[@billybyrns2557]

I’m honestly impressed with how effective the curved armor is. Though, to the initiated, it should come as almost no surprise, seeing how similar concepts are used on tanks. I’ll mention, another YTer also made use of that concept, and 1/4 inch thick steel managed to deflect just about all but .50 BMG. Save for some hotter loads, I think angled/curved armor/plating may yield some actually interesting testing.

[@ebreshea1337]

It's great if you can predict where the shots will be coming from. Any shot that's not directly head-on will reduce the armor's effectiveness. 45 degrees off and the curvature will have no effect. For tanks you can rotate that armor 90 degrees and any shot parallel to the ground will be deflected either into the ground or the sky. For humans, though, that would just deflect it into your chin or your groin (because you can't feasibly get full coverage with that geometry). Late medieval/renaissance armor was rounded to somewhat increase chances of deflection regardless of where it was coming from, though the armor was thicker in the front and especially vital areas. It also had geometry in place to guide arrows away from the neck region, to keep them from being deflected upwards into the helmet.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

There have been lots of tests for the military with that type of system. The problem is that it will deflect into the people standing beside you. It is good for one person with no one standing on either side of them.

[@marcpellicerarbona8309]

the only application i see 4 that is on a shield

[@God_Is_Bulgarian]

To be honest the armor wasnt angled properly if it was angled like tank's it would be more effective as angling armor can effectively increase its thickness twice

[@tomjongman4797]

@@whatever-hd5vp Stab vests stop a knife stab(almost like its in the name), and most likely a direct sword hit or a long distance arrow. But uhm, there are a lot of gaps in modern armour where you could stab/hit and be lethal, or hit the arms that are mostly unprotected and do a lot of damage. So medieval weapons could easily kill a soldier, if that soldier wouldnt use modern weapons. As soon as there are guns, you would need a whole lot of medieval soldiers to kill a modern one(amount depending on the distance and the weapon used, example: browning M1 with unlimited ammo on a hill 500m away would kill a lot)

@@tomjongman4797 stab proof vests are designed to stop knifes, if you put them against a halbeard/warpick/poleaxe. Or any other anti-armor weaponry of medieval times any stab proof vests are gonna be destroyed, because it's essentially a modernized gambeson (no need of looking for gaps). Now the bullet proof ones are gonna be an interesting test. He should also get someone that can get the edge alignment right for the test. Ofc a single soldier with a M1 would delete a medieval army, there is a reason guns eventually outclassed any other weapon.

[@tomjongman4797]

@@jordicl4325 In this case i was talking about the most "common" weapon people associate with the middle ages which is the sword. The sword would probably have trouble going through a stab vest and wouldnt go trough any higher rated armour as well, but as you said most anti-armour weapons would likely go through a stab vest. As for higher rated armour, it would depend on the material its made from. Steel plates would be thick enough to stop any(?) medieval weapon, however its only on the front and back(most of the time) meaning a stab/cut in any non-protected area will pretty much be fatal(losing an arm,/getting stabbed in your throat will probably kill you). medieval weapons would work better on ceramics since its brittle, it wont go trough the first time but repeated strikes should weaken it enough for a warpick or halberd to go through. same thing regarding weakspots applies tho. For referance a 170Ib longbow could generate about 150J of energy point blanck, generic 9mm FMJ should be around 500J.

the angled armor performing makes a lot of sense seeing as you're increaseing you're effective thickness and decreasing the bullets penetration and inducing a chance of a ricochet

[@TheSamuelnewbloom]

I’m not sure why we are just seeing melee weapons. It’s hilarious watching Matt’s confidence disappear where the star goes 7 feet about the dummies head 😂

[@damon2772nomad]

Imagine being in combat and running out of Grendel. You'd have a really cool hiking stick.

[@rustyshackleford8149]

Lol, yeah imagine buying a rifle with relatively difficult to source ammo without having the ability and products to load said ammo X 1000.... minimum

[@Debbiebabe69]

I love it how people dont refer to it as 'ammo' or 'bullets' - they specifically say they are running out of Grendel!.🦆 You never hear people shooting then saying 'im running out of NATO' or 'im down to my last ten Colt'.....

[@MF-Rell]

💀🤣

[@randomperson58925]

Can still find it relatively cheap. My .270 or .308 on the other hand........... needless to say I'm seriously considering grendal.

[@ryanmurphy7290]

Not any different than running out of 5.56 in combat..

[@mikstratok]

After that episode where Matt curved bullets thorugh 100ft of pvc tube, I'm not surprised about the curved armour working

Matt: it’s medieval armor The armor: street signs, ceramic, and carbon fiber.

[@ebreshea1337]

I think some of the hema youtubers already criticized him for his other video using essentially costume armor. I'm not too surprised but still a little disappointed

[@theaceistheace7789]

6.5 Grendel has been my favorite caliber since I started shooting and using a hera arms stock with a timney trigger you won't be less than impressed

[@geuros]

I love that DMR, probably my new favourite gun of yours alongside Falkor Petra and of course the Barretts. Hope to see more of it in the future

[@creeperfan2734]

I had an experience with 6.5 Grendel before, so a casing was in my pocket of my sweater once because I had forgotten about it and it fell out while I was at school so the weekend comes and apparently someone decided to report about it because the cops where at my door but I showed them it was a casing and not a useable round as they were told and left and that is my experience with 6.5 Grendel.

[@whlnmchl]

Had a similar experience I usually would shoot a bit before school in 6th grade I think, forgot I had a few .22 rounds in my coat pocket one fell out while I was sitting down. Got called to the office sheriffs deputy’s were waiting explained the situation they searched my bag and locker and stuff I had gave them the ammo and that was that pretty rural school so that probably saved me. Lmao always checked my pockets before going though from that point on 🤣

[@GreyGooseNWO]

Please don't shoot anyone at your school

[@looksirdroids9134]

hey idk if anyone else has suggested this but i think getting some scope cams would be a really cool idea I don't know their proce range but you probably have enough so this is just a suggestion that I thought would be cool keep up the good work

[@paparoach007]

I would love to shoot the 6.5 Grendel one day in my life, I know there are other similar or better firearms to shoot but this one I really like. Also I love these kind of videos because they're interesting to watch, you never know someone could miraculously make a solid armour build made out of plywood and sheeted metal or whatever they can get their hands on, plus Matt's funny humour makes the video 10x better to watch!

[@MrRimant]

O joy. The sword and armor community can have yet another video to talk about Matt. Lol. I am sure shad and scal will love to continue to tell you to stop buying wish armor. 😂

Glad I'm not the only one who loves to watch both gun and sword communities

What's worse, nerds that drool over swords or armor? I think it's the ones who pull on their trunk over European swords, and then cry about how their junky swords are better than the Japanese swords.

Maybe put it on a building instead

I've got agree with you on the Luth-AR stock. I bought a MBA-3 Carbine stock & Atlas mono-pod for an AR-308 build and shelved it in favor of an A2 fixed stock. The MBA is a good alternative to the PRS Gen 3 at half the cost but there isn't anything it can do that other stocks can't and it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing in my view.
