That gel slap was weak. Just saying 🤷‍♂️

The back plate is actually pretty thin titanium, grade 5. Most of the weight is from the ceramic tiles and the varieties of resins. I added the ceramics toward the end after not being able to find a better material and giving up on firing my own ceramic tiles (mixed my own clays from local craft stores and fired them in a microwave kiln you can easily order online). Everything I use is available at local stores or online and I'm able to modify or create in my shop. For test plates I like to maximize the area which is why I don't bother shaping them to fit carriers. My next project is an attempt to meet level III with a homemade flexible armor.

Matt throwing a knife at a gel block next to his feet and then looking surprised when it almost impales him...classic. It's a good thing he was safely behind the cinderblock wall of dangerous foolishness.

"Your kevlar is gonna expire very, very quickly if you hit it with a rifle round." It and I have that in common.

I wanted to see if Mikey could climb that tree 😂

Congrats to Michael for making to the .50 BMG! That must be a pretty cool feeling to see your homemade armor stop a .308

I think the reason the kevlar "expires" is because it's made to a minimum "military grade" requirement and it doesn't take long for it to degrade just below that minimum requirement. But it will stay reasonably effective for a long-ass time.

By far the most impressive home made armor you have had so far.

FYI, when you put plate steel on your wall, I'd put it behind the cinder blocks. That way the cinder blocks can brake up the bullet and the steel can fully stop the fragments. It's also cheaper to replace a cinder block or two than the plate steel.

I will never ever get tired of these openings

I love this channel since the first episode i watched. I cant get enough. Always entertaining in my opinion. Keep up the good work!!!

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.

Been wondering about this firearm myself. I saw it on fb a couple weeks ago and was like wtf is this cursed gun 😂😂 glad to see Matt got to it before Brandon tore it up lmaoooo

Kevlar doesn't actually expire. They just put a date on it because if they don't have a point where they have to throw it away, then the don't have an excuse buy new stuff. Typically expiration date is more the time period before they think it'll be obsolete.

I love watching these guys in their natural environment

my god I have3 missed you. its been 6 years since i was able to watch your channel and you are still amazing

9:34 “Should’ve been behind our wall. “ as Matt almost shoots through the bullet proof glass at point blank 😂🤣

You should put the plate steel on the inside so if there ever IS an accidental wall strike, you can see it in the concrete.

Fun to see the .308 H&K G3 in the video! It was my old service weapon when I was a storm-trooper in the Norwegian army back in 2003. We had the AG-3 model, though, full-auto :)

That little "Quest For Fire" skit at the intro, was fvcking sublime!

My 4 year old absolutely loved this video. She yelled "3, 2, 1, blast off!" at the top of her lungs when you fired the .50 I get the feeling she would absolutely pee herself if she heard it go off in person. I laugh every time I think about that. Thank you for making family time highly entertaining!

When you started talking about the wall, I immediately thought a video on “how many cinder blocks does it take to stop a 50 cal” would be mentioned hahaha

Bruh I love watching y’all’s videos between you Kentucky, Brandon,and donut I can always count on y’all making me laugh

“This is definitely made for kids, this is a youth gun” Hearing you say that as a British guy is ABSOLUTELY WILD! 😬😮‍💨 Merica!!! 🇺🇸🦅💥🥴

You could tell after the first ten rounds through that strange .22 that Matt was gonna have some fun with it. Thanks, Demo Crew, for the EDUCATIONAL video~!

The beginning of this video was all i needed on this terrible day I was having to put a smile on my face thank you Demoranch.

first time viewer and this was so entertaining and funny .. the last bit when buddy goes running and shooting was hilarious. Had me cracking up

you inspire me and You're my favorite RU-vidr and I always watch your videos love you.

It's crazy the effects that wall has on the acoustics. You can totally hear the impact on the recording.

Make a small hole in the wall that is big enough to have all your gun barrels fit through so you can safely shoot from behind the wall and don't have to leave cover. Then make an armored lock that can block it if you aren't shooting through it but still need protection. Also, love the content and have been a viewer since watching your shooting the world's cheapest gun video 12 years ago.

"Como se Llama?" that was too hilarious and I didn't expect spanish xD "llama a la llama en llamas" (call the llamas in flames LOL)

I feel like if anyone ever comes up with wearable armor that can stop a 50bmg the wearer is going to wish it just hit him. The force that would be exerted onto it has got to be insane.

"Probably made for kids" is a funny thing to say about a gun in a country that banned the sale of small magnetic balls for being too dangerous for kids.

I love the little skits in the beginning of the videos

Love you guys! Keep it up

14:36 That 50. BMG carried on like a wayward son, and there sure was peace when it was done 😊

Gotta say, the home made body armor series is some of my favorite content from you, Matt. Really enjoy it. Thanks for the content! Have a good one!

Anyone else notice the cicadas stopped when he put 50 rounds in the mag. 5:10 They didnt want any of that smoke!

The last mag dump with the 22 sounded like the Whip guy doing his Renaissance fest show lol

I found you when your brother was dealing with his cancer. Truthfully I found you through his channel. I lost my dad then my mom 7mos later both to cancer. Big gun/knife owner. I have fully enjoyed your superb advertisement of HiPoint firearms. 😊 keep the great content coming!

Matt throwing a knife and it rebounding in the end lol. Lucky he moved!

Watching demo ranch while on holiday 🙏🤲🏾

"Hit too low....lets get high" lmfao

weird how they made the charging handle ambidextrous, but not the safety lever.

Glad to hear you’re going to plate the cinderblock wall, that will be much safer than the blocks by themselves.

You need to make the wall a little higher and make some gun ports in it, or make one next to the glass so you can shoot and cover your upper body as well.

I don't even own a firearm but used to shoot a lot when I was younger. I absolutely love shooting different firearms and experimenting. Love the vid.

glad to see matt finally in vesting in some safety measures XD

Might also do some Rhino liner on both sides of the cinder blocks to keep it completely together under the worst of circumstances. That stuff is so Miracle stuff!

4:16 - 4:21 sounds like someone in the distance is saying its never too small hahahaha.

That last scene took you off guard 😂

The ATF watching demo ranch videos to check the progress of homemade body armor so they know how tyrant they need to go: 👀 *quivering with anticipation*

Super cool little pistol. The kids would love it haha. So would I. 😂

Been a fan for years bro and i was starting to doubt ….but this one brought me back my boii …. Need me some targets too😂😂

You need like a suit on with a top hat ! 😂 straight up gangster

Thank you demo for all the good content!

Some of your intros never disappoint, I love it😂

had to lough so hart at the intro lol

I love your shows there fun and you can learn from what you do

The intros get better every time!

I feel like adding a muzzleloader round ball or something similar would be a sweet kick for the ramp up test yall always do.

That was the best intro ever!!!! I’m crying

VIIIIIIIIIKINGGGGGGGSS. Demolition ranch, yall are totally awesome.

Maximum expansion rounds Vs ballistic torso would be awesome!!!

I am never dissatisfied with a good 'ol Demo Ranch Video. This video in particular, made me laugh out loud a bunch. There were multiple quotable moments, including: "We're totally safe" "We're even safer behind this wall" "It's probably made for kids" "If its runs, its probably good" (INSERT COMEDIC "almost shoots through 'safe' wall" MOMENT) And finally: "You get to enter to win a chance to come stay in my AirStream on the abandoned Ranch" I cant wait until the DemoRanchRanch is open for paid stay by reservation. I dream of booking a weekend with my family, or just a weekend out with the boys, and to go stay at that location. Camping, possible hunting, fishing, swimming, hiking, plinking, and even just helping develope the property. It all sounds AMAZING

The end though 😂

Matt is eventually gonna have the whole dictionary of guns 😂

Thanks Matt. Your videos are erratic and fun.

A SUGGESTION: Sand Bags will stop wild shots better then anything. Two layers stacked end to end lengthwise in front of the cinder wall would do the trick. They are cheap, work very well and are easy to replace. Just a thought!

Love that man. Keep filming!

Enjoying the homemade plate tests. Last plate guy should be pretty happy

This seem to work really well! I would totally used it for home, defense. It has light recoil, if it jams, it looks like it is easy to just cycle it manually and keep shooting, and has 50 cartridges to shoot. Imagine if someone is invaind your home and you appear out of the corner of your bedroom with this.

I love how your ranch always looks like a crime scene due to your experiments with ballistic dummies.

Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.

I was really hoping Michaels armor said F U to the .50 😂 I wanted to see Matt's reaction

You should get some plates from Dayton Armor they make polymer plates that are rife rated. The plates are used by the secret service and seals, my dad has a set for work (he is a police sergeant)

That gun is pretty cool and nice to have 50 rounds so you don’t have to reload so much. Good stuff bro

The tart lemonade quenched her thirst, but not her longing.

That intro though 😂😂😂

I've been wanting to do the homemade body armor thing, but at least in my home I don't have anything capable of melting metal at scale (though propane is hot enough to melt aluminum, so it wouldn't be out of the question to whip something up), so I guess I can't make it in my home lol. I did a little reading on the layers of some kinds of ceramic plates, and it seems like some at least use aluminum for the back supporting layer. Denim obviously isn't as dense as kevlar, but it's a relatively dense fabric. Then there's the tiles, the ones in commercial vests from my read typically being some metal impregnated ceramic, but would regular kitchen/bathroom tile work? My plan was/is basically: 1) melt down some pop cans and pour aluminum into a small baking sheet/cake pan. 2) cut some pieces of denim from old jeans to fit, bonding them to each other and the cast aluminum back with epoxy 3) epoxy some ceramic tiles on top of the denim 4) if the baking sheet/cake pan somehow isn't completely stuck pulling the armor out since the intent was more as a mould than another layer. More or less the same idea as modern armor, but also not quite right. Wrong fabric, tiles, and some scrap aluminum cast from melted pop cans rather than a nice forged plate.

I am actually very, very glad to see DemoRanch upping the safety game after that last video. I was truly starting to think things were going to end badly..

"and it weighed more than I anticipated" lol

I love the home brew plate testing :)

Honestly, 3A for the fiberglass one ain't bad, I'd say. Needs more testing, but it might just have a market if it proves a reliable alternative to modern kevlar

It was great to see you using the 10,000 millimeter range. Impressive.

That intro was hella fly!!😂

5:23 "all the other kids with thier pumped up kicks better......" 😂

I have to hand it to you Matt, the rest of social media is crazy. Here, we have a ranch with some guns, wholesome as can be.

16:16 Note to self: dont play trowing knives with a ballistic gel because the gel wins

Homemade armour that stopped a .308? THAT deserves a beer emoji 🍻

You are as crazy as a march hare!!!!!!!!!! I love it! Can't stop watching your vids!!!!!!!!

The intro and thumbnail definitely made me concerned for Matt’s sanity. But then I remembered this is Matt, and he lost his sanity a couple years ago. I still question his actions.

You say the same thing I do when I think I've run out of ammo, "Oh no!"

Ok now Mere has to go to the store for a bunch of bananas🤣🤣🤣

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

You wearing the viking hat that way is like a gangster viking😂😂

hey matt you and your pals videos have inspired me to purchase my first guns i came home with a springfield ronin 1911 in .45 and a ruger american in 9mm cheers to you for great videos looking forward to the next

Ooo man best intro so far (but haven't seen all) still laughing need to concentrate on video noow

🇨🇦 I love the chime when the clock strikes 50 o'clock
