey do you know or watch the awesome archer Lars Anderson ? With the war bow, is it possible to get Lars's rate of fire ? Might be a good challenge to take on. I, for one, would like to see it. Thanks and keep up the good work !
awesome like usual. Would be really interesting seeing some kind of testing of various historical weapons against the armor just based on the force it deals. I know you mentioned that you'd still feel it even if you didn't get stabbed by the arrows, but I know a lot of historical weapons like war hammers, maced and flails and such were used just as much or more for the blunt damage they could deal to the person inside the armor. Basically, the way I've heard it summed up is that "The armor survives, but the shaking and beating inside the armor makes it so the wearer doesn't." Anyway, honestly I'd be thrilled to see anything you come up with. Maybe try modern armor vs sling just for the heck of it. Cheers!
NIJ ratings also take that into account. In order for a plate to pass, it must stop the rated projectiles while having an acceptable level of backface deformation. At minimum, the NIJ IV plate in the video must shrug off 2,656 ft⋅lbf of force (30-06 M2 AP). You can take that hit to the plate and not suffer any sort of serious injury. It takes a magnum bolt action rifle to hit a NIJ IV plate hard enough to seriously injure the guy behind it. The plate will still stop the bullet, but you've now reached a dangerous amount of backface deformation.
Awesome content with great editing! I havent seen this level of down-to-earth talking and testing on the range since the early days of Kentucky Ballistics. Keep up the good work, sir! SUBSCRIBED
Mate that is bloody cool as. I first saw you on the Collab you did with Administrative Results. The amount of hours you would have had to put in to shoot a bow instinctively like that would have been off the charts. Hats off from Down Under👌👍
Hey, thanks so much for that man. It’s definitely a lot of work, but so much fun and well worth it. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words.
@@dashrendar5320 my pleasure mate. I was into archery/slings/spear and woomera (atlatl) etc. a lot as a kid. Your content is very nostalgic and bloody well done mate👊
Massive well done with this video mate, I know it’s taken a lot of work and your probably sick of people asking for longer, but you did an awesome job.
Definitely wouldn’t consider a shot from a war bow to be “most stabs and slashes.” Those things are crazy. People way underestimate both medieval weapons and modern armor.
Thought: Turn the axe blade side up, should in my mind give a better chance of hitting point first, unless it turns around after being thrown. Yes, no?
I I can't believe none of that killed the dummy but I still know that there is some medieval weapon that that beat modern armour. All this mans power, skill and determination and still the armiur held up leaves a sort of bitterness to me.
Fantastic demonstration. Thank you. I cringed when I saw the arrow tip break and the dulling of the sword. I also realized another reason why the ancient Norse chose axes over swords. Axes were more common and most likely less expensive to acquire for the day, but they most likely kept their edges better too, so they would have been a practical and serviceable choice for most.
Just some feedback since you asked for it xd: A hook at the start of the video similar to Todd’s workshop would be quite good I rekon. As for the thumbnail, I generally click on videos that have a person about to shoot/launch whatever weapon is the main focus of the video. Incredible video btw I am a big fan of your channel! I hope your channel continue to grow!
@@dashrendar5320 Basically Jeorge Sprave made a Magazine(akin to a rifle's) for arrows and attached it to a warbow. Basically giving the Warbow a self-loading mechanism. Cool stuff.
Tossing a comment for the algorithm gods and wanted to say I appreciated the longer video. I'd love to see a sling vs. small caliber firearm against these armors. I know sourcing even low-quality armor is expensive and difficult, but I'll never get tired of these sorts of tests (and tests against analogues). I keep hoping to someday see tests against something these weapons would've face, a boar! (At least, a boar carcass with its tough hide and ribs, though I know YT can be a little funny with those sorts of things).
Yeah, it would be insane to see something more analogous to a person like a bore or a pig, but those things do tend to get flagged a little bit. Working on some fun ideas as far as armor tests for down the road, but hitting stuff with other stuff never gets old 😂
Awesome video! I was allways wondering how medieval weapons would perform against modern armor. The only thing i kind of missed would be the damage, that something like a warhammer, wich was especially effective against heavy armor, would have done to modern armor.
The problem with headshots is that your target is probably wearing a helmet. In that case you can only shoot him when he is facing you. That means he can see you. Maybe you can squeeze an arrow through the back of his neck, i don't know if neck has some protection with modern armor
More like these please it's actually great and i really happy to see it. Also man i hope your playthrough is Nord in Skyrim because you look like the one! 😆
Working to make some more these take me a couple of days cause I only have like an hour or so each day to film with work and kids and such but I will try to make more longform stuff. It’s a fun challenge.
@@dashrendar5320Oh, now i understand why you don't make much like these, it's understandable man. Always family and work first then this will come after, no worries. Regardless of the length, i always appreciate your shorts and videos!
Try a leaf shape arrow head made of Cromium-Cobalt-Molybdenum alloy. I have two, it is an extremely hard material, yet flexible enough to absorb heavy blows. And because it is so incredible hard, it can be sharpened much more than softer material like carbon steel or bronze. It's used in the dental area. Don't know the english term. Zahntechnik in german. These arrows were able to punch through my linothorax as if it was not there. I had bound it against a target, so there were 28 layers of glued linen. And it went through and into the target behind. I used a 45lbs bow.
How hard do they hit? In ft lbs of Ke. (YMMV) Sword/mace/axe 150 Arrow/Bow 100 Arrow/Crossbow 300 Brown Bess Musket 2,000 .38 FMJ 250 45 ACP 370 9mm NATO 420 5.56 NATO 1,300 7.62 NATO 2,600 .50 BMG 13,000
Idk if you do this type of content but there’s a book series called rangers apprentice it’s a little young but it has a lot of archery in it and would love for someone like you to review it
Seeing you hit them in the head makes me wonder how an arrow would work vs a ballestic helmet. Its basically the same concept as the 3a plate but its lamentated as well
@@dashrendar5320the fact that you take the time to talk to everyone shows a lot. And I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate you 😃 I had kinda lost any drive to do anything I used to like doing until I started watching your stuff and now I'm getting the gusto back and starting up doing the things I used to enjoy doing again. I have been in law enforcement (corrections) for 3 years now and it kinda drains your mind and especially your spirit with some of the stuff you see and watching your videos about your progress and seeing your determination to hone your skills kinda made me remember who I was before the job and made me realize I don't have to be just 1 I can be both and have that outlet to destress and I really do thank you from the bottom of my heart man.
Thanks so much man, life can be brutal and just suck the joy out but finding that passion in other areas can help keep you not only sane but just full of more life! Keep at it my friend 💪🏹
While not all the weapons penetrated the armor the energy dispersing into the target would def make for a bad day. Even if a spear didn't go through my armor I sure as hell wouldn't want to be hit with one thrown full force. Not to mention like you said there are other areas to hit. Thanks for the video glhf
Very interesting “what if”. I thought it interesting that the bodkins defeated the IIIA somewhat, as with bullets the philosophy for defeating kevlar is fast and small. If you go far enough in the other direction, say, a projectile weighing 4-5x a .44 magnum round, that does the trick too.
Kevlar is weak to cutting (it's literally a fabric) and IIIA is just Kevlar. Straight NIJ 3 is when you start getting into polymers and ceramics and the cut resistance increases accordingly.
Excellent contribution to science. Also, I can attest to modern flat broadheads easily defeating level 3A armor. That was the non-stabproof atuff though.

Genuinely cool to see modern armor stand up against some beautiful weaponry, this also makes me love lvl 3 plates alot more
For the flip side, modern FMJ pistol ammo (38/9/45) can penetrate medieval plate armor (and WWII helmets) from 30 to over 120 yds.
Actually, and for our own wonder, that very depends. :)

Love the content man!
Одно удовольствие смотреть на эту стрельбу из лука! Это эстетично выглядит и слишком красиво! Спасибо за подобный контент!!!
Pretty cool demonstration. You remind me of young Lorenzo Lamas in Renegade
Hey thank you so much! Super glad you enjoyed it
Idk if you do this type of content but there’s a book series called rangers apprentice it’s a little young but it has a lot of archery in it and would love for someone like you to review it
I actually did a few videos about that early on, they were just shorts, but it’s my favorite archer series. Halt is my all-time favorite!
I will have to find those I love your content keep it up
It’s hell using a bow with a broken sternum
What we need is a 3A ballstic gambeson
Ha that would be legit!
In the movies we see how one cuts the head with a sword with one move. Could try that?

Almost 😁
Came out of felial piety to Admin. Will sub.
Haha awesome
Great video. I really enjoyed it.
Thank so much, glad you did
Seeing you hit them in the head makes me wonder how an arrow would work vs a ballestic helmet. Its basically the same concept as the 3a plate but its lamentated as well
I am working to try and get one soon. That would be a fun test.
I needed this video so much and I didn't know!!!!
Haha awesome! So glad you enjoyed it
Great video! can you make one for a medival mace?
I am getting a mace for Christmas from my wife 😂 so soon
Try the armor with chain mill
For the algorithm, science can be fun.
Indeed it can be 😁
He used to be an adventurer like us….
Dude you and that bow of yours amaze me
Hey thanks so much for that my dude, truly appreciate it
@@dashrendar5320the fact that you take the time to talk to everyone shows a lot. And I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate you 😃 I had kinda lost any drive to do anything I used to like doing until I started watching your stuff and now I'm getting the gusto back and starting up doing the things I used to enjoy doing again. I have been in law enforcement (corrections) for 3 years now and it kinda drains your mind and especially your spirit with some of the stuff you see and watching your videos about your progress and seeing your determination to hone your skills kinda made me remember who I was before the job and made me realize I don't have to be just 1 I can be both and have that outlet to destress and I really do thank you from the bottom of my heart man.
Thanks so much man, life can be brutal and just suck the joy out but finding that passion in other areas can help keep you not only sane but just full of more life! Keep at it my friend 💪🏹
Keep the videos up, also try some witcher themed stuff
That would be fun to do for sure
At what range is the War bow very lethal say if real situations going to occur? I’m loving this research 🤘
Mine can shoot a max distance of a bit over 200 meters but I can only “group” them at that distance. No pinpoint accuracy for sure
Valuable information.
While not all the weapons penetrated the armor the energy dispersing into the target would def make for a bad day. Even if a spear didn't go through my armor I sure as hell wouldn't want to be hit with one thrown full force. Not to mention like you said there are other areas to hit. Thanks for the video glhf
Most welcome, glad you enjoyed it
It’s glorious!
You are amazing bro you look like a gladiator, but I want to know where you buy this sword and arrows from
Arrows I make myself. Sword was from Cold steel my friend
Absolutely love this video
Very interesting “what if”. I thought it interesting that the bodkins defeated the IIIA somewhat, as with bullets the philosophy for defeating kevlar is fast and small. If you go far enough in the other direction, say, a projectile weighing 4-5x a .44 magnum round, that does the trick too.
Kevlar is weak to cutting (it's literally a fabric) and IIIA is just Kevlar. Straight NIJ 3 is when you start getting into polymers and ceramics and the cut resistance increases accordingly.
Excellent contribution to science. Also, I can attest to modern flat broadheads easily defeating level 3A armor. That was the non-stabproof atuff though.
Thanks so much man, I truly appreciate that, yeah, it makes sense that flat broad heads, especially would be able to go through pretty easily
What an awesome channel!
