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.

@@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.

Hilarious how Scott is so strong he can just use any weapon as a blunt force weapon Imagine untrained Scott with a cheap mace TOWERING over your average medieval knight. He'd possibly get killed for no technique but the size and strength disparity is just hilarious and frightening to think about

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. We've seen this happen on some of Scott's 4-bore videos.

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.

I knew that one of you guys would make a video about this when I watched it the other day! I watch KB all the time and while he is indeed an "expert" with fire arms, he has zero experience with these types of weapons and his technique shows it. 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.
