"if you used a modern weapon against ancient protection it wouldn't work" what a shocker

"if you shot a bullet at ancient armour, youll get kicked out the museum"

Plate armor was actually VERY good at stopping arrows. Hence the creation of the crossbow which was easier to use and had better penetrating power

Even the ancient armor is labeled as Zack 💀☠️

“IF YOuűúû-“ is the funniest thing ever.

Depends on the armor actually. Some armor was designed to deflect arrows and could effectively divert bullets as well, though it would have to be smaller calibers

Plate armor had NO problems stopping arrows

Ah yes "parry this you filty casual!"

Plate armour was extremely effective at stopping arrows and bolts from crossbows. Blunt weapons were best as a big hit to the head still caused a concussion, and could still dent the armour and make it awkward and uncomfortable to move in. You'd have to hit a gap in the armour with an arrow to do anything significant.

Props to the guy who went back in time with a gun to confirm this theory

Plate armour was incredible at stopping arrows lmao

Plate armor specialized in stopping arrows... crushing attacks were quite effective against plate as well.

In one of my favorite books, which takes place in the last 19th century, the villain regularly wears medieval-style chainmail and plate armor. Early on in the book, he is shot three times with a revolver at point blank range and isn't even injured, but at the end of the book is somewhat easily stabbed with a saber through the armor.

The bullet really said "ITS ABOUT DRIVE ITS ABOUT POWER!"

Reminder: Don’t forget to bring a gun to a knight fight

Honestly, it would probably depend more on the bullet used… arrows had a hell of a lot more mass than any bullet, which in turn increased the actual force exerted by the projectile, even though it may not move as fast as a bullet, and thus wouldn’t have the same piercing capability relative to something like flesh. But realistically, a 9mm or indeed most pistol rounds may be deflected by certain solid metal armors, depending on the thickness, ductility, etc.

Even the armor and shield are branded 😭💀😭💀😭💀😭💀😭💀😭💀💀😭😭💀😭💀

The moment he said "plate armor is better at deflecting strikes" he lost me 😂

"Some people think it could stop the impact" Meanwhile me having watched a fistful of dollars

Now I understand the use of the chain armor of Minecraft. 😅

“If you shot a bullet” right away!💀

Chain armour in real life: 😊 Chain armour in MC: 💀

Depends on which type of plate armor, there are infact several designs used in the late ages that can stop small caliber, they improved armor to protect against constantly improving crossbows

They actually did make breastplates that were able to withstand bullets. In fact, you’ll often find these breastplates with impact from a bullet on them. This was often done by the very smith who made it as a way to test his work. Granted, the damage that firearms could cause quickly outpaced the protective capacity of plate armor, but still.

Ancient armor ❎ ZACK .D FILMS armor✅

Right off the bat the use of "ancient" makes me sigh out loud

Armour is designed to stop arrows. An arrow would not go through plate armour unless very specific conditions are met 💀

It's not just energy, it's also the surface area. Because arrows and less surface area the energy was focused in a smaller point, thus having an easier time penetrating the target.

it’s like slapping water, flathand it spreads around and you can not really piece it but with a hand vertically it’s easy.

Plate harness is well known to stop arrows from penetrating.

Most plate armours could easily deflect any arrow from any distance. Bullets would have a hard time penetrating harness + chain mail + under garnment

"This is why people created bulets"

Respect to the people that tried this

Not to be the "Um, ackshually..." guy, but plate armor was actually pretty good at stopping arrows and other piercing weapons (to a degree. It would not come near to stopping a bullet), and measured quite terrible against blunt force trauma from maces, hammers and other such weapons

That's actually incorrect. The majority of plate armor was designed to also stop arrows, which were also accompanied by hardened leather, and chain mail unders. Which made it nearly impossible for an arrow to pass through.

Imagine chainmail and plate armour were worn at once = an ancient juggernaut

damn gorden lost his HEV suit

“Arrows can pierce plate armor” you know, i wonder why plate armor was made in the first place🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Here is an idea for the next video: *Secrets Inside Pyramids*

It depends on the kind of armor and the kind of weapon. They were still using plate armor in the era of muskets and pistols, they just changed the design to compensate for the new problems. There were also plate armor designs used in World War I and World War II which could stop bullets.

"Gordan doesn't need to hear all this. He's a highly trained professional!"

The armour of the Middle Age was huge masterpieces of engineering. It was designed to be strong enough to protect you again slices, heavy punches and stitches but keep the weight low as possible while also minimize the lost in maneuverability.

Arrows penetrate chainmail, yes. (You would have several layers underneath though) But plate armor deflected arrows easily. Since there’s no “flat” area for the arrow to go trough. Joints were vulnerable though but unlikely to get hit by arrows. That’s why they started using cannons and firearms. And even then smaller calibers and bullets were still deflected for a time or didn’t go trough. It’s only after mass production of firearms and increased accuracy that armors were abandoned.

The anime gate hilariously shows this exact situation

Not zack training time traveller's from past to change history 😅😂😂

never bring a gun to a sword fight

Bro is obsessed with guns

"we have new armor brands!" "like what?" "Zack D films💀"

Never make Zack a villain.

This video gives "I'm bored so imma spread harmless misinformation" vibes.

Designed to resist bullets ❌ Designed to resist swords ✅

Idk why this information felt so useful to me lol

1. Most arrows couldn’t penetrate armor however long bows and crossbows were exceptions.

Bro is entering his villain arc

He's labeling every thing like he owns it💀

And that’s exactly why we have bulletproof vests

Reminds me of the Key & Peele skit of the old guy wanting to buy a suit of armor for a bank robbery 😂😂😂😂

Plate armor stops all arrows and bolts. Plus plate armor can stop pistol caliber bullets. That's why some soviet soldiers in WW2 wore metal breastplate. But rifle bullets shoot right through

My man's cooked at the end😭☠️

The French knights had been real quiet since this one dropped...

Nahh the gnome gonna be happy with this💀💀💀

Research never went beyond Hollywood with this one

How to lose a battle: Use Zack D Films armor.

'En garde mate!' Pulls out a gun 'Wait, what the-'

But they weigh alot. I was at a museum in Stockholm Where they had knight armour and the hemmets were heavy as fuck

Ancient armor: "your version is out of date"

Bullet proof vest with chainmail 🗿

Back then I think chain armor was the best invention ever made. Hands down.

Chainmail was in fact incredibly good at deflecting arrows without specialized tips

Zack is now traumatizing ancient warriors

Bro can brand anything at this point 💀

Chain mail be looking like those shirts at the beauty supply💀💀✋🏻

Arrows do NOT pierce plate armor 😂

Put the chainmail on top, add a modern bullet proof vest in next layer, then add the full metal armour at the bottom layer. You got an impenetrable ultimate armour

"Don't bring gun in the medieval fight"

>deflecting strikes >animation of a puncture weapon made for plate

Time traveling me would say, "This my friend is called a pistol"

Never bring medieval armour to a gun fight

Once you go into the era where both guns and armor were a thing, armor makers were required to shoot their armor, and the mark was a “bullet proof” (that’s where that came from) so Armor from that period would 100% be able to stop a bullet

me: *gets teleport back in time to ancient age with a gun* "I'm about to become a king with this"

Bro looks traumatized 💀✋

This guy never ever runs out of ideas

They do stop arrows, you could even see videos testing it, plate armor is thick and is supposed to stop many weapons, they only stopped making it when guns appeared, they then invented the cuirass which actually stopped guns back in the time, they were tested, plate armor is very durable, and is very strong, the only way it could be penetrated by arrows is by the small little gaps, which were very hard to shoot at, because plate armor has barely any gaps, and sometimes it could stop bullets like 9mm, and many other weak types, the only “plate” armor that can’t stop arrows are the cosplay non historically accurate ones, and of course ancient armor wouldn’t be able to stop a bullet, but in some cases plate armor has been able to stop bullets, and most knights with plate armor, mostly had a shield with them, that could also stop arrows, this video is probably one of the most biased thing I’ve ever seen about armor, if its able to stop blunt force weapons, and swords, it could easily stop a arrow, because it deflects off of it, even tanks use similar stuff like this, it deflects bullets, and the weirdest part about this animation, is that the plate armor is literally curved, which arrows cannot shoot at, which makes absolutely no sense, imagine shooting a arrow at a metal refrigerator, what would happen? And what else would happened if it was curved, hard and curved armor was way more than enough to stop arrows, and remember that short about plate carriers stopping bullets but still having pain? That’s kinda like plate armor, but it was designed to not make the user feel any, but blunt force only did that, and seeing arrows pierce through rounded objects hurts my brain.

First second or two, he sounded like matpat, and it had me trippin’. “If You-“

Fellow gnomes we should wear chain mail armor so we don't get hurt by those pretty nights

Bro went back in time to put his name onto the shields 💀

minecraft netherite armor be like: Nah I'd win

Zack left bro with 0% Alive and just walk away to dont make a trouble or deal with his single wife with 10 kids😭😭👌🏻

Tewksbury been real quiet since this dropped

My army wears this and now I'm even more concerned for my men.

"So which armor you were using back then" "Zack D Films💀"

Zack lowkey telling his haters to pimp down

This is why slashing, bludgeoning and piercing are damage types

Zack never run out of ideas💀
