Body armor: Passed ☑️ Person: Passed away 💀

“The bullet didn’t go through doctor” “Yeah but his organs look like mashed potatoes”

I know, a lot of people are commenting that the shockwave will kill the person. but bear in mind, he shot the vest at such a short distance. In reality a .50 cal will be shot most probably from way further and in between if there are bullet proof glass or walls or other armour, I think the person will not die, might have some broken ribs may be.

Holy crap, it truly grinds my gears seeing this comment section missing the entire point of this test. *No!* You would NOT survive being shot at by a .50 Cal with this vest. But also *no,* the point of this vest is NOT to save your life from a .50 Cal in a real shootout condition. It's a purely experimental piece meant simply for showing and it's not even commercially available in the first place. The entire point of this test was both to show off how far we've come in terms of armor technology in the last 20 years and also for marketing purposes for SafeLife's other products. What 99% of people are failing to understand here is that not even a *single decade ago* the mere prospect of such a thin layer of armor ever coming even CLOSE to stopping the penetration of such round was thought to be something *utterly impossible!* Yet here we are! We got the penetration part solved. What a feat of material engineering, isn't it??? Now all that's left is to effectively pad the damn thing in the future. But no, let's ignore this recent progress and paradoxally pretend it never happened to make "Muh puréed lungs" jokes and pretend that commercially available .30-06 M2 AP rated body armor isn't a thing either. You know, a grade of preactical protection that so many soldiers from the 20th Century would've LOVED to get their hands on because practically almost no one wore anything that would provide any significant physical protection at all besides at best a flak jacket! Jeez, it's almost like Americans can't cope with the fact that armor is finally catching up to compete with commonplace small firearms for the first time in *FOUR ENTIRE CENTURIES!!!* And I do say so as a pro-gun person myself.

How to survive a 50 cal shot: Don't get shot by a 50 cal.

as a wise man once said "it's not supposed to save your life, its supposed to make sure theres something to send home"

I'm not an expert, and I have no idea if that carrier is soft armor or has a soft armor insert, but maybe the blunt force trauma can be reduced by wearing a trauma pad with soft armor under all of it.

Now I can finally go to school safely in America

Vest - Stops .50 Cal Ribs - Ejected Through Your Back

This thing is impressive! It shows what technologies can do! Adding some shockwave absorbing materials would make it a true 50 cal rated body armor.

KZfaq recommended, I just watched a video of a .50 cal going through railroad railway chunks in slowmo. Every single shot went through, except the shot that hit it dead centre where the thickness was like 8 inches. Kudos to that vest.

.50BMG: *Stopped* Organs: *Crushed* Hotel: *Trivago*

Stopping the bullet is no problem, the real challenge is preventing your organs from becoming paté

Love to see this stuff tested when put on a ballistic dummy. Never seen something than thin stop an APIT before. Hopefully it's on the market by now.

These guys are the definition of "when it's all said and done, there is more said than done"

I think it would be less painful without the vest.

Bullet: doesn’t go through Organs: Dead Bones: Dead Muscles: Dead

Wow!!! That's amazing. More than what I would need but a terrific test and great for Safelife Armor to market to the military and law enforcement.

Appreciate the safety aspects from you all the time. Good !

Vest: Stopped bullet Impact: Stopped heart

This body armor is the definition of "well yes but actually no"

That's very impressive and I wonder if it would do the same cloth imprint on the wood at a realistic shooting distance?

That was amazing. I thought that there was very little chance that it could even stop a standard 50cal, then you put that incendiary tracer in it and I literally said to my self, 0% chance that gets stopped. They just now need to work out how to reduce/absorb some of the energy that hits the vest so that the wearer has a bit of a chance to survive the hit.

"At least your body looks neat when you die" starter pack

Rescuers in the field: No penetration? He's gonna live!" Surgeon: " Ahh... guys where's his spine?"

You should get another one and strap it to the ballistic dummy with the organs and bones so we can see the damage it would do to a human body

While I'm not a gun guy, I do know a 50 cal is super powerful, so with my little knowledge, I honestly thought the vest would get blasted off the table, especially that close up, so that's pretty impressive. I'm pretty sure the shock wave from the impact would easily do some damage, or maybe kill you.

So this is what people in warzone wear

Best case scenario: open casket funeral

14:48 I love how hot brass just goes flying right past him and he doesn’t react at all

That is amazing that something this light can protect from such a high powered round. I imagine a lightweight armored car with this tech.

Body armor: *Stops Bullet* Kinetic energy: *”I’m about to end this mans whole career”*

Why I watch this? 1%- to learn about guns. 99%- to hear him say "I'm ready"

i work for united kingdom ministry of defense and we have built a similiar vest but ours uses free floating nylon wires imbedded with specially shaped glass beads to stop the "imprinting" effect seen here, it means the final dispersion of energy is sent through the wire like how a wristwatch wind up wire contains its energy when wound, only opposite

The bullet may not kill you but I think the punch alone from it will or definitely do some major damage. I didn't think it would stop an AP round though!

50-CAL: Designed to kill Armour: Designed to stop Armour: stops the bullet 50-CAL: still kills I see this as an absolute win

Safelife Blender Edition Body Armor: " The bullet wont penetrate, but you will wish it did!"

The 50 cal is such a badass gun

Even the smallest 0.50 cal fragment deflected off the vest will tear your face apart and in case the high velocity 0.50 cal gets any flesh it will surely open a new one for you. Still its indeed impressive such a thin vest stopped the bullet from penetrating. The thick ceramics we use barely stop a 7.62 and still not from such a close encounter.

Note to file: Try not to face down opponent holding a 50 BMG at 20 yards.

The shock of the impact alone would be a bad day ...

Amazing vid, as usual!!

I wish I could test the weapons with you. You're the best.

So wearing it is basically the difference between having a open casket as opposed to a closed casket.

The cost of the vest is around $650. Source : CS:GO

*If this vest is wear by bodybuilder or boxer than its truly bullet proof*

You guys are awesome I subscribed

Actually the jacket is designed in such a way that the person wearing it dies but his body remains intact in one piece for decent burial

It may not save you, but your battle buddy behind you will be grateful

Camera man is funny as hell😂

"overly excited latin americans giggling whilst shooting anti aircraft ammunition" 10/10

I love how enthusiastic and positive the cameraman is

Normal armor: instant dead. 50 BMG proof vest: "Please, someone shoot me in the head."

That impact alone is lethal!

It seems like these two are childhood best friends

Nurse: He got hit in the chest and flew back a few meters, first let’s see if his ribs are ok Doctor: What ribs?

Armor: I can stop a 50 cal bullet. Man wearing the armor: But why did I died? Armor: I didn't tell you that you wouldn't die, all I said is that I can stop bullets.

You should get some of those pressure pads they put on crash test dummies to test the Jules the dummy receives… it will help you understand that even if the vest stops the bullet you’ll know if it will break ribs, collar bones or even your sternum

Surgeon be like: *wth why is the heart in his pelvis.*

Sure you would probably still die being hit by a .50 BMG wearing this armor, but the fact that it stopped the bullet shows that it would probably save you from many other calibers, which is very impressive.

Holy crap, death by impact rather than bleeding out. I'm impressed it did stop the 50 cal.

You should do this test with one of those gel and bone torso thing to show what damage it does

*When you get shot by a 50. Cal in an HEV suit.* Health : % 1 Suit : 96

Did the bullet hit you? him : No , but actually yes.

this is literally incredible

That’s the new FRAS plates in conjunction with the level 4 plates !

Vest: protected Human: died from body trauma

sergeant: "he survived a shot from the 50 BMG! this is unbelievable." surgeon: "cool, cool. anyway, where are his lungs?"

The recoil in the bullpup is onto the right.

The fact it stoped it from that close is shocking

Everyone's talking about how even though this vest stops the bullet it wouldn't save your life, and rightfully so. But can we just acknowledge that even stopping it is seriously impressive? I've been inside armored vehicles that wouldn't stop a .50 BMG

Sniper: Seriously? A hit marker?

The quality of this vest is just amazing. Stopped a 50 cal with this thhin vest at such a close range, wooo

I thought for a second he was going to conduct the test wearing it.

Bullet: *doesn't go through* Person: *flies faster than an F-35*

need to put this on one of the anatomically correct dummies that have fluids inside to see what would have ruptured.

I saw a guy earlier testing all kind of calibars on all kinds of wests. And conclusion was that west can stop only pistol bullets, if you shot with something powerfull like an AK it goes straight through. This test actually shocked me

Interesting that the bullet wasn't hardly deformed. From that close range and that hard stopping. Even the tip of the bullet is hardly changed. Must be a very hard bullet...

"I'm alive, but dead inside"

Like that one scene in john wick “zero penetration however......quite painful I'm afraid"

Only chris Hemsworth of extraction movie can survive after 50cal 😂

wow the fabric, printed on the wood

Keep in mind that he shot a sniper at 20 yards. And it STILL stopped it.

Edwin: "It stopped 50 BMG API!!!" Human body after internal -peace- organ ruptures: "help"

That sniper blow my earbuds off shshsh

Wow ! Legendary bullet proof vest It the first video ive seen so far a powerful weapon like that being stopped but i can also tell though the bullet didn't go but the person wearing it will take some real punch .

Will it save you from a 50cal? - *Yesn't*

Vest: we made it! Let’s go Organs: I need a sec

Dude you just pulled the trigger on a 50 cal and you think it was clear im glad your there and im here😮

Put this on all our soldiers. Also if this was held in some kind of handheld shield you could stop the .50 and live. You would break your arm but bones can heal

Alternate title: how to administer chest compressions to people with body armor on.

He keeps saying "Safelife Defense" and my brain keeps wanting to think, "Safelite Repair, Safelite Replace"

This is just amazing to say the least. I would bet that someone was burning the midnight oil for certain Edwin !!!

Don't think you're still alive when your broken ribs enter your heart, and your spine snaps in two.

So wearing it basically wont protect you but protects your allies behind you🥶

Its less painfull when you dont have armor

My friends from Neveda !!! Awesome video !!!!

The kinetic energy from the 50 cal punch, would damage your organs severely.

Died from bullet:❌ Died from impact:✔
