I thought it was great fun, I'm so glad you shared it :)

Yeah bud, do a remake.

Let's do again! But this time, make the dude wear a thick jacket or gambeson cause chainmail was often worn with padded clothing to act as a sponge for hits, protecting both the user and the mail while the mail stopped sharp objects from slashing.

I'd like to see a follow-up, but in this new version try to use proper cutting movements (there's a couple tutorials on KZfaq) instead of swinging it like a bat and u will get a much better result

You definitely should do a some research on swords and chain mail and do a follow up video

@@Sand_eater123 yes, but it takes alot of time and it kind of puts pressure on your fingers ig

That's what a gambeson is designed to mitigate.

I've tested a bit, a Mail without gambeson provides 80% of blunt pain. But plate armor is light and mitigates kinetic energy even without pad like gambeson.

Go for a Gambeson under mail and plate. Full form fitted plate was unreasonable for anyone but the wealthiest. If you don't have form fitted, you definitely want that Gambeson for two reasons... it provides straps and anchor points for your mail and plate to sit right with weight distribution, it allowed you to breathe under the armor and acted like a sweat wick. It prevented armor bite from where plates interlock or meet. And it did a lot to mitigate the impact as it was more than just cloth and padding like most hobbyists make. It was usually some form of semi rigid fiber like horsehair or flax between an outer layer of compressed and glued felt, linen, or wool layers or layered heavy canvas and an inner one of felt or similar wicking material. The Chain dissipates the impact, and if you wear it right, it will do it's job well, but the remainder still needs somewhere to go... that is the Gambeson or your fleshy bits. Your upper arms and legs can probably tank the shot under naked chain, but joints, hips, sternums, etc... really can't.

​@@talyn3932under plate you don't really want gambeson but an arming doublet. It's thinner and lighter and has loops to attach the plate more securely. You don't need as much padding under plate and it gets hotter because it's not breathable like mail.

Not sure that is true at all. Those that don’t know, simply don’t care, and have never known (or forgotten) and those that did know, still know.😂

He could achieved a similar effect had he spot welded the rings where the breaks were, surely? Obviously not as strong as actual rivets, but better than just butting.

They didn’t thought that far. Forgot that aluminum foil is meant to be heat resistant, XD

Okay so there's some misunderstanding here. Aluminum foil isn't particularly heat resistant. For metal it actually melts at relatively low temperatures. something like 1200 degrees. It's heat resistant in your oven or on the grill, but that blow torch can put out 2 or even 3 times that melting temperature.

@@EternalAnkh You just need to hold it in the same spot for about 5-10 min for it to change color and he would more then likely have to go through a few tanks of fuel to still create a piss poor blade due to the poor quality of aluminium he was using.

@@chemislife not to mention even high quality aluminum doesn't heat treat well and heating such thin aluminum in the open air would basically destroy it.

In his defence, his edge alignment was actually really good for someone who doesn't use a sword. The real issue is that the sword is just terrible, barely more than a wall-hanger, and the impromptu sharpening they did on it wouldn't have actually done much to help it.

@@justiniani.4501 He's still striking instead of slashing

@@markov3743 Literally the only problem with his attack is that he should have opted for a diagonal cut instead of a horizontal one, since that would have been simpler for him and would have been a stronger strike. That doesn't mean that the strike itself was actually bad. Edge alignment is king when you're using a sword of any kind, and if that sword were made properly, it would have easily been devastating. I'm not saying his form his good, and he obviously wouldn't do well in a fight against a real person, but that doesn't change the fact that the admittedly poor-form strike would have been more than sufficient in cutting through the weird armour and the shirt underneath quite effortlessly.

@@justiniani.4501 A better made and sharper blade would show better results even when striking, of course, but striking with a blade instead of slashing will most of the time get poor results (unless you are hitting something fragile or very thin).

@@newCoCoY6 Historical chainmail would often be riveted to close the gaps. They also wouldn't cut every ring, since you can link several uncut rings onto a single cut ring and thus reduce the number of weaker cut rings in your armor.

For Larping, I would say no for fantasy as it is made of poptops and looks "modern" or for a post-apocalyptic maybe. Some Larps require that armor be made out of materials that would actually protect you ie steel, leather, etc. as shown in vid this type of armor does not give much protection.

@@mikegolden3021 Really depends on the level of larping that you’re doing. One where you’re grabbing whatever you can to make a costume and where your weapons are foam, this would be more than enough and I think everyone involved would simply be impressed you made something like this. Of course if you’re actually fighting with weapons or involved in a more in-depth larp session where people are spending good money on actual fitted armor, then yea this is going to look super out of place and depending on whether you’re dealing with actual weapons may be unsafe. Just depends on the circumstance really.

Unriveted mail was (according to many sources) also used historically and looks good enough, and as far as materials go, steel rings made from wire are not much more expensive. What is expensive is work that needs to be done. I know some people from knight brotherhoods who used unriveted mail simply because it was easier to both made and also repair on the spot, and they were good enough protection. I don't know if it was done historically (but there is huge chance some people did) but they also liked to attach some brass or even copper rings to some parts to make it look better.

Super glue should have sorted it out.

@@henriqueribeiro8167 absolutely not it needs a metal connection real mail was riveted rings.

@@Reaniman99 yeah you’d need to spotweld it at least

@@theslamjamfrincisco2820 That would be expensive though (most people don't have a spotwelder). Soldering might be a worthwhile upgrade (even if you don't know anyone, that you could borrow one from, you can just buy a cheap one), obviously it wouldn't be nearly as good as riveted or welded mail, but better than butted mail and not much more expensive than butted/a lot cheaper than riveted/welded.
