Your video answers all my questions very well! In addition, I have heared that rubber has some positive impact when slices of it are in the spaced armour. It seems that rubber sticks to the projectile and bleeds energy from the projectile. But I am not sure what type of rubber they use so your demonstration is very good with the limited equipment you had.
Everyone talking about sloped armor seems to be neglecting the fact that a sloped piece of armor is longer in relation to the horizontal protection it affords. In relation to the vertical armor it is meant to replace, the weight is the same as the shorter piece of thicker verticle armor.
the issue with the ceramic armor is the pieces are flying away. traditionally they stay put and grind the bullet to a pulp. but when you are exposing the edges the ceramic has place to move away and does not perform effectivly. i think you should use tape and wrap around the entire plate.
I have a great idea about keeping projectiles from penetrating armor. I will be making a video showing the makeup of the material. P.S. will keep it a secret till the show.
Thank you for finally explaning this in a way that fully details it without being overly technical and relying solely on terms. seeing this in action is fantastic. The only other ways I've seen this is people showing off commercial armor plates. I really like how you used your own materials for this test. I also want to point out that the same M855 out of a 20" barrel will penetrate the 1/2 inch steel plate, But in my case I have a similar setup rifle to you with a 16" barrel and It's been hard to find a good comparison because most people use either a BCM 11" or 14.5" barrel or the M16 style 20" barrel for these tests. Thank you!
This thing is 4 years old could someone tell me why it sounds like it was read by an AI? So far he's mispronounced "homogeneous" and "sandwich". This is supposed to be 4 years old. I don't remember any AI reading for videos back then. Why the hell would someone remake an old video using AI?
Well--it isn't armor and won't stop current anti armor projectiles---period. ALL main battle tanks can penetrate the frontal armor on ALL other main battle tanks--period. This so called "armor" has to be a joke.
0:32 Germany and US put on more armour and protection, USSR makes a meat shield out of infantry. Though I hope so of the logic was the infantry would also defend themselves and the tank rather than just the impact...
This is a nice junkyard ( with all respect due ) example of how even rudimentary single layer composite arrays can have higher mass efficiency compared to solid steel. Soviets pioneered mass production of single layer composite arrays with the T-64 and they rapidly advanced to more complex triple layer or quintuple layer with integration of NxRA with their T-72/80/90 family of MBTs. For those who want to learn more on composite arrays i would highly recomend to read Tankograd ( thesovietarmorblog ) article on T-72 which goes in depth to explain the different arrays and their mass efficiency , everything backed up by historical Soviet academic studies etc .
Hello there! Chobam armour pronounced Cobam was developed in the Military vehicles and engineering establishment Surrey England,near Chobam common, hence the name.
In our armored vests we use composite armor but a slightly different one. Its thin aramide, thick steel, medium aramide. The point is to absorb the splashes of Steel on the impact and avoid ricochets, stop the bullet or at least turn it into small fragments before exiting through the steel plate. Medium thickness aramide is thete to catch steel fragments which made it through the steel plate.
You need a space of at least two and three quarters of an inch to give enough time for the projectile to tumble and or break up. The blades with the tungsten carbide tips have a lower brinell hardness but marginally heavier weight.
