Hitman: Agent 47 is the new movie adaptation of the stealth-and-cover video game...and you all know how much I love movies based on video games! Here we're dissecting some of the movie details, specifically the ultra futuristic armor that John Smith sports to try to take down Agent 47. We'll be looking at the latest in high-tech armor and figuring out whether it's actually possible to create bullet-proof skin.
When we came up with the idea for this Film Theory, Fox said they'd like to sponsor us! A big thanks to them for their support in making this video happen and letting us take a sneak peek at the film to make sure we got our facts straight!

[@joshualee204]

Javier Beltran you would still feel pain on impact. Although i'm not sure how big the difference in pain would be, but i'm pretty sure it wont be significant as you skin probably wasn't reducing much of the damage from a bullet shot anyway.

[@ObiJuanKonobi]

Joshua Lee idk, never seen the shit. If it distributes the force then I don't think it'd be that painful. But then again it could act like a trampoline. Again I've done zero research.

[@ObiJuanKonobi]

***** makes sense.

[@taliesin3810]

Joshua Lee To get through to the sub-dermal armor, it actually needs to GO THROUGH your epidermis. :/ That's going to be painful. Nothing serious, though, probably... maybe a cut and a bruise there. If it's a large enough caliber, maybe a broken bone, if it's in the right place?

Before you guys start taking out your 50 cal sniper rifles and shooting each other in the face because you have subdermal graphine armor, you also have to realize that shit's going to block the bullets, but not the force. So yeah, you might not get penetrated by a hot metal object, but you're getting decked in the face at a max of 60,000 psi, and while even graphene could stop a huge amount of that pressure, it's still going to feel like you're getting hit by a two inch truck.

What about the kinetic energy though, a bullet could hit the skin armor and be similar to hitting a bone due to it being inside your body meaning whatever stretch or shake from the armor would be smeared directly against your insides and probably cause internal damage even if the armor wasn’t exactly broke, like using a mace on steel knight armor

Here's my problem with sub-dermal armour: How is the skin even still alive? How is it getting blood? In that movie, when you show the knife snapping, why aren't his clothes getting cut along with the skin, only to be stopped by the armour? To get blood into the skin (and to allow for sweating and such) there would have to be weak points in the armour. So, sure, he could have it across his chest, but that skin would surely be dying and he could be shot or stabbed elsewhere...

Theoretically, Titanium COULD work. But it would be a pretty complex web of tiny connected fiberous bit and need to be rigged to muscle and bone in such a way that it spread the impact across the body instead of isolated regions.

Well... No. Titanium is, while very light, is still too heavy, and also, while stronger than ordinary steel, its not really strong enough

GlaciusTS To be honest, I thought John Smith had liquid silicon armor. It's a liquid armor with slightly charged silicon dissolved in it. Upon any kinetic impact would result in the charged silicon to displace a little and attract each other to the point of the impact creating a bullet proof wall. Being implemented in light clothes like business suits.

[@EquineEquinox]

Graphene is ridiculously conductive... which makes it perfect for being a subdermal skin layer in a thunderstorm. Sure, electricity will be drawn to you, but the electricity will just conduct THROUGH the graphene instead of your body (as long as there's enough to draw a significant amount of the current) Sort of like how you're told to hide in a car during a thunderstorm. The car might attract lightning - but it just travels through the metal around the car to the ground. Likewise, if you truly had graphene beneath your skin (all of your skin) the lightning would hit your head, travel through the graphene around you, and then come out your toes into the ground, with you unharmed.

[@mkr9131]

Is that also just a theory or could it really be proven? (if anyone would actually have graphene put under their skin)

[@EquineEquinox]

Not proven, persay, but the principles are scientifically proven. In reality you'd need to test and make sure the graphene was think enough to carry the massive current of a lightning bolt enough that your body would go unharmed. If it was too thin, you'd still be toast.

[@mkr9131]

Would it be possible to have it thick enough to carry the current or would it be too thick to even have under skin?

[@qaaris4280]

That actually wouldn't happen. Sure it's highly conductive, but it's hot. *VERY **_VERY_** HOT.* You would die, not from the shock, but from the temperature of the air surrounding the bolt.

[@skeleletonboi4533]

Sadly, as he is wearing it under his skin the bullet would still hit the skin, ripping through it until it reached the graphene armor. It would be immensely better and more protective to wear it like a morph suit, you (assumably) wouldn't need eye holes as it is so thin and I'm guessing it is breathable because of its thickness. Because of the way it stops bullets you would probably still get bruised but you would (almost definitely but not certainly) not die.

@Jake Render, it's too thin to see, so if I put it on you would see right through it. Someone stealing it is a small matter that isn't a big issue as long as you can find a way to protect it when it's not being worn. You could wear a suit underneath the graphene for insulation, or even some rubber underneath it to protect from any electrical shocks from its super-conductive properties.

[@danielhavlat6461]

Even if it was bullet proof, he would still be seriously injured. The material would need to spread the force of the bullet impact over a very large area in order for him to not have internal bleeding/bones breaking. If you get shot in the chest by a shotgun using buckshot and you are wearing some serious Kevlar, you are still going to have some insane bruises. If he were to get shot in the head, the force could probably indent his skull and kill him. Just because the material is bullet proof doesn't mean that you are not taking the full force of the bullet.

[@Chaotixs11]

+Daniel Havlat The tests on graphene that the video mentions says that graphene spreads out the force of bullets to stop them. So as far as your "the material would need to spread the force of the bullet impact..." line goes, it does do exactly that.

[@danielhavlat6461]

+LegendofSleek Yes, but on what scale? If the spread is minimal it can mess you up pretty good, especially with higher caliber or heavier bullets. Nearly everything spreads the impact of a bullet, while some do it vastly better than others.

[@briansouthparkstudio1357]

+Daniel Havlat it does i think it spreads the energy over the whole outer layer of his body

[@paultubbs2275]

not exactly, shotgun "shot" is a bad example, the energy IS significant, but spread over a large area. Bullets condense the "energy dump" into a smaller area.

[@paultubbs2275]

and serious armor, such as bomb disposal types, would straight laugh at buckshot. Like trying to kill someone by angrily throwing skittles at them. Slugs on the other hand, would at least knock them on their ass. Armor being heavy as fuck, and the energy transfer would unbalance them, if not breaking through

[@cain948]

[@gabedryden6265]

If Graphene is super flexible the bullet may not pierce the skin but it will still leave very severe contusions (bruises) and the high probability of internal organ rupture. If you have seen a person who has been shot while wearing kevlar they are not 100% unharmed.

[@adrianftw973]

The impact is the one damaging you. If you shoot a person wearing kevlar you are bruising him because it dosent take 100% of the impact. With graphite however....

[@sightlessninja2456]

Adrian Ftw With graphite he is wearing pencil lead lol. Graphene is the wonder material.

[@jacobheaton5135]

Nathan Hayes he way scientists get graphene is I kid you not to stick sellotape to graphite and pull it off

[@genocidalsanta3781]

So, the way I see it, hydrostatic shock would still cause some form of internal damage given that the video states, "Graphene will bend, but won't break". Hence the graphene would carry the energy into the body (granted, at a much, MUCH smaller amount) but I would imagine the water in your cells would still carry the energy over and, with enough bullets or with big enough bullets (say, going from .45 ACP rounds in Agent 47's Silverballers to a .308 round rifle round)m I'd imagine internal organ rupturing would still be possible. Plus, the graphene bends. Meaning it would still be pushed into your body from the bullet impact which I'd imagine would be horrifically painful. Anyone smart know if that's correct or if I'm just talking out of my ass? :P

+BlackKanye I dunno. The last person that did that still got struck by lightning, which ignited his belt of bullets and set them off, and then he came back as a fire zombie

[@Thane36425]

It might stop the bullet going through, but the impact energy would still go through, just like it does with Kevlar vests. Unlike in the movies, even if the bullet gets stopped by the armor, you are still likely to end up hurt. So John Smith might not get perforated, but he'd likely have organ damage and broken ribs. Good luck fixing that if the surgeons can't cut through the graphine armor.

[@DrMartinArcher]

Graphene is fantastic at distributing energy out across its surface, as I discuss in the latest video on my channel. For that reason it probably wouldn't hurt as much as you might think.

[@SgtLion]

The kinetic energy in bullets isn't actually that much. It's only because the bullet's small that it goes in. A bullet has about the same energy as a dude jogging at you.

[@Atlazuko]

That's true for small arm's fire but not so much for heavier arms fire. it's one of the reasons you need a higher grade vest to stop it like a dragon skin body armor vest with the ballistic steel or ceramic plates.

[@thegoodlife8901]

Thane36425 Could you use a non Newtonian fluid to oppose blunt force? If you increase force of bullet, the viscosity (ability to resist change) increases.

[@MannyBrum]

Also the bullets would still puncture the skin, so he'd be bleeding all over anyway. Luke Cage doesn't bleed because his skin is bulletproof, but if the bulletproof layer is under the skin, the skin is going to be damaged by the bullets.

[@eli6797]

yeah just because its bulletproof doesn't mean it stops electrify flowing through your body. if anything it helps the electricity flow through your body

[@youliahadzhidimova5260]

Trash Nasty No, no it doesn't help electricity flow through your body. It's far easier for electricity to flow through metal than through your body, so that's what it does. A suit of metal (or any conducting material) saves your body by offering electricity an easier path with less resistance. The lightning will go AROUND your body. The suit will get really hot from the passing electricity, though, and will burn you. Possibly, fatally so. That's still a better chance of survival than you get from electrocution.
