Was about to make this same comment.

I can already hear Shad screaming in the distance

It’s the same concept as a cutting glove. Which are chainmail and used to protect from, cutting. Lol

Not only that but copper.... Jot a great material for it. Steel, sure. Soft metals? Eh, looks nice, but not exactly effective.

Tons of people at my work have to wear them daily because they're using really sharp knives all day. (pork processing plant.)

That isn't why mail was abandoned... Mail fell out of popularity much earlier than the advent of firearms. Mail is just very expensive to make compared to plate. The plague in 1350 killed a significant portion of the workforce, and mail became even more expensive to make. At the same time, water powered hammers came into use, which drove costs for plate armour down. A breastplate could be made within 6 hours. A mail hauberk or haubergeon will take 20 to 30 times as many hours. Mail is also less protective against thrusts, which are one of the primary dangers on the battlefield (missiles and lances). Mail relies on stopping the attack, rather than deflecting it like breastplates do. Breastplates also allowed the fitting of a lance rest, which drastically increased the power of shock cavalry. The combination of all these things caused mail to fell out of favor. It was still used to protect areas that couldn't be protected by plate for another hundred years though.

@@joost1120 Wasn't main the cheaper option actually? Like it was possible for common soldiers to buy chainmail because full plate armor was VERY expensive? Chainmail wasnt the cheapest option for armor but it wasn't that expensive. But yes, firearms were most of reason why old armor was phased out.

It wasn't a fair showing though. Chainmail wasn't used to stop blunt attacks like that. It was to protect from slashes and shit from swords. Honestly I feel bad for the guy who made it. Felt super disrespectful the way he treated that dudes absurd amount of hard and beautiful work. I know he went it in willingly, but he broke the shit out of it with irrelevant shit before even shooting it and even threw it away to the side after. It was literally like a piece of art. Poor dude.

that was more linear growth if anything

If people can't have a conversation about medieval armor at a party I'm not super interested frankly.

He is right though chain armor was made to protect from slashing sword blows. It was virtually useless against pointy things like arrows and spears. edit: A lot of people have been telling me that my comment is factually incorrect, so sorry.

I’ve got a piece about 6”x8” made of steel wire that was supposed to be a hood. That’s as far as I made it when I realized I was never gonna finish. Lol. Pretty easy to get started, pretty hard to follow through.

Do you think they actually made it, or just bought it at a renaissance festival or something lol

I personally think that it qould be more expensive to buy it than make it.

If you don't rivet it it's not even worth making it

DORK ALERT!!!

Depends I'd the rings are riveted or not. Most modern recreations are butted or split. Riveted are much stronger.

@@tymorgan92 plus it was never made from copper (or bronze because they both suck for that purpose) always wrought iron or steel.

Did you just say ‘whilst?’ 🤣🤣 of COURSE you know all about chain mail

@@robdubent that seems to be more of a millennial+hipster thing. Not necessarily a medieval weapons expert.

Excellent workmanship. Ive made stuff from cooper rings before and can appreciate the time and effort.

It was kind of disheartening to see considering some one spent years making it

​@LabRat Knatz it was actually made by a fan, not some company, so it was in fact quite the effort. However, the creator* responded to some other comment claiming he doesn't mind the destruction, as he didn't really have a use for the mail after he was done with it. *I, of course, have no way of verifying if that was actually the maker of the shirt or just an imposter. That being said, if you send something to Matt and tell him to test it's effectiveness as armor, you shouldn't be surprised if it gets obliterated. So whether or not that guy really was the guy who made the mail, the creator likely did expect this outcome.

💯 dude

Fo sho!

Not to mention how well his intros are everytime lmao. Most people use the exact same intro for years, Matt has a new idea for every single intro, and they're always hilarious.

I agree man, always good content!

True without some sort of padding the rings would just dig in to you. That however is nowhere close to proper mail. Copper is very soft and easily punctured by something like the tomahawk so it’s not the right material. Material choice aside it should still be able to turn a blade and prevent cuts. I think its biggest weakness is that it is likely butted mail, where the ring is just pinched together, nowhere near functional and can be ripped apart with your hands. Real mail would be made of flatter rings with the rings alternating between being a solid ring and one that is riveted together so lighter and much stronger.

Usually you would wear a gambeson or some sort of padded vest under your chainmail. It makes it more comfortable to wear and should give more protection.

You’re correct. Arrowtips for example can poke through the rings and the gambeson will keep them from poking you

@@thealpaca8hay I thought it was typically worn over some type of padded clothing. Wasn't sure of the name though, thanks for the info 👍

@@natelax1367 it actually depends on the type of head you’re shooting, the weight of the shaft, and if the head is quenched/tempered or not

Same!

exactly same here! he actually sent something in that’s of commercial quality that he produced himself.

As someone who has looked into dragon scale and *exactly* why it failed, I'm not sure this would be better. It might even be worse. The main reason dragon scale failed was because the glue they were using to hold it together didn't work in adverse conditions... Spectra actually has the same problem (though different conditions, the ones it has problems with are just as likely.) Plus I'm not sure how well a woven approach would work.

@@SirSpence99 Thanks for the info, I’ve always heard of dragon skin in a glorifying light and that it’s this flawless design but never hear about the flaws in it’s design. i still am impressed that someone put in that much effort tho.

@@nollie_ollie8358 To be fair, I did it for business reasons. The entire situation was pretty nuts actually. Basically, the military got a hold of the armor, did some testing, it failed *all* of their adverse conditions tests (temp test, chemical test a couple others, conditions they expect the average armor to experience) so they passed that around and told soldiers that the armor failed their tests. The company that made dragonscale got a hold of this and decided to go to the press and talk about how the military designed tests to make their armor fail. Then, in retaliation the army released the test results that showed not only had they done a more than fair test, the armor was dangerous for civilian use. They also at that point changed internal rules to prevent soldiers from using non-certified armor. Then, for some strange reason, the company that made dragonscale was sold three times within the next 2 years and from what I can tell, the patent was allowed to expire.

I agree, that’s a lot of work

He's shot air tanks in the past...I think a compressor too, but I distinctly remember the air tanks.

how many buckets will stop a bullet?

@@jacobkrout1627 that’s a question only Matt could answer

Is it "sealant" or closer to "thermal paint" for roofing? Personally haven't played with that specifically, but I did have a guy try to use buckets of thermal paint as cheap caulking for nails. Might have worked if it had been applied like paint, but didn't do chit when dabbed like caulking. I make the comparison because the thermal stuff seemed more like slightly thick latex paint rather than a "sealant" of any kind. Regardless, that stuff seemed like more of the outer coat on a hard plate armor. Might have caught some extra particles but not stopping squat. Might have been a good material for a top coat on the mask?

@@outcast170 I guess that depends how you use it. It’s sold as a sealant and actually some places consider a coating a new roof.. I rarely ever use them because I really don’t have any faith. I’ve used them and had success on a low scale. But I think if it was thick enough in between hard layers it could be effect in stopping catch the broken bullet.

DORK ALERT!!!

In real chainmail the links are also riveted not just bend which keeps them from opening ..... and they are made of steel but you know

Chainmail will never work as any kind of body armor. The person that made it should be very ashamed.

@@Asbitos agreed

@@robertsears8323 it has worked for hundreds of years. Just because wearing the particular vest in the video would be worse than wearing nothing because it is dead weight for no protection does not mean chain mail does not work. That copper “mail” can be ripped apart by hand because the links are simply pinched together. Real mail would have been made out of iron or steel, using alternating flatter solid and riveted rings so lighter and much stronger. Real mail prevents cutting, therefore it is effective armour even to this day. Yes you are still vulnerable to blunt force and things that have a particularly vicious point and obviously bullets but it would still be more protective in a modern knife attack than anything we have today. Yes you are not invulnerable even in real mail, but no armour makes you invulnerable. Is a plate carrier useless because you can be shot in the head?

Also, copper isn't really a good idea for a chain mail

Copper links were the biggest issue with it. I've worn, partied, and fought in a variety of mail and can assure you that that's party mail. It's very pretty and he did great work but I wouldn't wear it even in a rattan stick fight. All that said, I would love to see some actual mail make it out to Matt

@@Lithui Todds workshop maille?

Problem with ringmail is they dont have any resistance to impact injury, due to their extreme flexibility. Sure that dull broadsword didnt slice through the ringmail, but the death by internal bleeding when your organs rupture and go into shock will still get you. There isnt a weave or material you can make it out of and survive the concussive impact of even a 308 round.

@@wendiplays Bruh a sword isn't going to rupture your organs. Mail is flexible, but vastly less flexible than normal fabric. It will definitely take some of the punch out of it. Not to mention you're likely not going to be wearing mail on it's own. You're likely wearing some form of textile armour over the mail, which will distribute the force over a much larger area. You'll be fine. If you don't believe me, just take a look at any medievel reenactment. Those swords are blunt, but still carry the same energy as a sharp one. In fact, they're generally a fair bit heavier. Reenactors would be dead if their organs ruptured upon being hit.

Your English wasn't bad at all! The few things that could be corrected are: "even just an airsoft gun could send you TO jail..." "that I'm not the only demoranch FAN in Indonesia..."

@@robertsears8323 you're clearly a sad, bitter, cynical, myopic, and likely extremely bored person. Taking it out on KZfaq comments, where you have a sense of perceived "anonymity", although anyone with the time and a little bit of internet research (assuming in this day and age they even need it) could quite easily find your I.P address and therefore you. It's not only foolish on your part, it's futile. If your ego is that fragile, go see a therapist. The point wasn't whether or not it worked. The maker knew it wouldn't. He said as much in the other comment thread you ... Interestingly didn't respond to thereafter. 🤔 the point that everyone else who replied to you, has tried to make, is that he took his time to make it entirely by hand. Even if it means nothing to you, labor pays peoples bills. And labor done in one's free time, specifically that which takes any notable amount or sort of time and effort/focus/determination/motivation, is worth commending given the fact that most people don't. It's extraordinary to see something handcrafted by a singular normal person in the day of automation and rampant consumerism. Just because you can't or are too lazy to do anything worthwhile, or maybe just bitter that you perhaps made an entry that wasn't accepted... Doesn't make it at all rational to attempt to tear someone else down.
