    • @thelightlord6081
      @thelightlord6081 Před rokem +88

      Think about it tho. The plate has a high hardness and is angled pretty well. Also, those bullets have a pretty high chance of ricochet or shattering as they're spire point/spitzer. The curve from the middle section to the tip is very similar to the angle of the plate, so when the edge of the bullet hits the angled plate, it just kind of slides off. The bullet would probably have to have a lot of power to negate those dynamics. Could put a square shaped ballistic cap on it (like APBC tank rounds) so when it hits the plate it crumples and pulls the bullet into the angle of the plate. Over explanation done

      And the point of angled armor is that it makes it harder to penetrate, while simultaneously reduce the material needed to reach specific deflection target. If you used to need a 90mm of steel to reach specific target, slope it 45 degrees and you will require only half of it (not exact math). Reduced armor => Reduced weight => Increased mobility

      The problem of direct/perpendicular strikes to triangular armor, can be (at least partially) resolved by using two layers of armor, at different angles with respect to each other. If a perpendicular strike causes penetration of the outer layer of armor, then the second internal layer of armor (at a different angle), should theoretically still be able to deflect the slowed and potentially fragmented projectile remnant. The space in between the hard armor layers can also be filled with something that helps to fragment/slow/deflect the projectile.
      It is possible to design volumetric materials that are non-isotropic (that is, behave differently to different angled attacks, like wood, which is weak to splitting forces parallel with the grain of the wood, but which is stronger to perpendicular attacks against the fibers of the wood), which can theoretically be used to help promote guided deflections.
      It is hypothetically possible to implement more than two layers of hard armor, each at different angles. Such might get too heavy for a human to wear, but it would still potentially be at least somewhat practical for armored vehicles/objects.
      Although it may be possible to deflect projectiles at any incoming angle using multiple layers of angled armor, such a design runs into a potential problem of resulting in no protected volume/area, that avoids getting hit by the deflected projectile in certain incoming angle circumstances. Theoretically, this can be resolved by implementing certain extra strong "catch" regions in the armor, that are designed to fully stop the deflected projectiles.

    The geometry is sound and works. The issue is bulk, protecting your arms, and as many have pointed out. The design is only effective with the V facing the shooter. If the shooter is at an angle to you, it defeats the deflection function of the V plate.

      Atleast it works when you're facing the baddies and the impact of the bullet would hurt less since you have space between your armor and your chest and also you're maybe not going to fall to the ground after the first shot since the bullet bounce so it doesn't transfer all his energy to you (this argument is totally hypothetical, I have absolutely no idea what I am saying and I hope you or someone else can correct me if I say sh*t)

      If used as body armor maybe make it like a 3 piece armor? 2 sloped left and right, and at the center/chest besides the sloped armor is a standard thick piece of flat metal, but then as much as possible the sloped areas are larger compared to the single-flat-armor.

    The idea of angled armor is really cool. Hell I even saw a guy in a movie with that angled chest plate you use, but he had it covering his whole face with a narrow slit to see through. It looked weird, like he had a metal cheese head. But this is proof that his helmet would actually work. But feeling the Shockwaves from the bullets would probably be really bad on your body, still beats taking a bullet to the flesh of your face though.

    An interesting idea for sure, but it would sort of be negated if a person was not shooting at you directly from the front, if they shout at you from like 10 or 2 o clock it’s just a straight shot this way. And most combatants don’t stand facing directly forward, a rifle shooting stance is canted inward so it’s likely that the impact from someone in front of your line of sight would hit the armor straight on. Also hope you don’t value your arms much… or people near you- yeah maybe it’s safer for personal body armor to just absorb and not ricochet 😂 love the video though hilarious
