ZAHAL - Bulletproof Vest VS. Sniper Rifle

[ferna2294]

Epic. Anyway I wouldn´t like to feel the pain of a bullet going 1000 metres per second against my body :P

[gohabs1119]

man that is still amazing, thumbs up to israel for an amazing invention!

[fireambu2]

even tho the bullet didnt hit you it could stop your heart from the blow

[CLICk000000000000]

YES! it is a Romanian PSL

[reti2000]

aren't sniper trained to shoot on the head?

[fireambu2]

@reti2000 no not really you see that more in movies but body shots are usually effective and wit snipers  at long distances headshots could be tricky

[carmend1665]

@reti2000 no, its a triangle from about neck spanning heart

[FallingRabbit]

it didnt penetrate the vest. but the impact would almost kill the guy wearing the vest.

[Nationofhonor]

@FallingRabbit No it wouldn't, they would definitely get a huge bruise and fall down because of it, but the best thing to do is not get shot in the first place.

[FallingRabbit]

@Nationofhonor

yea thats for sure^^. its still very dangerous getting hit with those bullets

[TotalyMofo]

8 mm Yugoslavian sniper rifle M76 or the new one M91 7,62 mm...

[weaponeer]

impressive

[usptact]

Love that last phrase in credits "Thank you Kraken" :D

[g3seifert]

what kind of plate was inside? sapi IV ????? has anyone trieds kevlar ceramic titanium plates?

[bowdown2anthony]

does the vest have any plate inside for this test?

[NinjaZX14ROXX]

Romak PSL, not SVD

[Rivannous]

and that's why i would shoot an armored guy in the face, and that's why a sniper doesn't use that kind of long range rifle with... not even fmj rounds, but a stronger rifle with maybe even teflon surface bullets, because those will go through this sh*t like a hot knife through butter.

[LewisTee08]

@Rivannous this isnt the 1800s nearly all guns have FMJ rounds

[Rivannous]

@LewisTee08 yes, but they don't have teflon covered rounds... those are nasty as hell

[LewisTee08]

@Rivannous hmmm... wrong video i think

i didn't post that on purpose

[Rivannous]

@LewisTee08

? no offense taken at all, if you thought about that...

And you definitely are right. this isn't the 1800s and nearly all guns have FMJ if they haven't hollow points ;D

but I would rather use a heavy lead bullet that doesn't punch through than a FMJ round that doesn't punch through, because that would do more internal damage with more kinetic energy ;D

[LewisTee08]

@Rivannous its weird that my comment had something remotely to do with our comment :P

[LewisTee08]

@Rivannous your*

[fimafengfimafeng]

Hmmmm...what ammo is used...mmmm...soft points....mmmm...why don´t you try real sniper ammo instead....mmmm...then of course the cheap zahal vest wouldn´t stand the penetration....mmmm....buy a real bullet proof vest instead...mmmm...

[rodtorre7]

nono THAT WILL HURT.....put that vest on A PIG OR WATER FILLED RUBBER TUBE THEN TRY

[lisahy]

Very nice!

[KimberLuv487]

Yes but, can it blend?

[pongoose77]

I suppose it dont matter if it breaks your ribs its better than dead ! well done bullet proof makers just dont sell any to china russia iran iraq korea . In fact no one outside

[Keh0ol]

@pongoose77 pretty sure they've got their own ;)

[pongoose77]

lets hope them arab fucks dont get u in the head...

[weaponeer]

@pongoose77 - that's why troops wear Kevlar helmets. but the fact is most snipers shoot center mass anyway

[FishTurd69]

@pongoose77 hey, you shouldnt refer to the arabic people like that, it was bin ladens goal to make muslims feel rejected by society, so please dont support him. refer to them as extremist muslim fucks.

[Keh0ol]

this doesn't show the trauma effects

what a useless test

[weaponeer]

@Keh0ol - trauma testing is for the lab, and useless in the field. This was a basic performance test showing that a 7.62x54r does not penetrate at close range.

[Keh0ol]

@weaponeer right trauma tests are useless in the field... that's prolly reason why they're conducted on every type of vest with trauma plate before those are issued to the troops then isn't it? because they're useless ;)

a bullet that does not penetrate can still kill

[weaponeer]

@Keh0ol - once again... a Trauma test is not done in the field (this is the field) because it requires certification which typically deals with a clay backer. the shot is made and the depth is measured. the problem is Kevlar causes a lot of bruising, broken bones and internal damage. BUT, this is not Kevlar, this is ceramic, and it spreads the impact, much like a level III steel backing plate. therefore you have impact, but less damage as Kevlar. try getting shot without one.

[Keh0ol]

@weaponeer i am aware that this is ceramic

still it needs a trauma assessment because even ceramic bends and deforms under the impact of a bullet

this is why i said the test is useless

that a ceramic plate can stop a 7.62 rifle bullet is no surprise... what matters is the size of the surface area most of the kinetic energy is transferred to (naturally all the kinetic energy will be transferred to the body but the "where" is what matters)

[BallerSkier]

@Keh0ol yhe but the area is much larger then kevlar

[Wyatttorix95]

why does water come out???

[drondronov13]

Thats not SVD, and not even a sniper rifle. Its Romanian PSL if I'm not mistaken.

[weaponeer]

@drondronov13 - The SVD is also not a sniper rifle. both are DMR rifles of the same caliber and performance

[GeneralSchultz]

look so

[Douglas046]

can the ceramic plate take multiple hits without fragmenting up?

[MrFrezhprinzz]

pero del pinche madrazo te a de maromear bien cabron

[Scretsquirel]

That wasnt a dragunov or armor piercing rounds

[GunsOfThePhoenix]

@Scretsquirel It does not matter if it was a Dragunov, a 7.62x54R bullet is the same no matter what gun its fired from. 

[Keh0ol]

@GunsOfThePhoenix barrel length can make quite a difference

[GunsOfThePhoenix]

@Keh0ol Only in speed and accuracy of the bullet but the stopping power is the same.

[Keh0ol]

@GunsOfThePhoenix velocity is an exponential factor when calculating kinetic energy

since in the end the kinetic energy of a bullet is what kills you it can definitely affect stopping power

[KINGIGOR1992]

1 shoot 1 kill !

Sniper shooting in head !

no in buletprof !!!

[MrAcquis]

lol look at all the russian comments, clearly upset that their pathetic old guns are not as powerful as they like to believe :)

[KINGIGOR1992]

@MrAcquis dragunov is not .50 caliber & is not most good russian rifle !

Look at "ASVK -KORD" & Lobaev rifle !



[DeadBoyxxx]

most of you guys are missung the pint...which is the stopping capacity if the vest.

[666crackhure666]

hl2 menu music....

[VisibleGaming]

If you think thats a dragunov your play too much COD4

[bwr408jr]

uh no thanks ill stick to my dragon scales

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

Isreali stuff is usually among the best argueing the details like many other topics may only yield small returns that you may have to think twice in argueing about.Agreeing may produce better returns.

[outskool100]

use an 50 call sniper

then there will be a penetration

[l1qu1dm3t4lIV]

Correct me if i am wrong, is this not a Tigr and not a real Dragunov?

Perhaps they went with the AK style grip?

[CarimboHanky]

whats the point of using a sniper rifle to shot at the chess, you should have used an ak-47 or some other high power rifle because if im wearing one of those vests and the enemy have a dragunov or any kind of sniping rifle HE WONT SHOOT ME IN THE CHESS, HE 'll GO STRAIGHT TO THE HEAD!!!

[TheAKmatics]

5,45x39 7N24 would also go through that vest, that ammo is specially made for killing body armor but very rare and illegal in the US

[ak47proshooter]

it did stop it but snipers are trained to go for the head so............

[eggsaladinthetub]

Not an SVD=Failed demonstration.

[cashoverass]

dam now ppl know thats a shitty sniper lol

[lorddragon812]

Half life 2 music FTW!!!

[deathclawhunter]

thats a psl its similar but dragunovs are extremely rare and expensive about 5 k and its a mis conception that the psl is based of the dragunov but its actually based of the rpk . also neither psl or dragunovs are sniper rifles the are "DMRs" wich stands for "Designated Marksmans Rifle" just like the m14 for shots 600meters and below

[jeniabarkov]

This is a Romanian "SVD"= FPK - It's not even an SVD, it's an AK with an extended barrel. It's don't have a power the Russian SVD have.This video is for people that don't understand how SVD is luck lick, and there for it's a deception. I'm sorry but i need a real test...

[jeniabarkov]

This is NOT a SVD i am sorry... this is a adaptations (Chinease / Romanian or Iraqi)

IT'S NOT a Russian SVD ( Dragunov sniper rifle), oh and i am from Israel and i love ZAHAL (7 brigade, 3 years : ) )...

Sure there is no penetration but good sniper going for your head not your chest.. GO Zahal !

[ChEnGsTaRz]

FUUCKK I'MM HITT!!!! FUUCKK!!!<-- my reaction

[hehehe929]

thats a PSL please, use the right gun 1st, this is Romanian... Lower factory quality, lower Feet Per Second (FPS), can I ask where were these AP rounds made?

[jugheadkilla]

well thats why snipers aim for the head lol

[reignick1133]

downside to this video :

That's NOT a Dragunov , it's a PSL (a Dragunov "look-a-like" ) the round IS however a 7.62 x54 mm Russian APr round evidenced by the ammo on the table.

It really doesn't matter as the results would have been EXACTLY the same at that distance, the only difference being the 2 gun's different actions and accuracy , that plate might have took 2 more shots tops, I immediately thought "bag o' gravel" on the first hit but it took it like a CHAMP!

GREAT plate !

[LVGmemphis10]

thats not a dragunov its a psl but fuk it who cares it'll still kill u

[tok291]

motherfucker that would hurt!

[eLpeach]

you have got to be shittin me holy fuck that thing withheld a 7.62 x 54 round my god man lol

[CNHeadquarters]

that shot would put you in shock

[bigian213]

thats a PSL not a dragunov. goddamn

[kockpoo]

ha?? what is this BS?? put it on some soldier not a dummy

[zero87mx]

Hail Hitler!

[PAPERofROCK]

USE A BARETT 50 cal.

[neo19209]

try it against the 300 ultra mag

[Ibringthetruth1]

boring

[Avishkush91]

Imagine the look on a Russkie sniper's face after taking a shot at one of our finest (probably Nahal ;P) without something serious happening to him. Next, imagine the piss in his pants when that soldier comes to kick his ass!

I have to admit that the IDF might not be the most advanced, or most well budegted, or most expensive, or most prestigious army in the world-but it IS the best!!

Even though the round didn't go through, i seriously doubt that someone would be getting up very fast to kick some butt!!

[Avishkush91]

I know that, but a few laughs never hurt anyone.

[omgPepper]

the impactwould knock you of your feet. youd probably black out too. enough time for the sniper to aim for your head or the 65% body area that is not covered by the vest -.-

[Avishkush91]

I thought it was pretty obvious that what I said was a joke...

[esh325]

@omgPepper, bullets can't knock you down. There is a vdeo of a man disproving what you said. He gets shot at with a bullet proof vest, but dosen't get knocked down.

[omgPepper]

it depend on the weapon someone uses. Most of the time when people get shot wearing vests they instantly loose consciousness at lest for a couple of seconds. You cant seriously rule sth. out just because u have seen a video on youtube about it.

[esh325]

In the North Hollywood shootout, the two suspects got shot multiple times while wearing body armour. The cops said it was like out of horror movie how they kept shooting them, but they wouldin't go down and would continue returning fire at the cops.

[omgPepper]

i´m not talking about this kind of shooting. This video is clearly about war weaponry and not about some measly 9mm handgun cops have in their holsters. Why dont u try it out. grab yourself some body armor and let someone shoot u with a .50 cal bullet. then we can talk again

[Johnnytm21]

@esh325 They were also jacked up on meth and pain killers...

[esh325]

@Johnnytm21, none the less, a bullet can't knock you down.

[eggsaladinthetub]

@esh325 That's why US anti terrorism is flawed. Almost all their weapons cannot scratch bullet proof armour.

[charms71]

a sniper might evade depending on situation

[SoCalMech]

but make sure it's a genuine tigre svd not some romanian or yugo knock off LOL

[SoCalMech]

YES!!!!!! BUY IT! ITS A GREAT DEAL MAN

[TheZUNIT]

I saw a dragunov at a gun store for $850.. .I wan't so bad.. can anybody tell me whether or not that is a good deal or not?

[kalysto69]

hmm. i wouldnt trust a bullet proof vest manufacturer that doesnt know what a dragunov rifle looks like... thats not a dragunov. also i highly doubt that those are armor piercing rounds. next time shoot a metal plate first then shoot the vest. i call bullshit.

[mantuve1]

I was looking for a dragunov shooting but a like this PSL-54 any way, is just like mine.

Where i can get 7n1 ammo?anyone?

[vonUtz]

Very interesting.

Noticed that when the vest is hit, pulverized white ceramic pours out like a liquid from a broken faucet; ever thought of colouring the ceramic in bloodred, so to confirm the attacker's impression of a deadly hit?

Is this suggestion worth a patent? ; - )))

[badmintonho]

ehmmm, i dont think the attacker would check his shot out with binauculors...

RUN!!!!

[darraghtank]

@vonUtz well id imagine youd be knocked down maybe unconcious so it would probly be very annoying for the medic when he cant tell people who are bleeding to death and people with broken ribs , just my 2 cents

[kaiofthe]

If it could save one person's life,ask that person's family.Was It Worth It ??? Love .Raymond.D.J.Mckay.

[badmintonho]

sweet

but you shot from pretty far. what if the guy was a lot closer, could have penetrated

[zboyco]

they would use an AK if they were close. Drag/PSL guns are meant from far cover positions

[aviomaster]

-- Is this possible , what kind of material is that ,.,. to STOP Dragunov body armour piercing round .

[ok131583]

That mannequin died later in the hospital from internal bleeding and raptured kidney...

LOL

P.S. That was not a Dragunov...

P.P.S. Black and Red tipped 7.62x54R goes through BMP or BTR armor like knife through butter and that is 2.5 inch steel

[weaponeer]

@ok131583 - first off, this is ceramic armor which spreads the impact, and not soft Kevlar. Second the rifle is a PSL, but has identical performance to the SVD.You are about as likely to find gold bars on the battlefield than AP 7.62x54r, it's typically ball and tracer. Your example of 7.62x54r going through a BMP? why would you find 7.62x54R shooting at a BMP? BMP Armor 6 to 7mm top armor, 1.3 inch for the main gun, 16mm sides, and back doors (fuel tanks). 16mm = 0.62 inch not 2.5 inch

[hats4us]

@ok131583 If a 7.62x45 round go get into a bmp1 or btr that just means those are not worth crap and they would be beter off driving a uaz...........PS have you ever seen a real dragunov in person or fired it? because they are not a super weapon its a damn good rifle but there is beter

[ok131583]

@hats4us BTR1 is not being manufactured since the 70s. So I rather jump in to BTR-3. As to me seen a Dragunov, yeah I see them every day in my safe, where both of them lined up nicely next to each other ;)

Don't believe me, see my vids...

[hats4us]

@ok131583 Yes i know the svd can be be owned in the united states.the 7.65x54 round is not even close to strong enough to get threw a BTRs armor i have spent alot of time in BTRs.i can see you dont know much about armor or armored vests.my friend i have seen a pkm shot at a BMP everybody inside was safe.. just because you have seen things on your shooting range shot does not mean it does the same on armor and just because many say russian armor is crap does not make it true..... with respect

[IsraeliteMilitia]

Look at me! I'm wearing a 10x12 inch plate......make sure all your rounds only go there.

[kirbyman1kanden7pf]

nice vest.

[sackcheck]

Sure no penetration but think of how many ribs that would have broke. You should try it on a clay dummy next time.

[yoavdotan22]

Breaking ribs is a better option than dying.

Clay dummies are primarily used when testing Kevlar or other soft bullet Proof fabrics which bend inward when hit by a projectile. Here the ceramic plate does not bend, nevertheless enough force is applied to cause trauma to the body. The above test was only done for the Youtube demonstration and is no replacement for laboratory trails and tests already done.

[humphrey357]

i agree

[weaponeer]

@yoavdotan22 - I could not agree more with your comment. I normally use the heavy and bulky Level IV Rifle plates with one of my vests, and the others have armor level fruit of the loom - cotton (not very effective but lighter). This vest is of great interest due to the low profile and high level of protection. one test you don't see is the wear test for comfort, and this one looks like it would be fairly comfortable. just wish they came in tan. great design.

[Tallaha55ee]

@sackcheck god damn dude. that shit just stopped a 7.62 armor piercing round from going through the target and youre not impressed. get rid of the glass half empty attitude.

[Konstiin]

@sackcheck lol are you serious? vests are for no penetration. what, you want soldiers to wear a pillow under their vest?

[BallerSkier]

@sackcheck still is a very large area that presses against the body vs Kevlar that bends only in a area of a few inches

[fireballer0012]

That was not a Dragunov SVD sniper rifle it was a Romanian PSL but they are the same caliber.

[jordanw2013]

Seems like after 1 shot the ceramic plate was weakened enough that the next one would go right through..

[BraveIDF]

dude, its dragonov, hes not semi Auto ...

its takes timr to reload this shit

[ericx777]

No, the PSL/SVD -IS- semi auto and uses a 10-round magazine. At 100m a good shooter should be able to hit a human-sized target with 1 shot per second.

Question I have is whether the SAPI plate is multi-hit like the USGI IBA (Interceptor) plates are.

If so... this is a hell of a deal!

[aalonsorobert]

what level is that vest?

[Gangleri33]

look at the description in the beginning

Lvl III a with anti trauma pads and Lvl IV Plate...

[sonne0ne]

good video but not good test tons of energy lost

[rebelstang]

That's some Great Gear!

[mrjimmyos]

I've not seen something like that since dragonskin armour :o

[Binford2500]

dang! that vest is something else... if it can stop the 7.62x54 then most of the rounds being used in iraq/ afganistan can be blocked pretty easily(7.62NATO 7.62x39, .223). it does sound pretty solid from that standpoint. whats the biggest caliber tested on it so far? have you tested it with a .50 cal?

[salix1970]

7.62x54r AP, Really!

[Binford2500]

dont they usually test those on clay to simulate tissue?

[yoavdotan22]

The vest with the plate has been tested in laboratory conditions and therefore is compliant with international standards (ISO). Here we wanted to perform our own test to have the footage of the vests protection capability in addition to all the paper work we have from the laboratory.

[134paintball431]

shoulda done second shot

[TomkidA]

in your dreams
