As a former German mine diver i confirm the "go up and stay there till its over" myth ... The reason is NOT only the distance or depth ! To survive a explosion close to you your MOUTH MUST be OPEN, but if you are under water, even 1 feet you are on a breathing system, no matter what. This means your loungs are NOT open and THAT is what kills you. Example : Explosion 20 meters from me with open mouth ... i will survive Explosion 100 meters from me with mouth closed ... im done. If there is a chance for a explosion nearby BREATH to your wide open mouth !

I’ve always wondered whether the paper armour’s durability problem could be helped by treating the folded squares with one of the wax or resin or whatever options they dismissed on the regular paper at the start. Combine methods.

@jimhjortsberg2990 4 месяца назад

Well the resins made the paper more brittle so probably not. Sewing cloth around the folded squares might have helped though.

They forgot one pretty important key attribute of an armor. Price. You could equip at least dozen warriors with paper armor at price of one steel armor. Probably more.

@MrMarinus18 4 месяца назад

Armies in China were usually a mix of well trained professionals and drafted farmers. You would give the steel armor to the professionals and the paper armor for the farmers. Those farmers are only soldiers for a single campaign so after that campaign is over you just discard the paper armor.

@the_mini_axe2817 Месяц назад

Would have been more likely to use some kind of cloth instead of paper imo, lasts longer and cloth armour has a massive history in many parts of the world. A bit more expensive and a bit harder to make perhaps than paper, but last longer in things like rain and long marches. Paper would have been used in rarer cases but more likely to be more treated as to deal with poor conditions as that would have been of greater importance

25:00 Soldiers did not run towards the enemy. Enemy formations would still be there whether you ran or walked. Running would only ensure that you got too tired to fight when you got there. For such maneuvers, where speed was required, you relied on horses or other animals. There would be extremely rare occasions (surprising an enemy while it's on the march and not in formation, for instance) where you would have to run. Nevertheless, a few seconds would not make any difference. The enemy would still be out of fighting formation. In relation to the obstacle course, again, it did not matter if you were a few seconds faster or slower. If you have to negotiate such obstacles, the enemy is likely above you dropping all sorts of nasty things on you. So, you would rely on ranged weapons to deal with it, not on agility under a suit of armor.

@leoarc1061 4 месяца назад

A spear has higher mass, the arrow has higher velocity. I think that the distance of the target would be the deciding variable.

I’m noticing something else with the paper armour, that mannequin chest is deforming a lot when struck hard in melee, way more so than with the metal armour, I’d bet there’s going to be injuries with that paper stuff which will add up like broken bones, punctured lungs/other damage to the organs. Etc. The body underneath is going to start to come apart just as the paper armour itself due to the physical trauma from the impacts.

@Yvolve 2 месяца назад

The sheet steel is in no way a comparison to ancient steel used in armour. Modern day metallurgy can produce much better, more consistent and stronger, steel for the same thickness. Having it as a single sheet is also not a good comparison as s small piece is much likely to shatter. Especially if it was low quality steel.

@shadowripper6128 2 месяца назад

i always wonder if you got hit with metal armor by a blunt force and the metal bends, your stuck between the metal plates... then i guess you better have flexible armor right

@demonicravergaming.4766 4 месяца назад

I comment on alot of clips. But honestly. I perceived this way different to the tests they did. I pictured a sub, underwater being hit by depth charges. Laying down on the floor on the sub, makes sense. Worst case you get crushed by the sub, best case, you would maybe get mild internal bruising from things around you, and maybe water pressure. But if you stand up, youd be more likely hit by more objects, considering structural integrity of a sub. But honestly, i don't know what the hell you are testing.

@leoarc1061 4 месяца назад

I am not sure that the Chinese would've used inch units for any of their military equipment. So, whatever they used, it is very unlikely to have conveniently been half of an inch thick.

@the_mini_axe2817 Месяц назад

I would not be surprised if it is close, as they would have likely used something derived from a finger or thumb (diameter in one direction, I would guess) so while not exact a half inch is a good enough estimation for a TV show that does not want to do a deep-dive in archaic measurements

@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407 Месяц назад

We do have our version of inch though. Before the standard metric system was adopted (and even after), people used traditional units of weights and measures. 1 inch = 0.762 Chinese inches

@salvadorsempere1701 4 месяца назад

The test to paper armor it´s utterly crap. The conclusion it´s right-ish, but the way it´s done it´s completely wrong. The bows and arrows are toys, not war bows with war arrows, with lot less weight and drawing, and they have not tested against the real and most common menace in a battlefield, pole arms and spears. Paper armor (or layered cloth or a gambeson, the same concept applies) offers a decent protection against cutting weapons but not against piercing ones.
