If I recall correctly, one of the issues with a heavy duty body plate they used to make for bullet proof vests, was that it ricocheted bullets upward into the wearers skull. Which isn't ideal...
Spalling. Its actually the opposite of deflection. The bullet hits the wall perfectly flat and actually shatters like glass. A lot goes away, but the top portion of the bullet has nowhere to explode but up. And thats usually your chin.

The problem with this concept is that it depends entirely on your directional relationship to the line of fire. If your assailant moves 10 degrees away from directly in front of you, the results will be devastating.

Honestly I wasn't expecting a plate that thin to deflect rounds from a .223, let alone a .308, even at an angle like that.
Think about it tho. The plate has a high hardness and is angled pretty well. Also, those bullets have a pretty high chance of ricochet or shattering as they're spire point/spitzer. The curve from the middle section to the tip is very similar to the angle of the plate, so when the edge of the bullet hits the angled plate, it just kind of slides off. The bullet would probably have to have a lot of power to negate those dynamics. Could put a square shaped ballistic cap on it (like APBC tank rounds) so when it hits the plate it crumples and pulls the bullet into the angle of the plate. Over explanation done
Angled armour was excessively used during world war ii for example the Soviets T-34 it's angled armour was able to deflect rounds as big as a 75 millimetre due to it's mostly 60° angled frontal armour and mostly 40° angled side armour
@@dylanmcgill9544 bro t 34 armour wasnt THAT effective against flak 88. Round from any tank from pz4 to tiger 2 will easily penetrate t 34, let alone the a little more armoured version aka 85 which came in 1944, before it had smaller calibre gun like 76mm, 57. Pzgr 39 the shell that was used in pz4 and stug may penetrate 99mm 60° sloped armour, while t34 frontal armour plate was only 45mm

My problem with this design is that the bullet might ricochet to another person close to them. Which can be hazardous if your give a whole squad of dudes these. But if I make some droids or killer robots with armor like this yeah that would be a lot more intimidating.
It would be best used for someone like an eod specialist, but for direct combat

I always used to wonder why we never saw stuff like “polygonal armor” in semi-contemporary science fiction. Armor being able to “guide” bullets away from making a solid impact would genuinely be the coolest shit ever.
Except that its incredibly bulky and unweildy

@@burp2019 agreed

@@umbananaqualquer4052time to tankmaxx
Biggest issue seems to be that you can't predict where that shrapnel will fly once it deflects off your sloped armor. Your arms will probably be shredded. And if you're really unlucky, a piece might blind you. But it's definitely a helluva interesting concept.
Put a sidewall to catch the shrapnel.
triangle arm guards lol
That's what anti spalling coating is for
Yep or if it will hit the people around you
@@ieuanhunt552 anti spalling coating won't help because spalling isn't what's happening here. The whole round is being deflected. That isn't spalling
17th century armor is the closest to angled armor it gets, but even they weren't stupid enough to make it ricochet bullets (for the most part...) Because it might save your life but your buddy next to you will eat more than his daily dose of shrapnel...
@The Great Memery(Remastered) not true, could've just made it round or flat like other previous armor designs that could fit a wearer just as well, and most armor at the time was thick and heavy as you said, by making it slope in the front they could reduce the thickness a little though, using less material was preferable for cheaper manufacturing cost and wearer's comfort
The shrapnel will also fragment and go into your arms.
@The Great Memery(Remastered) 14 and 15 century cuirasses were round to deflect spear blow (you can also track it in bascinet helmet with houndskull visor, that is conical) also great helmets had this central ridge and slopes to deflect spears too
@@PhospheneMan yes thats pretty much what im talking about, deflecting a spear blow and a bullet is the same except in the case of the bullet you need a sharper angle.
@bob bobthebobbobofbobby And how I'm wrong? In 14-15 c cavalry needed sloped armour to deflect strikes. When soldiers on foot used more common brigantines and kettlehats, coz its met all theirs requirements (good vision, light + cheap)
David saying shut the f*ck up to the birds made me laugh
one huge detractor from the sloped body armor is the "spalling, shrapnel, or bullet fragments"( pick the name you prefer). The armor you made is too wide for the wearer to use his arms and still his arms are getting ripped up. Make the armor narrow enough for good arm motion and every round would rip up the arm on the impact side disabling the wearer. Modern approved armor is designed to capture those tiny high velocity razor blades.
if he makes it any smaller the armor won't fit and the rounds would just ricochet into his body.
@@potatoman7594 ya, so then just make it like proper body armor, this design is a total failure, Hollywood would have you believe that bullet/fragmentation wounds to the arm are nothing to worry about,,, but there are a few arteries in the upper arm/shoulder region that can bleed you out in minutes.
They did experiment with angled body armour in World War 1. Look up Brewster Body Shield. It worked well to stop rifle bullets, but the armour overall was really cumbersome. Also, if too steeply angled, the bullet could ricochet into one of your buddies, so that's not something you would want.
I hope they didn't find out the hard way- bouncing bullet 🤣🤣
Ricochet into yer buddy, that wouldn't be ideal.
It seems to be more useful as a person alone going out as distraction to the enemy.
@@trevorallen3212 "YEAH, SEND ME, I'LL TAKE ALL THE BULLETS!"
What if they stood in a geese v formation? Or stood in a semi circle to send the bullets back to the enemy.
The benefit of angled armour isn't that it just increases the thickness for penetration but it also redirects the energy of the projectile. Similar to the way lighting will follow the path of least resistance, bullets still require "bite" before they can even begin to penetrate.
But they are kinda impractical and dangerous.
Redirects it to the side. Where your unarmored arms are...
@@sneeringimperialist6667 Here is a novel idea, corrugated armor. Put a layer of ceramic tiles at the front to break up the projectile, a metal plate made of triangles in the middle, and Kevlar a the back to catch spalling.
@@sheeplord4976 tanks use laminate armor similar to that.
Of course you need to bite before penetrating
I've literally wondered this since i was 7 years old. Thank you for figuring it out for me, even if its 30 years later!
There was some history show decades ago that tested knight armor (helmets and chest armors) in a similar way against bow and arrows. A lot of the curves and edges deflected the arrows. This video totally reminded me of that.
The anti material round is specifically designed for punching through metal. Military uses them for disarming mines and eods. Because they are really good for punching through metal. If you used a standard 50bmg I’m curious if it’d still punch through.
That looked like ball ammo
It wasn’t a 50bmg to begin with mate
Plates looks about 5mm max, assuming it's angled 45° you get about 7mm of effective armor. Ball rounds can pen about 12 mm, I think it would go through(assuming it doesn't ricochet)
@@Bonedagi I think ball round can pen 20 mm. Tungsten armor piercing can pen up to 30 mm
That was just lead. No tungsten penetrator, no mass-reactive space magic. Just a chunk of lead the size of your thumb moving really fast. Not special at all
Historically armor has been made with deflection in mind, but modern armor prioritizes mobility.
Well arrows and bullets are different things
@@Demoneye097 Yeah! One is a projectile and the other is a... oh... shit.
@@Demoneye097 crosbow belts and apfsds rounds are basicaly same thing
And the point of angled armor is that it makes it harder to penetrate, while simultaneously reduce the material needed to reach specific deflection target. If you used to need a 90mm of steel to reach specific target, slope it 45 degrees and you will require only half of it (not exact math). Reduced armor => Reduced weight => Increased mobility
with exoskeletons maybe bulky angled mech armor makes comback
that armour is just amazing... !.
it did alot more than I ever expected.
thought it would go through the first shot
I have some black plastic sheet that still stop some pistol rounds
Well most edc ones
Probably not a 10mm or .357 or larger
We made a garage out of it
It broke my crossbow bolts when I shot it
This makes me think of plate armor and how it’s curved to deflect attacks. I wonder how this would work if it was curved instead of angled.
"this is a Barrett anti-material rifle"
Me: *psychotic giggles*
Big gun go brrrrrrr
well not exactly its in .416 which was more designed for long range ballistics rather than anti materiel properties and its kinda a weird pairing in a somewhat innacurate rifle but laws are laws and whatever

"actually. that migh-"
We had a welding shop make angled 1/4" steel plate armor to cover our radio-controlled targets at an Army range at FLW, MO. The .556 ball rounds we used went right through it.
It was just more heavy crap to lug out to the range every day. We stopped using it and buried the targets behind sandbags per the TM.
Whatever this metal is is better than steel. Either that, or 200 people shooting at it all day was a better test than a couple rounds from a bolt-action.
I'm gonna guess that its probably the latter 😂

After a certian velocity rounds tend to im ed themselves mooting the angled armour for richochet, deflection purposes. The increased distance the penetrator needs still takes effect but yea its more like a fluid
That answers some questions I had.
Trying to make a manga, with guns and all, I thought "bullet are like tank round, but to protect tank we angled the armor, why not do the same with body armor ?" And then begun designing my characters armor with angled armor.
This video proves me that it works so thanks.
In theory, yes. In practice, only if you're facing dead on with the shooter
@@daz211 If you're been shot from the side or rear, angled armor or not it is pretty much the end for you
Atleast it works when you're facing the baddies and the impact of the bullet would hurt less since you have space between your armor and your chest and also you're maybe not going to fall to the ground after the first shot since the bullet bounce so it doesn't transfer all his energy to you (this argument is totally hypothetical, I have absolutely no idea what I am saying and I hope you or someone else can correct me if I say sh*t)
I was thinking that wouldn't it be more comfortable to use em like thin, lightweigjt forward facing ballistic shields? I mean as shown in the vid the sloped armor despite being thin is effective.
If used as body armor maybe make it like a 3 piece armor? 2 sloped left and right, and at the center/chest besides the sloped armor is a standard thick piece of flat metal, but then as much as possible the sloped areas are larger compared to the single-flat-armor.
@@bendavidandrada3323 you would not be able to move, even with a super cool exo skele, too much shit in the way
itd be cool for a machine though! like a robot/mech or vehic- oh wait
@@sirsnek6562 I mean, it can be configured so that you can still move when applied to an exo-skeleton, sure.
I honestly didn't expect a random video about a body armour to be THIS hilarious. I love when ppl aren't afraid of putting some really good jokes in their videos! Great vid!
The geometry is sound and works. The issue is bulk, protecting your arms, and as many have pointed out. The design is only effective with the V facing the shooter. If the shooter is at an angle to you, it defeats the deflection function of the V plate.
I think the most dangerous aspect of this kind of armour is the increased risk of ricochet hitting a team member. The reduced damage is a trade off between the amount of energy sapped from the projectile. Shame really because it make a huge difference to the integrity of the plates.
Still, i think its better to have a casual chance to ricochet into a team member than a certain direct body hit into you or anyone from your crew
Who care about teammate if YOU lived at the end of the day gotta look out for #1
I like this video. No long redundant explanations, quick damage assessments, well timed transitions and cuts. Straight to the point
i've been thinking about sloped armor plates for a while glad you made this video that finally answered my question all these years
The problem is the spalling. Those fragments will go into your extremities and if unlucky right into the soft underbelly of your jaw.
i cant see the reply so annoying yt bill gates whatever fix yo shit
@@fearlesskugkug5192 yeah, honestly
WHY IS THAT?!
"without adding any weight"
popular misconception, this is not quite how geometry works; tldr that's "a bit" more complicated
but deflection part still works.
That was pretty funny that you missed with the first .50 round. I hope you’re not actually depressed though, you look like you’ve got a good fan base and lots of fun ideas! Keep your chin up!
2:17 The way he looked at my soul..
Would have been interesting to see how much angle the steel plate needs to deflect to bullet.
Pro tip: If you keep increasing the angle of incident the bullet eventually just misses.
Yeah thats a good question
That's super interesting how less material is stronger just by angling it slightly. Though I can see why this isn't used in practice for regular body armor: You don't know where you're gonna get shot from. If you're hit straight on a flat, the bullet goes right through. So basically the armor working or not would basically just be like pulling a gacha at that point.
If the issue is not knowing where you're being shot from, what about 2 layers of armor, the 2nd layer being slanted at a fixed 45 degrees of the first? There'd still be an angle where you're weakest, but it'd cover you from a direct hit for the most part (assuming the bullet hit your armor and not some unarmored part or you).
i can't help but wonder if a 3in plate have 2 of them have them space out some i wonder if that work some and can't help but wonder if the 1st plate could slow down a lot of the energy and 2nd plate could kill off the rest of the energy and round don't get a chance to go through
@@keithrees4755 People dont understand how heavy body armor is. Thats the biggest issue of effective armor, is the weight. Those normal plates are like 30-40 lbs. If you make it too thick or have too many plates, it becomes un-practical to carry/use
you can somewhat work around it by sloping it in a form closer to a late medieval cuirass, rather than just melding two plates together
having a one piece idea i don't think is a good idea when stuff can go right through with out much worry yes i know having 2 plates of armor using the space armor idea is heavy but that 1st line of def is to slow the round down and if it still has any power left that 2nd plate can stop it *hopefully* and how far apart should the space be in the middle i say the entire length of the bullet

Slopped armor definitely works and it is well known to work. Though most armor goes for a far less drastic shape than having a big V. If you look, a lot of ballistic plates for vests are curved.
The "Brewster Body Shield" from WW1 essentially used this exact concept to make an experimental, relatively lightweight bulletproof suit of armour, so that the troops of the Entente Powers could cross no-man's land and beat the Bosch. Ultimately not adopted, considered too heavy and bulky to be practical.
HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE STRUCK FROM ALL THE RICOCHET?
Was there ever any use or idea of triangular shields that you would place down in front of you as make shift cover from bullets?
That didn’t look like a standard 50 round
I’m so mad that nobody got the Lee Harvey Oswald joke at 6:27 it’s fucking hilarious
one of the reasons this kind of armor was discarded was the tendency to sent the bullet to your side. And planting a bullet on your comrade's ribs is considered as a dick move.
This method is used in tanks to conserve space for optimal crew efficiency, saving materials, and saving weight.

Ryan: "sloped armor!" 😅
The triangular armor idea can actually work pretty well on ballistic shields now that I think of it, the shield is directional anyway so might as well make a bit angled
5:45 the doll held it long enough.
The idea of angled armor is really cool. Hell I even saw a guy in a movie with that angled chest plate you use, but he had it covering his whole face with a narrow slit to see through. It looked weird, like he had a metal cheese head. But this is proof that his helmet would actually work. But feeling the Shockwaves from the bullets would probably be really bad on your body, still beats taking a bullet to the flesh of your face though.
Could be cool for a shield to use alongside standard body armor
I like the way you think...
I find the idea very interesting for a ballistic shield. I did not see the characteristics of the metal used, that is to say its thickness and what type of metal used? I am very curious because I myself love ballistic velocity experiments
As cool of a video this is, wearing triangular body armor wouldn’t be a great idea for a multitude of reasons like mobility and ability to do certain things like lie down on your stomach. But other than that, a bullet being deflected to the left or right could cause fragmentation to hit your arms or hand or other body parts, depending on where they get deflected to
Put more armor in the legs and arms
or the stray rounds could fuck your battle buddy up

Bro reinventing medieval armour without realizing. If angles steel stopped bullets then guns wouldn't have taken over warfare.
Probably effective for home defense since most of the robbers carry pistols. Rather than making a slanted armor, you can create a huge triangular shield that you can carry around which can cover your head and body when being shoot at.
So basically a riot shield
Then the bullets deflect and hit a family member. Good thinking.
Like pyramid head?
@@johnm3907 Better odds of them living from the triangular riot shield deflection over being shot without any protection.
@@johnm3907 you guys need to start armoring your family
the AR wasn't shooting low, the optic and bore have an offset at short distance. for example, if the parallel sight line of your optic is 3" above the bore of your barrel, at 15 yards you can expect your point of aim and point of impact to about 3" offset. there's more to it than that, but that's the gist of it.
FYI that knife is illegal to carry in Germany. One handed opening is only legal if it doesn't lock into place, locking into place is only legal if it needs two hands to be opened.
Not that anyone adheres to that law but I was pretty close to getting into big trouble because of similar knives a few times before.

That style of armor became popular in the 16th century when black powder guns and crossbows starting making appearance on the battlefields, breast plates, shields and even helms started being made with sharp angular plates like this in order to deflect these powerful weapons that could penetrate armor.
I'd actually been thinking about a concept similar to this, though taller and more narrow. I'm interested in tanks and had the same thought on body armour's strike face, toying around with the idea of affixing a piece of steel to the front of a plate carrier.
Light and angular, covering around 30-50% of the carrier, with the idea being that you create a shot trap that would deflect most of the energy of a bullet's impact off the center of the carrier.
I appreciate the video, it shows that there's promise in the idea, just got to put it together and go through testing.
so pretty much angled spaced armour but for personal use. Like the welded on plates on the T26E4 Super Pershing hull
I have an ak variant... its a Galil in 308.. and its an absolute beast!
Only down side... its a beast. Its heavy, loud and ammo is heavy compared to an AR15... but ... between my ARs. Including my DD5V4 (in 308)... my go too is really my Galil... when the time vomes that mr tax stamp returns ill be supressing it. Then it will for sure be the go to... its vurrently the bump in the night and it will stop anything that dares enter the hpuse past the alarms, deadbolta, , the dogs, etc... and im not worried about over pen... kids BRs are upstairs 😊
Wonder if 2 layers of those slanted plates (with a relatively small gap in between) could stop the barrett. The bullet goes through the first one and has its trajectory altered so the relative slant of the second plate is greater
I'd say around a 15 mm gap would cause perforation/penetration and shrapnelling, but 35 - 45 mms space would be safe enough not to cause perforation. Provided it's the same thickness plate
I think it is pretty amazing that .223 and .308 can be deflected by your 45 degree angle steel plate prototype. This is probably why some curiassier armor would deflect sword and lance points, and possibly musket balls. How ever, like the .50 cal anti-material round, Napoleonic Cavalry armor would not deflect cannon balls. What type of hardened steel did you use?
hey it only deflected once, odds are it was dumb luck, that was total overkill, assault rifles would probably go through eventually
It wasnt even 50 bmg. Cali banned 50 cals which forced Barrett to ironically make a less powerful, but better long range round called the 416 Barrett.
I totally lost it on the Barrett test when the dummy fell forward. This is my first exposure to your content and had to subscribe. Great job uploader.
That's a really cool experiment, thanks!
BTW why were certain segments blurred like welding, loading a magazine etc? Did YT update their stupid TOS again for gun videos?
Just gotta carry two big old rectangular tower shields strapped to your arms, hold them together in a V shape and charge.
that shotgun's power really BLEW his mind.
...
But in the end it left his mind more grounded.
7:36 Love the design, I think the only thing missing for the Fat PP is a small hook slot cuz those tiny pockets are a pain to get anything out of them if they go too deep inside.....
It seems like a pretty decent idea as the military uses it for deflecting bullets away from their vehicles which isn't really a problem if they're ricocheting off around a bunch of other armored vehicles.
If you have a group of people and they're all wearing this type of body armor and the bullets are being deflected off to the sides, not so much up or down, what does that mean for the rest of the troops around you?
What would be really interesting is if you did a slow motion video showing semi automatic rapid fire at the V armor just to see where all the bullets would be flying and who would be getting taken out.
I can tell you it makes it slightly more than twice as effective given normal rounds, of it were a shaped charge round ot makes no difference, but idk if those even exist for small arms.

best way to shoot somebody with triangular body armor
step 1: shoot the rope thats carrying the armor so the armor drops
Have you guys ever noticed how most Scifi armors are usually shaped in werird ways with sharp conrners and points like this triangular armor? i assume its not just for looks but because its a clearly very useful shape for armor, and i assume its also useful against swords
Angle is a significant component but layers are essential. Try it again with two of those with a layer of kevlar in the center.

They were both lost and the fact the smoker had a lighter saved both their
lives
if your asking what they burned because it’s snow they burned a Burger King receipt and like 120$ for warmth
Fat PP, the Ps stand for Poke and Power!
I applaud you for calling the Barrett a "Anti-Material Rifle" instead of the COD fans "MUHH SNIPER RIFLE!!"
if the diameter of the round is thicker than the angled plate and thicker than it's angled depth, it usually goes through. if not, the spalling is usually really, really bad because the light armor will transfer almost all of the heavier round's energy to its surroundings with very little reduction (which is why the slug took your dummy's head off.) Russians used to crack panthers and tigers wide open with 152 high explosive. I don't think such a tactic would work on modern tanks, but that's what missiles are for.
so you need to put more triangles on the armor. If someone actually fires at the triangle face, it will go through, so what you need to do is put more triangles on the triangle face. This is one of the reasons why our tanks are built with triangle armor.
An interesting idea for sure, but it would sort of be negated if a person was not shooting at you directly from the front, if they shout at you from like 10 or 2 o clock it’s just a straight shot this way. And most combatants don’t stand facing directly forward, a rifle shooting stance is canted inward so it’s likely that the impact from someone in front of your line of sight would hit the armor straight on. Also hope you don’t value your arms much… or people near you- yeah maybe it’s safer for personal body armor to just absorb and not ricochet 😂 love the video though hilarious
What about a modern full plate armor full with curves and chambers? Sure, would be a nightmare to engineer and prolly one to put it in the first place but hey!
I really wouldn’t worry about the shouting from any angle. It’s the rounds you need to worry about.
@@somenygaard 🤦♂️ you got me lol. INTRODUCING: SAFE SPACE ARMOR! Protects your fragile heart emotionally as well as physically!
U could definitely put more angles on it and even a few more on the inside to deflect again if it does go through. It would be really heavy though

you should use steel cored ammo. green tipped 5.56 or even old russian 7.62X54R surplus ammo thats typically steel cored. see if it goes through.
"I don't think he made it " LOL

6:26 How has no one commented on the Texas book depository joke yet?
because i don’t get it
@@Barrinetic Lee Harvey Oswald was inside the Texas School Book Depository when he assassinated JFK with a sniper rifle.
@@Longest_boi ooh
@@Barrinetic a *mindblowing* realization
What is the joke? Please, i need to know so i Can use it too.
I just found this channel and this is easily the most entertaining gun channel I’ve seen on TH-cam so far. Other ones are great, but the memes in this are hilarious asf
I mean it's not news to me what sloped armor is capapble of, because I'm into ww2 and guns, but the fact that a simply turn in that armor can save your life without changing anything in the armor, is amazing.
I can see this being designed like a cuirass. Allot more fitting to human anatomy and padded. It would be heavy but it would be situational. With good tailoring and metalworking skills, a functional cuirass could be done in a garage. Of course, it would have to include level 3 arm padding to protect from richochet. This would be very effective for indoors defense.
I've seen a .50 ricochet and come right back at the shooter, when firing at targets at a much larger range. If that .50 fired that close to the target hit the ground just right, you'd be dead. Pretty careless to shoot at targets that close to you with a round as big as .50 BMG.
its not even a 50 Bmg
3:38 Yeaq
I can think of this as a cheap shield for protecting yourself while charging at an enemy line. Would be cool if the US had a protective taller shield like this. not sure how much it would weigh, probably not enough to be worth it.
Makes you wonder why the guys landing in the beaches on D-Day didn't carry some kind of protective army shields. I know they were already carrying a lot of gear but something could have been worked out with a team.
0:39 was this the movie fury? just curious
Yep
Hi, you should put a one inch tab on the fat pp, just to make it a bit faster to be able to pull out from small pocket. Tab should be plastic with a riggid design so tab stays up right.
Maybe you should check out the craft work on the Elizabethan Peascod Armour Breast Plate. Designed to turn the shot from those damned new fangled fire arms. Quite successful and I imagine as effective against modern weaponry to a point. The armour is a flatter breast plate upper but bulges into a belly plate down toward the waist with the whole lot sporting a curve from centre to the flank. The aim was so the shot strike did not deflect down into the legs or funnily enough your cods.
