How 'bout "Tony Stank"?
@@UAM- human jelly beans?
@@patreekotime4578 no as in same body density as human body that is it mimics the same soft tissue and flesh in a human body so piercing that pierces human body same
I think there’s a reason that medieval knights wore padded shirts beneath their plate armor. Tony probably felt a few of those impacts in his mark one armor, and likely added some padding or a shock absorption of some kind.
Because Tony always learns from his mistakes.
That would be Mark II armor not Mark I. Mark I was the big bulky suit that was probably actually made out of Iron.
@@WalrusWinking The Mark I seems to have been constructed largely out of shell casings from Stark ordinance so titanium or aluminium are possible.
Also, yeah, the sheer mass of the Mark I would probably negate any significant transfer of momentum.
Yeah I imagine it must have really hurt medieval knights in 500AD when they were getting shot at by 45 calibre rounds.

The fact that they made the armor WAY thinner than what the Iron Man suit is supposed to be and it was still bulletproof is...Impressive.
To be fair, he only shot hollow-point and lead rounds at it. Not exactly AP
he used subsonic ofc its not going to penetrate

@@jouyang very hard to outrun a police force in a giant titanium suit, yall never seen the footage from the hollywood bank robbery?
Ned kelly time
Yeah it probably give people ideas
The Ironman suit was made with a titanium alloy, to compensate for high attitude flight. It also had a layer that went underneath the outer armor that housed sensors and vital scanners. there is also the mechanical layer. The MKII and MKIII were the closest to real world possibilities. I am sure the Armor was thicker, and that the inner suit has shock dispersal abilities so that the damage to the pilot would be minimal. In the movies he still felt the impact. Just proves how tough Tony Stark was.
Anything with multiple layers already disperses shock pretty well. The later movies had this weird obsession with making the suit look really sleek and thin. Take a look at the Iron man 3 poster, the scale of Tony's real hand is way off to the rest of the suit.
A gold titanium alloy...epimedipolyalloy..living tissue over metal endoskeleton battle chassis...from the future
@@25meip probably because he was making them faster they were able to easily get Destroyed in iron man 3.
Well idk, the movies make it seem like the armor actually just absorbs everything. Tony stark was crashing into and being hit by things that in the real world, even with a crazy suit, would have liquified him inside the suit. There’s a certain suspension of disbelief required for iron man
because Tony learns from his mistakes
I'm certain I can speak for mostly everyone here and elsewhere, that the world misses Mythbusters, and Adam, we definitely need the show to come back in some form, just like this video.
This is why medieval knights’ breastplates developed a V-shaped ridge under the neck at the top of the breastplate - it caught arrowheads and redirected them away from the neck of the knight.
@waptek what
@@caioaugusto3138 It was probably one-heck-of-a-knight. Or somethin... This armor needs fiber foam pads with some rubber to absorb the impact. And an A.I. and paint. And Tony Stark.
@@ForcesNL ...you do know they used a gamberson underneath the armour, don't you? Some even used chainmail aswell. And the force of a deflected arrow is not so great. It still could hurt you, but most likely would do naught against a well armoured knight.
@@caioaugusto3138 Yeah ofcourse. Just pointing at the printed piece. I wonder if carbon-titanium would be a better choice. No doubt alot more costly.
That is why body armor has anti-spalling
One thing to keep in mind is that ideally your armor doesn't contact your skin directly in places you are likely to get hit. That room for padding is crucial for protecting your life from the concussive forces
With handguns like that, there's actually not that much momentum (only as much as recoils into your hand... Newtown's 3rd law and all that...). Simply spreading it out over a wide area is perfectly sufficient.
@@sergarlantyrell7847 and that’s why the concept of dragon skin is so appetizing.
And some real sound proofing for the helmet. A little .22 would stun if it hit the side of the helmet otherwise.
Trauma pads.
@@Ogrematic Also the suit doesn't just rest on the flesh, it is a self-contained, rigid shell cage so the shock is absorbed by the complete exoskeleton, not the wearer's flesh.
Adam Savage oozes passion from everything he does. That makes everything he does just so fun to watch.
But no weapons that soldiers would use. No rifles, no green tipped ammo, no DU rounds.
Adam and Jamie are my childhood heroes, other kids watched cartoon shows, I waited everyday for the Mythbusters. And even my parents eventually joined in too, we made it into a family thing 😂

You have to consider that this version is very thin AND they're also not using any shock absorbing materials under it. The possibilities here...
They also are only using small non ap rounds. Ironman is getting shot with way stronger rounds in the movies. And a lot more than just a few times.
7.62 will go through with ease
You'd end up using layers of composite materials of course, even if the outermost layer behaved much like this titanium.
Possibly some polymer or carbon fibre layers.
Probably something like neoprene as a liner.
@@harrisonbaylor1432 Ironman was also using way thicker plates since his exoskeleton can move them around.
@@KaptainKuantum no it’s imaginary, like the material that made up frodos fancy shirt armour. What was it made of? Elf whispers? Or cotton? Doesn’t matter, it’s a prop.
Go hug your mom or something, feel something real maybe ❤
Rule of thumb, always change your target area by a noticable margin. Once a piece is hit it's compromised so moving your target area will allow us to see what it does against that caliber from the getgo
Yes, but also don't forget that in practice bullets would strike the same area sometimes, so you also need this
I mean this really only applies if it actually penetrates the armor
This only further proves the durability of the armor

Interesting, but I wish I knew the gauge differences between the steel plate and the titanium armor they used here. Also, mild steel (I’m assuming that’s what they used for this demonstration) is gonna behave differently than if it were tempered carbon steel. The properties of titanium are significantly lighter than steel, and as far as toughness goes, is basically comparable to carbon steel, with high carbon steel being able to actually reach higher hardness than titanium.
No hardness doesn't always mean stronger it's also dependent on other properties mass, size of atoms shape
Flexibility,
Edges,
Weight etc.
I didn’t say stronger, but steel has generally more mass and weight than titanium does inherently. And regardless of it being stronger or not, the properties of steel being hardened may still react differently than your sheet of titanium.
Hardness and toughness are two different measures. Hardness is great but too much and you shatter instead of bending/denting.
@@Khunkurisu I know that
The lead shrapnel in the neck is interesting. When Tod Cutler did an 'arrows vs breastplate' test, they found that arrows would ricochet up toward the neck similarly, and that this is why raised grooves were put on many medieval breastplates: to deflect shrapnel away from the throat and face. Iron Man would likely want some kind of coating on that armor to catch the shrapnel as it shatters.
Well iron man usually is fully covered in the neck. But I think for protecting civilians from ricochets he should put some spalling coating on it
Send this to demolition ranch. We will decide whether or not its bulletproof wen matt gets his hands on it.
Obviously at some point bullets will starts going through. The sheets of titanium here are so thin that you can see it flexing
I was going to say the same thing
The flexing would actually help dissipate kinetic energy so it isn't focused in one spot, it just needs something like graphene or tungsten scales or something like that on the outside of the plating to provide a solid impact face... Not that they'd have the additional funding to apply something like that.
Please send to demo ranch
@@Im-mv6bf I think they knew full well that if they used rifle rounds the armor and dummy would be toast
The thing is, the actual armor would be thicker as well. Weight doesnt matter too much ether considering is is an armored exosuit.
It also likely wouldn't be sitting directly on his chest. Similar to medieval plate armor, you wouldn't want the metal to be in direct contact with your body, since any force distributed into the armor would then transfer right into your squishy organs. Leave a little space and it has room to dent in safely, or distribute that force elsewhere throughout the armor, instead of delivering damage into your body.
The thing is, there’s no “actual armour”, it’s a movie. You can’t make such a suit to be rigid everywhere, covers every corner, is self propelled, and also totally flexible, that doesn’t even obey the laws of geometry.
And, the bad guys are using at least, AK-47 not hand guns, very big difference.
I think they did make some costumes of various Mark Iron Man suits for the MCU, but the things is they were claustrophobic for Robert Downey Jr on top of every other cons that came with it so they switched to CGI
@@chengong388 "You can’t make such a suit to be rigid everywhere and also totally flexible"
Clearly it is not. It has hinges and joins that move, but the rest functions like plates of metal would: they don't move or bend very much.
"is self propelled,"
That's a little more complicated. With enough thrust, you can make anything self-propelled. But in this case, you have to miniaturize the thrusters and the power source, which isn't possible with current technology, though there are similar ideas: Gravity's Jet Suit is an actual product that does this, (admittedly without the weight of titanium armor added onto that).
@@Kurse_of_Kall what about under the armpit?
self-propelled as in all the joints be motorized, not in terms of flight, that obviously makes this even more difficult but not relevant in terms of protection.
0:25 "It's like a cooking show but with guns" LOL I got some serious Deadpool vibes outa that line! XD
The Iron Man suit is a Titanium/Gold alloy. The Gold, is allegedly supposed to help with impact pressure/damage. Because it is a metal that is soft but retains its solidity when struck. Like squishing gum. It will take different shapes but not come apart. Great, great show & experiment guys. This is why I can't live -- without Mythbusters.
Yes, he didn't use larger calibre rounds, but Iron Man's armor is thicker and made with other materials making it much stronger. The fact that a thinner Titanium suit stops those rounds EASILY is pretty impressive.
True, the Iron Man's suit is supposed to be WAY thicker, in fact without the powered and motored parts would be impossible to move with that on...
Do you remember the tank shooted at his face, if I remember correctly, would that be possible.

@@StrykerV8 what he do to his sister
This is awesome! Thank you for doing this. Looks like I'll be watching Discovery Channel
I always assumed that Tony Stark's built-in Arc reactor also provided a strong magnetic field surrounding each suit of armor to help protect against projectiles, explosions, and directed energy weapons. The Arc reactor is basically unlimited power contained within its core so it wasn't just the suit by itself that helped protect the wearer from harm.
Or advance since the arc might have an electromagnetic barrier that envelops his armor. Thats my speculation.
Would it be fair to say it would lessen the impact of larger caliber to that of these tests?
No. Bullets are usually made of lead and lead is not magnetic, thus a magnetic field would not provide any protection against bullets. Ditto for explosions, except for perhaps shrapnel that happened to be magnetic. It might protect against that, but only that. Even then, shrapnel moving at high enough speeds could still get through.
@@Tantalus010 fair enough, I fall back on the fact the suit had thicker walls. It was a powered suit so weight didn't mean too much.
You don’t have to assume you can just check on the internet.. he does not have that ability according to the wiki

I can't believe this worked THAT well. Cover the armor with a thin layer of padding on the outside and some kevlar on the inside and that person will be VERY well protected.
it's rounded, solid plate armor vs very low powered, lead core bullets....what exactly surprises you about this.....?
Iron man definitely takes a few rounds from AK-47s, a mounted LMG, and a tank. Would love to see a part 2...
His armor is also alot thicker
I thought the tank shot either missed (the one on the ground) or was actually just the flack from an airburst
Yeah the tank shot was pure fiction
@@MastaChafa rip internal organs
@@freddierhodes8201 he actually redirects the tank shot, which this video somewhat sheds some light on.
but yknow, this is also why Stark doesn't build his suits out of titanium like Adams is...in fact he doesnt use titanium in any suit at all, its titanium alloy...
Production quality has gone way up. This feels more like Mythbusters again even though it's a small team making the show.
He has even manages to maintain his childlike giddiness even after doing this kind of thing for years.
Adam Savage's enthusiasm is so infectious, it could get me excited about almost anything.
at 6:00, the term in "Spalling". Most modern armors have "Spall Guards", in various forms (as a gorget, a rhino liner like coating on the plates, heavy canvas covering, etc).
This just straight printed titanium, imagine what could a more "engineered" version could do?
Possible to stop some rifle rounds but not AP ammo
Great point! I did a fair amount of research in metal printing (mostly aluminum), and there's a lot of variables to tweak to maximize certain characteristics. I am 100% positive someone with the know-how could make an even more impact resistant part than this, just by adjusting printing parameters and stock formulation.
@@SpencerPaire Yeah, just print it thicker lol
@@zack9912000 No, not unless they make the plates much thicker. This wouldn't have any chance of stopping a rifle round currently. That being said, if you changed the design and made it have some extremely sharp angles and made it thicker it could stop 5.56, or deflect it at least.
@@johnmclain250 Well the OP was talking about a more engineered design, also it would not have to be that much thicker to stop smaller rifle rounds.
I recall Tony getting shot with a Tank’s artillery. Test that next.
Tony's suit is far thicker and made of so many top metals that it can withstand more than the thin example we see here
@@JohnDoe_Gaming the Ironman suit ignores concussive force. So even if the tank round itself didn’t penetrate, the force would do serious internal damage to a wearer. I mean it’s not Vibranium after all
@@terickstefanie4684 Iron man can fall 10 stories in his suit and not be jello inside it.. It ignores physics entirely.
@Joe Mama yeah remember in The Dark Knight when Batman jumped out of a window after Rachel and they landed on a car
@@Dicknballz52 he OFTEN pulls stunts that are many g's. For example in iron man 1, he is supersonic and extremely quickly slows down to where the fighter jets lose him. I think it's pretty safe to say that he has some way of dampening forces. Do remember that he has access to Howard Starks stuff, and he did study vibranium (edit spell check doesn't know what vibranium is). Though it's not stated, I don't find it unreasonable that he has some way to dampen the forces involved with the g's he pulls all the time, and if that were the case, he could probably take the hit from the tank assuming the tank she'll doesn't penetrate his armor, or overloads the dampening.

The ballistic gel absorbed a lot of the energy, which is why you didn't get the denting you did in the steel plate.
They often cover ballistic plates in a coating to reduce spalling and keep that shrapnel out of your throat.
They also design body armor with small collars to deflect any shrapnel that skips across the face of the armor
Iron man also has a helmet so he’ll be alright
@@Nicksperiments You mean like a helmet full of metal bits? It would have to cover so tightly to the neck that you couldn't move, to block it. Maybe if they can make some telescoping parts to cover the neck and leave no gaps...

There is actually late Medieval body armor that has a protective fold downward from the neck, to prevent splinters etc from breaking arrows to slip upwards into your throat. So the problem the Iron Man Suit is having here, has actually been solved hundreds of years ago.
I imagine its part of the reason why when he was using the Mk1 suit, he put the leather scrap around his neck. Either that or he's a big fan of the USMC lol
Not just arrows, the arquebus and musket were around the same time as plate armor, they just weren’t super common in military use yet.
French Knights during the Battle of Agincourt wore rounded breastplates where the armor was thicker, and had a raised V-notch below the neck to deflect arrows and fragments away from the neck area.
@@jeffburnham6611 I am no expert, I think that's the one I was thinking of
You could also put a layer of Kevlar over the titanium to catch the fragments. Then you could keep the same shape
what material is it?
Id love to see the step up to rifle round. But that armor multiple strikes at same place and still don't fail
WELCOME to Demolition Ranch, on today's episode we have Iron Man's armor kindly donated by Adam Savage
YES! I want to see how much damage it can really take!
Lol
@@dustingray4551 Five Seven would probably pierce trough
*laughs in .50 BMG*
@@luizbernard000 honestly that’s the round I’m most curious about.
"His armor! It's bulletproof, sir!"
"Aim for the big glowing target in the middle."
Thats cheating. You never aim for the vitals.
Considering how genius Tony is ,I'm pretty sure he would have made a strong glass (strongest in the world) to protect the reactor
@@vigneshv3846 Why not add in some strongest wiring and cpu's in the world as well. I mean who cares that many rilfes can break through bulletproof 'strongest in the world glasses'. All we care about is our fantasy right. Lol.
Arc reactor is made up of vibranium. So u were right.
Is anyone even asking why it needs to be exposed in the first place?
I would love to know what gauge the titanium was in order to get this result.
I love the chest piece wish someone can make a light but thick plated at the same
“It’s like a cooking show but with guns.” That made me laugh out loud rofl
Something to consider with this armor, it isn't forged Titanium, it's 3D printed. It's not made as one solid piece, but printed in layers. If you look closely you can see the layer lines on the closeups. To me, this test is a profound statement for the AM process as well.
SOme question to the one with knowlenge.
Is it a : fillament , when yes what kind.
What printer is used?
Wich episode was this?
Was it a powder sintering proces? FDM?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe the layers provide a degree of shock absorption.
@@bala1boy43 Depending on what Tony puts between the layers that could help a lot with some of the shots he takes.
In the 3d printing process, titanium powder is melted down as it exits a nozzle (by laser or electron beam) fusing all particles together. Before the advent of 3d printing, CNC machining was the preferred method for aerospace and medical titanium manufacturing. Due to its lack of precision, and titanium not being very malleable, forging never has been used for such applications. (if you were thinking along the lines of forging and knights in armor, Titanium wasn't used in the middle ages for armor, because we weren't even aware of is existence until the 200 years ago, nor had the technology to extract it I'm useable amounts until more modern times. It is also a brittle metal, any attempt at forging titanium armor, if successful, would be very weakened and brittle).
@@ctsd623 The More You Know! / TodayILearned
The design flaw they highlighted is that it needs ridges to deflect away shrapnel away from any joints (armor to helmet, torso to arms, etc). Some medieval armor had this to deflect arrows that glanced the armor.
Fun fact, Tony mentions that the suit is made of a gold-titanium alloy. There was a research paper in material science that found that there is a gold-titanium alloy ratio with even greater durability in terms of shearing and tension that regular titanium.
in a year were gonna see adam savage flying around new york city fighting aliens
Jamie is Nick Fury?
@@Menaceblue3 Jamie is absolutely Nick Fury
Just gotta lock the man in a cave
And getting ptsd in the process before snapping thanos into nonexistance
Illeagle Aliens?
I am genuinely impress by how well the armor did.
I am not, It was a forgone conclusion. 5.56 and 7.62 getting stopped like that would have made quite the statement though. It won't stop that, let alone .50 BMG.
that is full on sick
Very cool!
angle of impact plays a huge factor in resistance. Thats why most body armor throughout history has been curved.
Id be really interested in seeing him continue this project.
something tells me it wouldn't stand up to a higher velocity rifle...
Possible, yet the plates thickness comes into play vs weight/ mobility
Given the thickness of the plates, and the fact it's made of titanium, it would not stop any rifle round at all that I can think of.
@@johnmclain250 .22 LR :)
@@johnmclain250 Would be fun to watch Adam test it with common rifle rounds. Such as .223, 5.56, .308, and the like would make for a fun day.
@@a.s.e.r.inc.2009 Interesting / fun video on various 50 cal rounds versus 2 inches of titanium. Search in UA-cam "2 inch Titanium vs 50 Cals Baddest Rounds." You can skip to about the 11 minute mark.
That was so interesting in so many ways. 3d printed titanium armor? Amazing. And no bullets penetratrated? And shrapnel is a big problem? So interesting
How thick was the titanium?
Dear Adam:
Thanks for bringing me back to my highschool years of just binge-watching your show on Discovery. Can't tell you how much I miss it. Your squad made it so much fun.
Can we see rifle rounds off this. I'm curious how big you can go!
It is proof to small caliber bullets - yay!
Would be cool to see how it holds up against modern intermediate bullets up to and including .50cal.
I'd like to see how that armor stands up to rifle hunting rounds. This was an awesome demonstration though!
You'd be surprised how many things are bulletproof when shot with a 9mm.
Let's move up to rifle calibers though...
You'll need thicker armor which compared to the movies, it would seem that Iron Mans armor is much thicker then what is presented here. Though I suppose if you wanted you could mathematically extrapolate it.
@@StephanBijzitter Only one of the bullets shot was hollow point and it was the first of 2 9mm rounds shot at the steel plate, all other rounds were normal
@@StephanBijzitter only one of them was hollow point though
The 9mm isn't a hollow point. It's an 147 grain FMJ and when come to the 147 grain 9mm they sometimes are call flat nose. The 22 LR is one of those lead round nose so basically range ammo..so umm..do the math...lead and copper aren't strong as iron.
OP is right though. Move up the calibers to rifles. I say..move up to green tips.
5.56 NATO rounds would shred through those flimsy titanium plates. A more accurate comparison, given Iron Man was being shot at with rifles in most movies.
Never in a million years would I have expected that result. Well done
The .22lr and .45 acp not going through didn’t surprise me, but the 9mm did.
@@shotgunsam23 The 9mm they used was subsonic
Hearing Adam say "3...2...1..." again made me a little bit emotional not gonna lie
How does the armor stand up to rifle rounds. I would love to see a similar test at 50-100 feet with a 5.56 NATO, 7.62 Nato, .308, and 30-06.
