Hi Brett McCoy here. I forgot to include more detail. I made the mask back in High School welding class 2014. This has been sitting in my basement ever since! I do have pictures of how the whole thing was made. I never heat treated it or anything by I did get an A in class! My design was based off of a carboard cutout of an Army of Two mask from the game series. I planned to put some type of glass in the eye holes to stop from funneling rounds into the wearer's eyes but never got around to it. It also really was not practical to wear and would probably slam all the force directly into the wearer's chin. I ran into a bunch of issues with sizing and ended up having to redo the eye holes and put in extra metal to close up gaps but I don't think it did to shabby.
We were super impressed by it! I was surprised that it took that 4.6 like a champ! Thanks for sending it in and enjoy the Surefire!
🙌🙌🙌 You did a great job!
Spot on with the army of two theme. I
Loved that game and as soon as he showed the mask, it reminded me of that.
That mask was sick dude. Great work!
now if that was strips of ar500. that would be sick.
I like how the eye sockets will funnel the rounds into your eyes.

This is the second time we've had chainmail on this channel and as cool as this stuff looked, it was, again, butted mail. That stuff is basically for costume purposes only, it can't stop a significant hit from pretty much anything, especially made from copper, you could probably break through that with your bare hands. Would be interesting if Matt got some real steel riveted or welded mail armour and tested _that_ out (perhaps even with a historical gamebson beneath it but that might be expecting a little much) against modern guns.
Funnily enough, the reason chainmail was eventually abandoned in favor of plate steel was because of the advent of early firearms: while plate steel could stop them, a musket ball hitting chainmail would cause the links to shatter and basically turn eash shot into a mini frag grenade when it hit you, sending bits of sharp, broken steel into your body along with the bigass lump of lead shot. Seeing just how poorly things would go against modern firearms would be interesting.
That isn't why mail was abandoned... Mail fell out of popularity much earlier than the advent of firearms. Mail is just very expensive to make compared to plate. The plague in 1350 killed a significant portion of the workforce, and mail became even more expensive to make. At the same time, water powered hammers came into use, which drove costs for plate armour down. A breastplate could be made within 6 hours. A mail hauberk or haubergeon will take 20 to 30 times as many hours. Mail is also less protective against thrusts, which are one of the primary dangers on the battlefield (missiles and lances). Mail relies on stopping the attack, rather than deflecting it like breastplates do. Breastplates also allowed the fitting of a lance rest, which drastically increased the power of shock cavalry.
The combination of all these things caused mail to fell out of favor. It was still used to protect areas that couldn't be protected by plate for another hundred years though.
@@joost1120 Wasn't main the cheaper option actually? Like it was possible for common soldiers to buy chainmail because full plate armor was VERY expensive? Chainmail wasnt the cheapest option for armor but it wasn't that expensive.
But yes, firearms were most of reason why old armor was phased out.
I'm so glad you used hand tools on that chain mail and gave it a fair showing. Also, felt a little like OG demo ranch days. Well done and thanks for the content.
It wasn't a fair showing though. Chainmail wasn't used to stop blunt attacks like that. It was to protect from slashes and shit from swords. Honestly I feel bad for the guy who made it. Felt super disrespectful the way he treated that dudes absurd amount of hard and beautiful work. I know he went it in willingly, but he broke the shit out of it with irrelevant shit before even shooting it and even threw it away to the side after. It was literally like a piece of art. Poor dude.
Just a heads up for any of you aspiring chainmail wearing combatants, chainmail is not in fact intended for blunt weapon protection. It is intended to protect from cutting weapons, crushing and thrusts are very dangerous even when wearing it
Was about to make this same comment.
I can already hear Shad screaming in the distance
It’s the same concept as a cutting glove. Which are chainmail and used to protect from, cutting. Lol
Not only that but copper.... Jot a great material for it. Steel, sure. Soft metals? Eh, looks nice, but not exactly effective.
Tons of people at my work have to wear them daily because they're using really sharp knives all day. (pork processing plant.)
As one who makes chain mail, that vest was painful to watch. I have made myself a full hauberk and I powered through and did it in four months. For the longest time, every time I'd close my eyes all I would see chain mail pattern. I also tried a copper chain mail and it did not work bc it was too costly. Kudos to that man.
I’ve got a piece about 6”x8” made of steel wire that was supposed to be a hood. That’s as far as I made it when I realized I was never gonna finish. Lol. Pretty easy to get started, pretty hard to follow through.
imagine all that work and u cant even earn a lamp.... heheeeeeee
Do you think they actually made it, or just bought it at a renaissance festival or something lol
I personally think that it qould be more expensive to buy it than make it.
If you don't rivet it it's not even worth making it
Chris needs a demo jacket or something to put that much time into the copper chain mail and give it to you ....props to him
I agree, that’s a lot of work
Demolition Rach never fails to make me smile. Probably the best show on CZcams 😉
"we're gonna hit this with a few more blunt things. Just cause that's what chainmail's for."
I know Mat isn't an armor guy, but chainmail was made to defend against slashing armaments rather than blunt or pricing armaments.

@@shanecameron6667 Depends on the sort of party... And how much alcohol is involved.
Had he not loaned his +5 charisma bracer to the guy going for that alcohol, this coment would have been much more popular.
If people can't have a conversation about medieval armor at a party I'm not super interested frankly.
He is right though chain armor was made to protect from slashing sword blows. It was virtually useless against pointy things like arrows and spears.
edit: A lot of people have been telling me that my comment is factually incorrect, so sorry.
Chainmail is to stop slashing, contrary to what you see in pop culture films it had gambeson (thick tightly woven fabric) underneath to help dissipate blunt force. So whilst I don't think copper would make for a good chain mail (it was the bronze age, the tin was added for a reason) I don't think it's quite as ineffective as shown
DORK ALERT!!!
Depends I'd the rings are riveted or not. Most modern recreations are butted or split. Riveted are much stronger.
@@tymorgan92 plus it was never made from copper (or bronze because they both suck for that purpose) always wrought iron or steel.

One thing about chainmail is that it is only truly effective when worn over some type of clothing. I don't speak from real experience of course but the History Channel taught me many things about arms & armor.
True without some sort of padding the rings would just dig in to you. That however is nowhere close to proper mail. Copper is very soft and easily punctured by something like the tomahawk so it’s not the right material. Material choice aside it should still be able to turn a blade and prevent cuts. I think its biggest weakness is that it is likely butted mail, where the ring is just pinched together, nowhere near functional and can be ripped apart with your hands. Real mail would be made of flatter rings with the rings alternating between being a solid ring and one that is riveted together so lighter and much stronger.
Usually you would wear a gambeson or some sort of padded vest under your chainmail. It makes it more comfortable to wear and should give more protection.
You’re correct. Arrowtips for example can poke through the rings and the gambeson will keep them from poking you
@@thealpaca8hay I thought it was typically worn over some type of padded clothing. Wasn't sure of the name though, thanks for the info 👍
@@natelax1367 it actually depends on the type of head you’re shooting, the weight of the shaft, and if the head is quenched/tempered or not
That intro “todays Monday, yep been doing it since then” that is the most southern statement I heard All day
7:45 "we're gonna hit [the chainmail] with a couple of blunt things because that's what chain mail is actually for"
Oh god, I can already hear Shad screaming in the distance xD
(for those that don't know: chain mail, being flexible, offers exactly zero protection against blunt weapons. It's also pretty bad against piercing, but it has fantastic slashing protection (in Matt's demonstration not so much against the thrown axe, but this is also just copper mail and thus rather soft). Historically, you'd normally combine chain mail with a gambeson or other type of cloth armor. Combined, you get pretty good protection against all types of attacks, though of course not as good as plate armor. For example, arrows will get blunted when hitting the mail, thus being subsequently unable to pierce the cloth, whereas arrows could pierce both armor types on their own with ease. Tod's Workshop has good videos on the topic)
It was kind of disheartening to see considering some one spent years making it
@LabRat Knatz it was actually made by a fan, not some company, so it was in fact quite the effort. However, the creator* responded to some other comment claiming he doesn't mind the destruction, as he didn't really have a use for the mail after he was done with it.
*I, of course, have no way of verifying if that was actually the maker of the shirt or just an imposter.
That being said, if you send something to Matt and tell him to test it's effectiveness as armor, you shouldn't be surprised if it gets obliterated. So whether or not that guy really was the guy who made the mail, the creator likely did expect this outcome.
That chain mail might not have been great at stopping anything, but man was it gorgeous. Three years of work and it became art.
That was not art just a massive waste of time and money. Whoever made it should be very ashamed.
@Robert Sears I'm guessing you're a "glass half full" kind of guy. You must be a hoot at parties.

12:46 ouch.
This has probably been said by many other people, but I was told that chainmail is specifically designed to stop slashing motions. Stabbing and large blunt force are effective weapons against chainmail. As shown in this perfectly well-done video.
Chainmail maker did a great job. Looks stylish too.
Elastomeric is like a caulking material that self levels to fill in cracks and hardens like a rubber. It is commonly used to fill in voids from concrete cracks or saw cuts to keep moisture out.
I've only ever used it on metal. Like gutters or tin roofing.

They use elastomeric in paint as well.

Is also used as a roof coating instead of shingles
I'm surprised not to see more comments on that dragon scale. That was true ingenuity. Has a bright future ahead of him.
Same!
exactly same here! he actually sent something in that’s of commercial quality that he produced himself.
As someone who has looked into dragon scale and *exactly* why it failed, I'm not sure this would be better. It might even be worse.
The main reason dragon scale failed was because the glue they were using to hold it together didn't work in adverse conditions... Spectra actually has the same problem (though different conditions, the ones it has problems with are just as likely.) Plus I'm not sure how well a woven approach would work.
@@SirSpence99 Thanks for the info, I’ve always heard of dragon skin in a glorifying light and that it’s this flawless design but never hear about the flaws in it’s design. i still am impressed that someone put in that much effort tho.
@@nollie_ollie8358 To be fair, I did it for business reasons.
The entire situation was pretty nuts actually.
Basically, the military got a hold of the armor, did some testing, it failed *all* of their adverse conditions tests (temp test, chemical test a couple others, conditions they expect the average armor to experience) so they passed that around and told soldiers that the armor failed their tests.
The company that made dragonscale got a hold of this and decided to go to the press and talk about how the military designed tests to make their armor fail.
Then, in retaliation the army released the test results that showed not only had they done a more than fair test, the armor was dangerous for civilian use. They also at that point changed internal rules to prevent soldiers from using non-certified armor.
Then, for some strange reason, the company that made dragonscale was sold three times within the next 2 years and from what I can tell, the patent was allowed to expire.
Amazing! You have to continue with this 💪🏻
killer transition with the new 9mm. loved it *chefs kiss*
I would say that copper vest is definitely worth a gift of some sort for the amount of work put in. That is dedication if I must say, and worth a few dollars down the scrap yard. What is it about $6-7 a kilo in the USA

Elastomeric is a roofing sealant. Doesn’t work very well at least in Florida. But I’ve seen 5 gallon buckets harden and it’s made me think
how many buckets will stop a bullet?
@@jacobkrout1627 that’s a question only Matt could answer
Is it "sealant" or closer to "thermal paint" for roofing? Personally haven't played with that specifically, but I did have a guy try to use buckets of thermal paint as cheap caulking for nails. Might have worked if it had been applied like paint, but didn't do chit when dabbed like caulking. I make the comparison because the thermal stuff seemed more like slightly thick latex paint rather than a "sealant" of any kind.
Regardless, that stuff seemed like more of the outer coat on a hard plate armor. Might have caught some extra particles but not stopping squat.
Might have been a good material for a top coat on the mask?
@@outcast170 I guess that depends how you use it. It’s sold as a sealant and actually some places consider a coating a new roof.. I rarely ever use them because I really don’t have any faith. I’ve used them and had success on a low scale. But I think if it was thick enough in between hard layers it could be effect in stopping catch the broken bullet.
I love how during the montage the thing I his mouth just keeps getting longer and longer. Such a classic gag and I love it!
Fun fact: If you turn up the volume on the intro you can hear someone reading a script to Matt near the end

It's not only foolish on your part, it's futile. If your ego is that fragile, go see a therapist. The point wasn't whether or not it worked. The maker knew it wouldn't. He said as much in the other comment thread you ... Interestingly didn't respond to thereafter. 🤔 the point that everyone else who replied to you, has tried to make, is that he took his time to make it entirely by hand. Even if it means nothing to you, labor pays peoples bills. And labor done in one's free time, specifically that which takes any notable amount or sort of time and effort/focus/determination/motivation, is worth commending given the fact that most people don't. It's extraordinary to see something handcrafted by a singular normal person in the day of automation and rampant consumerism.

Your new gun looks like sort of a CZ Shadow. I have an old CZ-SP01 Shadow. Great Platform for custom guns. Greetings from Germany

Chain-mail is more for slicing cuts, it could be added to gambison, which was a fairly dense multilayered padded coat of sorts (See Shadiversity)
DORK ALERT!!!
In real chainmail the links are also riveted not just bend which keeps them from opening ..... and they are made of steel but you know
Chainmail will never work as any kind of body armor. The person that made it should be very ashamed.
@@Asbitos agreed
@@robertsears8323 it has worked for hundreds of years. Just because wearing the particular vest in the video would be worse than wearing nothing because it is dead weight for no protection does not mean chain mail does not work. That copper “mail” can be ripped apart by hand because the links are simply pinched together. Real mail would have been made out of iron or steel, using alternating flatter solid and riveted rings so lighter and much stronger. Real mail prevents cutting, therefore it is effective armour even to this day. Yes you are still vulnerable to blunt force and things that have a particularly vicious point and obviously bullets but it would still be more protective in a modern knife attack than anything we have today. Yes you are not invulnerable even in real mail, but no armour makes you invulnerable. Is a plate carrier useless because you can be shot in the head?
That was a good strong lethal throw.
I loved how stupid long the hayseed/straw kept getting 🤣
Interesting thing about chain mail, is that it's actually like 100x stronger if the links are all welded/riveted. The axe and hammer might have done almost nothing if the links were all sealed. This all said, I do not think it would have stopped even a .22lr
Also, copper isn't really a good idea for a chain mail
Copper links were the biggest issue with it. I've worn, partied, and fought in a variety of mail and can assure you that that's party mail.
It's very pretty and he did great work but I wouldn't wear it even in a rattan stick fight.
All that said, I would love to see some actual mail make it out to Matt
@@Lithui Todds workshop maille?
Problem with ringmail is they dont have any resistance to impact injury, due to their extreme flexibility.
Sure that dull broadsword didnt slice through the ringmail, but the death by internal bleeding when your organs rupture and go into shock will still get you.
There isnt a weave or material you can make it out of and survive the concussive impact of even a 308 round.
@@wendiplays Bruh a sword isn't going to rupture your organs. Mail is flexible, but vastly less flexible than normal fabric. It will definitely take some of the punch out of it. Not to mention you're likely not going to be wearing mail on it's own. You're likely wearing some form of textile armour over the mail, which will distribute the force over a much larger area. You'll be fine.
If you don't believe me, just take a look at any medievel reenactment. Those swords are blunt, but still carry the same energy as a sharp one. In fact, they're generally a fair bit heavier. Reenactors would be dead if their organs ruptured upon being hit.

Damn right! I love this show. Thanks - and I think it would be rad if one did show up!
Matt good content you never fail at entertaining.
Aw dude when the song started my headed started nodding lol niiice
Wouldn’t exactly call the dragon scale redneck. There was some good science and engineering behind it.
I would love to see Matt do a collaboration with shadiversity. He could show what a sword or war pick would do with modern body armor and what guns would do to various different medieval armors or even split bullets with swords in a vice like forged in fire
I’m in
He has split bullets with regular knives before.
I forgot how cool throwing axes looked, might need to get back into it
This should be a series
Daaamn nice Throwing Matt ,)) I can send you my throwing knives i pierced with them real Chainmail armor no problem ,)
Shad would disagree. A stick would be better.
Never thought id see you here

Are you ill?

I love the tree branch in the mouth during the pump up montage 😂
Chainmail isn't for stopping blunt things, it's to stop sharp slashing cuts, from swords. Also protects from curly haired top hat wearing rock stars
That last thing lol
Can we just take a moment to appreciate what a good shot Matt is?!?
I see the mask and the ‘Salem Salem Salem’ line from army of two just keeps playing in my head 😂
Elastomeric is rubber like polymer used in roofing and it also helps against corrosion
The face mask is actually pretty badass. I bet I could plasma cut (I just have a hand torch, no CNC) + MIG weld + grind one of those in a day or two.
Might take a few grinder blades but yea once a cut the pieces I could throw that thing together
It would still be a VERY BAD idea. Unless you wan to die then it is a very great product.
@@leeharvey9006 Getting a pattern for what pieces to cut is probably the hardest part.
@@robertsears8323 I'm sorry, by "badass" I meant "cool" not "good body armor"
You should see how much rubber it takes to stop a 50.
ouch lol
Just one extra large Trojan should do it . 😆
Or...HOW MANY RUBBERS!
Great video!!! The algorithm finally figured I wanted to see what concrete does to bullets. After ten videos. It is faster to search for things yourself. Now I will just mention fryingpan, wink wink.. and wait for Algo. Nice and slow. Great upload thx!!
THE METALLL MUSIC WAS SICKKKK
