In case nobody else has said it, watch the muzzle flash at 12:00 and tell me seeing the casings isn't cool.
It was badass
first time watching it was a total trip, super cool
It was sick
Damn I just commented that before reading this. Honestly.... Coolest part of the vidja 😂
It looked like a video game or movie effect 😂, totally awesome.
I'm a bit on the ancient side, being 72 years old, but I really wonder what the two most common rounds of WW-II would do to that body armor. Of course I am talking about the 30-06 and the 8mm Mauser.
Are we talking about the armor piercing rounds from the period?
@@hansgruber9685 No, just the standard FMJ rounds carried by your average infantry.
I'm thinking it stops it but just barley with the armor stuck into your half open guts. Would be interesting to see a 200gr round vs a 150.
Oh yes👍
All depends on what kind of armor.. 🤔
I't would be intresting to see it fired out of period corect full lenght rifles😊
But quality rifle rated plates should stop standard FMJ no problema..
it would pass straight trought this soft armor but a steel plate would stop a bunch of them
Can't have Science without a lab-coat... It's been scientifically proven.
8:49 "and the weapon has fired" - Grand Master Jay
Whatever happened to dear grand masturbator jay? He in prison yet for pointing a weapon at the FBI? Or maybe friendly fire like when his nfac fuked around and shot each other? He didn't even know the difference between an AR -15 he was holding and a bullpup as he called it.
@@HowardLuken Remember in fast n the furious, the fed that they were trying to get paul to work with undercover? Yap, thats jay, glowing like hiroshima.
Cool to see armor being tested
Ya test like this have never been done before🤪
Many safe life videos on TH-cam for years fam
8:50 "I smacked it a little hard" The gun has fired grand Master j
You love testing armor.I love watching armor testing
This is my favorite type of video from you, testing less talking…. Great information bro! I just ordered 2 of them thanks to you!
Hey Eric, I think doing an experiment regarding backface deformation would be interesting to see. Testing soft armor, hard armor, and hard armor with ballistic padding to see if there’s credence to the small inserts.
Y'all need some shock sensors just the impact may still be fatal.?
Yeah man like the myth busters used on buster! That would be awesome
I would love to see a level 4 get hit with .338 lapua, or if not that, .300 winmag or .300 prc
100m,300m, & 600m would be very cool to watch imo.
The videos are out there. Just not on this channel.
300 win mag scirraco specifically
Hard level 4 would stop it but you have a high chance of severe injury or even death just from the blunt impact.
There is a point where the velocity doesn't matter and the energy alone kills you. It's why IIIA says it stops a .44 mag and 12ga slug, because it will stop more, but it's a moot point when the bad guy has 10ga or a .454.
8:49 Hey man Grand Master Jay from NFAC said people die everyday by hitting the butt of your rifle and loading a round like that... man I sure am glad the rubber dummy had body armor and the rifle was pointed in a safe direction someone could've been killed....
LMFAO great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
“You can drop the bolt by slapping its ass” now im stuck doing it.
@@fajile5109 LMFAO!!!
It’s also an XR-15 bullpup
Free Gmj NFAC
Lmfao Eric is such a wordsmith I love how he describes thing. I lost my shit when he was talking about busting the door open and a guy with an sks is standing there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Being that flexible, man are some ribs gonna snap. Awesome stuff though
This is assuming anyone using an SKS can shoot it accurately enough to hit you in that location.
Man, ain’t that the truth it’s like Clint Smith has said body armor is nice but you have to fight someone competent enough with a weapon to hit it.
@@craigsteinkamp12 yup armor is basically a reserve parachute once everything else has already gone to heck.
Lol everyone in Canada that actually uses their SKS (for hunting or target) is a gunsmith and a crack shot
Synopsis of the outcome: "It's gonna hurt!"
45-70 Gov. Definitely would be cool
Would be very interesting to see these kinds of tests done on a ballistic anatomical dummy.
I love this test. There is an argument between AK and AR users over which bullet is better, but I think your test reveals a different perspective. Do you want Velocity, or do you want Joules? From what I learned, 5.56 will concentrate more energy in a smaller area and dump energy very fast. The 7.62 seems to get its penetration from its own mass but does not explode as the smaller round would. Just overall fascinating.
if I had to choose, I would pick an AK
12:00 that ejected brass looks freaking awesome
When the mutant was being fired, the flash from the muzzle made it look like the ejected brass was being suspended in mid air. Very cool effect.
I'd like to see out of date armor tested. If you can find some old ballistic nylon, (my first concealed armor) would be great too.
Doctor Eric with another armor test. Love that stuff. Nice slomotion
Man! Look at those casings being ejected in the massive muzzle flash from that Mutant... So neat. Like a strobe light 😂
Another first class video. Good job.
Thank you so much for showing the capabilities of this soft armor. Talon sie just showed it so thank you for shooting it! Lol. Great channel!
I love those armor test. Good job bro.
God bless
Nice T, good to see you test.
Appreciate the great content. Would love to see some flintlock and matchlock VS body armor. Would be a fun goof
Been waiting for this one! Alright!
Love that VN/A1 style m16 with the tan furniture, beautiful.
Bought it. Love it.
Wow Georgia is beautiful, I wish that I lived there and as always great fun watching your content.
Always love the body armor reviews but when are you going to shoot some 7.62x25 at some body armor?
Dude, the strobe effect during the mutant scene, was probably the coolest thing I've seen on youtube in a long time....
Awesome video
Awesome testing. I love that mutant!
Thanks for testing... i was just going to take my chances with mine i use for work.
I would like to see the result of a hard cast heavy boolit from a 45-70 or 50-90 or 50-110 something in the 600 plus grain weight class. That would be interesting!! Cool video professor!!
I'm really digging that cmmg mutant... definitely gonna be next blaster I'm getting
I wanna see some OLD rifles shot at some plates. Like I’m running down a dirt road and boom a get hit with a 30-40 Krag from a Krag-Jorgenson.
Awesome dude
I would like to see this test again with the Level IIIA plate added as described on the Manufacturer Website.
Man on target fully automatic is crazy your aim is impressive
Here….we….go!!!
thank you for the video!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s some good stuff
Love science, Good work!
ZOMG! 30 rounds ended up penetrating the armor, ban 30 rd mags, keep dummies safe!
Always like in field armor tests, the "plate" getting stuck was awesome.
Put a can of Tannerite behind the plate and see if it sets it off.......
Pretty impressive stuff
I'd love to see armor shot with the sharpest 25-45. That would be interesting!
- Somehow, with the lab coat, you bear a strong resemblance to Burnie Berns of Rooster Teeth.
Im disabled and obviously on a low budget, but the wife and i own lllA vests from Bulletsafe, would you mind doing a review/demo...please!
The only problem with soft armor is that you are going to take a lot more impact than hard plates. Although Soft plates are very good for confined spaces and flexibility
Thanks for the testing Eric! 🇺🇸
Yeah, you’re still gonna be dead! Just from flying bone fragments puncturing your heart, lungs and arteries instead of bullet holes. Not to mention, just the impact could bruise and stop your hear or cause internal bleeding! It’s funny when folks think that just the bullet penetrating will kill you. People die in car accidents from hitting the steering wheel causing chest trauma and internal bleeding.
@@GrumpyGenXGramps it actually bruises your lungs and the soft sponge flesh falls apart and gets sucked into the arteries where it causes a heart attack. So even if you dont feel that beat up after a crash try deep breaths or coughing then go get a chest scan anyway.
I though that you would try the 308 too.
But a full magazine of 7,62x39 is also a good idea.
“Survivability is questionable at best” the armor plate is completely shredded to fragments. 😂
I’ll rather have broken ribs and shortness of breath than to be dead this armor is good enough for me I’m definitely going to spend money with safe life
I thought this was like dragon skin. Remember that armor?
When you need to bruteforce something, of course use 7.62x39 - it delivers :)
I would love to see someone make a straight up suit of armor out of the fras system and level 3 + plates. Like steel plates covering the major vitals and the fras armor covering all the in betweens
9.3, 45-70, Martini, Snider, Swivel Gun, Cannon. The heavy stuff.
Id like to see the fras plate in conjunction with a level 3 or 3a from safe life what all it will stop
I watched the other FRAS demo. Please use the gel dummy for these experiments. I think it is more visually impactful.
Thumbs up and shared. :)
For what you said about velocity/mass, only applies to steel. Velocity kills steel, mass is better against against ceramic/composite plates. Of course material of the round plays a huge part. And any increase in velocity, with more mass is gonna be better. But that’s the gist of it
I would love to see the results of some tracer and incendiary rounds vs soft/flexible rifle cal. rated body armor.
Tracers won’t make a difference. The incendiary round would depend on what type of incendiary and what kind of soft/flexible armor.
@ 4:14 Much how snowshoes function on top of snow vs piercing through ... PSI.
8:48 the infamous bullpup demonstrating its ability to take your head off
I'd argue the Australian F1 is a superior SS109, but they're all close enough to the same spec. Good stuff. Might be interesting to show the effects on the body these soft plates have with one of those fancy ballistic dummies with bones and simulated organs over hard plates.
And for radon stuff shot at armor, remember your old vid, of crazy, old calibers, culminating in the parrot cannon? Something similar please, you didn’t have your crazy Mauser then, or various elephant guns, just along those lines, large, heavy rifle rounds, moving pretty quick, would definitely be interesting to see.
I’ve always wondered how brush guns would do against armor especially 45-70 🧐🤔
They should make a suit made of this. That covers every body part
With how light that armor is, how do we know that the SKS didn't already cause fatal organ damage just from the severe impact?
Well we dont, we just have to hope that the armor spreads the force out over enough surface area that it doesn't cause fatal damage
I wonder though, are there any tried and true metrics for surviving blunt force trauma from ballistic plates? I feel confident that the thick heavy AR500 plates probably mitigate any severe blunt trauma. But when we get to these light/flexible plates, I'd think simple penetration tests aren't enough. Granted, the plate is obviously better than having holes poked in you, but it'd be nice to know if you're still gonna die from beaten and brused organs.
Good video
Great video! I think you should shoot it with the Canon. Just because. 👍😁 Thanks for the entertainment
Yes I like body armor a lot..I got some old armor in truck .it would stop handgun rounds ? 😊
I want to see a video on a d30 trauma pad. Their website says they have them but nobody has done a vid!
Ide love to see armor test with the ballistics dummy torso to see what it does as far as broken ribs blunt force trauma ECT to see if even the impact alone causes internal bleeding
You should use a stick type metal detector to verify the projectile is in there.
Many layers of UHMWPE is on this soft armor?
I've been a fan since you started can you bring back gun meltdown
One more comment, my CATI steel armor would it take all those rounds without any issues. This is base on the test that I watch before buying the armor. I wish you could test them too. It would be great if you can.
God bless
I would like to see the new 4.5lbs premiere body armor level IV shot and tested.
Chad looks so good modeling that armor 😂
Looking to get some plates for my Spiritus Lv119 carrier, preferably Lv IV. If y'all got your hands on some RMA Lv IV 1155 plates to test out, I'd tune in!
I would like to have saw at least 1 shot from your SCAR 17 even though i know its not rated for it. Thanks
That's quite a thump
We need a keltec su-16 review and/or a meltdown
Sorry, that Norma .223 Remington is not loaded to M193 specification. You'll be lucky to see 3000 fps from that load in a 20" barrel. TL:DR use a chronograph ;)
We confirmed the velocity to be consistent with M193. It’s moving 👍🏻
Probably why he picked it lol
Damn that's some interesting armor. What is it made out of?
Please do more videos with your 458 win mag!!!!!
yes, yes, yes! that Mk47.
"You'll see some shots floating through," terribly unfortunate choice of words there when discussing body armour, my friend. 😆
Id like to see some UHMWPE tested at higher temperatures, like if it were stored in a car on a 100° day and maybe higher to see how it affects performance
IIRC NIJ protocol for hard armor has a armor thermal cycle, where the first conditioning is 10 days at 149F. 149F is not a huge concern for PE. The breakdown of glue between the ceramic and UHMWPE could happen with temperature cycling over time.
Could we see a test with 300 blk and with some 77 grain OT?
Amazing but i would still like to see the armor mrgunsandgear tested one that was made from poliutherene and stoped almost anything.
I am wandering if some 10mm underwood extreme penatrators might make it through some of these plates. Saw a video with it going through some pretty thick bullet proof glass like a hot knife through butter. Maybe out of 10 inch barrel, and then out of a 5 inch if it makes it through.
No way a handgun round is going through a rifle plate like that, soft armor though? I believe the extreme defender ammo can go through.
Shoot some body armor with that short Martini rifle I saw pics of or your Comalader (I don't know how to spell either rifles but they are very cool) and of course your swivel gun .
I was pretty shocked it stopped that Norma out of a 20 inch bbl
Because that norma is slow as turtles ;)
