Thanks for the kind words brother. Lets pray that it leads somewhere. Honestly, I wouldn't mind just building and testing this stuff full time for a living, maybe one day.

Would of watched this sooner instead of eight days later if I'd known it got posted. Ya, great idea with the folding circle, pretty sweet.??? I'm thinking, although some of the nicer kevlars can be more expensive at about at least $70-$80 a yard or maybe a little more I think?, or at least wanting to test at least one with that, lol?, I might be more likely to test some ballistic nylon at about $20-$25 a yard, and hopefully test close to as good as the kevlar?, maybe some more duck tape??? Might be a little harder to incorporate a good strike face like ceramic or rocks, or fake rubies and sapphires, like the sapphire company that tested well on demolition ranch?, with the metal backing like I usually like with the folding, or with some possible good armor scale designs. It definitely looks marketable, I think I should get the military shield contract cuz I'm a lionen with lionentech though. And I'm gonna hopefully have a great time making my truncated cylinder steel shield lance with less area at the forge, although it's not as often that I watch a video of an american shooting a lock off a house instead of bashing it in ukraine but I have seen it, and hopefully finish it in less than forty years, lol. Or maybe some carbon fiber on the outside, like the futuristic shoulder gaurd or vambraces videos, which I'm not sure if it would stop .44 long barrel either, and not the most ballistic wave protection without metal, with hopefully not getting shot by 50 bmgs anyway? But I'm setting new personal bests with my exercises every other week, and I'm really liking my blue and gold katana, and hard headed veteran helmet as a pretty good helmet, even without the $1600 monocle. Not that many people often consider the amount of organizing and business partnerships, with fake sapphire makers, rocks like a rock crab, or ceramic, tailors, after smithing all of the metal plates or machining the aluminum 7075 bracers and greaves of course most likely that can go into a set of well made armor, and possibly more attention to detail with scales that don't always fit in the typical format of making profit while thinking like a rock crab.

That’s not a good idea

Just need the financing lol

Thank you! More to come soon, gotta get the jeep going and finished.

@@Techthisoutmeow can't wait.

Agreed

One of their full size models called SHARK is 28,7x19,7x1,2 inches (73x50x3cm) and weighs around 20,9 pounds (9,5kg) with all the cutouts.

HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP

Honestly, that's a nice simple solution that I hadn't considered! Thanks for the suggestion!

@@Techthisoutmeow i stole the idea from silver-age batman. He needs to expose his mouth in his costume to emote, and his costume is unpowered unlike Lex's mech suit so it has to be light and flexable. But all of the Rogues gallery love their submachine guns. So Batman's solution is an all black costume with a prominent high contrast yellow bat symbol on the most heavily armoured part of his chest plate to encourage bad guys to target that and not his armpit or brain stem. An equivalent for this shield would be to paint the shield all black including the hinges and then put a white dot in the quadrant that you have your hand behind. People will think they're targeting your face behind the shield but will strike the most strong and supported part of the shield. Still it would be a tough day at work if people are shooting at your shield in any case.

pistols are one handed

@@gamecubekingdevon3 not really, it is only really in point and shoot situations that are happening within a few yards that you can use a handgun effectively with only one hand, the almost all uses for revolvers and pistols alike demand two hands.

@@yorkleroy5605 most situations where shields are used are generally close range, indoor anyway

@@gamecubekingdevon3 true, but it is still much more effective to use two hands.

THE ammor moment, kek.

Very true devon, I think we talked about this before right? I wonder how much that would be, cost wise. it would make the whole thing slimmer too.

@@Techthisoutmeow possible. worth noting that i said 3/8 because i expected the use of somehting like 5083 or 2XXX series (since 7XXX series are more expensive)

Man you're on it!

aim to deflect, not absorb

cone snow blow shaped shield

so that you naturally point the shield to the aggressor but the 45 angle surfaces point to sides

no need to stop the bullet, just deflect it, mirror it, away from you

the deflection will somewhat crush and slow down the incoming fire

Yeah, I'm thinking of adding all my content to rumble, so going forward I have a backup. Plus you never know, might do better over there. I appreciate the kind words brother.

Thank you! and yeah, I think with some polishing one might be able to sell a more refined design.
