Can a Real Suit of Armor Stop a Bullet?!?!Debunking Video
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ธ.ค. 2020
- Here we are looking at the latest video from the DemolitionRanch channel. No disrespect to them but this video has some problems.
An armour (spelled armor in the US) is a protective covering that is used to prevent damage from being inflicted to an object, individual, or vehicle by weapons or projectiles, usually during combat, or from damage caused by a potentially dangerous environment or action.
The word "armour" began to appear in the Middle Ages as a derivative of Old French. It is dated from 1297 as a "mail, defensive covering worn in combat". The word originates from the Old French armure, itself derived from the Latin armatura meaning "arms and/or equipment", with the root armare meaning "arms or gear".
Armour has been used throughout recorded history. It has been made from a variety of materials, beginning with rudimentary leather protection and evolving through mail and metal plate into today's modern composites.
Significant factors in the development of armour include the economic and technological necessities of its production. For instance, plate armour first appeared in Medieval Europe when water-powered trip hammers made the formation of plates faster and cheaper.
Well-known armour types in European history include the lorica hamata, lorica squamata, and the lorica segmentata of the Roman legions, the mail hauberk of the early medieval age, and the full steel plate harness worn by later medieval and renaissance knights, and breast and back plates worn by heavy cavalry in several European countries until the first year of World War I (1914-15). The samurai warriors of feudal Japan utilised many types of armour for hundreds of years up to the 19th century.

Ahah! you beat me to it, I've just recorded my reply lol, will be out soon as well ^_^
A wild Shad has appeared
Shad daddy had spoken
Will watch as well.
Nice daddy shaddy
We all knew this was coming.
I like how you can tell how bad the quality of the “armor” is based on the sound alone, listen to when he taps on it vs when the Metatron taps on his own helmet
Right. Tin armor.
Yes, it seems more a can of Coke
Than a piece of armour
sounds, "tabajara".
The sound difference was Matt's ring vs Metatron's knuckles. Not necessarily because of the quality difference lol.

Put it in terms Matt understands: that's the Hi-Point of armor.
Not even. Hi-points can take a lot of abuse and still shoot the same as brand new; unreliably. But the weapon functions reasonbly well and is remarkably durable for the price tag. That armor on the other hand wouldnt protect from a decent kitchen knife.

"Real Medieval, Roman, Spartan armor"
I'd actually love to see whatever the hell that would be, lmao

Okay, so you put on a maille shirt over a gambeson, get a Roman legionarie shield, and you put on one of those iconic ancient Greek helmets.

"That's a piece of sheet metal..." Initially, I didn't hear sheet. Either way makes sense.
I also he was going for a play on words!
😏😏😁😁😂😂🤣🤣😋😋
thats what i heard too
yeah a heater shield made from metal would be either so thin it's useless or so heavy you'd have to wheel it around, basically turning it into a mantlet. (but of course then it would be shaped differently. Really it would just be a totally different object ^.^)
He is Italian. As a non-native speaker, can confirm that english vowels are way trickier than they seem. The "e" in "bitch" and "beach" is a beach.
Here's a pretty thing: plot Armor. As light as a feather, and as hard as dragon-scales.
Fashioned purely out of ink.
(Then again, so is the blood)
That's not true though. Dragon scales can be broken without spoiling the story, so they're not as strong as plot armour.
The trouble is that dragon scales are more consistent, plot armour can be fickle. Sometimes it just blows away on the whim of a writer... or the right reader comments...
Mithril...
Damn it I just realized that the mithril shirt is actually plot armor.
But at least Tolkien had the good sense to tell the audience he was giving his main character plot armor ^.^ Also it is priced to match, which is a nice touch. It explains why not everyone is walking around in it.
Coffee Shop
Nice reference, Bilbo.
"Piece of sheet metal" is now my new favorite medieval play on words
Especially since Metatron's slight Italian accent gives it a hint of "sh*t metal"...
I love DemolitionRanch, and watch his videos in regards to knowing more about firearms. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised that he is not too knowledgeable on medieval armor, especially considering it's not his specialty. Keep up the good work, Metatron.
Truth be told he isn't too knowledgeable in firearms either imo
He has little idea about firearms, typical tactical American aficionado guy with a lack of serious knowledge about target shooting and quality firearms,.
"All metal" so is a coke can...
Hahaha
So is aluminium foil, but I'm not going to wrap myself in that if I need to go into battle.
It almost sounded like a tin can when matt tapped it
If he turned it around ... it would say Pepsi on the back ... 😳🤣
I literally learned to shoot aiming a .410 at Coke cans. Turns out, they’d make pretty bad armour.
Demoranch : This is real armour
Metatron : *My time has come.*
I WAS CHOSEN BY HEAVEN!!
I love the Demolitia Matt is awesome folk 😄🤪
So refreshing to see armour spelled the right way ^_^
"It's a piece of shiiiii---eeeet of metal."
It is real armor😂😂 yes it might be cheep but you can’t say it’s not real armor
"Poorly Made, Incorrectly made, Unhistorical Excuse of An Armor"- Imagine being the Indian working int he factory that made this armor being paid slave labor wages and seeing this XD.
Fun fact : even bad salary metal worker from where ever on earth knows this is just tourist stuff to be sell.
aye, Indians do not manufacture this kind of shit. its probably made in china or a movie prop being sold as the real deal. and we do have labourlaws and unions here.
ps; I do not intend to insult or offend you man. have a great day.

@@Daniel-du7pv Hahaha
2:54 metatron is really pissed off from the last time he bought the chainmail from that indian guy
400 $ is la lot of money. You got to earn it.
To be fair, it would be a shame if he actually shot high quality armor.
If he used average period firearms with advanced plate armor (which plate armor WAS by that time period) it would probably be equal, depending on angles and such. They did proof armor against bullets for a reason. Maybe Matt just needs to look into how weak early firearms could be, even when compared to the most simple (but still MUCH improved) simple black powder firearms of today.
But would it really? I mean, come on, wouldn’t you like to see what modern firearms do to period armor?! Especially if someone took the time to compare calibers AND bullet construction?
@@waynepurcell6058 Cowboy action black powder loads maybe? Better yet, hand load .70 ball in a smoothbore shotgun, with a subsonic powder load(and doesn't he have a serbu super shorty?)
@@stingray4540 Nah. I'm a sword/axe/spear guy. Correct Period for Period is what I would like to see.
@@waynepurcell6058 Based on available sources, late-16th-century matchlocks were in fact quite powerful. Sir Roger Williams, Humphrey Barwick, Sir John Smythe, & other period military writers indicated the heavy musket could pierce armor at absurd ranges. This matchlock firearm was so long & heavy it required a rest to shoot. Barwick, for example, wrote that the musket would kill through armor of proof at 200 yards, common armor at 400 yards, and no armor at 600 yards. Given how quickly spherical shot loses velocity as it moves through the air, this suggests an initial kinetic energy for the heavy musket of at least 8,000 J (5,900 foot-lbs). It'd probably take even more than that to kill through mere pistol-proof armor (approximately 3mm of hardened steel) at 200 yards. So we're talking around same kinetic energy as an elephant gun. It was far less efficient than modern firearms at using this energy to penetration or move through the air, but the heavy musket had raw power in spades. Steel armor in late-16th-century Europe was so protective that the heavy musket saw widespread use. & apparently something similar happed in China a little later.
Two of my favorite communities just collided. *Epic.*
Not in a good way. But yeah me too, it'd be better if it was the gun Jesus.
Or even Hickok 45
Skallagrim and Lindybeige do both.
@@walangchahangyelingden8252 gun jesus getting debunked would be the apocalypse.
@@lieutenantkettch To a lesser extent.
Matt Easton would probably say, “Context!” It would depend on the armor and on the bullet. I think 16th century armor against a 16th century arquebus would be more interesting. Neither are medieval, obviously, but still an appropriate matchup. It would be super disingenuous to pit modern bullets against fake medieval armor.
Matt is a stand up guy with the best of intentions, you two would make a great collaboration video.
Demolition Ranch: "Real medieval armour."
Metatron coming in with his facts: "Parry this you filthy casual."
Yeah, DR would probably not parry very well, but there's the possibility of a hit back, and a hit back from a .50 BMG would be pretty bad.

They're more to Renaissance and early modern warfare than late medieval, but yeah, that still relevant.
@@muhamadsayyidabidin3906 cuirassiers still exist!
Yeah, people don't appreciate just how long armor actually stuck around: Reiters (basically German Cuirassiers,) used armor for the sake of closing with the enemy to fire pistols at point blank range, and were used as late as Gustavus Adolphus' wars.
You don't use armor like that if it doesn't actually work.
@@muhamadsayyidabidin3906 nah, a cuirassier of Napoleon got the ball in the chest
@@bubbasbigblast8563 the reason why armor disappeared from battlefield IIRC come from several reasons. one, the firearm itself. as the firearm become more and more powerful, you need stronger and thicker steel to withstand it. only a few man could wear such heavy armor. two, the standarized and nationalized army. since soldier now don't have to bought their own weapons, state provide it. and states don't want to spent so much money on buying and maintaining armor for their large army. three, tactics. battle tactics become more to line of fire rather than formation of pikes or other melee weapons. mobility become more important than mere defence. four, is the soldier sould carry another item besides their main weapon such as rations, water, survival kit, tent, etc. this stuff alone has considerable weight, and wearing armor would make it even heavier. in the past they could put their armor along with supply train behind them, which makes them extremely vulnerable when caught unprepared. combine all of this factor and we could see that even soldier that are expected to wear armor like napoleonic cuirassier are actually reluctant to wear their armor
Knowing Matt, he's probably having a blast watching your video and is happy to learn something.
Love, that at the beginning there is Jörg Sprave from the slingshot channel, right when he opens his Laptop :3
Are we going to ignore that abomination of a "sword". Or do we leave that one to Shad?
Leave it to Shad
It wasn't a sword review...
...then again, it wasn't a sword at all.
Or leave it to Matt?

Haha 50 BMG go brrrr
I like his channel too. But like you said, he knows guns, not armor. You two should collaborate and let him try again. I would love to watch that!
I would like to see in those kind of "Tests" when the Target is in Motion. That would be a difference also.
Good point!
Agreed! I would love to see a test simulating a shot against a charging horseman
Armor maybe aluminium? Has that bag of soda can sound to it.
You are a grown as man I'm hoping you are joking.
Actually it sheet metal stamped.
The sad part is that these people can just rely on the fact that nobody will wear this and try to actually fight with real weapons.
Which makes it even worse when people actually try to do so.
@@Nerobyrne Well most of that crap is medieval fair cosplay.

@@MortimerZabi or calling about my cars warrantee.
@@MortimerZabi ahahhaha
The biggest problem with testing historically accurate armor is the cost. Few people want to spend that much on something that they're probably going to destroy in a single afternoon.
PS) In addition to using modern smokeless powder (more velocity) modern firearms use different bullets. Modern bullets are generally bullet shaped, which gives them greater weight and sectional density compared to a round ball of the same diameter and material. This is especially true for rifle bullets, which are generally longer than handgun bullets. Also, modern bullets are usually jacketed, which makes them more durable.
The problem is that unfortunately that horrible excuse of an armour set him back surely of about 1K. With 1200 you can get your hands on some properlymade and very good looking breastplate backplate and fauld, which would be heat treated and actually real.
I'm really not sure why so many people are acting like, "He's doing it for entertainment, he's funny, so it can't be misinformation." He does not joke about the quality of the armor, he, intentionally or not, lies, he calls it "Real armor..." "...real chainmail". It is not. Please stop saying that being funny makes you incapable of spreading misinformation.
For those who say this isnt important: Imagine someone testing a hi point and claiming it's the gun the US military uses
Edit: Zip 22 is a better analogy. Doesnt work well if at all, very inaccurate
More like a Zip 22
That's a god point
I have no idea what a hi point is... and I don't really care what gun the military is currently using...so I would believe you. XD

Or how about a raging hornet? Literally a revolver chambered to .22 long rifle.
I'm actually subscribed to Demolition Ranch as well. He loves guns, & he loves testing them. Matt is awesome, but I won't be the first to say he doesn't know a clue about anything medieval related. He's also pretty chill, & I doubt he would get even the slightest bit offended. Great video as always, Metatron!
Was about to say all this lol.
I'm fairly certain you won't be the first purely on the fact that Matt himself will tell you he doesn't know a thing about medieval stuff

Did he take it out of the video?
Shame. It was really funny
That's horrible! That was my favorite part of the video :(
Dammit it's gone
I like demo but this video made my eyes roll I was thinking man one of the history channels is going to destroy this one.
I was thinking similar. I was like "what is this cheapo trash? Not only does it look like a bad fantasy show costume, it literally can't even stop 22LR without the mail exploding... There's no way this is anything that even vaguely resembles armor-quality steel"
Demo ranch os the opposite of a factual historical learning channel though... He just fucks around and shoots stuff he doesnt pretend like hes doing real studies or science
I have totally not see this coming.
Totally.
When Matt said they never tested these against bullets, all i could think of were brave Czech Hussites that have beaten crusaders using hand-held guns ( "Píšťala"), Cart mounted guns ("Vozová Hradba) and actual usage of some other handheld firearms.
Hello from Czechia.
What's interesting to me is the innovation that went into armor and firearms. When a gun was made better armor was made...when better armor was made a better gun was made...and so on. Everytime armor was made "bulletproof" people immediately went to inventing something that would penetrate it. A constant evolution.
I watched that video earlier today and I immediately remembered the old "Longsword vs Katana" debunking video from back in the day.
Love both Matt's and your channels, never expected this crossover till the "armour" video 🤣
I've been watching Demo Ranch for years and he's a genuinely good guy, a Veterinary Doctor as well.
HOWEVER
I knew us historical weapons and armor enthusiasts would need to shed some light
"It's a piece of sheet metal" - why did I hear "It's a piece of shit metal" xD
At one point I misheard "medieval armor" as "medieval llama". That is all. Have a nice day.
Can bullets penetrate a medieval llama? Stay tuned!
Nice
I knew this was coming as soon as he uploaded it... 😄
The first gun was made in the 1300s if I'm not mistaken, so basically this dude saying they had no guns is bs
But how widespread were they
Well the arquebus (most likely spelled wrong sry) which was made in the 1400s (50 to 100 years after the first guns) and well they were all over europe and Portugal managed to sell the weapon to japan that well that they invented their own version so basically within the same human generation the first guns were invented they were what I would call widespread so yeah they were common
Was not expecting to see a demo ranch video on your channel today.
Guntube and Swordtube circles coming together. Maybe we'll even get a collab out of it 🤠
10:30 He did start with a .22, but it would be interesting to see the same progression demonstrated on authentic armor.

@@billhsu6349 16 gauge is still way too thin. Make it 50% thicker and heat treat it then we'll talk.

@@godsamongmen8003 , I couldn’t imagine the amount of labor hours required to make authentic armor
I went to a museum in Chicago when I was in high school. They had medieval and renaissance armor with dents in the breastplate. The plaque talked about how they were tested to be bullet proof by actually testing the armor against muskets or other firearms. Enjoyed your channel before you started bringing back old memories.
“It’s an extremely cheap badly made wrongly shaped incorrect historically inaccurate off the shelf Indian made excuse of an armour.”
Ok, but... is it still good? Shall I buy it? The price tag is so tempting. xD
Dude I knew it I knew he would react to this
I watched this vid earlier
I called it to
I literally just watched it an hour ago, and cringed at the butted mail
"only for you, you're my best friend" i died at that part
Obviously I don't hate Indians in general, and I love their food! But yes, I've heard that sentence so many times it's a joke.
What I felt after watching
Matt's video : apocalyptic warfare
Shad's video : late medieval warfare
Raffaello's video : chemical warfare
I figured this would be the one that gave him Forrest Whitaker eye.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance does reference gunpowder weapons, the siege engineer mentions what he could do if they had some of the new siege weapons (I can't remember the exact wording used, it's been a while, but I do remember he was referencing cannons).
Y'know? Matt's video is oddly still appropriate. That 'not-armor' is the stuff that most people would be able to buy and pick up in a pinch, not knowing any better.
So, sure, it's not proper armor. But, under the conditions of his opening statement, he is testing whether that crap would work today.
AFAIK, the last time humans built metal armor to defend against gunfire was in WW1.
It ended up being too bulky, even though it was effective at stopping/deflecting bullets.
Even today we still use armor to defeat gunfire, but it's made of kevlar because nobody can wear that much metal and function as a proper soldier.
Lots people are pointing out the 'real armour' thing in Demo's comment section tho. So I'd say people's knowledge on ancient armors are improving.
(I am a Demo Raunch sub) when I first opened up that video and saw the armour my first thought was Shadiversity and the Metatron would explode when they hear you say this is Real Armour. Then I checked the comments and 60% where the same as what I thought. (I wasn’t angery at Matt cause he is not a history buff and the guy who sold it to him properly told him it was real)
Metatron responding to Matt and Shad in the comment section? This is proving to be quite the cross over event here.
This video made me so happy. I love Matt’s content, he is a genuinely nice guy (as evidenced in his multiple TH-cam channels) but that video of his ‘real’ armour made me cringe a little. I’m very far from being an expert on any armour systems or medieval weapons but I do know a little about them and I also know just enough about metallurgy to immediately see through the Indian-made Spartan Nordic Medieval Samauri ‘real armour’.
Your video is so kind, respectful and informative that it absolutely bumped you up several rings on my ladder of most respectable youtubers. Thanks heaps mate! Well done!
While I know Matt is super busy running several businesses I do hold some faint hope that he might reply to you. That would be nice!
The real question: how would plate armor using a 15th Century design but made of modern AR500 steel hold up?
replace the hose and arming doublet with kevlar while we're at it.
Holding up? The Soldier having to wear it would be cursing to no end
@@steffenebener7332 I don't mean having all the components as thick as our standard plates. I mean "use AR500, but all dimensions including thickness are identical to the Medieval design"
@@RaderizDorret i think 15th century armor is not that thick to stop bullet of the period, but maybe some really good quality stuff would hold on. Again, it depends on which year, because during 15th century armor evolved so fast you could barely see any resemblance from early 15th century to late 15th century.
@@muhamadsayyidabidin3906 You're right. Let's upgrade it to 16th Century armor since that's when Beretta first got their charter to make guns for the Crown and guns were becoming more common on the battlefield.
Lol. I left a comment on that a few hours ago. "Now use real armor :D" lol
I love demolition ranch though. They're great.

Really digging these skits you've been doing lately, keep it up!
I'm glad to hear!
Firearms were around in Europe before full plate was, and interesting metal armor was STILL being used on the battlefield even after the introduction of the machine gun (Some soldiers in WW1 were wearing steel breastplates, though they were rather rare).
& here in 2020 we have cheap modern civilian body armor made from hardened steel plates not fundamentally that differently from 15th/16th-century plate armor.
@@b.h.abbott-motley2427 If you are referring to modern steel armor (Such as AR500) you genuinely couldn't be more wrong. Modern steel armors are vastly different from medieval armor in pretty much every single regard.
@@demomanchaos AR500 has a hardness of around 500 Brinell (HB/BHN). The best 15th/16th-century European plate armor rated 400-480 HB. As I wrote, the modern stuff is somewhat harder & purer. It's not fundamentally different.
Demolition Ranch doesn't know where the term, "bullet-proof," comes from. Because a 50. cal will go through practically anything!
Literally anti-materiel rifles
BP rifles had .60+ caliber bullets
Anti meterial is a catagory of sniper made for destroying equipment. compared to anyi personel which is made to kill people
@@demonic_myst4503 : In my eyes this are descendats of former wallguns.
@@demonic_myst4503 You can use anti-materiel rifles against personnel though. Overkill? Sure, but it's not as uncommon as one would think. Canadians for example, have a history of doing that. They even hold the world record for the longest distance killshot in history scored with an anti-materiel rifle.
The sound the armor made when he knocked on it is beyond enough for even some people new to armor to know this is trash quality.
I mean lot of factors at play with stuff like this. Range, caliber of the bullet, angle of attack, quality of the armor (cheap knock off display for say a hotel lobby or hollywood vs the real deal etc). Kind of reminds me of those bow channels and their "Does armor/chain/shields" stop an arrow. And then they proceed to use a modern compound bow from like 5 feet away.
I am very impressed with your honesty tempered with humility and willingness to help others. These are very important aspects of good character in my opinion.
Wow you work fast, I'm subscribed to both you and Demoranch and i watched this video this morning.
Guns and medieval talk about armor, yup I’m in Valhalla.
''Obviously they didn't have modern firearms." I just imagined a knight with an M16
That would be cool indeed my friend, and nobody would ever mess with that knight again.
Demolition Ranch trolls constantly. He doesn't seem to take things too serious.
I totally agree. He probably knew but figured someone wasn't gonna use his video to make another video.
Wow Metatron you did this one fast
Also as a welder when he tapped that breastplate and I heard how it sounded I gaged slightly when he was like "oh ya it's metal it's real" that steel is from looks and sound is stainless steel and probably thin as hell
Ned Kelly is a legend in Australia, though I doubt he's much known elsewhere. He died in 1880. He was hanged. The reason he was hanged instead of being shot to death in the massive gunfight he instigated, is because his armour protected him. Allow me to unpack that a little:
Ned Kelly was an outlaw who refused to allow himself or his family to be bullied by crooked cops. He ended up killing a number of police officers and knew that the police would eventually come for him in force. By the time they did, Ned Kelly had made a suit of armour for himself, which proved to be entirely 100% bulletproof. Unfortunately for Mr. Kelly, his legs were not armoured. While the armour he made protected him completely from every single bullet that his armour, he was still captured. One of the police who were shooting at him (possibly more than one) noticed at some point- more than ten minutes- into the gunfight, that his legs were unarmoured and so he, or possibly 'they' started shooting at Mr. Kelly's legs. The story continues, but the point is:
Ned Kelly wasn't a time traveller. He wasn't a blacksmith or an armourer. He used whatever crappy metal was available to him at the time, to make some crude armour. If he- an outlaw- were able to do this and to find that his armour was 100% bulletproof, then I don't think that the blacksmiths and armourers of the day would have had much difficulty in replicating this feat.
Your debunkings are like the history version of TwoSetViolin’s roasts lmao
To me Demoranchs video was just for fun... I didnt take it seriously at all tbh... Except that "sword"? That made me cringe so bad!
Yep
Lol I knew metatron was going to hit this video the minute it came on my feed
I've been subscribed to you and DemolitionRanch for years, hours earlier when Matt's video popped up on my feed, you and Shadiversity were the first ones on my mind. I just knew you two would react to the title of Matt's video.
"Zelda A Link to the Past" is still one of my favorite games today, it was the first and only game I felt like exploring an Open World, literally up until GTA3 invented games new. The way to unlock new areas by finding the Strength Gloves, the Fast Shoes or the right shaped Key was just unbelievably involving. Also once you think you beat the Final Boss, you're not even half trough the game, what a mind f' and ultimate challenge to any young and eager Lad.
