The tailor deserves more credit. It's one thing to create a lightweight bulletproof material, but it's another to turn it into a stylish suit that actually looks good. That's half the battle! I have been sewing for 15 years now so I can clearly see what a marvel of tailoring this is. Tailoring by itself is already one of the most difficult sewing skills. But to do it with Kevlar? That's another level.

@theHacksmith Год назад

*ADDITIONAL INFO:* *#1:* This video is not intended, nor provided as a guide for fabricating bullet-resistant composites. It is a HIGHLY technical field, and both the fabrics and testing cost tens of thousands of dollars to do -- and we still didn't get good enough results or data to bet our lives on. If you require armor, buy it from a reputable manufacturer who has external testing performed by the National Institute of Justice. *#2:* There is SO much more we could have included in this video -- if you want to learn more, consider becoming a member to see the extended cut ► ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8COMOcllvlQ.html *#3:* Even though our suit stopped the bullets, if I had worn the suit, I would likely have broken most of my ribs, and possibly died anyway. Bulletproof vests and suits are NOTHING like how they are portrayed in the movies, and especially not the way it is portrayed in John Wick. A thin bullet proof suit is physically impossible. It doesn't matter if you can "stop" the bullet -- the impact energy HAS to go somewhere. And that somewhere is your body. This is why most bullet proof vests and plate armor is so thick -- thickness helps distribute and absorb the impact energy from the bullet. A thin super strong material does not. In fact, there's a good chance that if a super thin bullet proof material existed, you would actually sustain MORE damage to your body, than the bullet simply passing through you. *#4:* UMP5 not MP5 -- Video cut wasn't specific in the final edit -- the Vector shot 9mm FMJ rounds, not .45ACP, we tested that way because 9mm have more penetration power than .45ACP. No .45ACP rounds were shot in this video. The Vector is the closest equivalent to the UMP5, which isn't available in Canada. We also did not test 9mm hollow points, because again, those are easier to block with soft armor. *#5:* Leave any more questions below, and I might do a livestream in the next few days covering your questions!

The thing about that is tailors are artist themselves and have a vision, it may look perfect for us but not for them, i feel her emotions discussing the style and aestethic of the suit with the kevla, you can really tell she likes it to be more stylish but the material is not giving her enough to work with and as an artist that's frustrating

Finding a way to sell these suits). You could also split the projects up. Do an initial first pass on an idea. Make a video about it. If it gains enough traction you can put effort into a second pass that’s even cooler with a second video. It lessens the risk and keeps the ideas within scope. Best of luck you guys.

Very cool! I loved the whole research and all, in trying to achieve a "mission impossible". But...there's this thing I know in Dutch as a maliënkolder, translated a "chain mail" (if correct). Which in a translation to today's tech and all could be a layered composition of carbon-fiber plates, with a thin layer of dampening foam behind it. A bit like a fish - a skin of scales. This to spread the forces in play and to keep one's ribs in one piece. That was the thought I had all along all experiments and testing of all kevlar fabrics, woven or not, composites etc. Slowing down the bullet and its kinetic energy is the key here. Keeping the whole thing flexible enough is a second thing. The scales-approach in the combination with what your team did already, could make it close to bullit-proof.

@jackmorris4099 3 месяца назад

*UMP5 shoots .45ACP -- sorry for the typo! The rest of the video is correct. We only tested with 9mm FMJ rounds since they have more penetration power than a 45. Vector was the closest equivalent to an UMP5 in Canada, which is why we use it for testing. Also, we could have cheated and used hollowpointd, but we didn't 😊 If you need armor, check out Premiere Body Armor ► www.premierbodyarmor.com/hacksmith They have certified slim bullet proof vests that you can easily wear under a suit! Which makes a lot more sense than a suit you can't even dry clean! (because you'd damage the kevlar and dyneema).

One thing to keep in mind is even if you have a vest that could stop bullets, it would hurt more than a traditional vest, and likely result in broken bones and internal bleeding. In the movie he takes the impacts, but in real life you would be in trouble and on the ground from any shot.

@paulos5318 Год назад

@aoyuki1409 Год назад

@@paulos5318 physics dont lie. the plastic absorbed the bullet's energy but because nothing happened to the plastic means that the plastic transferred the bullet energy to you. bulletproof vests works by absorbing the bullet force, and spreading it across a bigger area so you dont feel as much pain (or they try to fully absorb the energy and warp themselves which if u push too far will fail like the standard vest in the vid). yeah wearing this suit and getting shot will not kill you but you're definitely in a world of pain and possibly multiple bruising and broken bones. its like getting poked really hard with a really blunt pole every time u get shot.

That's actually really really impressive that a civilian team was able to make a bulletproof vest that works just as well or better than a certified military issued vest. You guys definitely blew my mind with this one!

@cooperbaxter8068 Год назад

Not to be too pedantic, but calling it "certified military issue" is a little misleading. The vest used in the video was level 2 soft body armor. Level 1's aren't even sold anymore. Level 2A is the only rating lower than 2, and it's quite rare. Most police departments issue level 3A at a minimum, and level 3 frequently. The US military uses a different rating system than the NIJ, but the issued armor is roughly on par with level 4 by the NIJ standard. The US Army's IOTV, (Improved Outer Tactical Vest) has a NIJ equivalent rating of 3A, without even having the armor plates in it. In other words, the direct comparison in the video was to the almost weakest body armor commercially available. A level that is considered too low for most police work, except in low crime areas. The standard issue military body armor has a higher rating without even having its plates in. More typical users of level IIs are small time night security workers, mall cops, or journalists - people who don't expect to actually get shot at so comfort is a priority. I'm not trying to say that it wasn't an impressive accomplishment - it absolutely is. The suit was both incredibly stylish and effective against small rounds. Even better it was but together by a group who don't typically make armor. But at the same time the vest is a lower rating than my issued helmet, and far below issued body armor. You must recall that for the suit, they essentially took the materials already typically used in soft body armor, and shaped them differently. Hopefully this didn't come across as patronizing, or like I'm trying to correct you. My intention is to share knowledge on the subject I thought you might find interesting. Body armor and ballistics really are fascinating subjects.

@TheMNWolf Год назад

It's an interesting design challenge. The old school thought behind armor is to spread out the area of force, turning a puncture into just an impact. To do that, you need something rigid like metal plates. Instead, you're doing something more akin to catching the bullet with a drop cloth. Which leads to something about the John Wick movies that I really love; John gets the everloving snot beat out of him. Sure, there's no bullet wound, but he's still limping.

@rachelblake2350 Год назад

There was a fantastic little moment in Chapter 4 (right after he dispatches the last henchman in the nunchuck sequence) where he swings through, then immediately stumbles because he's had seven shades of shit beaten out of him. Such a realistically vulnerable moment that does so much to humanise the character.

@Ryan-ob6gp Год назад

I'm sure it's been often conceived, but I like to think that some kind of rigid plating shirt would go underneath this - less to stop the bullet and more to do exactly the one job this suit doesn't - spread out the force. heck even rigid leather plating would take some of the sting out of being punched full force by a bullet.

@mw2zorzest Год назад

To be fair there's different types of armour, ceramic plate armour is a little different for example, having significantly worse durability, often only able to stop a couple of shots, but it has much less 'pointed' impact, deformation if you will, as it's made to shatter and spread the force out instead of trying to stop it straight away, however it's also significantly heavier and more cumbersome, kevlar is relatively light and more durable, being able to stop many bullets assuming the structure of the kevlar itself is not too damaged, so 'metal plates' are not the only way to stop a bullet, but there's always trade-offs to different types and the only material, other than of course compounds currently still being researched, that currently could be used to make a suit like this, which, is awesome btw.
