KelTec's New Tiny Shotty vs. Brilliantly Built Homemade Body Armor!!! 

Kinda sucks he didnt work his way up this time.

I have a feeling Mere was rushing this video.. he didn't work his way up, and there was no epic montage. Maybe it wasn't his fault 🤔

@@BLF-qr7ng u good?

@@dustinpaul312 it does seem like he was rushing

Yep, the black one did the best, and to me, it was sized for testing purposes, but could easily be scaled up to torso size. When it comes to even possibly getting hit by bullets, I'd want maximum protection from becoming ventilated.

Seconded! The black one was impressive enough to show proof of concept.

Well said cohort, Matt got content from it, at least give the guys some swag.

Def swag em up

@@jreyman true but I think what he was saying was if they made it larger it would be way to impractical due to how heavy it would be with all the non nutonium fluid lol

Same tho I'd probably take a 870 cause u can bayonet that also

Tho its not a option

Depends on the ammunition, also you can pretty much put a bayonet on everything with the great power of zip ties and duct tape, I'd honestly take the 12 gauge if I got choice of ammunition. Actually screw that I chose my truck!

Yeh I agree I would choose garand

Definitely, go for collaterals with that big ol round. Cod strats

In a house defo the shotgun with SG’s !

🤔🥃😂🚬👍 I agree sir

Plus bayonet.

Sure but don't forget your shooting a moving target, either at distance with a scope or close range with the irons, rememebr MOVING TARGET. Shooting a moving target isn't like the movies.

@@raynman6466 absolutely good Sir. I have a KSG and AR10 . 2 choices of guns vs 100 zombies. I think I would use the advantage of long range as long as possible. But just my pick. Like I mentioned. I prefer different firearms. For different occasions.👍🏻🥃😁

Lol! My thoughts exactly!

LOL

i think they are pretty cool and i can see the smaller one being used by cqb groups

I'm convinced they think gunsmithing is an artistic endeavor rather than an engineering one.

I have a ton of Keltecs and I love em. I have an su16e, sub2000 9mm, plr16, pmr30, rfb308, rdb 5.56, ksg 12, a pf9, and a p17. They’re some of the best running guns I own. My favorite is definitely the rdb

@@LawTaranisExcept they actually work for those that actually have the Gen 2+ and actually trains with them. It’s hard respecting opinions of those that have never( Owned and Trained) with them. However, evolution and marketing should be both or how else are gun or anything is to evolve 👀

@@dking6412 the fuck are you on about, mate?

The fiber technician could have thought of mixing hard and soft metal plates though. Outer layer hard to stop the bullet, inner layer soft to keep fragments out of the body 👀

A mag tube will always be more reliable than drums. Drums are notorious for failing and jamming.

That ksg 25 holds as many as the biggest drum for a saiga. And will feed 1000x more reliably.

@@DeagleGamesTV it's also a pump which is again an order of magnitude more reliable. The less moving parts, the less there is to break.

Propaganda

it reload quicker

'murica F**** YEAH!

As a financially deficient American, so am I XD

as a european.... im getting myself a garand i just wish they werent so goddamn pricy over here :D

spas 12 too?

@@ThunderbirdAnthares You are lucky if you live in a country that got them as military aid in 50s or 60s, in Finland they are about as rare as sober scotsman and about as expensive as swiss watches.

Omg you’re right… I didn’t even realize. He owes us that montage now

I was genuinely sad too!

You might as well be a walking concrete bunker at that point

I don't want to pay to that to him either. lol.

I agree with you but if there is nothing left and that is all you have at least it works

Agreed! Hit em with da 50!

Lol this is a good idea and pretty interesting….plus i wanna see shit explode

This, or some variation of this. Hell yeah!

He has done that before. I'm not sure why he didn't do it this time

wich one the bullet stops in wins lol

Same bro

Shoots through 20 zombies at once if you funnel them through the gate.

Also, can use as a club if they get close.

Amen and pass the ammo brother. Who needs close range when you can just pick them off with ease.

30-06 yes sir, Just picked up 70 blacktips last week. Yummy

Hmmmm? Not likely that this is a scam..........

First gun you ever shot? That’s like eating desert before dinner.

Not just faster reload, but also much more accurate and powerful at longer range meaning you can start shooting them sooner

@@archeverything I know, I was so spoiled lol on my first time, my first hand gun I ever fired right after the Garand, was a 1911 from WWII as well.

Now we're talking.

W

Thats not the question

Definitely the Garand. Im not letting them get close enough to use a shotgun effectively.

Same length barrel so accuracy will be very close. My ks7 is deadly out past where I'd usually not fire past

Aww, KOTH… Miss it! RIP Hank!

To be fair it never said it was rated the ar500 plates are rather thin for nij level 3a

"Thinking quickly, the boy constructs a shoota out of some string, a grot, and a shoota"

Hey man, its a smart trick. No one knows its dynamite if you put the toilet roll over it.

For sure he stoped the most , he needs to remember not everyone has unlimited budgets like him probably why he made a smaller thicker plate , materials aren’t free

yeah i felt bad for em but he still did amazing none the less

It’s the more complicated one and it’s hard to scale up. And it even managed to stop a 9m right next to the slug hit.

I'll second that motion. Can't punish the guy by suddenly enforcing arbitrary specs that didn't exist prior to the video.

But if it is to expensive and compliceted to make a full sized plate, what usefulllness does it have as a homemade armor? Right, none! As a proof of concept: fine. Winner? Hardly. But yeah, guy deserved something for his work. But this is how the world goes. One price, one winner.

Looked like Kevlar from a tight buffered cable with mule tape. I hope it wasn’t zip chord or Matt is going to have a lot glass in his finger from digging around in those holes 😬

Well get a loom and make actual cloth out of it.

Creator here I figured out while building it the zip cord would be pretty much useless compared to the muletape. There's too many gaps a bullet can slip through without hitting the kevlar strands. Your better off with more layers of muletape, duct sealant, and the metal insert plates from an OLT than the excessive thickness of the patch cords. I only used the fiber patch cords to tell the difference between the as-is and hardened steel versions. I also liked it for the iconic look that I figured other techs would catch on to.

Practice makes perfect.

@JJ Shorts 🅥 no one cares

I like how the first thing he does is put the gun barrel in his mouth

I own an RDB and I'd put it in that category as well.

Kel-Tec guy is the mad scientist of weaponry for every 5 firearms he produces 1 is at least B tier or above.

Most kel tec guns are ingenious

About the Peruvian marching powder...they ARE in Florida. As far as their products, I love my PMR30 and I *need* that KSG.

Plr 16 was a good gun. Ahead of its time

It's hard to say, why would they use an expensive ar500 plate to Form the armor, except they actually bought a ar500 armor plate to get the scale right. I don't think the slug would have went through with an ar500 armor plate in it, except the heat treatment did ruin the plate.

@@mammutMK2 naw there is no steel or it. It is 90 layers of plain weave carbon fiber. Formed with an ar500 plate to give it the shape and shooters cuts

Can’t wait to make my escape while the zombies chew you up

M1 Garand any day of the week. For the sexy factor 😜

Yeah, if it'd been the 25 I feel like that's a no brainer, but if he insists on the tactical I'd take the M1.

Had a KSG and sold it. It was a piece of junk and had issues loading rounds when pumped. They are overpriced shoddy quality

And the unlimited ammo is only useful with the M1. After all, the KSG is still a kel-tec.

Some of them are a little cringe like this one.

The intro was a pretty good recreation of the liquor store scene in Superbad(pretty clear giveaway with the "Mclovin from Hawaii" bit), but that chocolate gun was what really made me laugh.

@@dragonlord222197 I skipped through it before I got to the chocolate part. Then again I never finished superbad either

They're awful.

@@joshuagibson2520 some of them are very cringe

@B Linares he asked him if he knew that matt wasn't old enough...that's why he sold him the chocolate 1911

Same here my family loved it, and set up for home defense and just fun.

Since zombies aren’t real the data must come from movies. Shotguns do better in zombie movies.

@@technophant Guns in movies have unlimited ammo apparently, so yes... Shotguns do win.

However!!! Based on Call Of Duty Games the M1 Grand has the best reload speed to take on way more than 20 zombies and the penetration gives you more than 1 kill per bullet. 😁🤣

@@josevazquez4742 but are we packing them?

@@technophant I beg to differ. Have you ever seen what comes into a Hosptial Emergency Room from 8pm to 4AM?

Nah, just gotta go for headshots. I'm taking the Garand for reloading. I can reload the Garand multiple times in the time it'll take to reload the KelTec once

You do realize that the .30-06 would absolutely annihilate the human brain correct? Like, it could easily puncture a human (And therefore zombie) skull. The shotgun may have spread, but not as much as many video games would have folks believe.

After a .30-06 there really isn't gonna be much head to speak of.

A 30-06 fmj would do enough damage to a human/zombie head for a 1 tap guaranteed kill, but you slap some expanding rounds in it and there'd be zombie brain matter raining from the trees for a solid 10 seconds after impact.

@@avgoalie01 depends what kind of zombies. If they're Walking Dead Zombies, I'd rather find a nearby stick and bash their fragile heads to save ammo. If they're World War Z zombies, good luck shooting the head when they're fast as fk.

First thing I thought of when I saw the tie was, it should have been a fish tie. Lol

Im certain he did a video like that a while back

i havent gotten a chance to play snooker yet but i am starting to upload vids doing practice and races, mostly 9 ball.

They did play pool with guns in the past

That's the info I was scrolling for.

youll need a tax stamp to *legally* own one

It is, it has a 13.7" barrel according to manufacturer specs. So unless you can get the tax stamp, not a great idea lol

When I bought my KSG tactical years back it came with a legal size 16" barrel but everything else is like you see here. It basically comes ready for you to chop the barrel short

@@Stewmiester86 Shotgun barrel minimum length is 18" . KSG tactical has 18.5" barrel.

I hear he can be all thumbs…

it can poke in to the skin on the hands, but it doesnt "go inside you" through your hands. youd have to breathe the dust in to get "internal damage" cause its bad for the lungs. source: ive worked with glass fibre for years

@@darealrulezbreaker9493 This feels similar as to him shooting glass orbs some time ago. Kept on breathing it in and started to sneeze a lot. I may misremember him accidentally cutting himself, but that could be something that can happen in the future. In summary, don't mess around with glass.

And will shot the mini shell's to

Dimensions is a factor, like he said anything is bullet proof if you stack up enough of it. He did say practically the black one was basically useless as a plate. A 2 inch plate on your chest is going to hinder so much your just a easy target. And holy fuck the weight of that thing full front and back coverage fuck no.

@@atk9989 a guy made the best rated homemade body armor, but not in a chest sized dimension, and it would’ve been heavier. Like all higher rated body armor, but this was homemade, so expectedly heavier…sorry, I forgot I was online for a second and realized everyone wants to argue insignificant shit 😂😂

@@atk9989 and the thickness is a hilarious argument. Look up lightweight rifle rated plates. Thick as it gets man.

@@525medic Dude it had a quarter inch of AR-500 in it. That's basically cheating.

i can hit a 8 inch plate at 500 yards with iron sights with the 30-06 so i am on your side there dude

The intro is a “super bad” reference

Watching the slide slam itself into battery must give you nightmares then ?. Which has more force, a recoil spring or 9mm projectile ?.

@@element-dh9dx Well no, it’s a transfer of energy. Hitting the slide release to chamber a round means the force is going into the round and not just hitting the wall of the slide. I mean do what you want with your own guns, but I wouldn’t do it to guns I don’t own.

@@Thickamus_Jones Or I'm talking about shooting the gun, that makes more force on the slide than hitting a slide release. Right before you feel recoil the slide has compressed your recoil spring and has now slammed all the way back home, with a lot more force than it does going the other way. We're talking 10 lbs of pressure on the spring vs, whatever the recoil is. This is why we need to keep a solid grip on it, otherwise may drop it. Hitting the slide release does not create felt recoil, is my point. Plus, I have never heard of a gun being ruined from doing this, it just can't happen with a poly lower with metal inserts. I can see if it was like a 3 thousand dollar 1911, then I also wouldn't like to shoot it.

sounds like nonsense

Can switch. So cool. I

Yeah I just wish they could find a way to put a foregrip on that thing

Garand has 6 rounds, I think a saiga with mags would be better.

@@tetraxis3011 8 round clips homie. If your going ww2 era. M2 carbine would likely be the better pick.

@@tetraxis3011 And since they come in clips, it's way more efficient to reload than shoving in shell after shell in the KSG.. 20 zombies, maximum 3 clips you need since they come in 8 round clips, compared to at least fumbling around with 10 shells with the KSG before the last 10 zombies comes at you. In a defensive position where you hold a door or two, the short KSG wont matter the slightest. Garand any day.

I think this depends. Are we talking about the fast moving zombies like we've seen from the Dawn of the Dead or we talking slow moving zombies from the Walking Dead? Then the next question, are the zombies killed from a brain shot like in most zombie movies, or are the zombies merely infected people who will still die from normal trauma wounds? Are we facing zombies like that from Return of the living dead part 1 where they don't die from brain shots? Not a bad question Burt.... I think the type of zombie will weight in heavily as to what type of firearms or weapons that will be better suited.

@@PantsuMann fun fact, the ksg isn't new and there's 3 different models. The count in the tube depends on the size of the shell ya use, if memory serves the biggest model can hold like 24 2in shells

@Jurtez Lupa The fiber material is what caught the round. It still went through the steel and the fiber material is different between the two.

Creator of the "Fiber Technician Special" here, It was the Same Material, Same setup, Same Weaving. I used OLT insert plates, duct sealant and muletape as the primary materials. The only real difference was the Yellow wrapped one didn't get hardened/heat treated steel, and it also got fiber cable wrapping so it would be easier to tell the 2 apart. I asked them if I could send in 2 separate versions cause I purposely wanted to know if the steel hardening process will help or if it's just a waste of time and effort. Unfortunately I don't what type of metal composition it is, just know it was magnetic. All the metal came from blank insert cards on an Adtran TA5000 OLT Also the process I used was pretty basic forging, coal campfire pit and a fan to blow it. Heated it up til it demagnetized and quenched it vegetables oil. Then stuck in an oven at 400° for 3hrs I believe. Tried to keep everything as true to my theme as I could, if you found yourself out in fiber hut could you make practical homemade body armor. So I'm sure someone with a real forge and some real experience would have done a better job on the steel hardening part than I did, but it was my first time attempting such a thing.

@@woodntuliktano Not knowing what type of steel it is, is huge. So for example A36 steel, which is the most popular structural steel. It does not matter how hot or how long you heat it and how you quench it. It will still be very close to the same hardness after. While a lot of other steels just need to be heated to their transition temp and quenched in oil. And then some steels need very specific steps done while heating and quenched almost perfectly when it comes to cooling time and how even they are cooled. Also the bake at 400 degrees May have gotten rid of most of any hardness you got from heat treat. And this is all in guessing that you had non hardened steel to begin with. I recommend doing a file test next time, if you try again. You can also get hardness testing file sets if you wanted to get more into it.
