  • 0:08! Crazy father-son relationship!

    Deep down, the dad must be like: You shot yourself in the gut while wearing a bulletproof vest! Now you're a man!

  • No shit the helmet didnt withstand the 8mm, the round can take down a lion at 800 yards, then kill the lion behind it.

see all

  • 4:38 whats the point of that test ??? it went through both..... i dont get it

  • 1:58 what is the name of the song??

  • Iron Man suit that the best armor.

  • @TheWhoaDude Heads are really small and move a lot. A torso is much bigger larger and does not move so much. Much easier to hit.

  • 4:55 FEWER CASUALTIES. FEWER, GODDAMMIT.

  • @steelpanther id think you'd find that a higher percentage of military munitions use cordite instead of traditional gunpowder.

  • Why does no one aim for the head?! lol

  • I'd rather be bruised than dead, GIVE ME THE VEST!

  • @steelpanther88 we don't use gunpowder any more though

  • Its quite fascinating how the power of the gunpowder can't really be resisted. Medieval Chinese come up with gunpowder, and quite frankly an effective counter to it doesnt exist (for infantry')

    the body armor that's able to resist rifle calibers are he so-called rifle plates which are added into body armour/(like US interceptor armor). If the round hits the plated area, it stops the bullet, but the plates will shatter with multiple impacts.

    Good against few hits not, an MG burst to the body
