What I learned from this video: Stretch Armstrong is level 3A, Scott is a kind heart that actually keeps his oath to his community to protect and serve. God bless everyone, especially those affected by the tornado.
The gelatin inside Stretch Armstrongs seems to function similar to non-newtonian fluids, where they act like a goop when just sitting there, but under impact and stress they become rigid and very resistant. The higher the impact and speed, the more resistant they become. This could be why they are so successful at stopping bullets of nearly any variety. I'm curious what the recently showcased 4 Bore would do to some of these.
Thats crazy that a single stretch stopped a freakin 10mm. Truly incredible how effective these toys are at absorbing destruction! Stretch Armstrong body aromor coming soon perhaps?!?
You'd still be in big trouble but it could be the difference between making it to the hospital and not. The Stretch Armstrong creators should bring this idea to market as "Stretchlar".
I think I was the only one who wasn't nervous about you surviving those Tornadoes. After watching you survive those slap rounds, its hard to believe a Tornado can put you down. Stay Safe brother!
Scott: “Let’s see how many stretch Armstrongs it takes to stop a 2 inch bore punt gun.” God bless this man for helping and giving back to the community.
People often say "why don't they make bullet proof vests out of this or that crazy thing", but seriously, someone should actually try putting a layer of Stretch Armstrong in a typical soft Kevlar vest and see how it works lol
If I was a Gunsmith I would feel like making a 700 Nitro express revolver just for Scott. It would have a cylinder containing 3 chambers and would be appropriately named as the 'BIG DADDY 700'💪
An arrow from a bow or crossbow might be interesting. Since the stretch Armstrongs are filled with a non newtonian fluid of sorts a significantly slower projectile might slice through then far easier
@@BKBCrAnK yeah I think I remember that. Used a recurve and compound bow? Maybe a crossbow? Its a shame what happened to his channel, it's fallen so far. Lost that original charm :(
Praying for all those affected by the tornado, and very glad to know that you and yours are safe. Loved seeing the old Stretch test. I'm honestly surprised by how tough he is every time I see you do one.
The material in Stretch is _really_ impressive. That's genuinely surprising what it did to the handgun calibers. Ok. That's equally impressive what it did with 700 nitro. Holy wow.
Our ancestors had some creative ways to spend their time. Of course by our standards they were borderline savages but they still had to occupy their time with something.
In a warzone, a team of soldiers gets out of a humvee. All of them turn around and laugh at the guy who's strapped a hundred stretch armstrongs to himself. That dude gives a little smile. He knows he's the only one coming home today.
I'd like to see small high velocity projectiles hit stretch, or even better make a ballistic gel block of similar make up to the contents of it. So weird that it seems to deform like ballistic gel on the high speed but can stop at a much shorter distance. I thought it would be like ooblek in there but it seems to have a polymer like elasticity. When you see me in the helmet and vest made of stretch armstrongs at least we'll know I'm not crazy
It is similar to oobleck, but thicker. It's filled with a modified corn starch. It's semi gelatinous when sitting still, malleable like clay when being stretched, and hard as a freakin rock when hit (believe me, been on both ends of some Stretch induced blunt force trauma.)
Imagine the archeologists who stumble upon this spot in 10k years. Bullets everywhere, stretch Armstrongs, ballistic gel, pieces of tables, decimated concrete blocks, plastic bottles, random watermelon and eggplant gardens, etc. I wonder what kind of society they will think lived there.
Kind of interesting that the ones you hit with the lower calibers seemed to still be viscous on the inside. Yet the 700 nitro remnants look hard and brittle? Is that the heat from the round? Or some sort of shock? More testing should be done to see what's happening here. CZcams likes science questions, right?
The shock. The stuff inside Stretch behaves similarly to oobleck, but thicker. It's just modified corn starch, after all. It moves like molasses with gentile pressure or sitting, but if you hit it hard enough it acts like a solid because it doesn't compress very well. The pistol rounds weren't destructive enough to the outer skin to show it hardening like that.
DUDE!! Amazing how the skin on the first stretch deformed to the point that it looked like a liquid! That rifle is insane!!! The slow-mo really did this video justice. Real glad you made that investment, Scott. Happy to hear you (and my cousin) escaped that monster tornado, now It's time to buy a shirt!
I haven't handled one of the new Armstrongs but when I was a kid in the early 1970s every boy I knew had one, not because we played with them but because they were great weapons. The original ones were quite heavy and the torso felt like it was weighted. When you grabbed it by the legs and swung it around you could literally beat somebody to death with it. Many a fight ended quickly when a boy had his trusty Stretch.
The fact that he said stretch Armstrong almost every other sentence was constantly making me laugh. Idk maybe I’m slap happy right now because I’m exhausted. Regardless this content is gold and I’m now subscribed to this channel.
It's hilarious listening to you proudly say, ONE THOUSAND GRAIN, with such Vigor every time you introduce that weapon haha. I can't believe how tough those are though. I would have never thought in a million years it would have stopped those first three calibers. They need to figure out how to make some bulletproof armor out of whatever material that is haha. Thin layer of Kevlar over the top of that and it would probably stop a 50 BMG
I have watched a lot of KB videos and been grossed out by a lot of things he has shot.....but watching him squeeze bullets out of Stretch Armstrong's belly was a new level of horrifying! Keep up the good work Scott 😂
a full sized stretch armstrong is probably indestructible. i would love to see a full sized one shot up. Maybe you could get Matt to help with something really big like a cannon or a tank. I love your team efforts.
That last slo-mo was hilarious! A chain of flying Armstrong speedos! Scott, ya have to splatter some Armstrong's with the almighty BAR. On a more solemn note.....prayers for a quick recovery to all those affected by the tornado outbreak.
We apprecaite the help Scott! I live in Bowling Green, KY and the tornado damage missed me by about two houses. It's very rough here still and I'm glad you were alright through all of it! You did survive a .50 so I wasn't too worried though. Have a shirt ordered and on the way!
I'm waiting (patiently) for Scott to get a 4 bore shotgun. Seems like a perfect addition to the big bore high energy guns Scott likes to demonstrate for us. I'm aware they are pretty rare and ridiculously expensive. However, I would love to see some of these tests done with that monster of a projectile. I'm sure a lot of other viewers would love to see it too
4 bore black powder shotgun is equivalent to a modern full power 12 gage slug, both are about 5000 foot pounds, black powder automatically makes it 3-4x weaker. Also .700 nitro starts about 2x more expensive than a 4 bore shotgun and gets into the realm of 100k-250k. If you want purely unnecessary power then might as well go for the top with .950 JDJ, that's 38k foot pounds, like 3x more power than 50 bgm, pretty sure 20mm vulcan is the only thing out there that is more powerful.
@@whatsmolly5741 numbers are great and all, thanks for your information. But there are absolutely no videos on CZcams of a 4 bore being shot into ballistic gel. We only ever see people taking the recoil of the gun. We were all mesmerized by the way the 700 nitro just obliterated these Stretch Armstrong dolls. All I'm saying is, "I wonder how awesome a quarter pound of lead would do it." But now I'm wondering about the .950. Because you're right about the black powder limitations(hence the massive projectile weight of the 4 bore). I hadn't thought to look up videos demonstrating the power of that round on a target. I'm going to look it up now, thank you again for your information
Whatever these Stretch Armstrongs are comprised of, is amazing! Not only do they stop the bullet, but they absorb the energy so efficiently. Look when he shoots the 10 mm. There's almost no transfer of energy past the second one. I am impressed. ~~~ Stay healthy,happy, and safe ~~~
They have experts on the ground in Kentucky assessing the damage. The tornado that hit Mayfield and several other towns was almost certainly an EF4, if not a 5. It may take another day or two for them to officially determine the true intensity of the tornado.
@@roadrunner681 I'm personally fine but go slightly south of me and it's crazy. At one point I heard the rain shift around my house and hit a different window. It was creepy.
@@P51Michael_ it was doing that up here along i70 my dogs were not happy and the weather alarm was going nuts. down there had to have been insane. im glad your safe dude
The dolls are made of some amazingly tough material ! Damn ! I thought the dolls would have been destroyed with the size of that round, but they sent it off on a tangent very quickly instead.
From one Kentuckian to another, thank you so much for helping those in need. A tornado touched down less than a mile from us in Bowling Green and seeing that devastation first hand is horrifying. I can't imagine what the survivors are going through.
yeah these storms are no joke.we are sending y'all love from Oklahoma man.the devastation was on an unreal scale.i don't think anybody would have expected a tornado in December let alone a tornado outbreak.i don't think weather is anything like it used to be.maybe there really is something to this whole climate change thing,but either way,we all need to be prepared for anything now in tornado alley.hope y'all are safe man.
I wonder if it could just be one massive layer of the stuff or would it need to be a modern gel equivalent of gambeson with little pockets? Like bullet resistant bubble wrap.
I wonder if the gel inside those things could be used for body armor, couple of layers of kevlar and gel... I wish I had the means to test it. Loved the video and I have to say I was surprised at how the Armstrong's handled the .700 :-)
yeah we heard of this and it was shocking.we are no strangers to tornadoes in Oklahoma,but this outbreak was devastating,and in the middle of December no less.hope you guys get all the help y'all need to recover.one thing about the south that no storm can destroy is the ability for communities to pull together in times of crisis.
Hi I had left an unflattering comment b/c I'm really not into guns (just for absolute emergencies) and I don't gravitate toward gun culture, but I want to say that the 50 caliber blow up incident and how your father saved you was heart-wrenching and deeply moving. And I learned a lot from it. Please be safe.
This is a little like that episode of Mythbusters where they find out most weapons above a handgun barely penetrate two feet of water, but the handguns will go up to eight feet, thus validating that one Hollywood bullet effect, to an extent, and that you can actually survive being shot if you're underwater.
Hi Scott, I was really worried that I haven't heard from you since the accident. I think it's really great that you're collecting money for those affected to support them. I have also ordered it and hope to do my part. Here in Germany these hurricanes are awe-inspiring but we also notice here that the storms are getting worse. I and my family wish you all the best and, despite this misfortune, hopefully have a reasonably happy holiday. My English is not very good so I had to try google translation. I hope the translation is understandable. I wish you all the best and your videos are awesome and I am amazed at what you are doing. With best regards, Rainer from Germany
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen man. Wow! I'd like to send my condolences to the families that have been effected by the tornado. I will be purchasing one or two of those shirts to help out. Thank you Scott for everything you do man.
I fully agree with you Clint. Scott, Thanks for giving me a Christmas present idea for all my Family. Everyone's getting a Kentucky Tough t-Shirt. Those in the US, UK, and me here in France ;) Keep up the good work, and thanks again for helping these people out.
i love the scaling, 9mm, 10mm, .44, 700 NITRO EXPRESS. after the shot i half expected him to say "yeah so we're gonna be using a tomahawk missile next"
i never realised how tough stretch Armstrong's were , that was fun to watch 😄 you have to hit him with the 50 cal , and my heart goes out to all the people affected by the Tornados ,to my American cousins across the pond , i will invest in a Kentucky Strong T in the New year .
That 700 is cool to see, but the 700 and the much earlier 600 are not known for deep penetration compared to most other African calibers. It's a whole lot of energy being slammed into stuff though. I'd like to see the 375 used on ol' Stretch. They generally penetrate quite well.
Thank god you are ok, good to see you are nice and healthy, stay safe out there, keep doing what you do, and let's help Kentucky rise up from the ashes
Some distance between you and the targets might prevent disintegration and radical deviation, the “fluid” inside your target is being forced away by the explosion at barrel, pushing the bullet. Putting a couple yards between you should prevent that.
Be sure to check out the Kentucky Tough shirts! I greatly appreciate y’all! www.kentuckyballistics.com/products/kentucky-tough-t-shirt

Whatever these Stretch Armstrongs are comprised of, is amazing! Not only do they stop the bullet, but they absorb the energy so efficiently. Look when he shoots the 10 mm. There's almost no transfer of energy past the second one. I am impressed.
~~~ Stay healthy,happy, and safe ~~~
They have experts on the ground in Kentucky assessing the damage. The tornado that hit Mayfield and several other towns was almost certainly an EF4, if not a 5. It may take another day or two for them to officially determine the true intensity of the tornado.
it was pretty bad, im in indiana and you could feel the air was just off the whole day
I'm in Kentucky, almost at the end of the line the tornado made. Not many of us slept that night but atleast we are alive.
@@P51Michael_ no kidding. i wish you and your folks well. you all keep your chins up, and your northern neighbors are worried about yall.
@@roadrunner681 I'm personally fine but go slightly south of me and it's crazy. At one point I heard the rain shift around my house and hit a different window. It was creepy.
@@P51Michael_ it was doing that up here along i70 my dogs were not happy and the weather alarm was going nuts. down there had to have been insane. im glad your safe dude
I feel like scott misses the opportunity to say "This, is my BOOMSTICK" every time he whips out the 700nitro elephant gun
The dolls are made of some amazingly tough material ! Damn ! I thought the dolls would have been destroyed with the size of that round, but they sent it off on a tangent very quickly instead.
Glad to see an upload… I was afraid the weather did something 😞.
Now on with the show.
Edit 6:52 😱 all I can say.
From one Kentuckian to another, thank you so much for helping those in need. A tornado touched down less than a mile from us in Bowling Green and seeing that devastation first hand is horrifying. I can't imagine what the survivors are going through.
yeah these storms are no joke.we are sending y'all love from Oklahoma man.the devastation was on an unreal scale.i don't think anybody would have expected a tornado in December let alone a tornado outbreak.i don't think weather is anything like it used to be.maybe there really is something to this whole climate change thing,but either way,we all need to be prepared for anything now in tornado alley.hope y'all are safe man.
@@richardpeterson3753 we're safe. We were incredibly fortunate to have it miss us.
Dude, that was Savage! 😆 Has anyone thought of making body armour from the same stuff that stretch is made from?
I was thinking the same thing, have some stretch armstrongs over a plate carrier,
I wonder how effective a vest with that material inside it would be.
seems like better than nothing, although they are kinda thick and heavy
It would definitely help with bullet fragments vs steel
It's surprisingly effective.
I wonder if it could just be one massive layer of the stuff or would it need to be a modern gel equivalent of gambeson with little pockets? Like bullet resistant bubble wrap.
Those stretch Armstrong dolls are impressive. I can't believe they are taking those rouds like that.
I'm just about to get an armstrongs flack jacket! Thks for the tip Scot!
Sad to see such a beloved toy just gone, but what a video ! Good job !
I wonder if the gel inside those things could be used for body armor, couple of layers of kevlar and gel... I wish I had the means to test it.
Loved the video and I have to say I was surprised at how the Armstrong's handled the .700 :-)
Im thinking of plated vest with kevlar joints and a 1.5 inch hollow steel plates all filled with whatever is inside stretch armstrong
yeah we heard of this and it was shocking.we are no strangers to tornadoes in Oklahoma,but this outbreak was devastating,and in the middle of December no less.hope you guys get all the help y'all need to recover.one thing about the south that no storm can destroy is the ability for communities to pull together in times of crisis.
Wow I can’t believe how strong the stretch arm strong is! All I have to do is buy 20 stretch arm strongs to have a bullet proof jacket lol
Hi I had left an unflattering comment b/c I'm really not into guns (just for absolute emergencies) and I don't gravitate toward gun culture, but I want to say that the 50 caliber blow up incident and how your father saved you was heart-wrenching and deeply moving. And I learned a lot from it. Please be safe.
This is a little like that episode of Mythbusters where they find out most weapons above a handgun barely penetrate two feet of water, but the handguns will go up to eight feet, thus validating that one Hollywood bullet effect, to an extent, and that you can actually survive being shot if you're underwater.
yup, there’s a reason why harpoons aren’t bullets
Hi Scott, I was really worried that I haven't heard from you since the accident. I think it's really great that you're collecting money for those affected to support them. I have also ordered it and hope to do my part. Here in Germany these hurricanes are awe-inspiring but we also notice here that the storms are getting worse. I and my family wish you all the best and, despite this misfortune, hopefully have a reasonably happy holiday. My English is not very good so I had to try google translation. I hope the translation is understandable. I wish you all the best and your videos are awesome and I am amazed at what you are doing. With best regards, Rainer from Germany
Dein Englisch ist gut; mein Deutsch ist nicht. Guten Tag aus America.
what are you talking about? he's put up lots of videos since the accident.
@@Ghelasin he meant the storm. he literally says he is using google translate. come on man.
Rainer your English is great love from Scotland my man
@@Ghelasin I'm not talking about the accident that luckily he survived. I meant the tornadoes and the storms. I was afraid that it would affect him
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen man. Wow! I'd like to send my condolences to the families that have been effected by the tornado. I will be purchasing one or two of those shirts to help out. Thank you Scott for everything you do man.
I fully agree with you Clint.
Scott, Thanks for giving me a Christmas present idea for all my Family. Everyone's getting a Kentucky Tough t-Shirt. Those in the US, UK, and me here in France ;) Keep up the good work, and thanks again for helping these people out.
i love the scaling, 9mm, 10mm, .44, 700 NITRO EXPRESS. after the shot i half expected him to say "yeah so we're gonna be using a tomahawk missile next"
Thank You Scott for helping our fellow Kentuckians during these rough times. We love you Bro.
So glad you and your family are safe. This is a great video.
So basically, after watching this video, I come to the conclusion that I should make myself a Stretch Armstrong body armor against firearms.
I'm actually impressed with how tough stretch armstrongs are
Scott is single handedly keeping stretch Armstrong in business
2:10 my class when the teacher leaves for 5 seconds
*LOL*
Praying for all involved in the tornado damage. Stretch is a beast.
13:52 omg that laugh 🤣🤣. This video was fantastic omg.
i never realised how tough stretch Armstrong's were , that was fun to watch 😄 you have to hit him with the 50 cal , and my heart goes out to all the people affected by the Tornados ,to my American cousins across the pond , i will invest in a Kentucky Strong T in the New year .
That 700 is cool to see, but the 700 and the much earlier 600 are not known for deep penetration compared to most other African calibers. It's a whole lot of energy being slammed into stuff though. I'd like to see the 375 used on ol' Stretch. They generally penetrate quite well.
Good on you Scott for doing what you gotta do to help out those in need, props man
10:52 !!!BRASS SOLID!!!
Kuntucky asks what rounds he should shoot the stretch Armstrong with..:
Everyone going to hell: SLAP ROUNDS!
what's a slap round?
@@iancortescontreras6084 it's a type of ammo for the 50 bmg that almost took our dear ken from us. It's in one of his earlier videos.
@@SyberiousGraphics damn
7:03 That was spectacular.
Thank god you are ok, good to see you are nice and healthy, stay safe out there, keep doing what you do, and let's help Kentucky rise up from the ashes
"...clean up these armstrongs!" *goes Whistlindiesel on the tables*
Some distance between you and the targets might prevent disintegration and radical deviation, the “fluid” inside your target is being forced away by the explosion at barrel, pushing the bullet. Putting a couple yards between you should prevent that.
Hope your all safe after recent events. Love the vids, keep them coming!
Love your content Scott!!!
KEEP IT UP!!!
Seeing him brutally rip apart that one Strech Armstrong doll while looking for the bullet made me laugh and I'm not sure why!
