1:30 bro literally casully leaked a secret document to the m1a2 abrams armor🤣

Excellent video, not enough content on experimenting with composite armor! Can I recommend one thing? when working with ceramics make sure to hold all sides under compression against a rigid backer and faceplate. This keeps tensile stress off of the ceramic allowing it to work on what it does best- compressive strength. As well, a tight fitting faceplate keeps the ceramic shards from bursting outward keeping all the particles in the path of the bullet

Hold on why didnt you post anything new are you ok ?

You made understand how composite armor works by showing and using proper explanations not simply repaeating the same works all over again thank you good sir

Actually shurtchern was supposed to stop anti tank rifles

0:24 You're mistaken, sloping armor does increase weight as the size of the plate to protect the same square area needs to increase. In fact, you need as much weight to have the same effective thickness on a flat and an angled armor plate. However, with clever design, you can use the slope of the armor plate to require less armor elsewhere (getting rid of roof armor for example). However roof armor was rarely thick anyways, limiting the benefit of sloping (while sloping reduced the internal volume of the vehicle as a downside). I think the real question is, does a bullet pierce less effective thickness when the armor is sloped or does it behave the same as non sloped armor.

very good explanation

Always amuses me when people pronounce homogeneous, homo genius.

Amazing video, I couldn't believe somebody actually made the exact thing I was looking for!

Trump shooter gun and ammo

Try M855A1 nowadays

thats a t-62 on that picture

ty for this great video

So.....an Abrams tank will be useless after one hit. It would have to go back for a major rebuild.

Your video answers all my questions very well! In addition, I have heared that rubber has some positive impact when slices of it are in the spaced armour. It seems that rubber sticks to the projectile and bleeds energy from the projectile. But I am not sure what type of rubber they use so your demonstration is very good with the limited equipment you had.

This is the most educational and comprehensive video to understand composite armor I've ever seen.

it is shocking to me how powerful bullets are. i would not have thought they would penetrated steel like that

While the tiles aren't as efficient as the glass, they should have better second hit resistance if they're nailed down properly

Everyone talking about sloped armor seems to be neglecting the fact that a sloped piece of armor is longer in relation to the horizontal protection it affords. In relation to the vertical armor it is meant to replace, the weight is the same as the shorter piece of thicker verticle armor.

That was a pretty cool demo. It would have been interesting to see how an adhesive between the ceramic and metal would have affected the outcome.

Interesting that that little standoff is enough in the thin-thick array. You'd expect it to need more distance to maybe tumble or something.

Try some spacing between the layers, see if that changes performance of otherwise identical arrays

big blade was good steel, much harder. You can tell by the fact that there are no brazed tips.

Maybe a nera concept … steel / rubber / steel concept

Would be interesting to see wider spacing.

Americaa fuck yeahh🤮

the issue with the ceramic armor is the pieces are flying away. traditionally they stay put and grind the bullet to a pulp. but when you are exposing the edges the ceramic has place to move away and does not perform effectivly. i think you should use tape and wrap around the entire plate.

I have a great idea about keeping projectiles from penetrating armor. I will be making a video showing the makeup of the material. P.S. will keep it a secret till the show.

Thank you for finally explaning this in a way that fully details it without being overly technical and relying solely on terms. seeing this in action is fantastic. The only other ways I've seen this is people showing off commercial armor plates. I really like how you used your own materials for this test. I also want to point out that the same M855 out of a 20" barrel will penetrate the 1/2 inch steel plate, But in my case I have a similar setup rifle to you with a 16" barrel and It's been hard to find a good comparison because most people use either a BCM 11" or 14.5" barrel or the M16 style 20" barrel for these tests. Thank you!

bless you bro, really good information you give..straight to the point

This thing is 4 years old could someone tell me why it sounds like it was read by an AI? So far he's mispronounced "homogeneous" and "sandwich". This is supposed to be 4 years old. I don't remember any AI reading for videos back then. Why the hell would someone remake an old video using AI?

one of the greatest videos i watcht on youtube

i suspect when the ceramic plate/balls are acsted in the metal with no air gap, the kinetic energy is be even more evenly distributed

Tiger frontal Armor 😊 T95 Frontal Armor 💀

Well--it isn't armor and won't stop current anti armor projectiles---period. ALL main battle tanks can penetrate the frontal armor on ALL other main battle tanks--period. This so called "armor" has to be a joke.

cool to know tbh

When a thin plate bends it reduces the peak force by increasing the stopping distance.

0:32 Germany and US put on more armour and protection, USSR makes a meat shield out of infantry. Though I hope so of the logic was the infantry would also defend themselves and the tank rather than just the impact...

The way you pronounce homogeneous irks me. It isnt "homo-genius" 😂

Can anyone explain whats tempered glasa

homogenous, not homogenius 🤣

cool video

I thought ceramic was to counter shaped charge effect and not kinetic energy rounds

awesome video

Hello there! Chobam armour pronounced Cobam was developed in the Military vehicles and engineering establishment Surrey England,near Chobam common, hence the name.

i forgot that 300mm thick is 30cm

I really wanted you to make some shaped charges are fire them at it lol.

What about using plastic?
