Fun fact, he pronounces it correctly. Here in America we actually pronounce it incorrectly. We stole the English language and made it different and added slang. Using the word aluminum and the pronunciation is different from American English to say British English. You know the British kind of were the originators of the English language so we actually pronounce a lot of words incorrectly. It's ok common core is a crap way to have kids learn, I'm sure you didn't know better.

Nah but nah. As a paramedic, that individual with the first blast was experiencing cardiac tamponade and heavy lung contusions and hyperbaric injuries. Human bodies are not made of rubber. Almost certainly intestinal, liver and spleen lacerations and spinal injuries too. So not survivable.

[@Aaron-zu3xn]

the military doesn't care if you survive they just wanna be able to pass the gear on to the next guy without spending money on buying another

[@splewy]

Yeah exactly what I was thinking. It’s not just about penetration. That’s still a lot of energy being absorbed by the body. No way the grenade blast would be survivable.

Nope. You would not survive diving on a grenade. Even if the plate doesn't allow any shrapnel through, all that energy will still transfer through the plate and disrupt organs and cause internal hemorrhaging just with the force of the concussion.

[@imgoingberserk5918]

I hate being the know it all, but M855 is not an armor penetrating round, but rather a barrier penetrating round. It's made for punching through walls and other barriers to attack enemy personnel behind them. Against armor it's no different, perhaps even worse, than a standard cartridge.

[@homefront3162]

🖕🏻🤓🖕🏻

[@jakep111]

M193 actually works better out of a 20 in

[@GenScinmore]

Yep! Nailed it. 855 is piss poor against armor

[@knobjob2839]

Maybe in future tests you could put the claymore way closer to the armor/randy as a "worst case scenario" test, that also gets most of the shrapnel on target. Real world would more like how you set it up though.

[@aboringsandwich]

How about M193 from a 20"? 30-06 black tip?

[@jlambuth]

We can def do that. To be honest, it wouldn't do much as the plate survived the shaped charge which is a far more penetrating test. We can def try adding it to the testing though.

[@PolynesianSaus]

M193 from a 20” barrel only works against level III steel plates, from all the testing I’ve seen. UHWMPE, and especially if it has a ceramic strike face, defeats lead core rounds pretty easily.

[@billgazza400]

We shoot everything with a 20" barrel from 10 Feet

It doesn't matter if it will stop a 12.7, 14.5 or even 20 mm shell. Even with uber comfort pad, you will have a terrible day:]

[@einfisch3891]

frankly, if I were to get hit in the chest with a 20mm I think I would be wishing it had penetrated the armor.

[@oberstwilhelmklink8256]

Cool channel but the shape charge test wasn’t that good in my opinion. Shape charges are supposed to have a gap between the object that you want to destroy and the charge

[@meriweatherlewis6298]

The shaped charge was likely to close to plate, so there probably wasn’t enough stand off distance, therefore; the jet didn’t have enough time/distance to fully form before impacting the plate.

body armor doesn't necessarily keep you from getting shot, since depending on it's weight it negatively impacts agility and manouverability. but it does help keep you from getting perforated.

308 hollow points might be dangerous to ceramic, but against steel they are near useless.

Is the "liquid binary explosive" legal to sell like "Tannerite" is?

[@brysonbermes1264]

Yes. You must have a federal explosives license tho. And live near a texas machine gun and ordanance depot

[@OrdnanceLab]

As an unmixed kit, yes they would be legal to sell to someone without an FEL in the same manner that Tannerite is. But once they're mixed, they fall under the same laws and regulations as any other explosive materials. Unlike Tannerite, the issue you would have with them is getting it to go off, as it's a very stable explosive that needs quite a thump to detonate. To get reliable detonation, we have a boost our caps with detcord.

[@TheFish711]

“Anybody and their brother’s got a .50 cal” if they’re that common then that’s why you should test it 😂. Frags are cool and all but between the shockwave and multidirectional shrapnel a single plate isn’t going to do all that much when the rest of your body looks like Swiss cheese. The plate being able to stop a .50 is more impressive since it’s a greater mass, spear point, and going as fast as grenade’s shrapnel. Overall, not really the most practical test, though I’m fairly certain you guys just wanted an excuse to blow stuff up lol 😂 which to be fair is great content for youtube.

[@agermangoose4797]
