Testing Captain America's Shield for SELF DEFENSE

[@SenseiSeth]

Here’s the Captain America Shield I was using amzn.to/3idj7EP

[@djfox5955]

Is this going to be a series like superhero offensive and defensive weapons?

[@SenseiSeth]

sure hope so! Depends how the video does

[@djfox5955]

Batman's equipment would be interesting because alot could be available in real world.

[@SenseiSeth]

Would be quite cool

[@RenzDavis]

How many times did Mike ask about firearms and crossbow test?

[@JoshMorgan0211]

Watching you two just do silly things together is one of the most wholesome things on KZbin and makes for fantastic coffee break viewing.

this.

[@Pikepaw]

Hahaha I am rewatching this on my coffee break. I feel Sensei Seth and IcyMike just amplify each other’s inner child. Individually, they are kinda silly but able to talk seriously about martial arts topics. When you put them together, they are just two giant goofballs who play with toys

There were no shields like this in history. Metal shields were never a thing. Shields were made of wood and covered by some material such as linen, sinew, or rawhide.

[@sephy980]

@@KurNorock I think a few were? but they definitely weren't commonplace. most bucklers were metal i believe, but obviously they are small, which negates most of the weight problem metal brings.

hahah thanks bud

[@Kadranos]

Get one made from UHMWPE about 1" thick, add some padding for the arm (historical shields did) and it should stop most handgun rounds and make an incredible home defense weapon. Imagine charging a home invader with that the laying into them with the edge. Absolutely brutal. And probably terrifying for all parties involved.

[@noahpartic7586]

I wanna see such a thing ye mentioned.

[@deansmith3237]

This has my vote as well! Definitely gotta see if Seth is worthy!

A bit of foam with adhesive spray over those bolts will keep them from digging into your arm. You can also use leather to be more aesthetic, but you'll need to use the right glue to keep it in place for long

I really want to see you review more shields for defence,it is my favourite weapon,other than being very useful at what it do. Try with a kite shield next time,or a ballistic one,or an aspis.

[@Joru0906]

I love that you guys are making videos together now, you should make a channel with you two.

[@Night-Jester]

I love this video and rewatch it a lot. The part where Icy Mike played along and returned your shield was great. Also I think the shield is cooler with all the battle scars.

[@nunninkav]

When they tested the spartan shield on Deadliest Warrior, it was the highest shock recorded from all the blunt weapons. It was top of the chart. So offensively that is what a real shield clocks in at.

[@simonyu8838]

So the first few phase were testing if a shield works as a shield

[@benjaminpujols1914]

If they would have made it better like all steel and a little bit protected with some type of cushioning on the inside for you the holder then it would have been a lot better but that still looks pretty awesome I'm a huge Captain America fan so was my dad I love the video I definitely enjoyed it it looked a lot of fun looks like you guys are always having fun it would be great to hang with you guys one day and just do all sorts of stuff you guys remind me of my old friends when I was a kid we would do things like this nothing plan just simply got bored decided to go have fun and mimic some movies and it was always exciting and fun I miss those days and you guys are bringing back a lot of good memories thank you☺☺

[@blaxican]

Very entertaining. But, the scene in the film "Showdown in Little Tokyo" where Dolph Lundgren's character lifts a car up to block bullets was so badass, that it made Captain America's shield look like a kite. There's an idea for your video: lifting a car up with your bare hands. Why? It would look badass.

[@mike393000]

Loved the video! You guys are like best friends now! As a captain America fan I truly enjoyed this childhood dream play episode on your channel! I've been wanting to buy one of these. Great watch while I worked out!

6:08 Toph, as the Melon Lord: *Our battle will be legendary*

[@johnn1250]

This sort of reminds me of the Spartan episode of Deadliest Warrior on Spiketv back in the day. Basically the spartan shield was the ultimate defense to any attack.

[@SwordTune]

Seth COULD have bought a normal shield that didn't clank around, but this is much more entertaining.

[@SenseiSeth]

and wayyyyy less expensive lol

[@WarlordFlanker]

Protip, pad out the inside of your shield for your arm/hand and you can go ham worry-free. Ive seen shield punch knockouts through helms even.

[@noahpartic7586]

That particular used here was made more for decoration than actual combat, as the puncture wounds shown on it. If such were made for Law Enforcement materials & don't forget padding for the arm (Crazy important), crazy strong straps & fasteners (ESPECIALLY Crazy important). It would be nice to wear it on 1's back like in the comics when not in use. Good to see though. Keep doing what you do.

[@IsaacLausell]

This was awesome. Hands down my favorite KZbin videos Sensei Seth + Icy Mike!

[@ignaciovitale7806]

Your videos are getting more and more awesome, and now become a form of pure happiness to me. Also, if you could get toghether all the crazy things you have done in the videos, you can have your own show like American Ninja Warrior, or fight crime in a very cool way.

[@alexthegordonhighlander1159]

Now this is entertainment! Hero’s and icy villains!

[@charlescollier7217]

Best part is how the shield returned to you after the decapitation. I mean, it was so relentless, it dragged Mike along with it.

[@herrdrizzt9547]

As an HMB fighter, i do believe that making durable straps is million times easier then manufacturing a shield itself. Especially when you want it to be as robust and have a reasonable weight and balance. Can't forget that this particular shape stayed practical and demanded literally from antiquity up to early modern period. So it was not a bad purchase. It's just sometimes things aren't ready from the box.

[@AeolethNionian]

You could take a drill with titanium bits and drill holes in it and use carriage bolts and/ or rivets to put better/ more secure strapping on the back

[@kingofgufi]

That was Great! Please I wanna see you in chubbernaughs armor + shield! The ultimate hero!!!

[@sinarad6053]

I don't know about this specific shield, as I don't know what alloy it is made of, or anything, but shields have been used for thousands of years to stop all types of weapon (from swords and arrows to battleaxes and warhammers) so they are pretty effective at it. And that's considering the fact that most of them were built of wood, and occasionally covered with thin layers of other metal alloys or leather.

[@KamalaKackles]

Okay, this was a cool video. Thanks guys!!

[@Markperna1]

I don’t know how familiar you are with Monty Python but when you used it to defend yourself against fresh fruit, I almost lost it. Great video! You guys would be great fun to hang out with.

[@asa-punkatsouthvinland7145]

Captain America shield is basically like a Renaissance Italian rotella. We see them in period manuscripts being used with rapiers and side-swords. They were certainly used for self-defense back in the day but of course back in the day situations were very different from today; if nothing else nowadays people don't walk around wearing swords. That being said that Captain America shield is not constructed the way of rotella would be. You have screws that dug into your arms a proper rotella would have riveted on straps that would be hammered flat so they wouldn't dig in like that also they often had a padding kind of pillow between the shield and your arm to help absorb blows & not hurt your arm. Walla rotella works well against swords or daggers I think in the modern world it's too lightweight. It certainly wouldn't stop bullets, it's easy to grab, not great for striking with & inconvenient to carry. I think the plastic buckler by Cold steel that Mike tested is a far better self-defense shield for the modern situation.

[@b.h.abbott-motley2427]

Rotellas/rodelas stopped (some) bullets in the 16th century. Martín de Eguiluz wrote that a good steel rodela provided sufficient protection against arquebus shots while musket shots would blow through both shield & breastplate. Of course, firearms have come a long way since then. I wouldn't be surprised in Renaissance steel rodelas/rotellas could stop certain pistol rounds.

the "battle scar" makes it more cooler

[@mcgarry2588]

OK that was pretty funny. Nice vid. The cold steel "Targe" is a cheaper alternative. It can also be quickly picked up do to a center grip.

[@SenseiSeth]

Targe? I’ll look intonit

[@seanwillis8745]

Yo Seth, if you and Mike like the idea of shields, you should explore the idea of a center grip shield without straps like the Vikings used, there isn't as much shock going into the bones of the arm, and if made correctly can be more durable with cheaper material because of your arm acting as a spring to absorb the shock rather than just eating the shock in your humerus
