HYDRAULIC PRESS AND ARMY BELTS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Using a hydraulic press, we will test the tensile strength of military trouser belt slings from different countries.

[@ponponpeng]

The first test sample is definitely not a Chinese military belt, It might just be cosplay gear for enthusiasts. Chinese military belts are made of nylon material, have a very obvious star, and also contain the "八一" symbol inside.

[@alxvideos6634]

I searched the cover image of the video on China's largest shopping website and found the origin of the belt. It is a belt used by military enthusiasts, and it is a very cheap type, worth 7 RMB (less than one US dollar) and the postage is included. I despise the author for the fake content of the video!

[@niemi5858]

That's true, only if you consider a belt to be a single purpose bit of kit. In a bad situation one should be inventive and a belt can be used for more than just holding up one's pants and other bits of kit.

[@receptayyip1410]

True, but a wide stiff belt is good to hang relatively heavy things from without it collapsing.

Apparently wherever he is in Europe, they don’t have any surplus stores with current gear. And he clearly doesn’t know the value of a couple of those belts here in the US. Surplus stores would actually pay a decent amount of money for Cold War era Soviet or NATO gear. I will gladly send him an extra belt if he needs a current US Army issued belt.

[@Dr_piFrog]

Your experiments were interesting. Comforting to know that the world military will not be loosing their pants. I don't understand the logic in these belt designs; why design belts with super-strength belt strap material when the buckle, especially the plastic-clip type, will fail way before mildly stretching the belt fabric.However there may be other uses of the strap material that I am unaware.

[@stinkyfungus]

The heavy duty two layer nylon web with an internal stiffening core is used because - warfighting equipment is HEAVY. These are not trouser belts for keeping your pants up or shirt tucked. These are designed to be used in conjunction with load bearing suspenders to carry gear on. Ammo, canteens, e tools, gas masks, ruck sacks, etc. If the belt isn't strong and stiff - the edge will roll and the equipment hung on it will flop around. That's why. And the latest designs pair a cobra style climbing harness buckle, and fall rated webbing, with a carabiner loop sewn in - which can be used for an emergency rappel if needed.

[@Dr_piFrog]

@@stinkyfungus Thanks for the explanation, good.

[@unknown0soldier]

@@stinkyfungus To add onto that, these belts are meant to be used for a variety of other tasks in emergency situations, like pulling a wounded comrade out of combat, or as a handle to carry/pull heavy objects. So they need to be as strong and durable as possible

[@pintiliecatalin]

@@stinkyfungus Dr_piFrog has a valid point. The belts are way stronger then they need to be. The buckles are a week point. I suspect that it is why the person who tested them did not actually used the buckles to hold them in place. And there is another issue with one specific buckle design -the one used on the old US one. I haven't used one of those but modern ones with those little hooks that interlock are prone to open themselves with an accidental tap on them.

[@brankokryze9179]

99,9% of soldier work in war theater is not fighting but surviving. Since we are human we need tools and be able to improvise with what we have. Since the belt is something you always have and it is handy for numerous things, you want it to be reliable even if compromised. It can be used as improvised handle, load bearer or drag line, fishing or hunting aid, animal control (leash or tether), improvised stretcher handle, shelter construction, climbing aid or to secure gear on vehicle or backpack. Or simply for anything you just need. So quality gear is important as long as you need your soldiers to live in war theater and not just pumping them there to die.
