Film Theory: Is Hitman's Bulletproof Skin POSSIBLE? 

thesuicidefox yeah, I'd rather have armor over my skin. you know, where I don't feel pain.

Javier Beltran you would still feel pain on impact. Although i'm not sure how big the difference in pain would be, but i'm pretty sure it wont be significant as you skin probably wasn't reducing much of the damage from a bullet shot anyway.

Joshua Lee idk, never seen the shit. If it distributes the force then I don't think it'd be that painful. But then again it could act like a trampoline. Again I've done zero research.

***** makes sense.

Joshua Lee To get through to the sub-dermal armor, it actually needs to GO THROUGH your epidermis. :/ That's going to be painful. Nothing serious, though, probably... maybe a cut and a bruise there. If it's a large enough caliber, maybe a broken bone, if it's in the right place?

@@olp3850 yes but that doesn't mean it's completely dispersed. You'd still break a couple if not a lot of bones since there's no padding to slow the bullet down. The only thing slowing the bullet down is your flesh and bones.

@@theremixer9839 dude its the strongest armor in the game

@@theremixer9839 stronger than you at least

Is that also just a theory or could it really be proven? (if anyone would actually have graphene put under their skin)

Not proven, persay, but the principles are scientifically proven. In reality you'd need to test and make sure the graphene was think enough to carry the massive current of a lightning bolt enough that your body would go unharmed. If it was too thin, you'd still be toast.

Would it be possible to have it thick enough to carry the current or would it be too thick to even have under skin?

That actually wouldn't happen. Sure it's highly conductive, but it's hot. *VERY **_VERY_** HOT.* You would die, not from the shock, but from the temperature of the air surrounding the bolt.

By the way, lighning is 30,000 Kelvin. The Sun? 6,000 Kelvin.

Well... No. Titanium is, while very light, is still too heavy, and also, while stronger than ordinary steel, its not really strong enough

GlaciusTS To be honest, I thought John Smith had liquid silicon armor. It's a liquid armor with slightly charged silicon dissolved in it. Upon any kinetic impact would result in the charged silicon to displace a little and attract each other to the point of the impact creating a bullet proof wall. Being implemented in light clothes like business suits.

Plus, humans regenerate skin, so eventually, all of the skin would fall off, causing the armor to be shown, then eventually pop.

+Dudebro Gaming That would only happen if the armor was under just the dead skin cells that are currently on the surface. I assume this armor would be behind the living, regenerating layer, which means that new skin should still grow on the outside of the armor. He would need openings for blood flow and such to get to the living cells on the outside of the armor for that to work, though, or it would just die off..

@Jake Render, it's too thin to see, so if I put it on you would see right through it. Someone stealing it is a small matter that isn't a big issue as long as you can find a way to protect it when it's not being worn. You could wear a suit underneath the graphene for insulation, or even some rubber underneath it to protect from any electrical shocks from its super-conductive properties.

+Daniel Havlat The tests on graphene that the video mentions says that graphene spreads out the force of bullets to stop them. So as far as your "the material would need to spread the force of the bullet impact..." line goes, it does do exactly that.

+LegendofSleek Yes, but on what scale? If the spread is minimal it can mess you up pretty good, especially with higher caliber or heavier bullets. Nearly everything spreads the impact of a bullet, while some do it vastly better than others.

+Daniel Havlat it does i think it spreads the energy over the whole outer layer of his body

not exactly, shotgun "shot" is a bad example, the energy IS significant, but spread over a large area. Bullets condense the "energy dump" into a smaller area.

and serious armor, such as bomb disposal types, would straight laugh at buckshot. Like trying to kill someone by angrily throwing skittles at them. Slugs on the other hand, would at least knock them on their ass. Armor being heavy as fuck, and the energy transfer would unbalance them, if not breaking through

Also electronic conductivity could interfere with the ships electricity

TheVeryShyguy people would still die because if the space ship goes from 10000mph to 0 in a couple of seconds your face is going to smash into the internal walls at about 3000mph that will kill

+φ First-order logic And let's not forget that unlimited flexibility would allow a good, chunky bullet to still hit the guy hard enough to break his bones or something, since it would only prevent penetration, but not really be safe against impact

The impact is the one damaging you. If you shoot a person wearing kevlar you are bruising him because it dosent take 100% of the impact. With graphite however....

Adrian Ftw With graphite he is wearing pencil lead lol. Graphene is the wonder material.

Nathan Hayes he way scientists get graphene is I kid you not to stick sellotape to graphite and pull it off

So, the way I see it, hydrostatic shock would still cause some form of internal damage given that the video states, "Graphene will bend, but won't break". Hence the graphene would carry the energy into the body (granted, at a much, MUCH smaller amount) but I would imagine the water in your cells would still carry the energy over and, with enough bullets or with big enough bullets (say, going from .45 ACP rounds in Agent 47's Silverballers to a .308 round rifle round)m I'd imagine internal organ rupturing would still be possible. Plus, the graphene bends. Meaning it would still be pushed into your body from the bullet impact which I'd imagine would be horrifically painful. Anyone smart know if that's correct or if I'm just talking out of my ass? :P

Yes, I was looking for that comment.

It's nice to see science-y people are here

but isnt your skin touching your muscles? if you had the carbon stuff that was touching your skin AND your muscles, and you were struck by lightning, your muscles would be fried with your skin and because your body is 70% water and the electricity would jump from one vital organ to the other in seconds and i sound like matpat.

yeah just because its bulletproof doesn't mean it stops electrify flowing through your body. if anything it helps the electricity flow through your body

Trash Nasty No, no it doesn't help electricity flow through your body. It's far easier for electricity to flow through metal than through your body, so that's what it does. A suit of metal (or any conducting material) saves your body by offering electricity an easier path with less resistance. The lightning will go AROUND your body. The suit will get really hot from the passing electricity, though, and will burn you. Possibly, fatally so. That's still a better chance of survival than you get from electrocution.

+Ryan Novack Indeed, it would act as a Faraday cage. Since electrical charges repel each other they never move into the inside of a conductive container as that would bring them closer to the charge on the other side. Electricity can run along the outside but never pass to the inside. Since this is sub-dermal armour we're talking about this also means you'd be unaffected by tasers and other electrical based stun weapons because the charge never reaches your muscles and so they never seize up. Lightning strikes passing through a person can cause nasty burns as the electricity is converted to other energy types when forced through an inefficient conductor. But with graphene sub-dermal armour much less of the strike would be converted to heat and it's possible you could walk away reliably from such strikes without so much as a burn or a single muscle spasm.

+Jerickjv And then you have a heart attack and they can't bring you back because of the armor. Boom! Irony.

+RomulessI And if you survived the heart attack, they wouldn't be able to operate to give you a pace maker or even check up on your heart (because I doubt MRIs, Xrays, or even ultrasound would get past the graphene). The armor that keeps knives and bullets away from your heart will also keep the scalpel from doing much more than scratching the skin unless the seams are in the right place, but let's face it, if there are seams, they would be nowhere near the heart or any vital.

+MISTAKEWASMADE4live I don't think so. I haven't done any calculations, so if you have some to back up your statement your might be right, but the resistance of graphene is much lower than the resistance of your body. Obviously it probably wouldn't be a walk in the park, but at WORST there would be less heat generated than if you were struck without the graphene. likely there would be very little heat generated in the graphene itself. I would expect there to mainly be heat at the entry point of the strike and the exit point. If you were standing on the ground and conducting to ground in that way and the lightning struck your head, the skin would be singed on your head between the outer layer of skin and the graphine, the electricity would zip down the graphine to your foot with little resistance, then exit your foot and there would be singing between the graphine and the outer layer of your skin where it exits. All in all a much less traumatic experience than without graphene.

+Ryan Novack Surviving a lightning strike? With your nice subdermal faraday cage you'll probably be fine except for one major detail that I just thought of; the properties that make something a good conductor of electricity also make something a good conductor of heat. Turns out graphene might be the best thermal conductor on the planet. This means if the lightning strike delivered enough heat at any point on your body to burn you that heat would very quickly be spread evenly across the underside of your skin. Additional possible downsides include the fact that clothes are useless (at least thermally speaking). Clothes help keep your chest warm, your chest is where most of the body heat is generated and has the lowest tolerance for cold. With sub dermal graphene heat would bleed from your extremties as normal but would instantly(or at least fast enough to feel instant) be replaced by heat from somewhere else on your skin. You will always be as cold as the coldest part of your body. But don't worry the next bit should make the coldest part of your quite warm; Any heat from anything be it a blow torch, a cigerate or a warm meal that touches your skin will rapidly be evenly distributed across it. For small heat sources that if was otherwise concentrated into a single point would be harmful, this is beneficial for everything else it is bad. Sticking your hand into a fire could give you third degree burns all over your body. Sensing temperate at all could be become tricky and surprisingly temperature is actually a big part in being able to tell if your actually touching something or not.

Graphene is fantastic at distributing energy out across its surface, as I discuss in the latest video on my channel. For that reason it probably wouldn't hurt as much as you might think.

The kinetic energy in bullets isn't actually that much. It's only because the bullet's small that it goes in. A bullet has about the same energy as a dude jogging at you.

That's true for small arm's fire but not so much for heavier arms fire. it's one of the reasons you need a higher grade vest to stop it like a dragon skin body armor vest with the ballistic steel or ceramic plates.

Thane36425 Could you use a non Newtonian fluid to oppose blunt force? If you increase force of bullet, the viscosity (ability to resist change) increases.

Also the bullets would still puncture the skin, so he'd be bleeding all over anyway. Luke Cage doesn't bleed because his skin is bulletproof, but if the bulletproof layer is under the skin, the skin is going to be damaged by the bullets.

That's how you know a channel has variety.
