Cheap Medieval Weapons vs. Modern Armor

Cheap Medieval Weapons vs. Modern Armor - Skall Reacts to

Barely half a day after these medieval arms vs. kevlar armor shenanigans appeared on the Kentucky Ballistics channel people were already bombarding me with requests to make a response video. So here you go, literally as quickly as I was able to. :)
Tests like that are always a blast, and this is no exception. Some of those "reproductions" though... yikes. That mace in particular... I've never seen a flanged mace so weirdly cobbled together. The spikey military flail was interesting though.

The thing is while force of impact is Mass x Velocity squared, speed doesn't maintain power the way mass dose, think about a 6ft speed boat hitting a pier at 60 MPH compared to a 50,000 tone tanker at 5 MPH, modern armour is designed to stop a relatively light projectile at EXTREAMLY high speed, while old armour is designed to protect against high mass at low speed, neither is better or worse, just built to protect against different threats.

The steel seems to be decent spring steel judging from the flex during the thrust.

@@eliabeck689 Yeah! So it was kind of the players' fault tho. My friend was having a turn of being the DM and all of us played League of Legends so we did a one shot at lvl 15 in Runeterra. We were tasked with stopping a person from opening portals into the void and causing void creatures to attack nearby settlements. We players deduced it was Malzahar and were asking the DM questions like "What patch is this on?" or "Has Malz gotten his rework yet?" So the DM made us take mental damage every time we broke the 4th wall. Eventually it became a running joke that if you question the DM at all, you take 1d4 mental damage. This is different from psychic damage because the characters in game take psychic damage. This was damage the player "took" outside the game and it translated to the unfortunate character who "hurt themselves in their confusion" like Pokémon.

The thing about soft armor is that it doesn't technically stop bullets, it catches them. If a high powered bullet hits soft armor (or even some plates) even if it doesn't break through the armor it will push the armor's material through the target.

Just wanted to say thank you for a quality video! I'm a big Kentucky Ballistics fan, and a medieval and fantasy nerd. I was anxious about watching this as i feared you might lamblast him for his ignorance of the weaponry or his tomfoolery video style, but you did NONE of that, and i appreciate that. You kept the video on point and highly entertaining! Fantastic content my guy!

Quality commentary! He cuts to his own footage to help futher their points in the video. Instead of relying on someone elses footage for the entire commentary

@Skallagrim Ай бұрын

Thanks. I think it's essential that a commentary / response / reaction video ADDS something, instead of just showing someone else's content and just making faces at it or whatever.

@AnotherDuck Ай бұрын

@@Skallagrim Absolutely. That's why I like your reaction videos. Metatron is also great at it. The thing about many reaction videos is exactly that they don't add anything other than a funny face (which may or may not be interesting in itself). They'd probably not pass a copyright claim for fair use to my understanding.

Great critique, Skal. A lot of people in this comment section don't seem to realize that Scott wasn't trying to be a legit Medieval Martial Artist. Kentucky Ballistics is more of a humorous channel, with Scott bringing out all types of firearms, from normal .22LR to absurdly huge "big game" rifles that could, probably, take out an Apache helicopter. It's a fun channel! Everyone should check it out.

@leichtmeister Ай бұрын

@matthewbartley2746 Ай бұрын

This is great, two of my favorite KZfaqrs in a single video. Couple things though PERHAPS... if a Normal Human was swining these things they wouldn't bend.. or maybe Skallagrim can advise Scott on some quality and reasonably priced real weapons so they don't bend when the biggest dude this side of Appalachia swings them. Seriously Scott is freaking huge.. his mediocre swing is still probably harder than anything I could do as I'm only 6 foot and just shy of 200 pounds. And yeah, maybe one day we can get a video of Skallagrim down in Kentucky testing out some firearms and Scot can swing some real weapons and then they can discuss their experiences and compare in real time. That's it.. Skallagrim and KentuckyBallistics collab.. who else wants this?

I also immediately recognized the poor quality of the weapons he is using and I knew that would also be a point of contention. I do agree with alot tof the people on here in thinking that a collaboration between you two would be a great video. Scott does alot of those types of videos.
