[@NotTodayJezus]

Adam!! You should try aiming at a head target wearing a medieval helmet and stick it through the openings!!

[@sergiohenrique2411]

6.50 - slavic axe wouldnt even cut butter with that dull blade ...

[@j.boekema2739]

All riot-cops are "gangsta" till the swamp starts to speak old-saxon. Love your video!

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

it still took a power stab from a massive dude, and a spartan throw from a world champion throwing expert to get deep enough.

[@elishafollet5347]

Just throw a coked out meth head with a machete at it and they probably would have made quick work of the shield in seconds

[@Cookydona]

So, if you wanna fight the police, don't forget to take your viking spear xD

[@KonginDB]

Don't give anybody ideas in this day and age

[@jedcollings3624]

@@KonginDB They'll know, recent events have shown that guns are a good way to not get beat up in riots anyway

[@Igor-my6ml]

Viking seax is even better haha

[@rrenkrieg7988]

once they see you running in with the ax you'll get a rubber 40mm slug to the face

[@user-cw7yi1ew1z]

Bannerlord ws riot shield polices. nice mod idea

[@jeffdorman1]

So basically, if a group of riot police accidentally wandered into a time-warp and found themselves in the Dark Ages, their shields would keep them safe so long as they didn't encounter any viking warriors

[@nicholaslopez6578]

Yk it's gonna be a good video when he says "hello my friends"

[@h378dh4uj]

I think the slow death of heavy infantry losing momentum must have been so much worse than the swift deaths of lighter infantry. Also, the visibility of having a riot shield would have been an incredible advantage but a terrifying view.

[@tommyb4960]

damn those things are though! Great video man 🤘

[@TexZenMaster]

Just got a good deal on a second-hand 48" tall version that's nearly twice as thick. It's nearly 15lbs, but it is a solid wall.

[@winstonpan6051]

0:07 Ya'll just gonna ignore how impressive that was?

[@grigoriyefimovichrasputin7897]

Cool throws

[@OnTheRiver66]

Great video! Did the Slavic ax have a sharpened edge? I didn’t get a close view but from what I saw the edge appeared blunt.

[@luciusirving5926]

Everyone is gangsta until the slinger lobs superquenched steel bullets.

[@000A0]

I loved how the big guy screamed

[@marcindziki2089]

Długo czekałem na taki film. Zajebisty!

[@SNARK555]

That was awesome, guyz!!! The Viking weapons are the best... My favs are viking axe, war hammer and this killer-sax of course. ;)

[@lefunnyN1]

0:52 what is the exact name of that type of axe?

[@stephenmacleod6173]

My only concern with this is that it does not take into account the concussive force that will be occurring on the neck and spine with these blows.

[@The_Keeper]

Yup. Most of the blows on the Kevlar helmet would have been lethal, if not at once, then surely in a day or two.

[@LCRDKazrai]

​@Siward Beorn A rifle round has momentum but not much mass. Kevlar is meant to distribute the impact of a round with little mass though its many layers. The warhammer has the force of the person swinging it and much more mass behind it. I will say that if the helmet was whole and not damaged beforehand then it may have withstood the first impacts better due to the curvature allowing for blows to glance off it. A direct hit on the top of the head would have compressed the neck of a wearer and done major damage. That kind of damage can be seen during the Crusades when the flat top Templar helmets came into use. Heavier weapons such as hammers, or stones dropped from walls might not have buckled the helmets from impact, but the soldiers' heads were still pushed down and caused compression injuries to the spine and neck. It's also seen more recently during WWI when shelling caused stones and debris to fall onto the heads of soldiers wearing rounded helmets, and they also came out with neck and spine injuries (instead of being killed outright by the falling debris. That all being said, a strong blow to the head might do even more than just compression damage and instead buckle the kevlar helmet and crush the skull. As for the bec de corbin (spike) part of the hammer, that was meant to penetrate armour of all sorts. If someone of decent strength, and more importantly, good accuracy were to strike the helmet with the spike it would sink into the helmet. As we see in this video it did not penetrate all the way through the helmet. This is due to the helmet being empty. If a human head was inside then the helmet would have nowhere to bend into. At that point the target would likely have a fractured skull, even if the point didn't penetrate all the way through.

[@jeremyarthur280]

awesome video!

[@TimpaLinkosling]

Furious testing!

[@maddogtroy28]

Fun fun video thanks

[@larryweimer4511]

Watching master Jakub smash the shield to pieces with the Viking sword made it my favourite, Adam. Took a lot of jam to hold it while he swung the mace at it too. Fun time and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@tysker666]

hej as a danish viking i recommend u to sharp the axes , and the shield is gone for good . we tried even with arrows from a 70 pound bow, no chance for the shield

[@humpymcsaddles3696]

my god that thing took a beating AND its very light. a medieval army carrying those things would have had a serious advantage.

[@fahdthey2272]

This really cool Adam

[@OnlyAntonio]

For Honor 2 graphics looking mighty nice...

[@techmo___]

Verry nice/impressive ☝️😉

[@cenekmitas475]

další skvělé video Adame

[@brianwatkins8484]

I'm glad to see you still here. As a fellow thrower I prefer the tomahawk and spikes I have been throwing for 14 years now. I could only afford to give you 5 dollars a while back but you need stick around brother. Stay strong u have brothers and sisters around the world.

[@CreatioNNoitcurtseD]

Wicked episode man, the production value seems even higher than usual and those shoes are badass! \m/

[@SNARK555]

btw what's the name of the song at 11:25?

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

Awesome testing, I like stuff from the middle ages.

[@dylanmcgregor6496]

Really enjoying this series of vids!

[@elishafollet5347]

Ngl im honestly surprised from just how well the sheild managed to hold up till the end i figured it would have been shredded Sooner since its meant for bullets rather than melee.

[@eon2330]

It would also be FAR less likely to be penetrated if a person was holding it. As people aren't/won't brick wall a block. They will give and bend with the momentum. So the shield would actually be stronger.

[@eon2330]

Also it is ment for rocks and baseball bats. Not really bullets.

[@Trollvolk]

Jakub going fully berserk on that shield XD.

[@dobosbence1202]

3:52 Adam in the background 😂

[@javierchavez9656]

Guys I don't think that the weapon would have to Pierce the helmet to kill the soldier

[@TheMylittletony]

The concussion would be seriously damaging.

[@Arn-kg5tf]

Never without m'y warhammer !!

[@franzschnabel1602]

Hi good Vid like always^^ Where can i buy this Helmet ? it´s awesome what it takes to destroy it, very tough !

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

A fun video for certain, but methinks one thing is always forgotten in tests like these; shields and helmets when carried and worn have much more give under impact, rather than being braced stock still like a tree. But still, very fun video lads. ^.-.^

[@Captain-Electro]

Impressive!

[@genrichkrokodil6425]

Master Jakub raging in this episode :=)

[@prochorius]

Koukám, že to dá dost práce zničit kevlarovou helmu. Voják by měl asi opravdu špatnej den ale vydržela dost. Pěkný videjko :-)

[@barosha_0763]

I really enjoy your videos, where you are testing weapons on shield or something else. I'm from Ukraine, so it will be very interesting watching more slavic weapons

[@josephdif]

I enjoyed watching this but an accurate test would be to use a new helmet or shield each time so that their integrity wouldn’t be weakened from the earlier weapon. 🤙

[@random6033]

why not pad the inside of the shield with kevlar (this should protect from the spear)

[@rupertthebusdriver8997]

O yes great stuff

[@Kingdomkey123678]

The person inside the Kevlar helmet is very dead but hey no penetration :D

[@bigmistake6052]

I mean with the helmet it would hurt regardless if it penetrated or not

[@jessewjames-ym1rc]

movies are full of fake situations as a brave knight VS a bunch, with his fancy sword. a guy VS a bunch was not the usual, generally they never broke lines but could be, instead sword most likely carrying a warhammer or something else able to pierce armors

[@ruroniabbadon3278]

That's not how you demonstrate technical superiority.

[@jileel]

This aged well.

[@gergelycsaki974]

Didnt know master Jakub had a history in viking fighting

[@FahlbergAfJesus]

Lol 3:05 you can see that the slavic axe is blunted

[@tomwhitworth1560]

Forgive my ignorance but what country these dudes from?

[@Tkoutlosh]

CZ

[@nathanheenan3001]

So if I ever go rioting, I should whip out my medieval arsenal?

[@benjaminkauss4327]

A axe isn't make to penetrate the shield, if the arm gets brocken or the head broke its not important if the shield or helmet is intact.. Sry for my english it's not my first language.

[@benjaminkauss4327]

And it's simple to get the shield away with a axe

[@jmcfintona999]

Irish ace, you mean gallowglass axe. Gallowglass were elite warriors from the highlands of Scotland. They were descendants like the Norman's of Norwegian Vikings.

[@leopoldsingh7973]

Medieval riot control be like

[@sergiollorenteprados3528]

Aweeeesome

[@Arn-kg5tf]

Steel interesting :)

[@dominic.h.3363]

Are the weapons metallurgically accurate? Can't help but wonder if it's the modern forging process that gave those weapons the necessary structural integrity to be able to damage/penetrate a riot shield.

[@potatoslave0357]

The Slavic axe just makes me laugh😂Looks out of place, but I’m sure it had its uses.

[@matejlachman5895]

It was blunt version, used for reenactment fighting. Original was sharp. It is based on original piece dug from ground 30km east from Prague.

[@potatoslave0357]

Matej Lachman was the axe head small in the time it was truly used? The size just made me laugh because compared to the Irish axe it was so small lol

[@matejlachman5895]

@@potatoslave0357 It was actually used, that reproduction is made to match precisely the original. The Slavic axe is from 10th century. back then iron was more rare. The Irish axe is approximately from 16th century, when iron was much more available.

[@Kingdomkey123678]

Smaller Axe heads were meant for penetrating armor and shields. All the weight of a normal Axe head concentrated into a small area

[@johnholland67]

Kevlar over steel helmet would be impenetrable.

[@NATALIEKING1976]

Viking spear!!! Manly shit like this is HOT!!!!!!!

[@theRyoushi]

I have many reservations about this work. But I'll simplify it. I haven't seen anything so bad in a long time.

[@milknuts8315]

1:06 clonk

[@6shadowx391]

I am a beginner knife thrower and I got the perfect point rc 1793b and they are very good they are 8 inches each and the tips are very sharp

[@johnjacomb2645]

If you pause the video at 3:04 you can see that the Slavic axe is a combat safe one with a 3mm edge why fake tests like this haha. Terrible test...
