Breaking news: Nationwide shortages of baking sheets and hardcover books.
I have the books! Hehe!
Glad he didn't use toilet paper :)
too thick and heavy .. i'll pass
At least the military can't take our rocks.
Lowe's ceremic mosaic, epoxy ,welding blanket,and metal sheets sounds like a winner to me
I might be mistaken but I think he said 'do this at home, you wont die'. also, a kindle loaded with about 100 books should work a lot better than just one novel.
Scott Tuttle “don’t do this at home” bruh why you think we watching??? 🤔😂
nah it was "try this at home, you don't die"
Lmao
😂
Make sure the books are translated into Russian. I heard Russian is a really hard language.
By the way, a 2x4 wall with 7/16 osb plywood filled with rock will stop anything up to 308. line the safe side with 1/4" steel plate and it will stop up to 338 lapua. Makes good cover shooting positions, or safe rooms.
@Zach cash Yes, a rock wall will stop AP rounds too, it is mainly because the rocks, preferrably river rock, deflects the rounds as they hit the rocks dissipating the energy instantly.
Make a video
I taped a fridge to my chest ,at the end of the day I wound up eating most of my body armor and my back was killing me..
Atleast you don't have to carry all those MRE's
@@moahammad1mohammad I still love MREs I eat that hormel spaghetti throw in some Tabasco sauce just like the good stuff.
Some of my ex wife’s cooking might be able to stop a rifle round. Pretty sure....🤔😬
Is her name Ellie May?
@@matthewk6731 I forgot all about them flap jacks... too funny!
My ex wife can stop a bullet if I stand behind her..
That's cause after eating you'll be dead anyway. 😉
And that's why she's your ex.
Is that the guy who does the voice of Cleveland
No thats Seth McFarland ( no it's not.)
No way, I was about to say that. lol I thought the same damn thing hahaha
@@jaxsullivan2117 Cleveland is voiced by Mike Henry, not Seth Mcfarlane
@@FinalLugiaGuardian my bad
the rocks make for a really inconsistent surface, a set of ceramic tiles might be a better choice.
Porcelain tiles would be better, much harder then ceramic
That's the basis of Safe Life FRAS armor. But at $1,500 a panel one can't help but Wonder about more budget minded methods. 🤔 Also, epoxy instead of school glue
And they sell those 12x12 mosaic tile that are flexible and you won't shatter the whole tile after one impact. ..
@@humblehunk9022 damnnnn 😳 i am late to the game
@@WhiteDwarfVR4 now you got me wondering about some JB weld and some woven mesh.
If your choice is this or just wearing a t-shirt.....I believe the "poor boy" armor would be slightly better than nothing at all.
@G. Dileonardo *I tried using a manhole cover, but it was just too damn heavy.
@Zach cash he should do a video, it might come in handy these pandemic days
@Zach cash that's unfortunate, shit is about to hit the fan, reset is upon us and a new world order around the corner. Doesn't matter if your religious or not, don't go into their new system, REFUSE TOTAL CONTROL. At least the people that know him (including you) will have an advantage knowing how to fabric a life saving object, GOOD LUCK
@@nicoripe6055 well 4 months later and theres been over 80 days of rioting in Portland, the government wants to take our body armor, and theres a Marxist black militia that has killed 2 people. Also blm had killed a total of 32 people.
Fiber glass and ceramic tile is proven to stop rifle rounds and is wearable.
It’s not “Body Armor” it’s a DIY bullet back stop👍🏼
Cheaper than equivalent sized AR500 steel targets....
Better it than me
I watched the entire video. What I heard was this will 100% work, it’s completely safe, and everyone should make one. LOL. Nice test
Haha sure
Hey man, try casting those rocks in resin, not school glue. This is such a great idea, I never considered rock for bullet fragmentation
Add fiberglass cloth bottom and top. Then more resin to put the pans together. Then a plate of steel between the pans and book.
To expensive
The point though is to create a cheap theoretical vest that can be made from common dollar store purchases. Although, I'm guessing the book came from a 2nd hand shop, but it was also probably a dollar.
@@Tito151 the dollar store where i live definitely has books
You stopped a 5.56 at 5:56!
Good job! 😁
May as well get stuff to make body armor from Dollar Tree.....cause their Toilet Paper is is all WIPED OUT😂👍🇺🇸
Very impressive results!
I see what you did there. 😁
@@matthewk6731 😂
@ApplePie nice
boooooooooo
I’d like to see what would happen if you had some steel belted radial tire strips in the mix
You need to start a tactical cooking channel...
Man, I love this channel. Thanks for the entertainment and reviews..while I sit at home after all my construction jobs were cancelled because of this quarantine. Mandatory order of, shelter in place in Pennsylvania. Luckily I built a small gun range in my backyard and found bags of all-purpose flour as targets to be the perfect "quiet tannerite".
Recently woken non-preppers in quarantine be like... Ohhhh yeah...this will work.
Haha
@Zach cash it sounds interesting I want to hear more can you forge in a regular oven I know it's probably dumb question.
@Fan of the Gourmet tape 2 of them together 😈
I see another series of Darwin Awards following this.
I wonder about 2 layers of ceramic tile laid into the pan in a staggered fashion. With each layer of tile taped together to keep it from falling away as it breaks. Cutting the book along the spine would keep you from having a centered week spot. Or use printer paper. Tape the paper into a bundle to keep it dense. Maybe a final pan behind the book too?
Half a ream of 9.5" x 14" paper taped together instead of an open book. A couple sheets of overlapped small mosaic tiles on mesh instead of the rocks; use rubberized glue (e.g., Flex-Seal, etc.) instead of the white glue to add flexibility. Also, try body-forming the pans/package to minimize voids.
Get cardboard.
Compress it by the ton.
Sheet it.
After 50 sheets and 1inch thickness. Or whatever it is.
You’d be very rich with laminating it.
You sound like Cleavland from Family Guy. I'm kinda weirded out, but also intrigued... must... keep... watching!
Dude the comment above you has the same logo and yes he even looks like him
Not really. Not sure what episodes your watching but I've watched a lot of family guy and Cleveland show and I don't here it
Well Cleveland was voiced by a white guy sooo
Flex seal, try fabric (place mats?) For layers and still use rocks on strikeface.
Keep us entertained ♡
Thanks for the fun.
if you used smaller rocks (pebble/gravel size) to fill in the space between the larger rocks and actually made sure the glue was 100% dry i think you'd be good for 7.62x39. also the glue should totally cover the rocks so when it dries there is no space for the rocks to move around when shot, solid block of glue and rocks. i think that's where your armor failed - the rocks were too easy for the 7.62 to move w/ the wet glue. melting plastic around the rocks would probably be even more effective. using a harder igneous stone like granite would be good too, doesn't have shear layers like say sandstone for example. very cool experiment, good stuff!
You could bring the particle size so small that it would be pounder. Add water and you basically have clay
Not even. Don’t use rocks.
Use 1mm steel plates.
Rubber. 1mm
Plate. 1mm
Rubber. 1mm

I should mention that Bolts or glue ? Your choice. Both work. Equally. Reasons?
Bolts act as A pain-to repair if destroyed by a round.
While also acting as Shrapnel if Destroyed destroyed.
Glue weakens with temperatures.
Otherwise bam.
You can stop Most pistol rounds.
Rifle rounds could require another 2 plates.
@@shadowdeslaarthat suggestion kinda gets away from the whole premise behind this design, doesn't it?
@@TheYemcl it does. Just hoping someone with a Tool set and Garage could test it for me. Kinda ignorant of me thinking that though.
Nobody seen my comment except like 5 people
@shadowdeslaar it's a good thought - don't get me wrong!
Everytime you say "Don't try this at home because you'll die" cracks me up Everytime 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Why am I watching this. I got suckered in and now I'm hooked and now I have to watch it alway to the end. Great job sir Great job.
“Even tho you won’t do this”😭😂😂
I have seen bullet traps that are based on ceramic marbles. Picture a rubber mat with a few inches of loose ceramic marbles behind it, then a steel plate for a backer. I was told it would stop rifle no problem. As the bullets shatter the marbles, fresh ones fall in place and the powder comes out the bottom screen. Try different types of rocks, hard dense rock. no glue.
So far the best things that I've seen used in any kind of homemade body armor were horse mats that go inside of Barnes. Thanks for sharing and Much love from us here at TTO
I was just about to say that. Stall mats from Tractor Supply..
We used to hang paper targets with those as a backstop, they will take years of 22 plinking with practically no damage.
Seriously!!!!! Horse mats from T.S.???
The rocks would work better if you did the glue in layers. A thin layer of cyanoacryllic glue with an instant curing spray to make the rocks stuck to the sheets. Then add smaller gravel, sand, and a Flex Paste layer, leaving just enough space for epoxy before sealing both trays together would be interesting. Taping them together is probably fine. I would personally be curious about using some polyurethane too with the tape. Possibly replace the book with layers of cris-crossing fabric (make the thread perpendicular with each layer) and sheets of fiberglass mixed in. Then, just to get maximum surface area to avoid ricocheting problems, maybe it would be worthwhile to spray the finished panel with some of that graphene/carbon textured bed-liner spray paint. That is, if you’re wanting to completely avoid using Ceramic and Steel. If you are using cheap ceramic tiles or possibly even ceramic magnets, it could be worth making a “dragon skin style” array of them in between the two baking trays instead of using the epoxy hypothesized earlier in the comment. DM me if you like any of these ideas.
The thought process with the layer of sand (which could be replaced with cat litter possibly, but ideally a Alumina based Desiccant, I’ve never tested them) is that when flex seal is hit, it’ll generate heat, partially melting it. This will be good on one hand, in theory, as it allows the larger internal pieces to slightly move and dissipate pressure. However, you don’t want it to stay wet for long. So, the sand (or maybe cat litter - something else possibly) would then move into the effected area hopefully and cause the flex paste to clot up - in theory - making it regain its form quicker and so it doesn’t have to re-cure or (even worse) start to leak downward
Edit: after looking at some MSDS pages on these, I wouldn’t use the cat litter - I would probably consider trying “Damp-Rid” or something like that since Alumina based Desiccants will also dissipate and absorb heat as well as moisture. The rest of your design will do a better job of dissipating pressure. But all three together would be intriguing. Plus you could probably arrange a whole set of those free desiccant packs that come with everything for next to no cost
When you forget to add the baking soda while your cooking up rocks and come out with body armor instead! Lolll
damnnnn 😳?!*
Thank GOD I'm not the only one who made that mistake.😳😐
Using super glue and baking soda would make a very hard material.
Use fiberglass (not less than 10-40 layers, depending on a thickness) instead paper - you would be impressed.
Imagine getting fiberglass in a bullet wound that's the stuff that will give you nightmares..
@@jimyocum9556 oooffffff yeah...... That doesn't sound fun.
NICE ! I'm going to place this on my "must have for the Pandemic crisis" list, right next to Koi Pond cleaner !
Gotta ask, what's the cleaner for?
You needed the A team theme playing while making this ! I love it when a plan comes together.
May be interesting to see how it performs with varying sizes of rocks. My bet: if the front pan is filled with large ones and the back with small ones, it will be even more effective.
Wow. Why havent i thought about this yet. You are a genius. Genius!
Now do it with gorilla glue more expensive pans book on back and front with sand and rocks
vernon padilla By then you could have just bought real AR500 lvl 3 armor or lvl 4 for a few bucks more. So I guess you could try this if the boogaflu makes it impossible to get body armor.
you will become Iron Man
The comment below yours looks like the same simpsons logo
I don't think the pan price will change anything, i do think sand mixed into the glue may be good though. That or some kinda fiber.
This was hands down the funnest video I've seen. I loved it.
Some of my friends and I have played with homemade body armor in the past just for fun. I always wanted to try some kind of epoxy resin mixed with sand poured in to a form then back with diamond plate then for anti spall coat with flex seal or plasti dip. We made some once out of concrete wonder board that stopped pistol rounds.
Honestly the river rocks in a bag & duct tape was your best DiY bodyarmor, love to see a video of an improved version of that with perhaps better duct tape(i.e Gorrila Tape) and then a simple wrap of Flex Seal Tape with a bit of heat
Keep in mind, this set up was about 1 inch of rocks. Those pans are slightly over 1/2 inch. I think a zip lock bag swells out to 3-3.5 inches; 2.75 inches stops .308. A frozen pizza box is about 1.5 inches thick, but it bulges out when filled. I would love to see what a 1.5 inch of rocks box kept flat, and with Gorilla tape, can stop. I think
Try using smaller rock and bond it with fiber reinforced cement or maybe the resin thy use for bar tops and of course the book.Great video!
@Rick V Or maybe steel wool instead of fiberglass.
Best video ever in this channel LOL are you going to try some other recipe s in the future? like an amazon kevlar?
I think you should try and glue ceramic tiles from the hardware store instead of the rocks... You would get more even coverage... 12"x12" tile stacked two or three deep in each pan... Then use flex seal to glue them in place... A little more expressive but maybe more effective?
Hey, thanks for the video! How do you think the armor would react with steel balls, or ball bearing balls instead of rocks? Thanks for your reply!!
I'm impressed, that's pretty impressive for what it is. If TSHTF and you had nothing, something like this would sure beat zero protection. Until then I'll take your advice and leave the experimentation to you! LOL!
2 of the same pans.
Hot glue baked to fill each.
Sandwich a 1/4” aluminum plate between.
22lr or 38 special rates maybe?
2nd try, exchange aluminum for ceramic tile
Dude, flex Seal every layer and both sides of the baking pans! Try that!
Ceramic tiles and polycarbonate plastic bonded with epoxy resin and fiberglass should do the trick.
Would be curious if you added ceramic tiles? I know they don't have them at $stores but u can get samples from home improvement stores.
Luv your channel.
Jason Velasquez I was thinking the same thing, titles and flex seal, and samples of thick wall paper.
problem with the rocks is that not all of them are even, there's about a 30% chance the bullet will pass through hitting no rocks
Moral of the story, use thicker duct tape next time hahaha. But on a more serious note, I could be curious to see if putting some glue(just a small bit) between the book pages would have helped.
When you said “Holly Springs Tactical Gun Range” a huge smile came across my face. I then realized it was actually not in Holly Springs (RTP area where I’m at) but near Charlotte :( Great video though brother.
The Chinese made a paper armor because it was cheap but also effective.
It was a scale mail style and would stop arrows of the day and protect from swords and such.
How heavy is it? You should make one for front and back, then walk around with it for a while and tell us how it feels.
Was shooting some bricks with friends. 22lr left a stain on the brick. 9mm took little chips out. 45 took bigger chips. AR took big honking chunks out of it. AK cut it in half. Garand... made the brick disappear into a red powder that hung in the air for a minute and wafted towards my neighbor's property. Build something DIY that can stop one of those and I'll run out and get the supplies...
Heavy ceramic or porcelain tiles. Maybe a piece of granite countertop, or like material but that stuff would get heavy. I'm also curious about hardibacker and durock I think it's called. Durock is mostly pressed foam and concrete.
Two books, two pans, two ceramic floor tiles, and glue... laminate the pages of the books with the glue and place the floor tiles and books in the pan then tape it all down.
Add some gym time to be able to carry the weight.
It would be very cumbersome running around with a 6 inch thick 15 lbs "plate" hanging on your chest. Reminds me of the end of Fistful of Dollars.
Instead of rocks maybe cement board for tile? It is hard and has a mesh inside,also flat will glue easy.
I wonder what fine grain sand mixed with fiberglass resin in a mold like the pan you used would stop a 5.56 round?
@Zach cash what thickness on the plate
@Zach cash whooo boy 1/2 in..I get it. but damn..lol. Sound advice thanks for the reply.
@Zach cash steel outlets are around and you can purchase drops..
Impressive results! Good video.
First time watcher here, anyone’s thoughts are welcome. Is there an insulation application to this? Lining my walls with these.
Just use phone books or reams of paper.
So judging by the comments, this is what to use from out to in:
1 steel tray with porcelain floor tile and resin epoxy inside
1 more steel tray stacked inside previous pan with sand and epoxy resin
1 steel tray facing the other way with both porcelain floor tile AND sand with epoxy resin
1 1/2" stack of newspaper
Finish by connecting layers with aluminum duct tape and seal and coat by dipping in FlexSeal and let drip dry
total for 1 _possibly_ level IIIA rifle plate: ~$50.00USD
depth: ~2in. **May be incompatible with some plate carriers.**
Would make decent level IV car armor with another half stack and possibly 50bmg rated house armor if double stacked.
I would hazard a guess that two-part epoxy (something like Araldite) would be a better glue to use, possibly even epoxy casting resin or the epoxy used for fiberglassing, would be a better idea than PVA/craft glue. Trying that out with everything else exactly the same would be very interesting, but I don't really thingk the type of epoxy would make that much difference, because it's just a matrix to stop the pebbles moving around too much.
Neat to watch. I saw a video where I guys discussed using duct tape, thick books....and ceramic tile. Probably can’t find the tile at the $ store but that would be interesting to see
I wonder if adding sandbox sand to the mix of rocks and glue, if it would help absorb more energy.
Probably help slow down some fragmentation bits
Next time wrap ceramic tile with flex seal... And your good..
I was just thinking about spraying it with flex seal.
That's pretty slick 👍
Bro you sound like Cleveland from family guy... enjoy the vids and you have a new subby!
I know you said not to try it, but don't worry, I'm doing okay. Just got out of the ICU. The doctor said that I should be fine in a few weeks. Thanks for the video ;-)
We're all on a watchlist now
Was that a NATO 5.56 green tip round or a 5.56 for varmint? I’m impressed if that was a 55 grain fmj
Have you thought of putting a book on both sides of the baking sheets, interesting to see how that works.
“Or will diie”😂
What about adding half inch ceramic ceramic tile to the front, replacing the glue with brick mortar, and two books on the back instead of one?
Too thicc and heavy at that point, I'd say
You should add weight and thickness measurements. And if you could put it in front of ballistics gel, that would be awesome. Could really see how much you dissipated the round. Would only be for fun though, because if you use this, you will die.
Exactly. I want to know how many inches of rocks that is.
What i just witnessed was an excellent example of the superior firepower of .30cal over .22cal
Maybe if you tried the flex seal in the half gallon cans and pour that and layered it with the rocks you might have better results
I can't wait to try this at home.
The idea of using natural stone to break up the mass of the bullet has merit. But the rocks you used aren't held in place very well, and have lots of gaps in between them. If you made multiple layers of smaller rocks, with something like cheese cloth between each layer, up to the same total thickness, you'd probably be more successful.
It would still suffer from rapid degradation, as the rocks would shatter. But in each section, the initial impact would be far more likely to be absorbed.
Try the same thing, but put one piece of ceramic tile flood in before putting the pans together. Even if it breaks the tile when you put the pans together. Shoot that with two green tips and see what happens.
Everyone who makes their own armor: Any protection is better than none.
Cool testing and results....Good stuff....
I'll slap all my harbor freight fliers in back of the book. Problem solved. Tank Proof
I can't shoot my coupons.
what about using shot blast media (silicon carbide ) in the tray and mix with cement powder and some small nails/chopped glass fibre to help bind it? or the same but use some wire mesh to act like miniature rebar. another one could have the same but with some small threaded rods pre-tensioned or post as they use in concrete castings?
What about cement in the pans
With some thick material?
Kinda pullocased?
With the conceat Pan's in the case?
Simple ceramic tiles are the better media. Two layers of tile will stop pretty much all rifle rounds. You MUST cover the tiles with layers of even hemp or jute to catch all the spall and shrapnel.
Laminate together two pieces of glass, tempered, 1/4”, that both have “film” on both sides, then laminate the sheet metal, less than 1” thick and I’m thinking it might work better...the better the lamination , the better this will work.
Maybe try a few layers of ceramic floor tile and Henry's roofing tar sandwiched between two pieces of a tad thicker mild steel, wrapped in more duct tape?
Form fit like 20 layers of a lasagna made of fiberglass screen, paper, latex paint. Make an arch like if it was on an arm. Maybe a glancing blow test too.
Cleveland brown.
Am I wrong?
Giggity
Cleaved doesn't say gigady
That's quagmire.btw it's creepy he looks like the voice actor to.
@5:50 you can see that the bullet fragment claimed to be from the 2nd shot is actually from the first.
Cut the book in half to squeeze the 2 halves together better, then glue. Rocks...I don't know bro. GREAT idea though. I didn't think of that. A phone book would work perfectly IF the correct thickness and length. Fiberglass would help also, I think. VERY good.
Looks delicious!
Ceramic tile in place of rock. Several Layers of cotton cloth coated with fiberglass resin and another tile and layer of cloth/resin. Pretty sure it will be more bullet resistant that glue and rock. Might even try encapsulating tile with cloth/resin.
JB Weld, oil jugs, canvas and standard epoxy. These things layered with 1/2 in JB Weld on outside layer, then canvas glued to it with epoxy, then oil jugs, epoxy, canvas, epoxy, oil jug, epoxy, etc. I bet a 3 inch plate will stop fmj 556 nato rounds. Try it. I'd like to see.
Replace rocks with marbles.
I can just see antigunners running around with that kaka duct taped on. I wonder if a video will follow how to make a toilet paper hanger attachment.
How about some 1” ceramic tiles laid out overlapping glues to grids of netting as an outer layer? I agree with another viewer resin with sand between rocks layered. Then instead of paper maybe industrial conveyer belt heavy rubber mats or some such . I’ve seen fiberglass fire blanket in resin used also. .
fact is, rock 1 inch thick will stop a 30-cal FMJ round from a high-powered rifle. Any silicate material has a massive impact absorption ability. Have any ever tried to shoot at solid rock? even a BMG .50 cal won't penetrate much more than an inch in granite rock.
He used river rocks in a zip lock, and it absorbed alot of rifle bullets. I want to know how many inches of these loose rocks will stop 30 cal.
@@Polarcupcheck most river stones are igneous granite rock, very dense heavy stone. much more dense and harder than concrete by a dozen times. Even a 1-inch thick concrete patio stone, while it will break and fragment, it will still will stop a standard 30-cal round from 50 yards away, and even deflect any hand-gun round.
@@AmericanFreedomPatriot The only thing is his ziplock bag was thick. Had to be about 3+ inches. I would like to see what a duck taped pizza box (like DiGiorno) filled with river rocks can stop. bases on this test, I think it would stop 9 mm.
I want to know how thick the rock layer was for this test; I estimate between 1 and 1.5 inches. Last time he did 1 pan of rocks and a book. Stopped handguns cold, but .223 went through.
lmao that is insane man, how much does it weigh you could be a revolutionary lol
you should spend 5 more dollars for a completely flat sheet, 2 more cookie sheets And two more bags of rocks. Bake the Rocks onto a completely flat sheet and put in between the two cookie sheets with rocks baked onto them. Also double up cookie sheets. If you wanted to have something a lot thicker add one more Dollar by another book. Leave them closed and tape them on so you have a full book worth of paper the catch shrapnel. If you live in a bad area you can panel your house with this.
Who the hell buys bags of rocks? Sounds like a grift for the dumbest of rubes.
Pecans!? Are you nuts? (a joke). Anyways I am thrilled to watch this. Body Armor is TOO expensive. I've had great ideas too. Can't wait to watch this!
