Year 3020: Testing Medieval Marines helmet with laser gun
Hahahah and it should use the medieval ak-47
We can already make laser weaponry it's just banned
Also fairly dangerous to the user. If your protective glasses happen to get a crack in them, a laser with enough power to be a weapon would blind you real quick.
landoishisname not the point.
@Diego And yes, light generates heat.
you should bury that helmet and let future archaeologists freak out trying to figure out what happened here.
I support this!
standardized and regular molecule structure of the metal might give away the date of manufacture though.
Order one that is smelted, forged and worked into a helmet by hand and do this again!
Here's the hard part. don't tell anyone ^^ especially the internet.
but how do you fake c14?
where is there c14 in steel helmet? its just in living things

I find it fascinating that a medieval helmet stopped the 45 colt and 45 auto. I just wish modern body armor was as elegant as medieval armor.
.45 = poor penetration. The Flak Jackets from the Vietnam war era weren't rated to stop bullets but they would stop a .45 dead in its tracks. Big and slow is the opposite of what you want against armor.
STUV101 they were black powder load. Smokeless would go through
You'd probably still be knocked out by the trauma (with the medieval helm from the video, that is).
Or killed by it. Or killed by your skull cracking/caving in (the .45 made that huge dent on the helmet, think of what it would do on your skull).
I also found that interesting with the 45 ACP/s performance against the helmet its still good to know though so you know how your rounds would behave hitting a round surface.
From black powder to... Oh! It's already broken...
Interestingly enough, it was the most impressive shot out of all of them.
@@jacksparrowjives3138
I don't know if it's that, but on modern guns, I think there's a norm of fuse powder in the cartridge case.
Instead of a black powder gun. Free of you to saturate each chambers you got. _Military quantity_ they call it if I remember.
Maybe the bullets are not penetrative, but sure as hell it gonna push the target's surface until rupture happens.
@@MikyBounty
Bullets are supposed to wound instead of kill because a heavily wounded soldier is more of a problem to everyone than a dead soldier
@Pudgee Monkey I'm happy if my PC can achieve 60 fps.
@@MikyBounty There's one crucial difference. Old black powder burns slower, meaning it doesn't propel the bullet anywhere near as fast. The reason the first two self contained charges, the .45 ACP and .45 LC, didn't pen the helmet is that they were lead headed. You can even see in the slow mo, the bullets just deformed because pure lead heads are meant for unarmored targets, where saving the weight for better muzzle velocity matter more than having a denser round. It's why the 9mm FMJ penned

Incredible that even a siege crossbow would have difficulty penetrating the same helmet, really puts the power of a bullet into perspective
bruh but that bullet cant penetrate a bulletproof armor but just a simple bow would have no problem with penetrating it
@@destroyeryt8166 wut? No? Bullet resistant armor is not made of sand the rifles shown would go right through any soft body armor out there. An arrow isn't making it through a level 3 plate.
@@destroyeryt8166LMFAO no bow and arrow would ever go through a body armor plate.
This video confirms it. If I'm ever in a situation that I'm getting ready to go into a gunfight, I'm not wearing medieval style helmet!
life4nina Not if there's a better helmet available. However, it's still better than nothing!
Depending on the style of helmet it can definitely be better than nothing. They did not do to badly against pistol rounds, and while they beat them to hell and would not hold up well to multiple shots, that still beats the hell out of taken that same round to the unprotected head. Hell even going against people with rifles those helmets still offer some protection. Sure there is no hope for stopping a direct hit, but against ricochets or bullets that pass through a barrier first it may stop them form killing you. Of course if your helmet has a large face shield, limiting your field of view that might be worst for you over all.
It held up pretty well against the 9mm (most common small arms round in the world).
Well i am - im also wearing a full plate armour if i can .
Mostly because it was lead nose normal pressure 9mm ball. It wouldn't hold up against 9mm designed to pierce armor at all. Result would be similar to the rifle shots.
You need much thicker steel plate to stop that. Even IIIA plate doesnt stop it.
at 10:52 listen carefully, when he shoots, you could hear a silent snake spotted alarm (you know the game) right after the shot

these helmets take "born in the wrong generation" to a new level.
Yeah, I guess the helmets probably also blame millennials for everything. :)
damn millenails
Skallagrim that's an impressive interesting gun collection
LMAO
yoy killed me
well now I see why people ditched Suits or Armor once even Muskets came along. Even if the bullet doesn't kill you, the metal suddenly bent into your skull most likely will.
Firearms certainly played a small part, but are not the sole reason for the eventual abandonment of plate armor.
during the 17th and 16th century soldiers still used armor, armors were mostly abandoned because the cost of making a single full plate set is the same as making dozens of arquebuses / muskets
I can only imagine how brutal it was when these guns first started being used and made armor pretty much irrelevant.
*Just casually being a warrior*
*Getting shot by something that very obviously isn't an arrow*
Quite a bit late, but that never quite happened. Sufficient armor just became too expensive to outfit common troops, or too heavy for long marches.
During the American civil war some soldiers did buy armor privately, and during WW1 French and German curassiers did still have their breastplates (and yes, cavalry was still highly effective wherever and whenever there was not trench warfare)
Yeah war of that period war just a big cloud of smoke and people randomly dying until the ammo was over.
@@shitemite2457 Mmh, these Handcannons (not quite yet musket or arquebus) were used by shock troops when charging. Knights also strapped gus to the end of their lances and stuffed them full of slow burning powder to essentially create a flamethrower. Then they added shrapnel, and turned it into a flamethrower/shotgun hybrid. This weapon was called the Fire Lance
Actually, most heavier armor could stop bullets, or at least deflect them. Armor was made irrelevant because the vast majority of soldiers couldn't afford armor good enough to stop a bullet, so it was better to wear no armor at all. This helmet was much, much earlier than that. It likely wouldn't have even stopped most blades from around the time guns started to become commonplace
Thanks for not spending 10 minutes explaining what your going to do, your a legend for just starting the experiment instead of trying to drag out the video for ad revenue
Still hoping for a "guns vs medieval armor" video where they actually hit the armor with the gun instead of shooting it.
I don't even have a real reason for wanting to see this I just think it would be a funny bait-and-switch video
Be pretty funny, and could be kind of effective, depending on how hard they're smacking/throwing the gun.
Yo, where's smough?

or throwing the helmets at the guns.
Now I want to see how modern helmets would do against medieval weaponry.
modern helmets wouldn't stand a chance against halberds and longswords!
Ehhh. A level III-A Helmet would be quite a challenge to get through, considering that they can stop a 44 magnum.
yes and riot shields vs lances and maces.
Raz Taz
riot shields would fold over...
madhatten00
I don't think so. We disagree, so it would be fun to see a test.
Imagine missing the shot after all this reloading time
Wouldn't matter. The first line would retreat to reload and if the enemy pressed the bayonet attack or simply tried to gain ground the second group would fire. Plus you would have a single bullet pistol as a back up. Plenty of time to recover.
Takes the average shooter 3-5 seconds to reload an AR based platform. More than enough time to reload, and put 30 more holes in a knight.
@@Stellar001100 And I've seen competition shooters and some infantrymen do it in under a second
When a medieval soldier accidently time traveled in a war
in short. The helmet lost most of the time
RIP helmet
It's crazy to think that a piece of metal and leather is as effective as a modern combat helmet.
modernhelmets are also steel and leather the shape is diffrent thoe.
No, they're mostly layers of Kevlar. I was sort of joking in my last comment.
I think the difference is that modern helmets don't have internal deformation that can still crack your skull.
lol. the helmet *always* loses. even 45 colt would propably kill you beacuse it would damage the skull or at least give you a concussion.
God damn time traveling knights wouldn't stand a chance.
Never in fucking hell ever bring a medieval armor to a gun fight.
Zian Xelmeus you should watch tv show called gate. Shows exactly what you just said
lurk yea good show
Unless there are millions of them at one battle, in which case it would be like World War Z Battle of Yonkers and modern army would lose.
The flu would probably get them first
Imagine how confused future archaeologist will be if they find this.
This is why they finally stopped wearing plate armor around the mid to late 17th century. Had absolutely no protection whatsoever.
There were some thickened, these helmets are, from my knowledge, twice as thin as those used in that era
@@TheCompleteMental dude cetain types of European calv used Helmet and breastplates up till ww 1.
I have heard of that, though it isnt my area of expertise
It still offer protection if its on heavy cavalry troops. Of course, it is not used to charged at a properly lined muskets.
Wingged hussar, a heavy cav with heavy spear swords n pistols, was still a thing up to late 18th century.
Slower reload of musket weapon can still be countered with cavalry. And you can still put armor on them so that they dont get stab to death.
Of course, with faster reload, it then becomes obsolete.
false, because it was easier and cheaper to arm people with gun than train a night from childhood and equip him with full armor.
From your previous video bows and crossbows were just annoyances, but wow, you can really see how guns made armour obsolete! Even if it doesn't penetrate, you're going to get a big bit of helmet pushed into your skull
More importantly, all the kinetic energy from the bullet gets transferred into the helmet which in turn transfers it to your head. If you don't die from the bullet, you'll probably end up with a concussion or something like that.
GBW Co guns made medieval armor obsolete. Modern armor does exist. It just has a replaceable form of vests and plates(oh and helmets of course).
GBW Co The crossbow was a low-weight one. Heavy war crossbows would absolutely do more damage to the armo
Modern helmets are not designed to stop bullets, but rather explosive fragmentation.
This shows why from the XVII century and onwards the full plate armors eventually disappeared. They just became pointless after the guns became increasingly cheaper, more practical and reliable enough. The high cost of manufacturing an armor wasn't worth anymore.
I'll consider my life a success when I earn enough to buy that many guns and have medieval helmets made for target practice.
kill a commie for mommy that's incredibly rich coming from you.
Thanks. I came up with it whilst thoroughly drunk and reading English history.

That Stargate SG-1 was in fact a documentary series. It was, after all, filmed around Vancouver. How else do you explain someone in a viking helmet getting shot with a 9mm?

So the lesson is if you are in the US it is ok and accepatble to wear full medieval plate/mail armour since it protects a little towards some handguns while also can be seen as a form of modern metropolitan new age fashion.

I was looking for this comment xD
*****
You must have been standing there next to me all invisible then. ;)
+drofseh
That explains the alert sound, being invisible on a shooting range sounds like a bad combination XD
So moral of the story is, if a bunch of dudes dressed in medieval armor are attacking you, make sure you don't shoot them in the head with pistols unless you have really good aim.
an AR would do just fine
Well, you got to remember that the dent you see on the helmet would extend to the same "dent" on the wearers head. Meaning at best a fractured skull.
***** Yeah you're probably right. Regular modern gunpowder would have worked better.
DrakeMarvell also the penetration doesn't really matter if you're getting hit hard enough to dent steel.
No, it does matter. Haelsrig was shot at close range to the helmet in the ECW, he did not die. I am very sure that Haelrig's helmet was dented from that.
Its like they say, don't bring a medieval helmet to a gunfight
Need to upgrade these long swordsmen to champions already
Wololo
who else thinks this needs to be done again but with a water melon inside the helmet so we can see melon brains explode (or one of those zombie heads... I'm not too fussy)
Nahodakk
to be fair holding a handgun in one hand is the standard way to hold it for a lot of static target shooting competitions (a lot of competitions it's the only way you're allowed to hold it) and if that's the way he learnt it's probably the way he feels most comfortable
You're actually supposed to shoot one handed and with your body turned sideways. Only shoot two handed if you're wearing body armor.
It would be cool to see with a watermelon but ultimately unneeded. Even the .45 hitting a helmet is a killshot or at least incapacitating shot with the dent.
Dan Nguyen Nah... Nazy Zombies
Dan Nguyen I know they have better helmets. Just google Nazy Infantry WW1 uniform.
After shot number one, that helmet is not coming off that persons head.
The material may be valuable even if not repairable. If it's in repairable condition but doesn't fit you, you might still want it for your friend Bert.
There are quite entertaining accounts of looting after the Swiss kicked Charles the Bold out.
I'm pretty sure you would loot armor no matter what. Even if you can't use it you can maybe sell it if it's high enough quality. Though I think armor might be one of the last things you would loot since it's heavy and a corpse may have other more valuable things.
The Battle of Visby was unusual in that dead were often buried in their armour, with no attempt to remove it. Normally armour was removed from the dead, and often entire clothing, by the winning side or by local civilians prowling after the battle was over. Armour did become less and less popular with armies as firearms made wearing these relatively expensive items less worthwhile.
Steve Kaczynski Thank you for providing great information, that I didn't know.
I'm impressed by how well the old helmets did honestly, especially against handguns. I expected them to be kinda meaningless to very ineffective. The reality is a Medieval warrior in good plate steel would take more rounds to put down all other things being equal, if one didn't have a rifle. Modern steel helmet vs. bullets: th-cam.com/video/9ChpcT_BH_s/w-d-xo.html
What are you talking about, all the bullets went through like butter
Every warrior/knight will be cold dead if they got shot at the head with those steel helmet on.
Except if it was a modern helmet
@@dornetupapichulo3694 Not necessarily. It held up surprisingly well against .45 and 9mm. And, with sufficient padding, they would probably survive and still be conscious... along with a really bad headache.
@@mask8402 one thing is not getting destroyed and helding up and another thing is the first shot went all through, a clean exit hole that will literally pierce the brain
No one can survive with a hole with such impact and kinetic energy in their brain
@@dornetupapichulo3694 The first round was a heavy .50 cal+ bullet... that, as skall said, conveniently nailed a weak point in the helmet. Once we got the modern guns, he shot .45 calibre rounds at that helmet twice, he then proceeded to shoot it with a 9mm. All three of these modern loads bounced off and just left dents. Modern handgun loads aren't commonly known for their power, on the other hand, rifle round will just zoom through the helmet like it wasn't even there.

My takeaway from this is don't fight armor with a 45 pistol of any kind. More speed is required, so go 9mm or a rifle
grinc333 yes but for a civilian that just wants a weapon for self defense I would prefer the 45 acp because of the stopping power
Shotgun all the way for personal protection around the house.
Barrel length has as much to do with bullet velocity as caliber. The 45. colt had no problem going through the armors.
grinc333 My takeaway is those men those men in the American civil war absolutely went through hell.
Or that Norse Warriors shouldn´t meddle with Gang Stuff.
I feel prepared to fight a time travelling knight now :-D
Simon Als Nielsen Lets enter the Special Region in Gate
Those slow-motion shots with no sound make me feel a bit melancholic, haha.
I'm glad this demonstration exists though, thank you.
Holy jesus, Skal, You can shoot! One handing them pistols is no joke. Mad respect. I can do it 2 handed no problem, but I'm all over with 1. You're out here putting on a clinic.
10:52 MGS ALERT SOUND?!
Yep ^^
Racingboom The Pleb haha lol
Yah, that was my phone.
Perfect timing there.
What was that noise!?
Moral of the story: if you went back in time with a gun, you’d be mostly lethal but not 100%
Depends on the gun. Nearly any full rifle caliber will go in one side and out the other, some with enough energy left over to do it again.
Until a disease kicks in.
If you're vaccinated youd be a freakin god.
Ultra Fox Try an actual vaccine against diseases in 1121.
Even the ones that didn't penetrate would ruin the person's day. He's got a concussion at least or a piece of metal where his cheekbone was.
No intro no ads, skal ur a true bro!
4:41 Lol, those last 2 shots didn't even move the helmet. They just passed through.
10:52 metal gear solid detected sound
probably a ringtone
@@diegosilang4823 noo Snake was nearby that's all
!
!
!
10:53 was that the mgs alert sound?
Yes it was lol
exactly what I was thinking
Masterchezze isn't your profile picture a gay porn video?
It's the alert sound from Metal gear solid video game. Probably his text tone on his cell.

Its a meme by now
Speed kills. It's crazy that these helmets offer a level of protection against lower velocity rounds. Rifle rounds on the other hand different story.
Curious, in a tense fight how do you get that lead ball 0:06 out if you forget to pour in the powder first?
lmao 10:52
YOU FOOL! YOU DIDNT USE A SUPPRESSOR! THEY KNOW YOU ARE HERE!!
Kids in africa could wear this helmets
Kevin Trang but some already are
No, to dark?
Why did i got 10 likes?
Kevin Trang you didnt.
DONE Shadow now i got 16
Kevin Trang exactly
They were such beautiful helmets too..
I have one thing to say:
*HEADSHOT*
I could dump most of the channels I'm subbed to... But this is one of maybe half a dozen I would never unsub. Just too unique, friendly and cool.
Thank you. :)
Skallagrim wadi jus me or did your rifle bend? 7:03 I hope I was jus me
RayMasters03
It's just the fisheye effect from the wideangle lens. I wouldn't shoot a bent barrel.
at 10:53, after the shot is fired, the Metal Gear Solid " alert" noise ( ringtone) goes off right away, hahaha, perfect timing
10:53 sounds like you've been spotted
Man I've been watching to much forgotten weapons it hurt watching you load that hahaha.
It's interesting that the older, less efficient rounds did more damage than the more modern ones.
It depends on the caliber. 9mm and .45 cal do not have big penetrating power hence why are they used primarily by civilians and the police while more heavier rounds are being mostly used by military.
Not even remotely true. 9mm is the primary round used in military sidearms. .45acp was developed for military use and fell out of fashion when the US adopted the M9 as the standard military sidearm in 1985. Both rounds are regularly used by military and civilians today and there isn't such a thing as a military caliber when it comes to small arms. The real reason the older firearms were doing so much damage is because the rounds were very heavy and slow moving objects. Many muskets are between .50-.70 caliber and feature a very heavy bullets traveling at slow speeds. This infers a strike that creates a big dent or hole in a metal surface that is relatively thin such as a helmet. Handguns are meant for self defense only and are therefore generally under powered, especially semi autos, because they often compromise power in order to have a round small enough to fit in the grip of the frame. If you are going to war then you are going to use a rifle. Modern military rifles use the same round as the AR15 they were shooting, 5.56x45(NATO) or 7.62x39(AK). These rounds are often lighter or the similar weight as their handgun cousins but travel at extremely higher velocities due to a much larger casing, thus a greater amount of propellant, and longer barrel to infer that energy into the bullet when fired. Even though the damage would seem greater from the older firearms, this damage is mainly cosmetic to the helmet. The lighter rifle rounds were penetrating at a higher velocity. Had there been a person wearing that helmet, the damage would have been substantially more lethal and also more reliably consistent. It just creates the illusion of less damage because it so effortlessly punches through.
You know an AR-15 fires a round that's smaller than a 9mm, right? It's conical and higher velocity, which is why it goes straight through.
I am not judging it by psychical size but by penetrating capability and also by their official designations.
9mm are small caliber weapons, while 5.56 ( or 7.62 here ) are considered medium size weapons.
Rifles will always be more powerful than pistols or revolvers. The helmet could stop the old Colt .45 and the new .45ACP. Which it couldn't stop was 9mm, 7,62 Tokarev.
Speed kills armor. And smaller projectiles are generally faster and are superiour when it comes to armor penetration.
10:54 Snake?...Snake?...SNAKE!!
Of course a gun that loud would alert the guards.
Good, I thought I was hearing things.
OMG i was wondering if anyone else noticed hahaha
I'm still confused as to where that came from.
He probably has it as a notification sound on a phone. So do i, and that really confused me when i heard it.
Try Ned Kelly's cowboy armor next
No idea how it stood up to the guns
@@baileyjarrett8571 pretty good exept he didn't have any on his legs so bye bye to his knees and he's down for the count.

Three things I learned from this video: 1) A revolver does more damage than a pistol.
2) A black powder gun has more power than a revolver and pistol.
3) If we make the helmet an half an inch thicker, it would provide enough protection from modern handguns to be used in battle. Of course it'll take a strong person to wear, but it's possible. I think that ancient armor stands a good chance against modern firearms if they are made thicker and heavier. This is my conclusions from the video.
Lance Cripe Sorry but against military grade weapons the armor would be way to thick and heavy to be of any real use. Handguns aren't a problem we even have wests nowadays that are better than plain metal armor but even those stand not to much of a chance against military weapons.
That may be true, but, however, I don't need armor of any kind to save me from a bullet. All I need is my will of fire and iron determination to keep on going. I'm serious. People to this day believe if you get shot with a .45 caliber your going down and dying. If you believe you will go down from a bullet wound you will will go down, but if you believe you can keep on going after getting shot 6 times from a .45 S&W revolver you may very well keep on going. My friend got shot 2 times and kept charging at the guy and murdered him with his bare hands. Power of the mind defeats everything. I got off topic and rambled. But yes, your right, to the average soldier it would be way way to heavy. Btw, it was in self defense.
Lukas Jampen military still uses big chunks of metal as armor.
Revolvers are pistols, no need to make the distinction
There is a pure need to make the distinction. Revolvers are not pistols, or did they forget to teach you that in Basic Training? The First main difference is that they operate with different mechanical systems. A revolver uses a Cylinder system to operate. A pistol uses a chamber system. A revolver has less bullet count because of the cylinder, while a pistol has a lot more bullets. The revolver is more powerful due to it being able to hold more gunpowder per bullet. The Revolver is also much more accurate and deadly in the hands of a professional than a pistol. There is a clear distinction, and you will know when you get shot by a revolver, and then shot by a pistol. Pistols have a completely different mechanism, are less accurate, are less powerful, hold more bullets, and have better fire rate. So please, tell me, why I shouldn't classify them as to different things.

As a viewer and fan of shadiversity, I highly appreciate this comment chain. But, such a comment also begs the question: What about dragons?

Hammering that first shot down sounded awesome.
10:54 apparently that shot alerted a guard to Snakes presence
