will it stop a bullet episode 8 justin beiber

[krakow784]

I would just suggest, getting better control whether its a 9mm or a .22mm or a 5.56mm

@FrigginTyler the woooooorst ever

@Irishlad23ni Actually, it'd be pretty predictable. Chainmail itself will stop a bullet. HOWEVER (and this is the important part), the way in which this happens is that the bullet hits the mail, is stopped, but fragments, passing through the rings, and into your flesh; and that's not even counting the broken rings that would follow the shrapnel or the blunt trauma.

@FrigginTyler Uh... have you ever shot a gun before? For one thing, you can't tell how far he is from the target from the footage. For another thing, a 9mm pistol is about as accurate as throwing a rock (Only a certain amount of it depends on skill, the rest is the gun). Besides... he hit the target every time, so...

Guns don't work like they do in the video games in real life... especially glocks. lol.

Carbon Fiber is strong in only in one way, resistance to tension, if you attack this material in any other way you destroy it like graphite dust of a pencil. Resistance to impact is better in polycarbonate and kevlar, materials not so rigid but with a great capacity of deformation. A good steel is better than all this materials but is 6 to 7 times heavier.

Bullet vs 8 in 1 European Chainmail could be interesting, 8 in 1 maile has no historical value, other than to say that it is the next logical upgrade to the original medieval period 4 in 1 pattern. It would also be interesting if the rings that made up the maile are small, like 6mm diameter and of a reasonably strong gauge.

You guys need to realize that carbon fiber can easily stop the bullet. The reason it penetrates is because it penetrates the Matrix(the stuff surrounding the fibers). CF is alot stronger than kevlar and titanium if only the strands are considered. @ACarsonMedia whats the material surrounding your carbon fiber?

Could you test titanium? My freind and I were wondering how thick it would need to be to stop a bullet.
