    If the rabies virus ever mutated to be an air born transmitted disease, that'd be something similar to zombie outbreak, late stage rabies is pretty scary.

      Also type in self defense boot spikes on google, you could fabricate something similar and add some wicked kicking power to your suit.

      Yeah i've seen those. Hadn't thought about that till now, I might see if I can add some spikes on the fronts or something. That WOULD be sick

    • @LuckoDaStars
      @LuckoDaStars Před 4 lety

      You mean a bladed bow? Something like that is more like a mixture of a polearm that a sword really. And has to be treated as a polearm because of its design. But I think that's doable

    • @anneymao3860
      @anneymao3860 Před 4 lety

      Sounds very difficult. I'm thinking of those Olympic target bows and replacing their stabilizers with long blades.

    • @jakemakes
      @jakemakes  Před 4 lety

      That stabilizer idea actually wouldn’t be that hard. Hehe that sounds pretty sweet actually. Not much practical use but the cool factor!! Lol

    • @nxxynx5039
      @nxxynx5039 Před 4 lety +1

      Bows don't like getting bashed about and are under a lot of tension, you'd be better off attaching a small pistol crossbow to a wide-bladed weapon.

    For securing the foot plate thing, you could just weave a bit of chainmail and put it there instead. I recommend European 4-in-1 made from 14 gauge 5/16" ID galvanized rings. If possible rivet them closed, you'll just need to make them bigger at first so they stay 5/16".

    • @jakemakes
      @jakemakes  Před 4 lety +2

      That would be ideal, now I think about it. I have it fixed now with elastic. Maybe I’ll change it later

    • @liamthepyro
      @liamthepyro Před 4 lety

      I guess that using elastic would be less time consuming but chainmail (especially if it's riveted) would be a hell of a lot stronger.

    Alex Jones is proud of you. Your whole theory makes total sense! I don't need armor tho because I will do reverse psychology on the zombies and make them think *I'm* going to eat *their brain* (what's left of it). It works pretty good imo. You'd be surprised how fast they move.

  • @RyanLebeck-td5ft
    @RyanLebeck-td5ft Před rokem

    Dear lord, please watch more videos!
    Fiberglass welding blanket and fiberglass fill coating/naphtha and silicone gel, memory foam mattress cover, and a simple cardboard mold will get you most of the way through.
    Then use super glue and baking soda to fuse the joints; this makes a durable and strong plastic bond that will be strong and sandable/paintable.
    AlexLab has a video on composites that is pretty comprehensive.

    Can you make a shield that holds your bb (gun), crosbow and is resistant to bullets with your armor.

    • @jakemakes
      @jakemakes  Před 4 lety +3

      THe heck??? That sounds ridiculous. And awesome.

    • @jakemakes
      @jakemakes  Před 4 lety +3

      Difficult (expensive more like) to make a bulletproof shield. You basically have three materials that are bulletproof; kevlar, titanium, and ar500 steel plate. AR500 is too heavy, Kevlar is a fabric material that needs to be put with something solid (also its expensive) and titanium is FREAKING expensive, as well as being so hard it very difficult to cut and or shape. So while I could theoretically build a bulletproof shield, it isn't something I'm ready to make at the moment. I will make one in the future tho.

    • @DMNSMN
      @DMNSMN Před 4 lety +1

      Why not use polyethylene fibers because it's better and cheaper, and use ar500 squares as a segmented armor on the polyethylene, it will allow flexibility too 😁
