Today we're testing a vintage USGI PASGT flak jacket against our 38mm revolutionary war black powder style cannon. Would these vests have helped out in the revolutionary war? Let's find out!

The second shot was a perfect demonstration of how to defeat body armor... The Pelvic Girdle ! lol

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

The stones and the steel balls a bit undersized so they are a little more unpredictable to aim sadly. But seriously. Shoot low. You’ll never know what hit them!

@dwmaddawgs Месяц назад

Someone told me that in Iraq. Never got into direct contact to find out though. They said that it would solve the problem with 5.56 not stopping the enemy because they couldn't walk away. It's not important to kill the enemy, only stop them from shooting at us. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@scottfoster2487 Месяц назад

Rember the squishy organs behind bones, the armour can rupture these from blunt force trauma and be more lethal then penetration.

@knivesiguess Месяц назад

Dude now we need to see you shoot AR500 plate.

@redramage Месяц назад

when testing body armor, it's common to put a mass of clay behind the armor to measure the maximum amount of back face deformation. As you said, the force of the impact here would surely kill the poor victim. Clay would show how far the armor gets pushed into and through the wearer.

*FUN FACT: A cannon loaded with sharpened rebar will go right through a ballistic shield, and multiple armored agents stacked behind it...causing extensive hydrostatic wounding to flesh from the rebar ribs.* Testing has shown that common hallway 2x4 & gypsum board is sufficient to ricochet rebar back towards the center of the hallway. Dry rice makes for an effective "sabot" which guides the rebar straight down the cannon.

Pre-shot prediction: cannon doesn’t penetrate given the size of the round; however, given that the M in F=MV is mass, the target is realistically just as dead.

@redramage Месяц назад

from the sponsored segment with the lifting table: "I could even put the cannon on it". Hmm, someone could make a "disappearing carriage" style mount to fire your cannon safely from inside a fortified position

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Oh I like the way you think... That honestly sounds like something they should have had... Lower the guns out of danger while reloading and they pull it back up when in use. You could even hide them to look unarmed if needed.

@redramage Месяц назад

@@TheCannoneer They did have those! Mostly for naval defense batteries, they were counterweighted and eventually hydraulically damped mounts that allowed the gun to be loaded in cover, then raised to fire with only a brief moment of vulnerability while the crew layed the gun. The recoil would swing the gun back down into cover.

@plotholedetective4166 Месяц назад

Mine shoots 8lb bowling balls as its ammo but I think it is technically a mortar due to barrel length. I know it can move an f150 about 4 feet when it smacks it with a ball, also it has enough recoil to separate the bed from a newer f150 if your a dummy and try to shoot it out of the truck..... My insurance does not pay for that apparently which is strange because they covered the gold wing we launched via trebuchet.

@paul.wilkinson Месяц назад

Hey Jonathan. A couple of ideas for you... Chain shot, spider shot and bar shot fired at a mock up canvas and rope rigging on a ship, see if you can cut down a mast. Mount the barrel on a naval gun carriage to see the difference between that and your carriage. Try to sink a small boat on a lake. Try bouncing a cannon ball on the surface of the water. Apparently it makes it hit harder. Hioe these ideas help!

Here's an idea. Take about 4 meters long rebar (About 13 feet), and cut it down to 50cm (~20 inch) segments and some to 25cm (~10 inch) segments, stuff it inside the cannon to the max, with a metal backplate so as to not have the force of the explosion go around the rebar pieces, and check just how thick of a ballistic shield one would require to stop that.

@iaintfraidofnowoke Месяц назад

Unless you are standing behind a shield that fully covers the whole body with a good distance between you and the armor, it's best not to be shot at by anything from a firearm. There are people who will advertise their armor in vehicles or for the body who will play the guinea pig. There's always the chance for error. If you put enough powder charge without creating everpressurization in that barrel, you can sabot a hard enough round to penetrate any of the highest rated worn body armor on the market.

From front to back, it's pork chops to simulate a pectoral muscle, then followed by pork ribs, then a bag of oranges to simulate lung tissue, then more pork ribs behind that, and then as always, behind that, the high tech fleece bullet stop. If you do choose to use this method, you should give him and his channel a shout out. He's an amazing guy and an absolute legend here on RU-vid.

I read a story about a guy back in the day who was hunting elephants in south central Africa, don't remember what country. Maybe Zambia. He was using a black powder 4 bore. His rifle bearer double charged it. As in, thinking the gun was empty when it was in fact loaded, the guy loaded it a second time. He went to shoot an elephant and the gun didn't blow up, but it broke his shoulder and dropped him like a rock. His shot didn't do the job, so he was crippled and had an angry elephant after him. I don't remember they guys name, but the author of the book is Peter Hathaway Capstick. He has a lot of good books. Just to think though... a quarter of a pound of lead for a 4 bore... that's a projectile!

Haha! I can buy it myself with my own lunch money! 😂🤣

You've said that type of cannon was used to clear decks of ships, I want to see it clear a deck of targets.

Ok!

Would be cool to find a proofed higher carbon cuirass to test this on, try and make a donation page to afford one, a 1780s one would be used by cavalry and earlier ones with tassets would be widespread so would be cool to see how often or how likey someone could survive roundshot or some sort of cabister shot

We can recreate that famous Napoleon wars one with the hole straight through it!

Need to have you do a collab with garand thumb would be cool to see.

Agreed!

I would like to see a plate carrier take the lead ball square on. I expect it'd push the plate right through the person carrying it.

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Ok! I can make that happen one of these days!

@AXXEMEASE Месяц назад

Could you try to make rpg style spring-loaded fins for the 38mm 3dprint shells!? That would be awesome, also I blame you that I'm up at 5 in the morning before work looking at cool videos keep it up man!

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

I’ll see what I can find and thanks! Hopefully work isn’t too bad for you but I do appreciate you watching!

Even if it doesn't Penetrate the armor , the blunt force trama would probably kill you .

Even if it stops it, the blunt force trauma would probably crush your ribcage in any case.

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Oh for sure. There’s no way you’d make it. I’ll revisit this one with a gel torso one of these days.

I’m interested to see a comparison of stone, lead, and iron projectiles against a steel plate. If safety permits

@Jormungandr633 Месяц назад

I’m also curious about a comparison between 0° armor and sloped armor. Like 60°

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

I can do both! I plan on making an iron side replica wall and that will be a perfect one for it!

@987jasy Месяц назад

I love your videos so very much! How did you even get the cannon in the first place? Like licenses, propellant that kind of thing. Also I have an idea for something to send down range

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

We actually built it! There’s a video on the channel about it if you’re interested. Anyway, the ATF doesn’t consider it to be a regulated firearm and it falls under the black powder category so no license needed in most states.

@987jasy Месяц назад

@@TheCannoneer well in that case, you are an incredible engineer. I'll definitely watch how to make the cannon as it's interesting! Many others use off the shelf firearms, but never have I seen a cannon being used. Also, thank you for replying 😄
