Chain mail vs. APFSDS with polearm, spear, and arrowhead shapes.

Everything was made with a 3d printer.

[@jaye1967]

One thought on this test is your chainmail is the split ring type. While easier to make, most historical chain mail is riveted, which means 4 solid rings connected to a riveted ring. It would be interesting to see how the riveted plastic rings would hold up. Part of the failures is the split rings spreading at the split.

[@Br1cht]

Right, so obvious a fail to use non rivited mail.

[@shoelace2739]

You should make composite armor and test its effectiveness against your sabots

[@neidhartmuller8804]

what is composite armour?

[@MeowserLJC]

@@neidhartmuller8804 Layered armor usually with different materials and air in between, its used on modern MBTs (Main Battle Tanks).

[@belkan_chad]

​@MeowserLJC such as Chobham armor

[@the_duckzilla5521]

What materials would the armour use? The sabots are stopped by plastic and clay, so everything would feel like overkill against the sabots

[@galacticdragon9841]

They would need a metal apfsds (like aluminum or steel, something easy to machine with a lathe) and a MUCH better propellant for the actual sabot to be used properly. Apfsds is long so that it has as much mass and material to use up all of its energy trying to get through. If you are looking for basic penetration tests with a miniature version of a sabot used in the military, these don’t act like those at all since these are all 3d printed and are probably not fired out of some sort of gun, probably an air cannon.

[@hexlart8481]

The chainmail would be slightly more effective and accurate if you melted the ends of the links to "weld" them together. Thus rings would be less prone to just opening up when hit by a projectile. Historical chain mail was actually riveted but I am unsure if you could easily replicate that. Alternatively use a piece of filament and a heat source as a sort of jank plastic soldering iron.

[@faked8586]

Just discovered your channel and already binged it all. Cant wait to see more. Also please make a video on the cannon you use!!! And you should definitely make a patreon with all the files you print, I would 100% pay for that

[@Anton-cg7og]

Who needs composite armor when you have this?)

[@haoshito5754]

Imagine composite armor like this

[@Arash_Leopard]

nah bro. composite armor is still needed, less weight but same protection equals to more mobility.

[@PlasmaFreak]

The quality of these videos is fantastic!

[@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus]

Very clever work. The mail is failing at the un-riveted joins. Impressed by the bamboo spear - mass and small surface-area has its own properties. 👍🏻

[@agravemisunderstanding9668]

This makes sense, chainmail was great against slashes, blades sliding/slicing across the body not so much against stabs or battering, or axes

[@eren_ax9895]

can these penetrate a thin sheet of plastic? if not you could think about getting tungsten tips out of cheap tactical pens and use those at the end of the round

[@Asbestos_]

8 whole minutes of glory! We have been blessed today!

Underrated youtuber

[@canonbal]

this guy has so much time on his hands

[@kazmiz01]

Steel cored bamboo bullets are the way to go.

[@Smartass-pl3nx]

You should make high explosive rounds that use primers to detonate!

[@GooberousFellowIndeed]

bro is the backyard oppenheimer

[@ATypicalDayHere]

this channel is oddly underrated

[@Tiniuc]

*sees chainmail* *chainmail sounds like plastic* "wait what" *the links are left open* "......of course it's going to fail."

[@michaelwoods7770]

The chainmail looks like lock washers. Try some if you dare!

[@Stern_Saebel]

I would definitely try looking for some print in place mail, that stuff is rasy to use.

[@Towarzysz_Orlinski]

What are you firing your projectiles with? Is it a potato gun? The penetrator look like apfsds from previous video

[@Yahs232]

I’m still waiting for the apfsds

[@indyjons321]

Can you do one with aramid fibers and basic clothing like denim?

[@kangaroo_jesus35]

i know if may be a little to hard but i wonder if ice can stop ur apfsds thing

[@TesterTesterTester-rj9rh]

chainmail is used to protect against blunt strikes so maybe you should try to fire cannon balls onto it

[@jesusofbullets]

APFSDS is just an arrow shot by a cannon. Oh how we come full circle…

[@Br1cht]

This is theater armor though, butted mail is for larping so what does it prove?

[@Dr8Zh8r]

what did u use for the backstop?

[@shebadoge]

What do you use to launch the ammunition

[@laramie371]

Make reactive armor panels and see what they do against your various rounds.

[@timinamen1217]

What do you use to shoot these? And how do I make these sabots?

[@whoburntoast]

> APFSDS > looks inside > arrow

[@CoincidenceTheorist]

Chainmail is best for protection against electro magnetic phenomenon.

[@FulvioItaly]

Is it lethal?

[@OrginalTRreis]

02:16 APFSDS ❌ (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot) APFSDH ✅ (Armor-Piercing-Fin-Stabilized-Discarding-Head)

[@grephi6416]

chainmail is made again slashes no?

[@macnuke4771]

Can you link some of the designs for the fin, sabot, and barrel? I'd love to mess around like this in my own garage! Also, what's the most effective suppressor design you've found?

[@llaawwaa]

this guy can kill anyone with a 3d printer

[@Haxxo4]

Yo imagine somehow making it semi auto ,i know it would be very complex but it would be cool like magazines for the shells and system for filling the chamber with gas manually. Great idea right? but it would take a lot of 3d printing material tho... no clue just giving u ideas

[@ALT0_768]

its definitely possible, but printed material usually dosent have enough tolerances for that

[@scooterman103]

Snake-tip may be "inefficient," but it's the one I'd want to get shot with the least!

[@mr.tweaty]

3:32 The true dragon is the damage we(it) did along the way

[@Panzer_turtle]

How about stream your 3d printer printing apfsds?

[@doombringer3498]

Spear must be wider and heavier than arrow, and glaive must be wider and heavier than the spear. Or those all are arrowtips.

[@mevenyo]

This is an arrow , not APFSDS

[@grafigames547]

у кольчуги слишком крупные звенья

[@Xihnic]

How has this man not been deleted yet?

[@Diesr]

Please we need the files of the 20mm apfsds 😢

[@arelfox]

only 5k subs damn

[@queenwidow5381]

You need to at least make either your chainmail smaller or your bullets bigger that way it's a one-to-one scaled ratio can't get accurate results otherwise.

[@erikreber3695]

This is fun for boredom but most chainmail was riveted...

[@gabrielneves6602]

5:25 a few seconds 5:35 forgedaboutit

[@lysanderxiiii]

Now you see why the mail rings were riveted closed in real chain mail . . . Your printed mail is failing due to ring spreading.

[@theDaftmuse]

Not to mention completely different properties between plastic and hardened steel.

[@janbaer3241]

Each link of chainmail is riveted closed.

[@cedhome7945]

Not chainmail it's called mail second it's riveted iron not plastic.....

[@supertracker9823]

There is no sabot.

[@Jormungandr633]

That’s not real “chain” mail. It needs to be riveted, or something like 3D printing it as one piece would work. What you actually made is ring mail. Which is the stuff sold for cheap to larpers

[@Jormungandr633]

You should also add a layer of cotton balls to simulate padding

[@shaunawesoe]

great video but have one admendment to make the raing this isn't what it used to be is, personally would not mean be at 1 star. I give your rating of this isnt what it used to be rating half a star for one star 🤔🤔🤔love frombrazil! ❤🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

[@dickbuttkis]

It's called the dragon spear because they were dragging their spear all over your face
