I build catapults. I have one that has the same power as your cannon. I have been talking in groups about what a catapult impact would do to plate armor. We don't have the speed to shatter it like that, but I knew it would drive the armor right through a body.

[@luchs2907]

It would be cool to see a body armor test against some of the older AP rounds, like the WW1 8x57 smk for example, to see how they compete against modern armor

[@TheDenofBadgers]

I have seen early world war 2 German FMJ ammo punch through half inch stainless plages at 60 yards so maybe it will dent or punch through armor

[@luchs2907]

like if they got a bunch of rifles and rounds together to see which one is the best

[@Papperlapappmaul]

It would probably be just as effective as modern AP rounds. You really just have to put a piece of hardened steel or tungsten in a projectile and you're good to go. Drill a hole in a 10 gauge slug, epoxy a piece of a drill shaft into it and you got yourself a very potent AP round.

[@aries_9130]

Check out InRange TV, if I remember correctly, Ian and Karl tested 8x57 and 7.62x54R explosive rounds against armor. Sure, explosive != AP, but you get the idea.

[@rodrigjose]

Marines use the 37 mm round during the battle of guadalcanal " But a Japanese counterattack was already in the making. Shortly after midnight on Aug. 19, 917 soldiers of Col. Kiyonao Ichiki’s 28th Infantry Regiment landed 22 miles east of Henderson Field and began the westward trek toward the mouth of the Lunga. Tipped-off that a Japanese force was approaching, the Marines were ready behind defensive positions just west of Henderson Field near the mouth of the Ilu River, which they nicknamed Alligator Creek. Two battalions of the 1st Marine Regiment were waiting when Col. Ichiki’s detachment reached their positions shortly after midnight on Aug. 21. The Japanese walked into a wall of fire at the sandbar near the mouth of the river, and that fire was produced by a pair of 37 mm anti-tank guns firing canister rounds."

The big difference is that modern artillery use HE rounds. You REALLY don't want to get hit with a 37mm high explosive fragmentation round (though would certainly not be around to contest the issue). There are accounts from WW1 of bits of people in one dugout landing in the other side's trenches from the really big rounds (155mm and up)

[@linkxsc]

Eeh thats a tough one, as during that era, you'd have had both bronze and iron in decent supply.

Thanks for the video! Your channel is SO much fun!

[@zyzor]

I’d love to see a 20mm Anti-aircraft round against the plate

[@VoidHxnter]

Zyzor it would probably just go straight through, leaving a hole the width of the bullet, since it’s meant to penetrate very, very thick metal. The body armor is just maybe 5-10 mm thick.

[@AuntySlayer3000]

put a pipebomb in ballistic bob for a final send off.

[@TheMarmeladian]

I second that!

[@TheMarmeladian]

Slomo

[@joshhutchins7968]

Or tannerite

[@StrikeEagle713]

DetCord would be far better

[@joe125ful]

C4:) boom..

[@StudleyDuderight]

So I assume the next step is to find a may to mitigate the force applied to the body. This is the beginning of a whole new level of "hold my beer and watch this" goodness.

[@ForCookiesSub]

Damn, Martini-Henry is in Battlefield 1 !!

[@TheReid1233]

ForCookiesSub no its from around world war 1 but I guess 100 years isn't to far off?

[@admiralboot]

Reid Woodman that was literally exactly 100 years ago.

[@meatballman4120]

ForCookiesSub yeah the rank 10 scout primary with a 1 bullet mag

[@Etaiin]

Now it sucks 😞

[@azgarogly]

I imagine the lead splattering around the plate would hurt the target arms pretty bad. Could You put some ballistic blocks to the sides to see how bad the spatter is?

[@martingarricks6209]

No

[@joni7fi]

Thats why there is the spalling, thats the black rubber coating on top of the steel plate, it catches all the shrapnel! :)

[@azgarogly]

Joni Lepa As We have seen in the video, it does not :)

[@joni7fi]

Yeah well not in this case x) too much lead, as you probably know that these armors are made for modern bullets which make so much less shrapnel than these huge lead blobs :D

[@azgarogly]

Joni Lepa indeed

[@Boond41]

The cannon shot looks like a magic trick. One moment there is a gel body and a table on its side, the next - a table right side up and no body :D

[@Ratel777]

Great test! Greetings from Poland! 😊

[@garmdianmelonking5211]

The lesson of the day kids it if your going to shoot a guy with body Armour use a cannon!

[@floydskyfire]

you guys really have such an interesting channel. Super entertaining and super informing. You guys keep up the great work.

[@colecopeland7934]

Seth Rogen if he was born in the South

[@schnitzelvonlichenmenutz3204]

Cole Copeland - that’s damn hiliarious xddd

[@doodlegoose2262]

Cole Copeland don’t insult this man like that

[@BarryMcckockener5456]

You should be using it at 30-80 meters to get that 1 shot kill

[@joegibbs3222]

Thought it was a commercial, wanted to see a good ol 2-bore shoot that thing. Then came the cannon, completely satisfied - wow.

[@XxY0uMadbr0xXSalazar]

His freaking laugh OMFG XD . . . Just ugh . . I cant stop Laughing Man, love you mate ♡

[@29Epicness]

Are those rifles not loud, or did you just not wear ear protection?

[@The_Osprey]

He had really small dark colored ear plugs in.

[@29Epicness]

Oh ok, thats what I was also thinking he may have.

[@Xtorin_Housecat_Ohern]

probably wearing very small in ear protection

[@bassamaann]

he just didn't wear eat protection bc I've fired black powder and this things are loud, but tbh you should really wear hearing protection when useing any firearm, even a 22

[@oscarfloyd2678]

Some of the lower grain 22 is pretty quite. Even though wearing hearing protection is best, sometimes I have to not wear it just to make sure the round actually fired. I mean, the hammer is the only thing I sometimes hear while wearing protection

[@Midway_CV-41]

Like for the table Went from on the ground to standing up Magic

[@comi4723]

the devs gotta nerf dat armor
