  • Now the real test, call Chuck Norris and ask if he is free and not swimming in land.

  • After taking few rounds through the vest, your internal organs are mashed and you will eventually die a VERY PAINFUL death.

    Armor makes you slow and limits your movement, its more bad ass to go to war wearing only plain white T's and armed with a sub machine gun, pistol and a knife.

  • @iamzero79 the day will come when someone invents a anti gravity generator zone then youll be able to wear ton weight armor that can stop pretty much anything even to survive missile/Agm missiles and have two vulcan mini guns and rocket pods. Send him in the center of congress...bye bye Us goverment

  • Well which reason do you want for pinnacle's black listing by the Army? The lying, or the attempt to work around rather than through the Army's testing and procurement process?

    Let's be honest here, it probably works fine for the operators wearing it, as they're professional enough to know when to take it off. For your average Infantryman it's a tragedy waiting to happen. It just so happens the stuff falls apart if you spill POL liquids on it and/or wear it in an Iraqi summer.

  • now shoot it with a barrett m82 50 cal

  • this body armor is made from Chuck Norris's skin.

  • I want to know what rounds they were shooting before I believe anything a video like this shows, are they using practice rounds?  armor piercing rounds? ect?

  • badass lol this is the stuff you are allowed to see guess what theres a lot of black matter around

    check your locals new world order soldiers videos for further information lol

  • Ugh, really? All body armor stops penetrations. The trick is spreading out the force of impact, real tests use clay models so they can measure the amount of impact. This impact is enough to induce internal bleeding and even break ribs.

  • AF doesnt issue dragon skin...

  • internal bleeding and weight probably

  • jajajajaja

    

  • bueno, es preferible tener todas las costillas rotas y no quedar como un colador mueerto

  • cant protect you from the wrath or anyhting i can think off to make you wake up.

  • From this distance, the soldier follows intestine through the ass.

  • i reckon ud have trouble breathing.

  • What about SASR's?

  • put it up with a 50 cal

  • There was no point in firing MP5 after AK47...

  • these are made with chuck norris's skin :D

  • lets see 50 call sniper

  • imagine the weight of many ceramic discs.

    imagine patrolling in afghan heat wearing an MTV on steroids.

    imaging carrying this, a manportable jammer, and 1500 rounds for a saw or 240 on top of it...for 6-10hours.

    plate carriers are lightweight and provide enough fucking protection. you have to find the balance between weight and protection.

    im sure anyone wearing dragonskin would get obliterated by an IED or if caught in the beaten zone of a PK machine gun.

  • Dragonskin isn't effective in high temperatures, that's why it's not being used.

  • This is NOT a body armor, ITS A BULLETPROOF VEST.

  • The ak47 went right through?. I saw bulletholes in the torso

  • @heestenhats

    it's actually tear in fabric of the t-shirt which can happen even if the body armor holds up against all bullets.

  • Is this not the stuff and it's little metal discs overlapping each other ??

  • Haha! Someone said something about making a helmet with this... It might stop penetration, but would that really even be better? I'd rather be dead than braindead. And with larger rounds, like a 7.62 NATO and larger, will it stop penetration? Does anyone have a video of that?

  • My dad was a police officer 2 to 3 years ago and he was shot at a medium range in the chest. His vest or body armor deflected the actual bullet but he had a bruise the size of a baseball for months. It saves your life but it doesn't save you from injury. The doctor was also skeptical because if it had been any lower it could have damaged his organs from the impact. Sometime if a bullet is "through and through" it causes less damage but it would be a gamble.

  • @NicolaAlexandrovna He his very lucky to live to live through that, many police officers don't live through a shooting. But the thing with soft bullet resist vests is that the kinetic energy has to go somewhere...and that is into the person with the vest. But it certainly beats getting shot and having a very serious wound, even fatal.

  • Yeah, I've never been shot with body armor. But I'm pretty sure you feel one jolt of a bullet and you'll shit your pants while laughing hysterically or crying hard about how you just got shot and probably nearly died.

  • Well considering most street thugs aren't walking around with military ammunition I think it will just work fine and um I'll take broken bones and internal bleeding over holes in me any day of the week

  • Right!! No penetrations but the ballistic energy would shatter every bone in your torso and reduce your internal organs to jelly! Why don't we see them doing this test on a 'dummy' made of ballistic gelatin formed around a ribcage? Because that would show you what would really happen and they wouldn't SELL as much armor! This test is a misleading load of BS!

  • @cy2087 I think a 7.62x25mm would just eat through that armor easy as butter...The 7.62x25 mm has killed a couple of cops with the bullet only fmj no steel-core needed.. That is why my main carry weapon is a tokarva just because you never know when someone might have body-armor...I just want to know why the didn't try the 5.7 FN on the armor.

  • @cy2087 Maybe you should read up on the philosophy of modern ballistic armor. It appears you don't understand how stopping a bullet from potentially penetrating your internal organs or major arteries( don't even get me started on exit wounds) is preferable to letting the bullet blow through you.

  • when they lift it looks rather flexible and not tooo heavy..

  • wtf am i here...most random video

  • Its a good thing the bad guys only shoot center mass...

  • how heavy wud u estimate tht vest to be?

  • Ok so what they don't tell you about this is the impact of the round may not penetrate which is a plus of course. But that also disperses the energy into the vest which disperses into you with enough force to break and fracture bones. It's kinda hard to do anything with like a buncha cracked broken ribs and a fractured sternum and possible internal damage at points like the kidneys and liver.

  • @jeff19872011 its better than having a bunch of bullet holes in you

  • leralon is right...im pretty sure your ribs would be broken

  • ok it stopped the bullets but wouldnt the impact still cause internal bleeding?

  • @leralon watch the related video on the right about dragon skin from the FutureWeapons tv show

  • @leralon probably not unless it can stop a .50 then yes but a 9mm and 7.62 idk depends

  • @leralon better than.... not having a torso left.. lol, at least you can treat internal bleeding.

  • @leralon

    Not unless they're using larger caliber like .50 cal (wich the vest is not rated for). Or maybe by "internal" you mean subdermal, ie. bruising. Unless the padding layer is defect and/or you are wearing the vest naked, this is not an issue.

  • @leralon it's something :/

  • @leralon I'd rather risk dying from that than being directly killed from the bullet.

  • @leralon better than having a bullet going threw your abdomen.

  • @leralon

    Several soldiers that worn D.S in Iraq were hit many times with AK47, and weren't even aware that bullets hit them. no internal injuries were observed.

  • @xenomorphelv426 Adrenalin can do that. I'll be they felt it after the contact though.

  • @leralon Even if the bullets does not penetrate, they can still cause trauma.

    Vests are there to keep you alive if you get shot, not TO get shot anyways.

    additional: Wikipedia > Ballistic vest

  • @leralon Yeah, but you aint dead yet.

  • @leralon the pressure displaces. you dont really feel anything

  • @leralon would you rather have 21 bullets travell through you at 2800 feet per second, or have some internal bleeding?

  • And what about HEADSHOT??? Any armors?

  • @dmxrap2 they can probably make army helmets or masks out of that

  • After getting hit once i would probably fall down and vomit then get hit repeatedly in the exposed areas...due to the immense trauma of stopping a high velocity round..u can see the impressions of the slugs on the t shirt..

  • now all we have to do is solve the problem of internal bleeding and broken ribs.

  • great,now make a face mask using the same material,and something for your legs,some for your arms,and your crotch ,then give him a kevlar helmet,you got a 20th century knight!!

  • @Jake4595 21st as of 2000... derp.

  • @Elkotend herpa derpa derp

  • chuck norris wouldn't stop with the chuck norris shit

  • m1auser for ur knowledge buddy a ak47 round is a 308 round jus a small varient of one 7.62 is a 308 round

  • Chuck Norris would stop bullets with his mind.

  • @taucalm  more like his dick lol

  • @taucalm Or catch them with his skull

  • Bad ass

  • dragon skin failed military trials. climate changes

  • Am I the only one who notices two small holes in the t-shirt? 0:36

  • Will it stop 308 or 300Win Mag??????? Or 338 for that matter??????

  • Any1 know how much this armor is & can civilians purchase this? Because i know from experience their are certain ones you can not get!! Fact!

  • they should make entire body armor for ur arms neck chest legs shins an helment

  • Why have not tried it with the AK 74?

  • thumbs up if thought that was a real guy at first

  • The dragon skin vest was never fully level 4 NIJ approved, even though the manufacturers claimed it was. The armor failed multiple times after exposure to high heat (comprable to middle eastern summers) causing the adhesive holding all the discs in place gave out and the discs clumped into the lower portion of the armor. It was also heavy as hell. Nobody wants to wear a vest that weighs more than existing systems BEFORE adding ammo and water.

  • Poor guy lost both his arms in an accident -the only job he can get is Vest Tester

  • fpsrussian shoots a WAY better than this guy !

  • yah if I'm not mistaken dragon skin costs like... at least a grand per vest...shit is no joke

  • ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!

  • but 1 .22 shot to the head and your dead

  • i would use javelin instead lol

  • " badass chest armout" not body

  • Its not only bullet penetration they should worry about but the trauma after the shot.

    in 0:34 when he lifted the vest there was 2 bullets mark on the chest and 2 on the belly area. They should measure the trauma after the shot to see the effect on the human body. it could cause few bruises or could break few ribs. but no one had ever mentioned that about dragon skin.

  • @bo7ameed i'd rather have bruises and broken ribs then 180 grains of lead passing throught turning my insides to jelly.

  • @bo7ameed Blunt trauma from an intermediate rifle is a joke. The bullet only has as much energy that is felt from the recoil. It's nothing worse than a tennis ball hitting your stomach.

  • @sluginsaddlebuckshot depends who is hitting the ball if its Boris Beker or Pete Sampras then you're in deep shit

  • @bo7ameed No one ever said getting shot was fun, XD.

  • @sluginsaddlebuckshot I agree with you. last week i attended a ballistic vest test, and i could imagine what bullet can do to the human body

  • go full auto!

  • can it stop armour piercing ak47 bullets made of carbon steel ? or 7.62x51mm nato bullets ???

  • Shoot if u had that on u would have bruises the size of quarters on ur back and chest

  • Well, if you're getting shot that many times, just forget it...

  • I learned that this vest is not worn by the Army because of 2 things A: Its WAY to expensive to outfit +1,000,000 soldiers and B: In the extreme heat (like Iraq or Afghanistan) the disks all fall to the bottom and come undone thus making the vest useless.

  • I bet that hurts liek a bitch.

  • Can you buy this as a civilian?

  • @DivisionDirlewanger why would you need it as a civilian?

  • @mrgreen11231990 He probably wants to play airsoft or plans to rob a bank. I would like a set of this stuff just because it's an awesome vest and I'm 15

  • @mrgreen11231990 Why wouldn't you want it :D

  • damet i already watched this video

  • sadly the company that made this armor doesn't make it anymore.

  • Made in china

  • definitely should pick this stuff up for 2012 prep

  • fresno 

  • that armour dosent work that guy lost his arms

  • Flechette rounds would have that vest for lunch

  • got the same vest.

  • This makes my class 111a body armor look like a piece of shit. 

  • hey you guys should send me one of these vest's if you can afford to just shoot em up like this,cops took ALL of mine

  • Osama wish he had that vest and a helmet. HAHAHA Bottom of the sea.

  • hmm kevlar and something else hmm probs tungsten or something hard like carbon nanotube

  • Fuck I am getting so annoyed with all these chuck norris jokes. jesus christ.

  • This is without a doubt incredible stuff and will save lives. I know VERY little bout the tech behind this stuff. With that said, I know bullets are stopped by a material that's foam like and such. Does that same material help with lets say getting hit with a bat or stabbed by a knife? I sure it'll help but it won't cancel the damage completely would it?

  • @bigpapasrobot It will hurt, almost like a paintball hurts, but you won't get the internal injury caused by a bullet, nor the blood loss caused by a wound.

  • @bigpapasrobot it would, because the fabric is extremely hard to cut, it's probably kevlar, which is 6 times harder to cut then steel. And the interlocking discs are what stops the force. So it would protect quite well.

  • @cenotosa1 kevlar is not harder to cut than steel the shear strength of a given steel is between 70-80 GPa, the shear strength of kevlar is 19 GPa. What you're thinking of is the tensile strength (2.5-3.2 GPa) being about 6 times that of low carbon 1018 steel (440-565 MPa), but that's a shitty comparison for armor since armor steel is based on 4340 which has a tensile of 1.2-1.9 GPa.

  • @akzo74 that should be shear modulus not shear strength.

  • The point of a vest is to reduce the instances of ricochet and cross fire injury and or death. Getting hit with an ak47 anywhere in your body is an extremely painful and devastating injury.

    If your in a clean fight and one of your opponents outwits or overpowers you directly, it wont help but it should in theory bring down the casualty rates if deployed amongst a fighting force

  • oh wow i want tat

  • cp-5 sp-5, piercing 7x51?

  • @9985venom

    And i guess you've never shot from any kind of weapon.

    Also think, would you hit armed enemy's head from 20 metres, when you're under fire...

    Think.

    Oh sorry if you're a military guy, who was in at war of w/ve ...

  • yea right that shit will blend

    

  • Didn't they have a problem in testing with plate slipping?

  • The dragonskin stuff is better ... I think

  • enough already with the stupid chuck noris quotes we realy dont care do something consturctive with your spare time.

  • Crummy job for a guy whose arms have already been amputated. But he takes it like a man. silently.

  • This armor is not worn by the army because Chuck Norris doesn't want people to have armor stronger than himself.

  • Shoot in the head.

  • Does anyone know what the actual plate carrier itself is called? (I'm talking about the Khaki colored Cordura piece with MOLLE on it) I know that the armor system inside is called Dragon Skin but what is the carrier itself? I went to Pinnacle Armors website and nothing and I've just started my massive search through 4 years of comments on this video -____-

  • @SpecialOpsM4 sov-200 I believe

  • @SpecialOpsM4 the armor holder has the ceramic sewn into it thats what makes it so tuff. with ceramic plates put into a carrier normaly the pouch is to large so it can also hold steel plates. this however will make ceramic plates weak and break into dust and spread out reducing its stopping potential but this armor system has the ceramic plates tightly sewn in all the way to the edge so what your looking at is what they sell its kinda strange but the only way to have high grade ceramic armor.

  • @TheFloydsta I just wanted to know the name of the plate carrier the armor is inside of.

  • @SpecialOpsM4 if you go to Pinnacle's website and look at the bottom of the Dragon Skin page it tells you what carrier it's typically in, I believe it's called the Eagle MAR CIRAS.

  • @akzo74 Well that's the thing. I went to Pinnacles website and there wasn't any info about it on there. And that site isn't the easiest to find info on. And it didn't look like a EI Mar CIRAS to me but I'm over it haha. I think it was the SOV-2000 but I don't care anymore. Thanks though.

  • WHy was this canceled???

  • @terradragon

    Because it had a lot of flaws that Pinnacle Armor (and in many cases, the media) chose to tactfully ignore, instead preferring to yell "FOUL" and "CONSPIRACY!"

    *sigh*

  • BANG!....headshot

  • thats so dumb just get a nut or head shot

  • Comrade Cody: body armour used by knights weighed 30 pounds- because their weapons were short range, they could have their supply lines very close, so resupply was very easy- therefore all that the took into battle was weapons and armour. For modern soldiers in the middle east, they have to carry their supplies for a day- 30 pounds of armour, 3 pound helmet, 8 pound rifle, 300 rounds of ammo, 6 kg of water and all the other nick nacks- at the end of the day, carrying an extra 20 pounds every da

  • i heard that old rifle rounds (.303. 30-06, 7.62x54r, 8mm muaser) can go though it because of the energy it has.

    if that was true its users is not gonna last long against a local army armed with bolt action and semiautomatic rifles

  • @ComradeCody That is because all of those calibers are rifle calibers which means bigger than assault rifle calibers. Armies use the 7.62x54R and the NATO equivalent 7.62x51Nato in their machine guns and DMR and "light" Sniper rifles. All these rounds would penetrate even Steel better.

  • @ComradeCody- in a way you are making a good point with the everyone being armed with the larger round, but really in a standard infantry fight they will probably carry 5.56mm rounds, not to say they can't cut anyone down below the waste or get a head shot so the vest should hold out. Today's military is very technologically advanced so they will get the intel they need and use weapons and equipment that are "mission specific" so if they need the 7.62, then thats what they will bring.

  • Bad Ass body armor is bad ass when it can stop your ribs from broke coz of impact.

  • do you know how thick the titanium is?

  • Unfortunately, the vest ways 50 pounds.....

  • @DarkWorld2450 it is not that heavy, in fact full body armor worn by knights are 80 pounds and is flexable i read that kights could do backflips, runs, jumps, and swim in water

  • Wish I had that in K-SOG

  • It may protect your chest but it doesn't protect your head, legs, arms, balls, feet, hands. If i got shot in the balls, i would rather get shot in the heart and die.

  • thats good and all but my luck it would be in the face or the arm

  • dont forget thats from close range

  • Will it blend? That is the question

  • @Aiden1504 the quistion is will the guy whos gonna shoot you aimfor the armor and the more importaent quistion is will they have matching shoe lol :)

  • @Aiden1504 lol

  • @Aiden1504 no, no it will not lol

  • @Aiden1504

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PERFECT COMMENT!

    that cracked me up

  • at :37 is it me or does it look like one went through?

  • @beatsByZlaja Yeah but it as stopped right before going trough the skin. I'm sure it is only a little scratch.

  • Dragon skin are fibres woven from chuck norris beard.

  • @D33Lux: Lmao you'e hilarious

  • pretty good body armor, now in these days people usally aim on your head! they should invent a helment with somekind, of tectonic plate sheet around the head! buy good metal from the soviet! and have like some kind of glass sheet resisten bullet proof, glass so you can see, of course it's gana be heavy but would save many live.

  • @BEASTMODEFUA11 thats what i always thought to if you were in a conflict a skilled sniper would automatically go for a kill shot naturally the head, i always thought that you could adapt a dirt bike helmet tyle design and put dragon skin inside the helmet lining and put bullet resistant glass on the eye parts and make te glass go to about where your ears are so you could see naturally

  • Tbh, Rapid fire and you would be dead... Not to talk about the Crapy rpgs they use in pakistan that fail to go off and get stuck in ur gear and turn into grenades

  • chuck norris don't need a stinky armor. his skin is the armor

  • Screw all that! I say our men wear literal vaginas into battle *as armor* cuz think about it they r durible and flexible.

  • what is this? how much does it cost? and how can i buy it. someone help me out plz

  • @silentsmokeNIN the whole set of chest,leg arm is $5,000 but if its production is ramped up it will become cheaper

  • @hummerskickass where do you think i could get this for 5 grand?

  • Quero um desses pra eu andar lá no alto do matheus

  • That body armor is made up of Chuck Norris' skin.
