I’m amazed with how effective these turned out, you should bring them on a shadiversity test episode just to see Nate and Shad’s heads explode. Especially against a proper shield or armor.
Yeah, I don't think it's getting through a real shield. He had a big advantage against the round plank of wood because it was flat, a shield's curve gives it structural strength that the plank lacked. There's also the way it's held. The plank was held by its sides and punched in the middle. Meanwhile a shield is held more or less from the middle and thus is much more sturdy.
@@bolbyballinger but to be fair, even against a real shield its going to rock the balance of the person holding it, its basically a sledgehammer kind of hit, the force alone would be enough to throw off the opponent
@@bolbyballinger it being round or not depends on the type of shield like the viking shield is flat , and held from the middle allows it to pivot if hit hard enough,( they held it like they did for safety reasons ) and while theres no outer ring holding that together i can see these bing effective
I tested it out myself(just last night) and it can, but there's two caveats... 1. The armor and shield weren't of great quality, on the cheaper side 2. It stung Even so, they're effective anti-armor regardless. Even if you don't smash off pieces or cave it in, the sheer force is sufficient to cause severe injury straight through the armor. And a punch is more than sufficient to knock a shield user off balance and knock the shield aside, opening them up for a follow up strike(you have two). I wouldn't recommend trying to cave in plate, though. You will almost definitely break or dislocate something, unless the plate is rusted or super super low grade. Just stick to the tried and true "rattle brain case" technique.
@@marcogenovesi8570 yes but their also not nearly as common. whether that's because their illegal in a lot of places so not really produced or another reason I'm not sure. though inferior really depends on the user since there's been people who survived numerous stabs from a knife. while someone like Mike Tyson would potentially be able to make a human skull look like a watermelon. since he had/has a estimated punching force of 1600ft lbs/ 2169 joules. while it only takes 1100ft lbs/ 1491 joules to break a skull
Brass knuckles are more about force concentration. They add some mass, but for the most part their increased damage is the result of putting the same amount of force into a smaller area. These are definitely about adding mass, might lower speed and make a minimal impact on force but increases momentum by a lot. Plus there is some force concentration as well.
I do believe cinder blocks are punched (bare fist) by some martial artists, but you have to be pretty damn good to do it. Without either a large amount of time spent training or some sort of protection for your wrists, like these fists, you're more likely to just break yourself. My taekwondo master can break cinder blocks, for example, but if I were to try I'd likely just kill my own wrist. Probably a few months at least, or more realistically a few years given university, before I can work my way up to cinder blocks.
Just goes to show you that a disarmed knight is still incredibly lethal. I'm sure there are cases in history where someone who has lost their wrapon, has continued to mow down enemies with just his gauntlets.
I'd like to see a follow-up on this against targets that are much sturdier. A lot of the force you were putting out with these gauntlets was dispersed into a target that would then tip over or fly away or break off etc etc. If you punched something that wouldn't move, all that force would be put back into the weapon and subsequently, whatever it's attached to. That would be the real test to see if the design is capable of protecting the wielder from that force. Really neat concept, and I love the idea of this type of fist weapon!
There wouldn't really be a point to that you don't really use any weapon against something that it isn't going to break, testing it in a manner more akin to "real use" is much more informative Thanks for watching hope you enjoyed.
I definitely think you had a better idea to show the durability of the gloves and what kind of feedback you'd feel punching towards the end when you started punching the tree, I think you needed a more "solid" analogue to hit to really send the idea of these gauntlets home.
The song that you use while building your Hercules gloves was 🔥 I could be wrong but I think thats Teddy Swims anyways the Hercules gloves came out great!
Very enlightening! I also kind of figured the shockwave up the arm would be painful, and you've proven that's not the case. One other drawback is not being able to grab/hold/pick up anything, imo. I could definitely see using one on my off-hand as a power-punch and maybe even a bit of a shield. Very cool!
To really test the shock asorption a pretty easy method would be to have punched the concret block along the cross section while it was on the ground. Also can really see how much force can be transferred against a more rigid target. Punching the tree is not terrible, just doesn't really show just what your punches could do.
Idea: Win the lottery, buy a house, and revisit this project by smashing a house to smithereens. Secondary idea: Get a shit-ton of drywall and just charge through, wearing these things.
i have a very important question, if shadiveristy dies does this channel live on or does it die with it.(i hope it survives i dont think i can live without these vids)
This Channel is all I can Speak for and I dont plan on stopping ATM, however upload frequency might slow down a little as I try to put alot into these Episodes and they take quite alot of time and weekly just isnt really working for me , But thanks for watch man
I'm glad your recent rating video mentioned this video, because I never saw this video on my feed. But I'm glad I got to watch it now, because like you, I've always LOVED the idea of fist weapons. After using these, what do you think would be the most effect shape for it? Conical? Rounded? Spiked?
fyi "cinder blocks" paving blocks etc are basically cement with out gravel that you can see. They use cinders small fragments of non combustible material left over after you burn wood in place of gravel. They are quite strong in compression (the blocks or pavers) but are brittle to impact and break "easy" You can knock holes in cinder blocks with little trim hammers that are 6 or 8 oz. Your fists are working because the lion head has many small impact points allowing you to break through. Not saying they would not really mess someone up if you hit them they would and would do so because of that same reason and you are adding mass to your punches.
I'm a bit late to the show but if you see this and wanna give the power fist thing another go, I'd recommend a slight addition to this build. Instead of hydraulics, you could just attach a metal water bottle, ½-¾ full of liquid (mercury would be best but that's obviously dangerous so water should work fine), into the underside of this design. That would give you that double hit kind of action that you would get with a fo4 style power fist.
I've always liked power fist weapons too. Those are basically upgraded armored, and weighted boxing gloves. Other UA-cam creators have made pneumatic or hydraulic power fists 40k style. Let's see your take on one of those next!
Those things look awesome Tyranth. I had a feeling they would work well, the way you made them, as they are like the superplus version of dusters, so even better, without even the pain, because of the gloves. Musical greetings from Belgium, Gunther (singer and lyrics writer of Gabriel Scar)
You should plant some banana trees in the shadlands, they would be great to test this thing. Also great to test cutting weapons. They grow very fast and, after they produce the bananas, that tree needs to be cut down anyways, so you would soon have a pretty nice amount to test your stuff on
In game they were weilded by a demigod and were scaled to his size. Yours are kinda slapped together versions. Imagine a fully customized version of it (scaled like harakles but to you instead) or to the hands of a person with a strong punch?
I'm a little late to this, but hear me out. In God of War there are 2 rings (held by magic) on the forearms. Those rings are meant to slam into the front to make a second impact. Don't know how that would work without the magic, but I wanted to put down my thoughts if you ever wanted to revisit these.
I like how scuffed and junky they are. The real thing would be like a ton of metal on each arm, so maybe this is for the better. Brawling is my favorite type of fighting and I didn't expect these to work at all. I'm really surprised about the force distribution and I think you could have gone over the physics or biokinetics of that. I'm also impressed by the idea of putting all the force of a punch into one small point, because I've seen maybe one instance of that in fantasy art, but never in motion.
@Ohimeshinso not to mention in game they were weilded by a demigod and his are kinda slapped together versions. Imagine a fully customized version in the hands of a person with a strong punch. I second everything you said. These are truly cool.
I like this a ton, but I would like more testing with more targets. Pig carcass would be awesome, ballistic dummy, maybe more shield testing with different types of shields being held in place in a more natural manner.
i like it. i'm curious as to whether he's ever tackled the idea of making at least one Lego weapon, as a full sized thing. i'm thinking a Ninjago sword, the one Zane uses in the movie, looks like it could be made out of something like a dense hard wood, red oak or a nice thick branch from a burled maple. either works or it could be made out of metal, somehow.
This seems like one of the more intricate things you've made, though someone can probably point me at more of your awesome works. How's it like to put on? Do you need a squire or is it doable by yourself?
Putting them one isnt too far off putting normal boxing gloves it is alot more tight of a fit , and to be fair the gloves were not a particularly expensive pair. If you want to check out some of my more complex builds you will find them on my second channel www.youtube.com/@TYRANTH_
Honestly you should test boxing gloves (leather outer layer) on your free time. I’ve punched down unsupported brick walls down with them with only slight discomfort and a few rests. The gloves do get cut and that usually ends the fun but boxing gloves do allow you to hit way harder with no pain.
i once made something like that out of a thick metal vase i found in a basement, i broke off the legs, put some cloth in it to fill dead space and then punched an old wooden door resting against a wall... i punched right through, cracking the brick behind it, paint flakes just splintering around... hurt like hell tho because i created that thing in a minute from scrap... in a cave... but i think whats interesting is that the kinetic energy you create with those is kinda different from swinging a weapon like a hammer, instead of relying on the weight, momentum and muscles, this felt more like shoving my body weight concentrated into the punch as primary fuel... maybe like a spear thrust? speed ram... so i wonder what this would do to metal and armor.... car doors? also given that our legs are way more powerfull, what about a full metal boot... high heels are already categorized as weapons in some american court cases i think
I was going to leave a comment saying "I'd like to see you recreate a cestus from Roman times and test the effectiveness of those." but I did a quick search and I can answer my own questions just by looking at them; little better than cloth wraps with glass glued to them, if we stick to movie tropes.
Shadiversity video idea: how good/destructive are proper mitten gauntlets as a weapon, if you dont have any other backup weapons on you anymore? Could be looking at different scenarios: battlefield (both armoured, vs weapons), duelling (unarmed vs sword etc, hits on the gauntlet obviously dont count so you can parry with them) and so on.
These gloves are a bit off from the ones in the game. The ones in the game have 3 free floating rings that would add additional impacts. During the punch the rings are driven to the back of the glove and upon impact drive forward for a second impact
there's another fist weapon similar to the "Hercules Fists": the Hands of God, from Demon's Souls. they fit well with your analogy of how draining to your stamina the Hercules Fists are to use (as in you used a Soulsborne UI). the bars of steel you used made me ask a question: i wonder if you could make a shortsword out of them? it wouldn't be the right kind of steel for a functional sword, granted, but i genuinely wonder if you could make a shortsword with a large enough bar of steel.
I think the reason these kinds of weapons were not used historically isn't because they didn't work it is simply because well having your hands constantly full is sort of a handicap. Plus take a piece of metal of equivalent wait and put it on a stick and well you get a mace of hammer for one but you also get a more powerful weapon which doesn't constantly bind up your hands. Then their is also reach which well i think that one is pretty obvious.
Man, those worked much better than I expected! I wonder how effective they would be if the target was fully supported instead of on a stool? Since you have the door knockers, I wonder how much damage you could do to a door? Judging by the "shield" test, I bet you could force your way through a door.
Man destroys the world: "...I felt nothing." [grins]

I tested it out myself(just last night) and it can, but there's two caveats...
1. The armor and shield weren't of great quality, on the cheaper side
2. It stung

Tyranth has discovered why people still use brass knuckles
It’s way better because the load it takes off your wrist. These are Knucks with a tactical stock
Brass knuckles still hurt your hands, in fact they hurt them more than punching bare knuckle
do people still use those? Every sketchy dude around here has a blade, why settle for inferior stuff
@@marcogenovesi8570 yes but their also not nearly as common. whether that's because their illegal in a lot of places so not really produced or another reason I'm not sure.
though inferior really depends on the user since there's been people who survived numerous stabs from a knife.
while someone like Mike Tyson would potentially be able to make a human skull look like a watermelon. since he had/has a estimated punching force of 1600ft lbs/ 2169 joules. while it only takes 1100ft lbs/ 1491 joules to break a skull

With each punch you have to say "Knock, Knock!"
I still see a lot of trees mocking you... 😈
He's like Baldur. "I can't feel ANY of this!"
He's back and stronger than ever, quite literally.
Tyranth is like a mix between Tony Stark and the Mandalorian! Great stuff man!
Leaves a big old lion face imprint on the forehead.
So ironic... I *just* started a fist weapon playthrough of Fallout 4.
Crazy, I'm doing the same thing but in Elden Ring as Batman
I do believe cinder blocks are punched (bare fist) by some martial artists, but you have to be pretty damn good to do it.

Definitely need a crossover episode with Shadiversity for this one! Well done!
I'm glad that Marcus is still around the Shadiversity people
Hey Tyranth, glad these worked out so well for you and didn't even hurt you in the process. You looked like you had a lot of fun testing those.
"I just obliterated that thing, and i felt nothing" -me playing beat saber expert +
God damn Tyranth got mad squabbles, pretty good form especially on sand with such heavy weapons
Just goes to show you that a disarmed knight is still incredibly lethal.
I'm sure there are cases in history where someone who has lost their wrapon, has continued to mow down enemies with just his gauntlets.
exist some history of kinites using helmets for battle, in the firts crusade, and now to day i know they didnt exagerete the damage.
@@VillegasJuanCarlos Oh, like hitting with the helmet.
First I imagined a knight just running around headbutting the shit out of everyone 😁
Yeah boiii Tyranth's back! Love this series keep it up man

Guys I think he weighted his gloves, he's cheating!
Dont tell no one haha
you could tear down a concrete wall with those, holy crap
"I've dabbled in power fists before", that's what she said 😂😂😂
These fists versus armor would be quite the spectacle
I agree maybe one day I would be able to do that
I imagine a fixed spike Pile Bunker would be pretty deadly against armor. Like a Bec de Corbin version of the Lion Head Caestus
9:09 That sound make me chill.
I love it! ❤
Didn't think they would work tbh. Was genuinely surprised they managed to break cinder blocks.
Great choice of music around the 3:00 timeline. Gets the vibes going pretty good
Nice build/test. I feel like you could hammer away all day with them
Back at it again with the sick builds. Very cool
Thanks for watching man
The song that plays during the build is "Ice & Fire" by King Canyon
💀💀take a drink everytime he says "I felt nothing"🤣
The song that you use while building your Hercules gloves was 🔥 I could be wrong but I think thats Teddy Swims anyways the Hercules gloves came out great!
Im a VERY BIG Weapons Fanatic and THOSE LOOK AWESOME. !!!! 👊😁
I mean, gladiators used to use something similar to this, but it's so cool seeing them made with today's materials. Awesome vid Tyranth.
Somehow, I missed this video when it came out. Went back cuz of your ranking video. These are wicked! Love it!💚
This episode was absolutely awesome. Such simple concept, yet so effective and powerful.

Brass Fist? That is Awesome Tyranth!
It's not a perfect replica of Hercules Gauntlet but good enough😂lol.
I do not expect him to have this good form of fighting technique. brudda been trainin

This is like having brass knuckles on boxing gloves. Seems like something that would have been created already.
Damn this man is cooking wit these god of war vids I might have to come back
After every test, I was wondering how these weapons would do against a tree. Then you stand next to a downed tree and barely throw a punch at it 😂
I'm a bit late to the show but if you see this and wanna give the power fist thing another go, I'd recommend a slight addition to this build. Instead of hydraulics, you could just attach a metal water bottle, ½-¾ full of liquid (mercury would be best but that's obviously dangerous so water should work fine), into the underside of this design.

SEASON 2
WOOOOO
Tyranth I commend your simplistic ingenuity
You should plant some banana trees in the shadlands, they would be great to test this thing. Also great to test cutting weapons. They grow very fast and, after they produce the bananas, that tree needs to be cut down anyways, so you would soon have a pretty nice amount to test your stuff on
Be careful when using a door knocker, it could knock back xD
In game they were weilded by a demigod and were scaled to his size. Yours are kinda slapped together versions. Imagine a fully customized version of it (scaled like harakles but to you instead) or to the hands of a person with a strong punch?
Stam consumption. Ah. Its a DS2 weapon, gotcha
Given those punches looked pretty casual I would love to see pro boxer with set of those gloves.
Maybe he could go down the local club and get some of the lads to test them out?
I'm a little late to this, but hear me out. In God of War there are 2 rings (held by magic) on the forearms. Those rings are meant to slam into the front to make a second impact. Don't know how that would work without the magic, but I wanted to put down my thoughts if you ever wanted to revisit these.
One of my favorite toys growing up were the bulky Hulk fists and box other kids who also had a pair 😁
I thought that you would flatten the knocker plates flat. Impressive results.
Using the boxing glove as a base a good idea. How would this work vs the undead and skeleton warriors.
be....our.....guest! be our guest put our punches to the test, tie a bandage around your wrists sarie and we'll provide the rest!
I like how scuffed and junky they are. The real thing would be like a ton of metal on each arm, so maybe this is for the better.

This was really sick!!
i like it. i'm curious as to whether he's ever tackled the idea of making at least one Lego weapon, as a full sized thing. i'm thinking a Ninjago sword, the one Zane uses in the movie, looks like it could be made out of something like a dense hard wood, red oak or a nice thick branch from a burled maple. either works or it could be made out of metal, somehow.
This seems like one of the more intricate things you've made, though someone can probably point me at more of your awesome works.

Punching weapons are amazing until someone keeps them just out of range. This is why strength versus agility build is always a treat.
Of course you got through pine, pine is one of the softest woods out there, try Oak
i once made something like that out of a thick metal vase i found in a basement, i broke off the legs, put some cloth in it to fill dead space and then punched an old wooden door resting against a wall... i punched right through, cracking the brick behind it, paint flakes just splintering around... hurt like hell tho because i created that thing in a minute from scrap... in a cave... but i think whats interesting is that the kinetic energy you create with those is kinda different from swinging a weapon like a hammer, instead of relying on the weight, momentum and muscles, this felt more like shoving my body weight concentrated into the punch as primary fuel... maybe like a spear thrust? speed ram... so i wonder what this would do to metal and armor.... car doors? also given that our legs are way more powerfull, what about a full metal boot... high heels are already categorized as weapons in some american court cases i think

Of course some stamina is necessary but nothing like a sword of the same weight I would assume.
I was surprised that you didn’t get hurt by it
bro sounding like baldur alot 🤣
