i am upset that i could not find a followup video to this... its been 2 years..

no follow up on the barrel test for body armor?

i was expecting some medieval armor but as soon as i heard rifle round i was like awww that kind of armor... welp thanks for the video anyway

"Look out, honey he's got a gun!!" "Don't worry, sweetheart. HOT GLUE" lol

Thank you for showing your mistakes so we can all learn

So my guess is that there is no part 2 after 2 years because it didn't work as planned

Please dont melt plastic in your personal oven. This can release fumes that will leach into your food overtime

Did you finally shoot it? What are the results?

Awesome to see you're making more homemade armor! Looking forward to the test. From my experience, the tile works best as the strike face on the front rather than the catch on the back. Really curious to see how it works out for you!

Yesssssssss🤩🤩😎😎 I was wondering when you would be posting a new video Sir. Love the overall plan but like you said unfortunately the shape didn't quite stay the same, but well done, really well done. 👍😉💪

Best I've seen so far is melt plastic between fiberglass or kevlar sheets with two layers if ceramic tile in front and tiles distroy bullet then obsorbed by plastic . Iff everything is melted together with plastic no need for glues

To avoid the flintstone look, make the first cuts larger and then trim after melt.

Just started but it could be cool to set the tiles into softened plastic so that they are thermoset into the face of the plastic

Sad to not see part 2 :(

Show the shooting part

Where’s the test video?!?!?

History of the World part 1

How did it hold up

Where r the results/part2 ???

nice video just found and i subbed

soooo follow up video?

A few notes, because I like how you’re combining defensive tactics to defeat both force and penetration - 1) there should be a hard layer (even if just a thin layer of steel) in front of the UHDWPE layer. This is to heat and slow the round simultaneously. This should dramatically increase the efficiency of the UHDWPE layer since it will begin melting before the projectile arrives, and hopefully begin hardening and gripping the projectile before it’s done penetrating that plate ideally. 2. I think the weird shapes and ridges on those barrels you use are weakening the structure of the UHDWPE unless you’re using a hydraulic press to shape them. You’d spend less money buying commercial cutting boards. 3. In order to also increase the effectiveness of The UHDWPE, it may be a good idea to use a combination of Fiberglass sheets, silk, and or Kevlar sheets (alternating thread directions) and sealing with epoxy). It would probably work best with these cloths epoxied on the front and back of the UHDWPE layer because of the basic physics principle... well... I won’t go there. Just suffice it to say: coating both sides of even the weakest material will cause it to adopt the tensile strength of the added outer layers to a remarkable degree. This would also help with bonding the UHDWPE to the back panel. 3. Speaking of the back panel... everyone has their own opinion. You could try the ceramic array if you are liking it - but the weight and possibility for sparring are a little bit... meh. Idk. But EITHER WAY: you would most likely want to experiment with a trauma pad behind it. This way when testing, you aren’t having problems with your mannequin breaking all their fake ribs or getting chunks of ceramic embedded in their plastic skin - even if there isn’t penetration perse Edit: the more I think about it, I think I would personally move your array of tile to the front (increased chance of tumbling, increasing surface area when hitting the fiber/epoxy coated UHDWPE, making it proportionally more effective as a secondary layer), then after the other layers of weave I would save the steel and trauma pad for last. To clarify: I’m not giving advice. I don’t recommend trying it. Sounds like a pain. It’s just what I would personally do if I had a channel dedicated to it 😂

So ... how did the armor hold up ?

You must be extremely capable to be able to come up with that and execute it. That’s proper science right there. But that wooden board tho. That shits toxic and obsolete now my man hahaha

damn i was really into this experiment. :(

Was the test ever done?

...there is something to be learned from failures. I wish at least one creator would put Chrono just before and after, to show speed reductions, with 1" HDPE, tiles, 1"computer paper, 1"aluminum plate, and also 1" fibreglass.maybe even just air.

part 2?

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnice

thanks for showing this idea of making bulletproof materials‼️ my friends and relatives in Ukraine fighting for their country and their families with strongest and dangerous aggressor in the world we looking for every way to help them save lives if you can please help to develop level 3+ level 4 improvised DIY step by step method to make SAPI plates for our patriots and civilians in Ukraine easy made stand alone plate has to withstand against 7.62×39 LPS Mid Steel Core and 7.62×54R LPS Mid Steel Core rounds which Russian army troops commonly uses in general it equals 30-06 rounds but have some specifics such as a small steel penetrators inside bullets in the middle ...

Video... the shooting test.. that's the payoff. Madness to not show the darn test! It's the difference between a 100 views and a million.
