Marble Body Armor😐 Will it Work?

[@ranndomundead9112]

Gonna have to rebrand this one as a chest mounted claymore lol

[@chrisgabbert658]

Definitely 👍

[@brett567]

You shoot mee!! My armour shoot you!!

[@ConstitutionalConservative888]

Marbles were like the newest latest and greatest Playstation back in the early 70s to a young boy.

[@ludeguy]

Have to agree, bear creek arsenal stuff is pretty darn good, have a few uppers myself. The marbles made a surprisingly good armor! Great to see you guys again! 😊😊

[@mfree80286]

FYI, I googled "clear glass balls" and the first thing to pop up was a seller on Walmart's online selling a 2000 pack of what I think are the little glass balls that you find in spraypaint cans, for $9. You can also get glass marbles and 'flat marbles' by the pound if you go looking for the decorative items that you fill vases and bowls with. And I personally would have tried to find a pourable silicone first, or maybe heavy duty polyurea truck bed coating. Might have to layer in something like the coating to get it to dry though. Could even pack it with sand, though you'd need an actual container to hold it.

You guys are dorks. Lol, I love this channel. So down to earth.

[@columbiawarmachine9795]

Lol nice body armor, 1000 marbles! Nice video keep rocking them out

[@GoingBallistic]

Thanks! Will do!

[@BallisticHighSpeed]

Good stuff guys! Sad to hear you don't have your high-speed camera anymore :(

[@GoingBallistic]

Yeah, I had to sell it to pay some bills 😒

[@Thecompanioncrate]

I thought this would be useless but you actually made some form of ablative armor.

[@maddogg1432]

о ура, тесты вернулись ❤😊

[@BCM1959]

You guys are fun to watch, glad to see you are not quitting. I am really surprised that it held up to so many rounds. What would 2 inches of resin take?

[@spike1988x]

i loved playing marbles in grade school, and i think this is armour is going to do well, i imagine it would work like the little ceramic plates

[@normanberg6502]

Crushed ceramic chunks about 0.25-0.5" diameter, mixed into rhino liner (mostly as a binder/self healing medium), poured over 0.5" AR500 to a depth of about 1" of mixture. This should give a 1.5" plate thickness. Go as big/fast as you can.

[@jorgem6273]

Glad you guys are posting again. What happened to your “slow mo” camera? Just curious

[@GoingBallistic]

Had to sell it to pay bills :(

You lost your marbles guys LOL great to have you guys back

I know I lost my marbles. Now I know where they went!! Research and destruction channel has done it again!! Thanks guys. Take care and be safe.

[@GoingBallistic]

Our pleasure!

[@nohjrd]

Can't wait for the next video... you guys are awesome!

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

Wheres the 2 inch ar500 video?

[@GoingBallistic]

It was a while ago, so you will have to do some digging

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

@GoingBallistic ah, I just heard "from the last video" so thought I missed one!

[@jamesd4923]

Great to see you guys together. Mis you a lot.

[@PeterIshman]

I lost my marbles 52 years ago great video guys. Keep up the good work in making these videos.

[@jinglemyberries866]

Great to see you guys back! Thanks for the video!

[@Aquafbody]

Make one out of old tools. Wrenches, sockets, screw drivers etc.

[@Awesomo86]

Love to see drill bit body armor or Maby some made from steel files

[@jeremyfrix522]

Awesome video and i must say the 300 blkout did better than i thought it would

[@terryfreedom9742]

I suggested the marbles but they can't be in resin. They need to be loose so that as they get pulverized, fresh marbles drop down to replace the destroyed ones.

[@GoingBallistic]

So all this is your fault?

[@NoelCraigNI]

stacked plates of casted and heat cured Polyurathane with a shore hardness of 70~80 reinforced with 1% exfoliated graphite by weight and then wrapped in something to catch spalling, try something cheap like boat grade woven fibreglass. I'll make and send you the exfoliated graphite.

[@GoingBallistic]

Lets do it.

[@davidhaseman1231]

I am glad y’all are back !! Fun and totally entertained!!

[@ballisticdummylab]

Good to see you back!

[@simonbach3618]

WE ALSO MISSED YOU, AND I LOVE YOUR BODY ARMOR VIDEOS, I WILL TRY TO THINK OF ONE. I ALREADY ASKED YOU TO MAKE ME AN EPOXY SAND MIX ARMOR!

[@danny1988221]

Thats the armor that you want.. when you hit it,it hits right back 😂

[@bobcatforever3485]

Guys. Good fun video. Thanks for all your work and for sharing. Take care.

[@lucky43113]

How about putting some tamnerite in the center of some armor will it still go off?

[@clanhaav]

why didnt you make a 1 layer and 2 layer prototype to test handgun ammo

[@brianmcguire5189]

So glad to see you both back👍 love your videos!!!

[@GoingBallistic]

Yay! Thank you!

[@cdrkennon]

Fantastic video! Redo as a 4 inch marble armor with .50bmg would be interesting!

[@billkennon319]

Oh and one more thing - with .50bmg you will need to back up some more. Maybe into next county. Those marbles looked like they were flying!

[@TheTileGuys]

Try using fiber tape that you’ll find in the drywall section wrapped in some floor tile hexagon and try using Bondo in place of epoxy or even silicon, I think it would be interesting to see the differences because I don’t think the silicone will blow apart. And I wonder the difference between Bondo and epoxy.

[@TheTileGuys]

Or instead of the tile, just try swapping the epoxy for Bondo. Or the epoxy for silicone.

[@ClassicallyNamed]

Here we go. These guys are full of drama, but it's certainly one of the best slowmo channels of there.

[@adrianmbanks]

Great stuff Chris and Jus. Keep it up!

[@GoingBallistic]

Thanks! Will do!

[@mike-kg2op]

i never expected marbles to be so good a body armor.. but the schrapnel it produces rivals an m67 frag grenade:D thank you for the video keep em coming:D

[@luke144]

Great video guys, Thanks

[@GoingBallistic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dankster990]

You should do different line-x armors

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

There are ceramic balls that are used as fragmentation in munitions designed to cut down on collateral damage that would be interesting to try. They can sometimes be just picked up on test ranges and I’d expect that they or a very similar product would be available on eBay or Amazon. They’re considerably lighter than glass and probably more effective if you wanted to try them. Great work as always guys!

[@GoingBallistic]

I've looked for them and they are expensive.

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

@@GoingBallistic there might be an industrial analog/replacement that would be more economical, but I haven’t looked.

[@Leonards_life]

Yep, I really played marbles and won a lot. I was fascinated by purees and boulders, PS, I am 76 so you know I played em!

[@jonecliptic]

Great job

[@cannedheat33]

Great video! I'm a big fan of the China Mosin. Hard hitter for sure!

[@callumbush1]

I hope there's no rare valuable marbles in there as some sell for over $100 each!

[@GoingBallistic]

No, just new stuff from Walmart

[@whatsupchris]

Bust up some ceramic tile into about 1” pieces and make some armor out of it

[@nohjrd]

I didn't notice the lack of high speed camera until you pointed it out, but now you have... Also, try a 50 bmg against the marbles 😊

[@GoingBallistic]

I had to sell it to pay some bills, but I hope to get it back.

[@daleandersen6727]

I wonder how effective old spark plugs would be?

[@GoingBallistic]

I like it.

[@hiderbear20]

I was looking for my marbles this morning. I'm glad I found them in this video!!

[@LGVX9900ENV]

Jacks and real hot wheels and metal tonka trucks. Idk how many people would suggest armor.. I am thinking 3\8” plate sandwich and a side of Kevlar and some ceramic for dipping. I can’t imagine how much it would weigh.. You guys are great to watch.

[@redmist6131]

Marbles did so well now we have to have ball barring pretty much just steel marbles

[@ratdaddy7774]

Need to do more with 3006 AP and whatever anyone else suggests for the tombstone armor

[@brandiwynter]

I'm surprised that the marbles did so well. Now you have to try again making sure the epoxy is set and then one using silicone or something that stays rubbery with the marbles as well.

[@VikingShelters]

Why is the slow motion footage so blurry ? ??

[@GoingBallistic]

It was windy and the cameras keep moving messing with the focus

[@Thedoug369]

I thought Jim Morrison died like 50 years ago lol😂 Nice look Justin 👍

[@richhh9000]

Holy crap, awesome video guys! Thanks for sharing.

[@ilfarmboy]

when I was a kid the was a hardware store that still sold marbles by the bag

[@ludecom-cz1wz]

Now the question is, can you make a splatter coating out of rubber bands? Vest isn't much good if everyone gets hit with shrapnel.

[@22lr_plinking]

Totally surprised at these results 👍👍👍👍👍

[@tendraftsdeep]

Great idea and cool video Gentlemen!

[@GoingBallistic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnstandfell9458]

Please don't ever stop making video's ok guy's

Heck yea and KZbin is a finicky mistress. I have some run in with her as well. Kinda ridiculous compared to what else is in this app. Great video guys. One day we will get to collaborate.

[@brandonm9236]

Good to see you guys

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

So hear me out... this but with steel balls and its ERA (basically a claymore but reactive armour)😁

[@stevenstandridge2723]

Awesome channel. Subscribed. What state is this?

[@GoingBallistic]

Thank you! Colorado

[@IowasDirtyCivilian]

Pure epoxy at 1/2", 1" and 2". Also epoxy mixed with saw dust at the same thicknesses?

[@GoingBallistic]

Yes and yes

[@cmccombs1967]

How about tryong some type of reactive armor...

[@DinoPwn]

Surprising results! As if the armor functions as a claymore when hit with higher caliber rounds

[@swanseamale47]

Curious how 2 inch strips of glass stacked to make the edges the strike face would work. Just a thought.

[@cascadianrangers728]

Reminds me of the ceramic balls the Soviets used to put into the steel of their tank turrets to help defeat Monroe effect weapons. It worked scary good and NATO anout had a stroke when they realized it was standard in thousands and thousands of tanks allready. I dont think it really did much against kinetic energy projectiles tho

[@stevekelley2341]

I guess this makes you guys the marble men

[@EVLfreak666]

I love watching you guy's have fun😂

[@DementedAugminish]

Spark plugs would be a cool tombstone body armor idea. Maybe it would eat a 50 ball round?

[@2AVET]

Damn. I’d like to see how effective this would be in a fully contained plate so the marbles won’t shoot out.

[@russellwirta6753]

#Idea Next time try marble as in the stone used for counter tops, statues, tombstones and church decor.

[@justinbellpa]

What's a Starburst round actually called?

[@freevipservers]

Retry with a thin steel wall covered in a tape, also use steel ball bearings instead, make sure the alloy is 52100, a billion times tougher than marbles.

[@travisyayes6343]

You guys rock. Love your videos 👍👍

[@tecktan7250]

What if you make a medeval style full body armor out of multible body armor plates put together!?

[@Saa-423]

If marbles did that well, what about ball bearings.

[@GoingBallistic]

We did those

[@Saa-423]

@@GoingBallistic I must have missed that one I will look up. Thank you sorry for not knowing

[@PhileusActual]

As body armour, I'm not totally convinced. But as house protection 🤔 I'd definitely see it! Lol. Great video as always guys! Sending love from the UK Oh and p.s. what about tombstone armour out bullets? Laid down at an angle and stacked a bit like dragon scales 🤔. See if bullets can stop bullets 😂😂

[@davidgraemesmith1980]

Maybe it's too heavy for body armor, but as barrier wall facing the street in rough neighborhood it could be really cool.

Cool. It actually held up.

You can get tungsten powder, and mix the tungsten powder with epoxy and pour that in as armor 👌

If you are driving at 100 mph and fired a weapon would the round be going 100 mph faster than standing still , forwards or backwards.

Hey would you be interested in receiving and testing ww2 50bmg bullets? I have hundreds of intact projectiles from an ammo cache that caught fire so the bullets are intact with the lead unmelted and would probably work just fine for reloading, steel cored. Would be interested to see how ww2 bullets perform compared to modern regular rounds
