The tailor deserves more credit. It's one thing to create a lightweight bulletproof material, but it's another to turn it into a stylish suit that actually looks good. That's half the battle! I have been sewing for 15 years now so I can clearly see what a marvel of tailoring this is. Tailoring by itself is already one of the most difficult sewing skills. But to do it with Kevlar? That's another level.

*ADDITIONAL INFO:* *#1:* This video is not intended, nor provided as a guide for fabricating bullet-resistant composites. It is a HIGHLY technical field, and both the fabrics and testing cost tens of thousands of dollars to do -- and we still didn't get good enough results or data to bet our lives on. If you require armor, buy it from a reputable manufacturer who has external testing performed by the National Institute of Justice. *#2:* There is SO much more we could have included in this video -- if you want to learn more, consider becoming a member to see the extended cut ► ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cHOAgYWao6KnzYU.html *#3:* Even though our suit stopped the bullets, if I had worn the suit, I would likely have broken most of my ribs, and possibly died anyway. Bulletproof vests and suits are NOTHING like how they are portrayed in the movies, and especially not the way it is portrayed in John Wick. A thin bullet proof suit is physically impossible. It doesn't matter if you can "stop" the bullet -- the impact energy HAS to go somewhere. And that somewhere is your body. This is why most bullet proof vests and plate armor is so thick -- thickness helps distribute and absorb the impact energy from the bullet. A thin super strong material does not. In fact, there's a good chance that if a super thin bullet proof material existed, you would actually sustain MORE damage to your body, than the bullet simply passing through you. *#4:* UMP5 not MP5 -- Video cut wasn't specific in the final edit -- the Vector shot 9mm FMJ rounds, not .45ACP, we tested that way because 9mm have more penetration power than .45ACP. No .45ACP rounds were shot in this video. The Vector is the closest equivalent to the UMP5, which isn't available in Canada. We also did not test 9mm hollow points, because again, those are easier to block with soft armor. *#5:* Leave any more questions below, and I might do a livestream in the next few days covering your questions!

Finding a way to sell these suits). You could also split the projects up. Do an initial first pass on an idea. Make a video about it. If it gains enough traction you can put effort into a second pass that’s even cooler with a second video. It lessens the risk and keeps the ideas within scope. Best of luck you guys.

Very cool! I loved the whole research and all, in trying to achieve a "mission impossible". But...there's this thing I know in Dutch as a maliënkolder, translated a "chain mail" (if correct). Which in a translation to today's tech and all could be a layered composition of carbon-fiber plates, with a thin layer of dampening foam behind it. A bit like a fish - a skin of scales. This to spread the forces in play and to keep one's ribs in one piece. That was the thought I had all along all experiments and testing of all kevlar fabrics, woven or not, composites etc. Slowing down the bullet and its kinetic energy is the key here. Keeping the whole thing flexible enough is a second thing. The scales-approach in the combination with what your team did already, could make it close to bullit-proof.

@cooperbaxter8068 Рік тому
Not to be too pedantic, but calling it "certified military issue" is a little misleading. The vest used in the video was level 2 soft body armor. Level 1's aren't even sold anymore. Level 2A is the only rating lower than 2, and it's quite rare. Most police departments issue level 3A at a minimum, and level 3 frequently. The US military uses a different rating system than the NIJ, but the issued armor is roughly on par with level 4 by the NIJ standard. The US Army's IOTV, (Improved Outer Tactical Vest) has a NIJ equivalent rating of 3A, without even having the armor plates in it. In other words, the direct comparison in the video was to the almost weakest body armor commercially available. A level that is considered too low for most police work, except in low crime areas. The standard issue military body armor has a higher rating without even having its plates in. More typical users of level IIs are small time night security workers, mall cops, or journalists - people who don't expect to actually get shot at so comfort is a priority. I'm not trying to say that it wasn't an impressive accomplishment - it absolutely is. The suit was both incredibly stylish and effective against small rounds. Even better it was but together by a group who don't typically make armor. But at the same time the vest is a lower rating than my issued helmet, and far below issued body armor. You must recall that for the suit, they essentially took the materials already typically used in soft body armor, and shaped them differently. Hopefully this didn't come across as patronizing, or like I'm trying to correct you. My intention is to share knowledge on the subject I thought you might find interesting. Body armor and ballistics really are fascinating subjects.

It's an interesting design challenge. The old school thought behind armor is to spread out the area of force, turning a puncture into just an impact. To do that, you need something rigid like metal plates. Instead, you're doing something more akin to catching the bullet with a drop cloth. Which leads to something about the John Wick movies that I really love; John gets the everloving snot beat out of him. Sure, there's no bullet wound, but he's still limping.

I'm sure it's been often conceived, but I like to think that some kind of rigid plating shirt would go underneath this - less to stop the bullet and more to do exactly the one job this suit doesn't - spread out the force. heck even rigid leather plating would take some of the sting out of being punched full force by a bullet.

To be fair there's different types of armour, ceramic plate armour is a little different for example, having significantly worse durability, often only able to stop a couple of shots, but it has much less 'pointed' impact, deformation if you will, as it's made to shatter and spread the force out instead of trying to stop it straight away, however it's also significantly heavier and more cumbersome, kevlar is relatively light and more durable, being able to stop many bullets assuming the structure of the kevlar itself is not too damaged, so 'metal plates' are not the only way to stop a bullet, but there's always trade-offs to different types and the only material, other than of course compounds currently still being researched, that currently could be used to make a suit like this, which, is awesome btw.
