I wasn't the only one surprised by this one. 😅😂

The slim pointy ones are able to penetrate deeply that’s unsurprising. What sorcery was in the concave arrow? 😱

​@@lostwanderingdriftersomebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it has to do with the arrowhead creating an under pressure that allows it to slide right through after piercing

It probably just went through a hole that was already there lol

Bro the concave arrow really surprised me a lot

There's a reason why hollow point is banned in war

@@TbV-st8ef yah, because we've a gun (the countries not me)🤝

​@@TbV-st8efthis is absolutely not why.

It's made like some anti-tank shells. Probably designed specifically to pierce armour.

​@@TbV-st8efthat's not at all why, because they aren't. In fact they're almost always used in urban combat engagements where civilians may be present because the round is far less likely to go through the target and into a civilian near them, and they don't usually penetrate walls. They're designed to open and "blossom" inside a person, turning a solid piece of metal into lots of tiny pieces that lose kinetic energy very fast. And when they hit a wall, they often break apart harmlessly. Hollow point ammunition is not prohibited by the Geneva Convention and I don't know where that rumor started.

Great point!

Which means it is a bit of an "all or nothing" approach - if it has enough energy to penetrate, it will penetrate with apparent ease. But if it doesn't have enough, it will likely bounce off. Unlike a conventional arrow, which will often partially embed. This makes it useful for penetrating armor and shields, but less useful for, for instance, hunting large animals; where you want to maximize damage to deeper tissue in a target that you will not fully penetrate.

Yep, this was exactly my thought. The hollow point is the only arrowhead has a leading edge that all contacts at the same time. The rest have to apply a deformation continuously over time that at least partly is supported the material in the shield surrounding the puncture region

It's not about whether it's blunt or not. All of them are sharp. However, the arrowhead shape matters. Most of the arrowhead will leave either a hole in the shape of a flat line (for the flat arrows) or a triangular hole. However, the shaft of the arrow is cylindrical, which means it requires a circular hole for the entire arrow to pass through. Well, guess which arrowhead leaves behind a circular hole? Also, consider that one arrowhead like the blade inside a paper holepuncher. It's plenty sharp.

That one deals crush damage.

It wasn't blunt, it's basically a hole puncher. It is a cup shape with a sharpened rim. Been around for centuries.

Its because thats not what they were designed for. The "simplistic" arrows were designed to pierce armor, the "complex" arrows were designed to tear flesh I'm also not an archery guy.

The more complex arrows are for game animals. The wide blades are designed specifically to create a larger wound cavitation than simply punching a hole into the target.

thank you friend

Very nice explanation thanks, though I disagree about the one that cleanly penetrated through. Anyone getting skewered by that arrow will have a bad day no matter what. 😅

Couldn’t have described it better myself, that said, just for additional context, there are a variety of blunt arrow tips/heads. There are ones that penetrate, like the one used in the video, while others are made to stun or fatally concuss a target. These arrow heads/tips are often used to hunt for small game that reside in trees, seeing as most sharp arrows would end up either getting stuck or end up pinning the target to the tree, resulting in an arrow and/or target becoming unretrievable (or at least very difficult to retrieve).

I mean, I guess… But if you’re going to escalate to lethal force why not just bring a hand gun?

​@@BradloRaul not everyone has access to handguns. Just food for thought. The language on the shield hints at this being Chinese. China doesn't all for firearms but bows and arrows I would assume are some what available. There are many riots in China this could be a slightly targeted video for that effect. Another fun fact. The India China border has a rule where neither side can use firearms during "disputes" so personal have carried bows into combat instead. This video would allow a soldier or civilian what arrow is effective against a specific target. If you want to learn more look at task and purposes video on why the Chinese carry bows in their military.

Unless you're Shield Hero

I mean, the meteor hammer arrow, is relatively new. And that was the most effective. Since it went all the way though and though

no, arrows used against armor for medieval bows were made out of wood and much larger. the tactic was not to penetrate the plate armor, but to hit the mail in between. you would actually be surprised at how easy it was. of course this depends on the armor as later versions had very little caps. but believe it they were still dangerous, and knights still had to worry about arrows. anyways. medieval arrow tips cold never come close to penetrating steel plate armor.

Bodkins were simple and effective, has trouble in reasonable quality mail if it has sufficient padding and rivets but still can at very least obstruct movement or get a little hole

My first thought 😂

Not true. Times have changed

You mean like an APFSDS round (it's a long rod, very effective for penetrating armor)

rambo might like that 🥴

No is hiting a hole that's pass so easy .

Vibranium says access denied 😎

its not actually blunt. its sharp on the edges, making a straight hole, leaving the rest go trough with no resistance. other types force the metal to bend, and still cause friction on the shaft.

It's a plug cutter. This makes a clearance hole, and then the shaft friction is very low.

It's the hollow point of arrows

A riot shield and ballistic shield are two very different creatures.

@@williamk033bro creatures? are they… alive?

@@tigurt11 yes.

The shield shown here would most likely get pierced by a strong firearm, except maybe weak pistols or long range shotgun blasts. It looks very thin and un-reinforced. These are more for blocking bottles/rocks, fists and sticks/improvised melee weapons. In an active shooting situation they would bring kevlar and/or ceramic plated ballistic shields, not a thin metal plate. Judging by the size of this shield compared to the arrow, i would guess this shield is used together with a baton. I could be wrong though.

whats the arrowhead called? everyones saying its called a plug cutter but i cant find it when i search it up

Ty for this insightful explanation ❤

Why do you know this and what are you planning?

No shit...

Yeah, I'm thinking the cheap Chinese one is a lot thinner.

@@TeaBurnmost likely, but a good bow with good arrows and arrowheads will still penetrate.

The head would need incredibly high mass to have enough torque at impact to drill anything. The rotation stops the instant it hits. The thing just hole-punches through. Very well, apparently.

That's mostly a misconception that arrows spin. Most arrows have straight fletching for various reasons e.g. less drag, deeper penetration (beacuse kinetic energy depends more on velocity than mass), cheeper and easier to make and its only flaw is being less accurate. As helical fletching do exists that makes arrows more accurate - it is mostly not practical in terms of "battles" (you either want pin point accuarcy or eliminate your target efficiently). Anyway - if you would actually use helical fletching - the spin it provides is sufficient enough to stabilize the arrow and improve accuarcy - is still not enough to drill anything. Optimistic spin value is like 1 full rotation per every 3 meters of travel! (which is a lot for an arrow). Realistically it is about 1 rotation per +- 9meters as archers say. Tl;dr: arrows don't drill anything but air, not enough rotations and force that makes arrow spin is not enough to make arrow spin on contact with surface

It's a hollow tip, not necessarily blunt.

It works kinds like a discarding salvo round from a tank. The outer part splits away easy on impact and the sharp rod pens.

it works like hole cutter, thats why the entry point is a big opening for following shaft to go thru

Basically similar principles as steel armor. Most steel armor immune to slashing and piercing damage. But when someone brings out anything blunt like a mace, a hammer or similar bashing weapons like baseball bats or sledgehammers, durability goes down the drain. That arrow head is the most aerodynamic blunt head I've seen by far.

​@@porkchop4401 That is literally not how sabot rounds work. Every sabot round is different. 3BM42 has a very different performance against non-homogenous composites/laminates than M829A3. But as a general rule of thumb, most APFSDS KEPs use monolithic penetrators. They do not rely on the principle of plugging as a primary AP component. What you're looking at is plugging from a wz. 35-style penetration principle.

They are all variations of bodkin arrows I believe, created specifically in many cultures to pierce armor and hard targets

False, the hollow point was best

@@Hshjshshjsj72727​​⁠ While the hollow point arrow had the best penetration, it will deal less damage to a person than any other arrow that pierced the shield. The other arrows can pierce metal body armor and will get stuck in the flesh of the target, causing a more severe injury, which is exactly what they were designed for. None of the tipped arrows were designed to shoot at a riot shield.

They’re meant for different applications. Some for flesh.

As others have stated, the bodkin style arrows penetrated deeper (except for you know which one) because they were designed for piercing armor. The ones that did worse are designed for maiming an unarmored target.
