Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."

[@KadSkirata]

This has a lot of potential, - love how the Maker riveted the plates together. The problem with the original was the glue they used to keep the ceramic plate pattern melted in the heat so the ceramica plate pattern was compromised before even being shot; the Armys test did not go well. The bit of flexibility it does have makes it so appealing. Line it with kevlar on the back to mitigate the shrapnel and we've got the next stage in body armor!

The skit you did in the beginning killed me bruh !! ✌️😂😂🤣 great channel

[@Malva597]

You know, looking back frame by frame, the 375 actually didn't go through. There is a frame where it broke into pieces but the plate behind is seen still intact. The reverberations shattered the plates, sure, but as far as I can see it still tanked the full brunt of the round.

[@meatybtz]

Yup, the round rebounded and then the plates shattered as the shockwave passed through them. You'd be out of action for sure, but alive.

[@leakingamps2050]

That's what I was thinking had happened, glad to see I'm not crazy!

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

Hard to say without ballistics gel how much damage the person would have received. But I would tend to agree, like the ceramic obviously shattered but because the kevlar caught it he said the round stopped. A shame we can never know for sure

[@charliegarrison9688]

Even if it didn't penetrate we can all agree, if someone was wearing that they would have a few broken ribs for sure 😂

[@StayInfamousDago]

@@charliegarrison9688 broken ribs are way better then laying in a casket..these videos are awesome.

[@thebutteravacado722]

A rubberized spall coating would do that homemade dragon skin good or even just a couple layers of that thin Kevlar

[@GeassX]

Exactly what I was thinking. Any kind of anti-spalling coating to protect your extremities, as well as a better strap system to more evenly distribute the weight so you aren't carrying this with your neck.

[@Moose6340]

Spall coating on the front and some layers of Kevlar and a little padding on the back maybe?

[@yeboithunder3287]

yeah i thought matt would bring it up lol

[@K_GHOST225]

Could wear it over the army's standard issue spall vests for flight and tank crews.

I really would love to see these tests done with 20"ARs that could possibly defeat armors. Pistol length is great and all, but that upped velocity in 556 is what sends it through things.

[@bgh1442]

My thoughts exactly. Short barrels slow the speed down enough to not give accurate data. Speed kills armor.

[@shaneh7519]

Looks like a full size barrel for the ar. At least 16 in. Maybe not the full powder burn but close enough, especially since most people are gonna have a 16in
