There's no way handmade fabric could stop a bullet, right? WRONG! We put our Ancient Greek body armor to the test against swords, spears, bow + arrow, and finally, a modern bullet. It's our homemade version of kevlar. Spoiler Alert: IT STOPS EVERYTHING (almost)!

Now, consider that during an actual combat it wouldn't be that easy to deliver such precise thrusts. Armor doesn't need to be perfect - just good enough, and I think that this one does it's job. I'd take shallow cuts and punctures over fatal injury any time.

@Asiliea 4 жыл бұрын

Considering that it's light enough to give you significantly more flexibility than full or even half plate armour, it would not only be good enough preventing significant harm if hit, but also in maneuvering away from it, allowing to more easily parry. Because of this, surely it would require significantly more skill to wear into war? Especially when surrounded by metal-clad foot soldiers, like Alexander was. Perhaps it being near-white and thus unmarked from blood and dirt, as well as appearing to be weaker and softer than metal, he was boasting of his still to _avoid_ harm, rather than protect from it. Very cool stuff!

@Ellanion 4 жыл бұрын

@@Asiliea Outside of DnD there's no such thing as half plate, and even a full suit of armour does very little to hinder mobility. It's heavy and will make you tired a lot quicker, and most helmets will limit hearing, vision and sometimes breathing, but usually the only range of movement even slightly impeded is lifting arms above head. Alexander wearing one is likely because it's much lighter, less warm, more comfortable, and because he wasn't on the front line. A carefully made, custom-fitted suit of linothorax would have provided enough protection and be a status symbol just from how wellmade it was.

@NaoyaYami 4 жыл бұрын

@@Asiliea Armor that significantly limits someone's mobility is a very poorly made armor. Strength was of course important in melee combat but not as much as reaction time and mobility required to use those reflexes. Armor is the last defense - even if it protects you from fatal injuries it usually doesn't protect against pain and bruises. Just look at .22 bullet test (I may have typed it incorrectly - I'm not well-educated in firearms): it got stopper sure, but imagine the pain of being hit by this protrusion. An axe test was also good example of how armor wasn't the perfect defense - it could easily break bones beneath armor with a good hit. Shield was way earlier invention and as long as you could see an attack coming (melee or even some projectiles) you'd be better prepared to defend than with just armor (moving just hands to redirect a blow is usually easier than moving whole body).

@corwinweber693 4 жыл бұрын

@@NaoyaYami You likely wouldn't have felt it much, especially at that range. A .22lr isn't very powerful at all. Even the .223 that the AR uses (as underpowered as it is) is one hell of a lot more powerful than a 22. Personally if I were in that armor I'd probably rather take a hit from a .22 than from that axe. The .22 might leave a bruise, that axe would break bones.

That said, he DID point out that wars accelerated the development of iron tools, so these few weapon/armor videos are right on a segue into that technology.

The relatively substantial cuts the kopesh made are evidence of why some cutting swords later in history use extremely specialised blade designs for purposes like these. For example the type 1A falchions, the Pala, and the tegha all use broad blades with very fine edges for defeating layered textile clothing and armor efficiently. Some (like the Pala) go even further and use T shaped spines and incredibly thin edges to even further extend the ability to cut through layered cloths. When combined with a draw cut, it's a good way to defeat otherwise very effective protection.

The moment the linen suffered the first gunshot it was no longer a consistent test for the rest of the gunshots.

So in case of the Zombie Apocalypse this armor type works pretty good just make it a bit larger/cover whole body.

you need a target that is similar to flesh, the ones you used were too hard and too soft, and like goldilocks you need one that is just right (or close enough to just right)

Looking at those sword-thrusts, where it made a wound but didn't go through, I'm reminded of another function of certain cloth armor: making injuries easier to treat. Not going through the armor means there's no fibers or anything driven into the wound, which makes it easier to clean and thus easier to heal. Considering this armor is, what, a couple thousand years removed from the invention of antibiotics, the importance of that can't really be overstated.

I think normally linothorax would be made with glue because that might be more solid, and protect against blunt force.

Muxite No need to hate. It could have been done better, but it was still effective at many things.

@@shipofbats9134 it's not hate it's legit criticism and the authentic armour wouldn't do anything to stop blunt force. Even plate is vulnerable to blunt force.

I can see the durability of that linothorax dropping with every hit. You need an anvil and some string for repair!

Did you put the linen cloth layers in at different angles so the weave was up & down, then side to side, then diagonal, then up & down again and so on. That would really help the strength and also something they probably did at the time.

Two criticisms of the test, balistic gel would be a bettter analog for flesh, and it should be mounted on something so it has some give, no person can stay perfectly rigid when someone thrust with all their body weight.

One thing to keep in mind is that most bullet proof vests are made from Kevlar over a steel plate. The Kevlar isn't even really meant to stop the bullet, just soften the blow so the metal plate doesn't deform to the point of killing you itself. I think something like this would actually make a good low-tech alternative to Kevlar.

@JB-ls5pq Жыл бұрын

Kevlar over steel? . There are traumaplates that go over the heart but they go on the front. Materials used are kevlar qnd UHMWPE for pistol / frag protection and ceramic, titanium ,steel and UHMWPE for rifles. Older flakjackets from korea used metal plates wrapped in doron(something like fiberglass)
