In this video I am testing several whips from the Castlevania series to see how they perform and how they compare to one another. These are 2 Morningstar type whips and 1 Vampire Killer. I am just showing the tests, any conclusions on how they handle and how they perform will be for a later video. These tests will show me what I need to improve in their design to make the ultimate Castlevania whip.
Whip 1: solid steel ball (5 cm) with 13 steel spikes (1,5 cm), weight: 624 gr
blackened stainless steel chain, length: 3 meters
Whip 2: hollow steel ball (5cm) with 13 steel spikes (1,5 cm), weight : 279 gr
galvanized steel chain, length: 3 meters
Whip 3: mace like steel head with 4 flanges (11 x 5 cm), weight: 167 gr
galvanized steel chain, length: 2,5 meters
The whip that I use in the beginning of the video is made by my good buddy Aart. This was actually the very first whip that he has ever made but it performed remarkably well. The colors were his choice as well, but they definitely helped to be clearly visible on video.

Now ya gotta make it ignite upon contact

@BradLad56 9 месяцев назад

He's gonna need a vampire for that lol

@fluffypinkpandas 8 месяцев назад

have it hold a core of alkaline metal and it will. alkalines react to moisture and ignite. lithium, potassium, sodium, all of that can be crammed inside a hollow or whisk shaped morning star, and as long as it has a sharp way of breaking flesh, it can have its payload make contact with blood and go off

@fluffypinkpandas 8 месяцев назад

best part is, alkalines like Potassium Sodium alloy (NaK) appear as silver. “Silver” being whats supposedly the most effective against… well.. fleshy targets. and likely a misunderstood science. Technology has its place among magic and mysticism in the castlevania series.

Quick silver only ignites upon undead

Thank you for doing this test! During the intro, I was planning to dive into the comments with a lecture about how whip physics depend upon taper, but, you clearly understand how whips work xD I'm stunned that the morningstar on the end of such a large chain can be somewhat effective (of course, not practical, because resetting to a ready position would be impossible in actual combat, but that's not the point). I wonder if having a longer staff portion and perhaps a shorter chain portion might make it work better. Still, science is all about making wrong predictions and being surprised by results, so I'm definitely in science mode when watching this. I'm looking forward to your next updates on this project.

Awesome video the morning stars worked grate very intresting to see the difference the weight made i hope to see more intresting projects like this. Grate job!

@b1laxson 27 дней назад

In terms of danger I was in medieval re-enactment group and morning stars were banned as there was a serious risk of the chains twisting around arms etc breaking bones from the torsion.

@JCOwens-zq6fd 10 месяцев назад

Thats really cool. Does a good bit of damage too. Though i would still hate to wield it against an armed & resisting enemy.

@valentine_puppy 10 месяцев назад

Ah, my Q to 007 as to Belmont. Wonderful news. The weapons are arising. We have our whips, cross throwing and our Morningstar.

Thank you are really good ❤❤❤

This is fascinating

@sitnamkrad 10 месяцев назад

From the looks of it, the chain links all have the same size. As far as I know this is accurate to what the actual Vampire killer is like, but I'm curious what would happen to its handling/performance if you were to make it more like a whip where the links close to the handle are larger and become smaller as it gets near the end.

@roetemeteor 17 дней назад

There is a chain whip video out there. Dunno who did it, I think it's the dude who plays songs on his whip. The sonic boom is so loud and dense, it sets off a car alarm. It would probably kill or at minimum, decimate an unarmored target.

@DemorKreations Месяц назад

So fun to watch.

@trulyinfamous 3 месяца назад

What would make it even more brutal would be to put sharp edges on each piece of chain by adding blades, so when it wraps around and you pull it back, it cuts. It would also make it really bad for an opponent to grab it from you without wearing thick gloves.

@BradLad56 9 месяцев назад

The vampire killer has a little more acceleration to it than the others when you crack it I've noticed.

@KhornateBRZRKR 3 дня назад

Hey hope you’re well, does your friend that made you these by any chance make them to order? I’m in the US and would absolutely love a spiked ball one.

@screamingtaco2190 Месяц назад

Is there a way I could buy one of these? I have always loved Castlevania.

@7digger3 7 месяцев назад

Have you thought of tapering the chain and making the tip piece as lightweight as possible? Great job thank you for sharing.

@pimsprojects 7 месяцев назад

I have thought about it, but tapering the chain while still attaching a heavy piece of steel to the end will make very little difference in the overall performance. And I want these whips to have a big piece of steel on the tip to see how much they differ from regular whips in regard to how they handle and how much damage they do. I have seen several chainmail whips that are tapered and have a very lightweight tip that actually crack. I do admit that it would be fun to make, but for this project I want to keep it as close to the original Castlevania style as possible, which means a handle, a long chain and a large piece of steel on the business end. I am trying to find a good balance between the size of the piece of steel and its weight. The massive steel spiked ball is to heavy, but the hollow one is more manageable although the chain is a bit to long.

@7digger3 7 месяцев назад

@@pimsprojects I totally understand your point. Maybe a hollow titanium end piece?, castlevania chain is slightly tapered, is it not?

@pimsprojects 6 месяцев назад

@@7digger3 A very light titanium chain at the end of a heavy and rigid whip might do the trick, but nothing bigger I would think. I based my whips on the early Castlevania games (NES, Gameboy) which were just pixelated sprites depicting a chain with some sort of a ball at the end. The best version of this can be seen in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I used those whips as an example and they do not have a taper, but only a metal chain.

I'm training to become a real life Belmont were can I buy these at?

@GriffyIsSpiffy69 8 месяцев назад

Where would i be able to acquire such an amazing weapon?

@pimsprojects 8 месяцев назад

First I am going to make a real battle ready version (propper chain length, hardened steel) since the ones in this video are test versions. Maybe I will make one or two extra, but that is a big maybe because I would rather spend my time working on other weapons for new videos. The Bloodborne sawcleaver for instance.

@SEXCOPTER_RUL 10 месяцев назад

Is there any historical accounts of a "chain whip"? Sounds like a less functional morning star

@siegebug Месяц назад

So which of the three whips performed the best? Did you formed any conclusion?

@pimsprojects Месяц назад

The last one with the shorter chain and the lightweight mace-like head worked best, so that will be the base for the final version. Together with the larger handle of the first two, those had a better grip.

@C3phoe 4 месяца назад

That was a waste of time. Very poorly done. Trying to reuse a shattered watermelon and replaying misses in slow motion os enough to make a new viewer never come back. And thst is sad cause the concept is great
