Thanks for testing those plates Taofledermaus! Yeah, using a full piece of steel would be more effective than those strips,that was all I could find at 3/16 in thickness. I'm trying to thin out the plates by annealing the HDPE, and that has shown some interesting results. I need to get me a 10mm, that looks like a sweet gun.
Your armor was fun to test. Impressive stuff! Try the Glock 20. You’ll love it. 😎👍
@@OGsDangerShow haha thanks man, I'll be sure to grab a shirt, even though you were casting some shade at my youtube channel name lol. You guys are the best.
You have a very good thing going on. It's already difficult to stop a rifle round. Very nice job!
@@DonVigaDeFierro thanks, I'm still dialing in the thickness with annealing, and what additives work best with it.
wonder if you could put fiberglass mat and steel plates inside the hdpe in layers as its melted?
Here we go! I got some home made armor headed your way next week.
nice!
This is awsome i really think yall are on to something unique that no one else is doing
@@taofledermaus And now for something a little different!
Love when you guys change things up, Jeff.
@@taofledermaus Keep it up you jolly good lads. Good day to you
Your channel seems specifically designed to target gambling addicts, how do you go from grinding out lotteries to designing body armor?
There’s people out here making homemade Armory out of milk Containers while I’m out here Struggling how to make homemade-style digiorno pizza cook evenly in my oven smh 🤦♂️ this is Embarrassing lol great video
Ya gotta rotate that gourmet pizza half way through the cook time. Now, time to go make and test body armor in the garage.😂😂😂
Pizza body armor!?
Try Home Run Inn if they have it in your area
If you're having that much difficulty making pizza that is evenly cooked, you can always use the pizza baking pan as the foundation for your home made body armor.
cut it into 4ths and cook them like that.
Blessed be Doug. For he is HOLEY. 🤣

Funny you have bovine in your screen name. When the angry birds t-shirt was shown, I immediately thought of the youtube video COWS WITH GUNS!

Those drillers have the timing of my mother. She could have vacuumed the living room any time but would choose to do so during Saturday morning cartoons.
Mine would have been cleaning with bleach products sticking up the house, right when TMNT, or ALF tales was coming on, and same with my grandmother, if you where not outside playing before lunch time on Saturday with nice weather you where kicked out of the house, and made to go outside.
We would just turn the vacuum on so you wouldn’t hear what was REALLY going on
I am reminded of what Clint Smith said about armor. "You are relying on a shooter to be competent enough to hit you in the vest"
Good shooting guys, rather impressed what this guy was able to craft up.
Reminds me of a combat field manual from WWI. It said if the enemy had a hard time withdrawing his bayonet from you, ask him to twist it when he pulled. I thought you had to be pretty tough to have the presence of mind to ask such a question.
I have to question whether he understands the purpose of armor.
Its not to make you invincible, it's to stop what would otherwise be fatal.
It's not to stop you getting shot, it's to stop you getting shot to death.
Thats my boys home made armor he is a really smart guy has alot of good idea's thanks for doing the testing and high speed cameras we both are big fans of your channel and pls check his channel out tec this out meow on youtube thanks again
It was fun to test. Thanks for watching!
You want to use Fiberglas yes, but as a air gap 'it will sound strange', with Epoxy the one meant for cars works pretty good... Carbon Fiber sheet "you can find for cheap" 2 platted woven.
you want to layer at least 3 carbon layers, 2 fiber glass layers in the center ish, the back carbon fiber against Kevlar or "steel" that is then epoxied to the final carbon sheet.
You will have a solid, somewhat light, but Certain Armor piece!
Elaborate the layering is
Outer Covering'carbon fiber is itchy your choice, Carbon Fiber, Epoxy, Fiber glass, Carbon fiber, Epoxy, Fiber glass, Carbon fiber, Steel plate or you can use Kevlar, Rubber/contact finishing surface.
@akjohnny I hate the idea of carbon fibre in there. That stuff is nasty when damaged. I recently picked up a broken carbon fibre arrow I'd shot and immediately dropped it again after it put many nasty little fibres deep into my fingers and it took a painful 20 minutes digging with a razor blade and tweezers to get them out. If you don't work extremely carefully they work their way deeper into your flesh very easily. I was even worried I was going to lose track of some of the pieces. I know that carbon fibre might help to stop projectiles but anyone touching the armour afterwards (like a medic) will get full of very nasty little splinters of the stuff.
@@Stigstigster the stuff it releases to the air is pretty much as bad as asbestos. They really should do PSAs or something on CFRP and its proper handling. Its getting more and more common these days.
I'd be avoiding all the materials likely to break into micro particles to avoid health issues but make more 'ghetto armour' and submit it and opt for a steel plate rather than strips if possible. Cross layering metal strip and epoxying them could be an idea to try.
Keep up the ganstgah engineering, the world needs gangstah engineers... We'll need them after something like a virus, bomb, hegemonic power wars or dysentery eventually kills most of us off hahaha!
Limey here.

Wait.. How do you limeys say "oregano"? We pronounce it "Oh-reh-gah-no", same as the Italians.
@@Wearyman Some Americans say it "Oh-reg-ano" instead which sounds funny. I assume that's what he meant.

Brit here. Viewer of at least 6 years. Those accents are hilarious!!! Keep it up boys, and bring back test tube torcher!
The eloquence of this channel, *_"That says alot right there, ya know?"_* is top notch! Well done.
Interesting. A bunch of these as panels would make good armor for a car. You can stack them and not worry about the ceramic being compromised since it keeps the unshot ones intact.
Actually, that is what the plate armor sender intended, bulletproofing his car.
HDPE = High Density Polyethylene
@no candy
Circumstances decide what is better, not the material. Titanium and carbon fibre are thrown around like top trump cards. Change the environment they're in and they suck depending on the application. Polymers change a lot by their process to fit the application while they stay similar. Ultra High Molecular Weight PE is better suited for abrasion resistance with low friction like some gears, in implants and use in safety ropes.
HDPE is much more versatile cause lots of production processes can make use of it. It can be welded too.
@Carpoole Layne that sounds like a high-def premium watersports paid TV channel
They can also make a kind of paper with that plus calcium carbonate. It's called stone paper. It's water resistant and indefinitely recyclable.
Thanks for the video. It will be great when Danny is able to rejoin the "gang".
Doug is having a tough day, I hope Danny is well doing a dam sight better!
Thanks for the upload!
Interesting and surprising :)
Surprised to see you here, love your Channel.
This is awesome. You could literally form the plastic into a one peace full chest plate wrapped in fiber glass. Then add metals as needed. Super light stuff for hand gun armor.
im Aussie and i had to google 'Rosen' when i first heard it. we say Resin. great vid guys.
Resin is what you use to harden fiberglass. Rosin is what baseball players put on their hands to help them grip the bat
Recycling at it's finest.

Home made armor tests are AWESOME
Love the opening. And as always great video. Thanks for sharing guys.
Also, given how cheaply that first plate could be produced, I think there's A LOT of promise for HDPE/fiberglass plates being used to bulletproof a room. Like, there isn't much keeping you from stacking a bunch of layers like that inside a wall - it's not like a vest where thick plates will impede your movement. Even though they didn't stop rifle rounds at that thickness, if you had two double-thick versions of that plate with a 1/4in hardened steel plate sandwiched in between, I'm pretty confident that would stop almost all rifle rounds, except for 50 caliber rounds and some smaller caliber armor-piercing rounds. That's an idea that could be worth patenting for whoever came up with these.
One thing this video has me wondering is what would happen if you made "plates" of the same thickness, but with perfectly-sized but much thinner sheets of metal with much thinner layers of HDPE between each. Like, for example, 6 pieces of sheet metal of about 1/4 the thickness with 1mm thick layers or so of HDPE binding them together, followed by one much thicker layer of HDPE, all wrapped in the same fiberglass. Or possibly 1 piece of high carbon steel that was quenched and hardened in front, same thickness, followed by 4 very thin sheets of mild steel that were glued together with a tiny bit of a much harder plastic, and then a thick layer of HDPE behind it, all wrapped in the same fiberglass. I imagine both could vastly outperform these plates, if enough though were put into exactly what type of steel was used and how it was treated prior to being put into these homemade ballistic plates.
One last thing to keep in mind, as well, is that many (if not most) commercially available ballistic plates are mass produced and are designed with not only bulletproof-ness in mind, but also ease of production. With a good enough design and access to quality materials, a skilled individual willing to invest a lot of time into it might be able to make higher quality plates than you can buy for the same price as the materials they used. Not saying I'd readily trust those plates lol. Just saying that sometimes what people with the right equipment, skills, and materials can make will sometimes exceed the quality of what a factory can produce on their assembly lines.
Two of the best channels on u tube . Keep up the good work guys enjoy both your channels.👍🏽👍🏽

That is some impressive DIY body armor! Nice!
Great video as always!
Great vid. Hope Danny's recovering fast
You should know that these "russian surplus" 7,62x39 ammo have steel core inside.
Mild steel though, it's soft stuff. Not quite as soft as lead, but it was used just because it was cheap material, not hardened like a "penetrator" core.
@@000Mazno000 we downplay mild steel against hard steel targets and ceramic plates but there's materials that get chewed through by it. There's HDPE level III plates that stop 5.56 55gr lead but get punched through by 62gr M855.
@@000Mazno000 The hardness of lead and mild steel are not even in the same universe. It doesn't have to be hardened steel or true AP in order for it to make a big difference.

If you suspended layers of fiberglass or kevlar mesh in the mold you might be able to massively increase the strength with minimal weight gain. I mean some other fibers would be even better, but fiberglass is pretty dang common and easy to work with for this and kevlar is kind of the fallback.
Nothing prevents you from having a mix of kevlar and fiberglass.
‘Rosin’ said literally no British person ever.
As a brit, i can object to that
Rosin is used on violin bow strings .
So if you play the violin in the UK yes
you would say rosin but otherwise in DIY circles you of course would say resin if you were using plastics .
I'm actually pretty impressed!! I think if it had a solid piece of steel it would've stopped them all. Awesome video as always guys!
Doug earned his money on this video, 8/10 Jeff.

I've seen many of these homemade armor plates, so far these are close to the best if not the best I've seen. A few things I would suggest would be to either place the ceramic plate inside the plastic about 1/4 or 1/2 inch from the front, it would help the ceramic to hold together a bit better. Also At the half way point of that plastic thickness or about a 1/2 or 3/4 inch from both sides, add some fiberglass or fiberglass over a fine wire mesh or plate steel with several coatings of a real good bed liner like they use in Pickup Trucks. I've seen the bed liner coating over ceramic plates and with combinations of a thick tight wire mesh and cloth or fiberglass. Some hold up real good. That might even work with those Chinese fiber boards to increase the effectiveness of stopping bullets. The combination of the thick wire mesh, fiberglass and bed liner help form a pocket like the kevlar vest material to help slow the and spread out the impact.
I kind of wonder if some of those combinations might work with that Flex Past that forms a rubber.
"We've got 6.5 Creedmoor with us" was the name of the first hit debut single from our band "Lead Gas & Brass", or LGB for short. We were a Fusion Jazz Blues (FJB) band back in the 90's. We broke up because our pianist got cold fingers.
I do think that the .308 and 6.5 would have made it through the steel plate if the plate had not been ripped out. Lots of energy lost from shrapnel flying out the bottom of the armor as well as the steel taking the energy with it when it left the pack.

One of the perks of being a Patron is that you get to comment before everyone else.
It might be slightly impractical to make an entire body armour with that, right?
Not necessarily. The thickness of the HDPE is probably the limiting factor. If you can slim them to a more molded form factor you could probably do the major body panels.
