  • @bdebdmm Michael expressed a similar sentiment. He wished he had the sort of sensors they have on "Deadliest Warrior." Two-handed thrusts were not tried.

  • I'd love to have a ballistic's dumby under that mail to see how much blunt force trauma is transferred. Also, did you guys do two handed thrusts?

  • @bdebdmm I changed the video description to share the results. In short, the spear would not penetrate the mail.

  • So what was the verdict? It's hard to tell what they are saying because of the wind.
