Can I Make A Bulletproof Vest? 

What other experiments should we try with our new phantom cameras?

❤okay gentlemen If you want to stop a bullet ie. A 5.56 you need to do one of two things 1 absorb the energy before it's can penetrate or 2 destroy the projectile before it can penetrate Ceramic tiles are a good way of removing the outer casing but it can't absorb the energy of the mass so I would suggest trying other layers of different densities For instance I've used ceramic,epoxy ,hardened steel washers, and then I put fiberglass mats with resin and compressed in to a mold with c clamps for a week and the best results were when I overlapped the hardened washers It stopped everything except 338 lapua with a steel core It's all about the layers Boys Cool hi speed footage Cheers 🇨🇦😁👍🏻 Just saying

When there’s a Phantom camera involved, you know it’s gonna be cool

Throwback to the guy who tried stopping a bullet with a book while he was holding it and just ended up getting shot

In a bullet proof armor, you're suppose to have a first layer made of a material that shatters and dissipates the energy of the projectile, followed by a material that resembles fiber so it acts as a net for the fragments. The reason the fiberglass worked so well, is because it had the tile to dissipate the force of the bullet, and after the material that's suppose to break is broken, the armor is no longer functional.

Im glad you used the tile as the strike face, ceramic is great at stopping bullets and tightknit fibers are good at catching fragments

The tile was a critical part of the $50 armor, it breaks up the bullet enough to make the kevlar effective

Thanks for being hilarious while also providing us with this much needed evidence of scientic tests conducted!

8:06 "oooo self burn, those are rare" 😂

Conclusion: don't go where you feel you should prepare in advance with bulletproof armor.

The last armor would be a lot better if you had Kevlar in the middle instead of wood. I also think it would be better with no wood and just thicker metal. Would probably affect the cost a lot though.

The squatter bit hit too close to home

Test this (silicone glue): Non-tempered glass 1/8 inch plastic sheet Silk (5 layers epoxy) Tempered glass 1/4 inch rubber sheet Fiberglass (5 layers epoxy) Thin sheet steel

Follow Hard-soft-hard-soft-etc material-stacking-method: (because) a bullet exiting solid-brittle-material into soft-strate encourages it to tumble instead of spin; loosing helical-motion, a bullet, can't screw dynamically into targets as a linear force, & deviates wildly; so even a few layers of hard-soft-hard-materials can absorb more penetration than solid lumber four-times as thick: reason for tile-wainscotting, wall-insulation, & watertable.

A construction site i worked at required bullet proof rooms on all 12 stories. ALL the walls had this fibre glass reinforcement floor to ceiling. I took a core sample home from drilling one out, my calipers show 30mm THICC.

I may be wrong but I believe I saw a video a while ago testing Kevlar... but they did it two different ways. One was just putting the sheets in something to secure them together and the other was using resin to make a block of Kevlar. The sheets together worked better because the Kevlar flexing when being shot help slow down and stop the bullet while the resin one just basically shatters...... now thinking about it that could have been fiberglass but I believe the same principles apply since they're similar as in a strong weaved material. Also someone else made a comment that I was sort of thinking of but the layers of armor matter. First layer takes a majority of the impact taking energy away (why the tile is a good first layer) the rest are to slow it down and attempt to stop it. Soft body armor is a thing where they have a vest just filled with Kevlar sheets basically like a pillow but instead of foam/feathers/etc. inside its sheets of Kevlar.

I'm glad you had fun on your fancy smancy trip. And I'm glad you shoved us in a pallet.10/10 Excellent video!

2:39 I've never seen such an amazing form for carrying heavy weight.

My therapist: Tony Robbins isn’t real he can’t hurt you. Tony Robbins: 12:21

No way tile and fiberglass can stop 556 and 9 mil... These guys are so awesome and I love it.

the fact that the scissors came with a holster is so funny to me

LOOK AT THIS GRAPH!!

The thumb is pretty good ngl

For something ready made and affordable, try Gong targets. Caldwell is a big manufacturer, but there are others. They are targets designed to make a ringing noise when hit, hence the name Gong. They have to survive a lot of hits, and often in some pretty powerful calibers so they are usually made from AR500 armor steel. And there are a variety of shapes and sizes, some of them large enough to fit in plate carriers. For something more home brew, I've wondered if an updated version of the WW2 plastic armour could be made. There is a Wikipedia article, but it was protection for the bridge and gun positions of merchant ships against machine gun and auto cannon fire made by mixing hard and soft gravel with tar and molding it onto the ship's steel bulkheads. Maybe Rhino liner could replace the tar? Fiberglass for the backing? And ceramic ball bearings for the gravel?

You shouldve put a few layers of kevlar behind the steel plate to catch the fragments because that is exactly what kevlar is meant to do.

book plus resin between all the pages

Nice inside-the-pallet-workbench-shot at 13:03. Silly POV. 😁

I think you should have tested the $50 one a little more as it seems like the ceramic is all that was blocking the bullets. The Kevlar is going to outperform if you are getting shot more than a single time.

1:59 someone been in the gym 💪🏼💪🏼

The tile you used isn't porcelain. You used ceramic tiles. There is a little bit of a difference, but I don't know how much of a difference it would have made to the test. The plywood used could have also been different from the one used by the original maker. The wood, glue type, and grain orientation could all have effected the strength of the armor.

Tank armor now uses Ceramic plates in part of it's composition. It turns out when ceramics are hit by high speed projectiles the fracturing of the ceramic composite takes away tremendous energy and mitigates penetration significantly.

Maybe instead of a single tile that gets compromised in one shot you could use smaller tiles so the 9mm test doesn't affect the 5.56. Might be worth it to give your fiberglass armor another chance though I’d also increase the thickness of the fiberglass backing itself. Porcelain is also harder than terracotta and might help to break the bullet up more.

Is he lying there in the sun without a shirt. And nice video

Once the fibers get damaged, isnt kevlar less effective? Shoulda shot it with the 5.56 first?

10:37 rip in peace? Rest in peace in peace

Bet the resin used ruined the properties of the kevlar.

I totally thought this was a demolition ranch video

Use a little bit less hardener in your epoxy.. So it stays a bit flexible.. I wonder if it would help to absorb the energy.

In a vest the kevlar is loose, not hard laminated. The bullet gets sort of "tangled".

Is that half a book at the beginning?! Was it cut by the waterjet in a former video? 🙃

Need to test mix of fiber glasses and the ceramic wood metal

7:52 Thats what my step dad says about my eye queue

I spent half of the video thinking you were filming slo-mo with very expensive, high end, anamorphic lenses 😮🤯🤩 …But then I remembered that you got the Phantom Camera’s for ‘cheap’ off NASA, as they weren’t sure if they really worked any more - and that the long horizontal stripes through the middle of the image weren’t anamorphic lens flares, but issues with the cameras sensor! But still! These cameras an amazing find (please protect them when your shooting that close to them!) - but also, if you ever wanted to hide the defect,aim the camera towards a light/the sun, and pretend your using super expensive lenses 🤩🙌😎

“Colt 45 and two zig zags” Baby that’s all you need

may i say that this video is a tier or two or three above those previous? sheesh bois. I am really enjoying myself enjoying this. major editing prowess.

bulletproof a car, now that you can make armour and glass.

I hope you guys have protection from shrapnel for those beautiful cameras 😭

Use drywall seam fiberglass tape and wrap some ceramic hexagons floor tile and pour epoxy over it. Also instead of epoxy try bondo to cover the fiberglass tape

You're not supposed to put resin with Kevlar, atleast bullet proof Kevlar plates

This is Your reminder to use mold release

The last 4 digits of his American Express card are 9496

I think it would have worked better if you used mold release

Water jet a lipo! Also, was this filmed in hoble creek canyon?

Kevlar loses it's effectiveness when solidified via resin. It would have been better to have solid first and last level, then keep the middle soft. Or add a ceramic faceplate

What is the artifacting on the slow mo video?

Lean into the gun content, we/youtube viewers love gun content!

R.I.P in peace killed me

So no credit to ZNA for the fiberglass micarta design?

You should try kevlar-tile-kevlar-tile-etc

Kevlar is not very good at stopping a bullet if it is made ridged it needs the give to absorb the force while slowing the bullet down. Your fiberglass panel worked so well because the tile broke the bullet up and the fiberglass was able to catch it. Placing a ceramic tile on the kevlar panels (ither of them) would result in better performance than the fiberglass panel but not by as much as you might thing. Encasing a tile or tiles in layers of fiberglass on both surfaces would break up the bullet as it struck the tile and contain more of the tile allowing for multiple impacts being stopped heavy duty rubber would also work ceramic armor plate are made this way heavy rubber ceramic that is bonded to kevlar

Slow mo shooting a bullet through the water jet!

Dang Danny, you're an engineer. I'm so proud of you. Smooches 💋💋💋 Wow and Bentley? All my buddies are so famous and smarty pants. This is crazy.

The word you were w looking for was delamination.😊

3:30 Should have used those tiles with a lot of small independent squares hanging together on a mesh. If you know what I'm talking about. 😅

Not only you get hit by 556 but you get fibermialga

How many books to stop a bullet

Yo hello everyone the behind angle couldnt be shown rest in peace in peace now peace out until next time

I love you Waterjet channel 💕

by the way you are supposed to put a nice place of metal behing the cevelar just like in real armor

“Inside the pallet” shot: 10/10 I see less of you 😂

What ever happened to the 2 that run this page

Honestly should have used flex caulk

12:05 spells wiglet

13:06 it's ok

Just use the block of wood for armor

why not use a bullet detecting gun turret that shoots the enemy bullet out of the air

Cool

Let's play kevlar jonard rock

3:38 bro didn't have a girlfriend so he used his bro as a girlfriend

10/10 😖

I appreciate the caulk cam but shouldn’t that be like an onlyfans exclusive or something?

Am i crazy or was the caliber not mentioned? I probably missed it like an idiot but I don’t wanna go back through to find it or not. Anyway, what size we talkin here? *edit- i’m smeshschmarted for sure. I deserve the abuse for my ignorance 😂

Pull apart the fiberglass or kevlar and mix it into some ceramic or concrete, so you can make any shape plating

15:33 "That does not make any sense" But it does. The force needed to deform the metal probably caused it to heat up enough to melt the bottle. It's like when you keep bending a paper clip until it breaks and you feel how warm it was, but at least an order of magnitude higher

I had to pause the video to thank you. I too am fighting bullets. My plan is to disrupt their trajectory by bending space time. Do you know where I can buy a gravity generator?

I want more gun stuff

Why dont you show how to make kevlar ?

You wore a mask with the fiberglass, right?

ikr

*bring More than just a book on my trip to Chicago. got it.

meow

9.5/10 angle could show less of you

10/10 view

What happened to the guy who licks stuff?

what happened to the original dudes who ran this channel a few years back

level 3 plates are like 50 bucks tho

PLEASE tell me that he actually broke into some guys house 😭
