Will they stop a 7.62 ...

where did you get it?

Steel helmet stops front and back good, but side shots will throw spall right down your shoulders, maybe into your chest cavity if you're unlucky. Now it's clear to me why those goofy ass East German helmets look the way they do. Throws the spall out and away from the shoulders and chest cavity.

wow -googled for TUI and it's kinda armorpiercing

By the name of the video I thought it is about steel helmets that are hardened by something inside. Like that refurbished helmet which are soviet steel helmets with uhwmpe pressed inside. And it weights 2200 grams :facepalm: It's two Сolts 1911 in American units. There is something like bureaucracy or corruption in making it. There is videos of production and testing of it.😂 BTW interesting what if reinforce that bump helmet with glass fiber plastic or smth else.

Level 3A means is should stop up to a .44 magnum FMJ, you only shot it with a hallow point.

Another use of this would be for armoring vehicles. Things like seat backs and such. Where concerns about weight and bulk are important, but not quite as critical as personal armor.

Well done. Thank you.

I like steel for helmets for sure, stops backface much better. Have you seen Adept's steel helmet and mandable, those look like the best "full face" protection on the market to me

👍

How thick was the steel in each helmet? In theory it should perform similar or better than a regular flat sheet of steel of similar thickness one would think. Also, how much padding inside the helmet would it be needed to protect from the impact? Steel is heavier and thinner than a fiberglass epoxy sandwich, but it ricochets and requires more cushioning. Nice testing.

Bro you always breathe heavy in you vids. You ok? Great vid btw I love steel helmet tests.

very impressive! Do you have a link for the helmets on ebay or any other information? Thickness of steel etc? /Finn

BRUH

ohhh what are your thoughts on that cz? I have debated getting one, but the price keeps jumping.

Last year I choose 7 PRC because of the MV shown on the box. This was before info came out that Hornady lied about their MV. Almost 4k invested into this 7 PRC. I am a reloader so I thought 3k was easily achievable, nope, not at all. Too late to turn back now.

Hornady didn't stand up for their employees and workers when the globalist illegal, experimental, and very dangerous Covid shot mandate came out. This selfish act alone makes me not trust them on anything. They have coppied and renamed several cartridges produced by others and honestly bring little improvement to the table. Nothing they have produced actually lives up to their hype, let alone data advertised. That eldx bullet often blows up on game, the 6.5 creedmoor is slow and no better than the 260, the 6.5 prc needs a 26" bbl toget velocity and my fast twist 264 Winchester developed in 1958 still smokes it. This 7 prc has lot by lot speed issues because of unavailable powders; I bet Hornadys military contracts haven't had shortages on powders or primers. Hornady big money oversaturates the market and uses their big budget marketing operation to present a pseudo domination suggesting an image of comptence, yet they really appear to be off track when one lifts their hood.

When are you posting?

Are you going to test norma 165???

new sub.. great content, little better camera control but will be back

6:30 Why you wear safety glasses See the big piece of SOMETHING flying back over the dummy head

Ready!!!!

7:04 Something that I have observed on some of my own wacky experiments is that, with a heavy enough projectile, you can extrude a sabot or pusher plate out around it. I shot 50BMG projectiles on top of sabot bases for 50AE/500S&W projectiles out of a 12ga and the polymer components were actually smashed into the annular space around the projectile and separated entirely in some cases. Just something to keep an eye out for signs of. Edit: oh, you guys figured it out. Just throw a thick washer in there as a pusher plate, that should work.

Consider adding an aggregate to your resin.

These clearly aren't using the same powder that Hornady uses that can't even hit their advertised velocity.

Possibly consider lighter and faster for AP slugs. Something in the ballpark of 0.5 to 0.75 oz total payload weight, doing north of 2000 fps.

Seems like the best approach with tungsten would be to jacket it, or cast it in, or press fit it in as a core, into brass. If you're spinning it, and have the ability to have the tungsten machined, I'd take some notes from the Lehigh Extreme Penetrator line. Great work Sir, keep it up.

Im not completely sure but the tungsten from those fishing weights are probably too soft, especially since you easily carved grooves in the side of them. Tungsten CARBIDE is the kind you need for armor penetration. You can buy tungsten carbide rods online and sharpen/cut them with small dimond saws and dimond files. Also, tungsten carbide will probably destroy your rifling so it'll need a soft "jacket" to touch the rifling/barrel. Lastly, my idea for the future is 3d printed bullet jackets (not sabots) for sharpened tungsten carbide rods, think of the 3d jackets as easter egg shells snapping together around the rods (although its more complicated then that). With the "easter egg shell" method i think you could make a home made 556 and 308 bullet equivalent to m995 and m993. Also no way you get through lvl4 with shotgun velocities

Tungsten is a very hard metal and if it has a sharp tip it will shatter. Depleted uranium self sharpens on impact but that’s much harder to get a hold of l. I would recommend using a blunt tip tungsten rod with a diameter small enough to work as a sort of hole punch. This will help with penetration and prevent the project from shattering. Also speed beats armor so the faster the better.

I just bought a new pan for the lead plate and am getting the moon craters too. I think the teflon coating needs to be removed or burned off.

Lighter slugs maybe? From a body armor stand point this was interesting..

Today on Taofle... oh wait, hahaha. Interesting results, goes to show how difficult exotic loading can be.

I thought this was Tafladermaus for a minute

Was the hdpe annealed after the cast? Because it look like it was quite brittle

fuel for the algorithm

When's the test and what barrel length???

Great video and demonstration! 7 PRC is one of the best calibers out there currently! 7 mm bullets have better ballistics than the .308. I went the 7 PRC route over 300 WM...just a more efficient round and a beltless cartridge for reloading. Less recoil as well.

I wonder if a composite with sheet steel under epoxied bathroom tile ceramic would be effective. Based on the things I've seen on other channels, the ceramic would have no trouble breaking up many bullets, and the steel would likely be able to absorb the impact.

M113 be like:

What's going on with your breathing? Are you ok?

That is super cool.

I would put the fiberglass in the middle and wrap it with landscaping fabric

Great work

Can you make a video on how to make these?

I suggest trying Prince Rupert with fiberglass and resin

👻👻👻👻👻 to JRDS214

With this kind of expansion at 1000, I would be a little concerned at 50-100 being so soft, I have blown up ELDx on water jugs at 100 from a 7rem mag. But they do seem extremely accurate.

👻👻👻👻👻

the 160gsm uhmwpe UD from jeely really does wonders indeed

Awesome Video, Thank You!
