Surprise cameo at the end! Have you used any of the unidirectional Kevlar? I read a study abstract (the main text is in Chinese) that putting woven UHMWPE layers in front of UD layers absorbs 20% more energy. It would be interesting to see if the same holds true for Kevlar. The study is "Ballistic mechanism of the hybrid panels with UHMWPE woven fabrics and UD laminates" if you wanted to read the abstract.
I’m considering trying out homemade armor plate for fun. I was considering carbon fiber and Kevlar with epoxy. Have you done a combination plate with layers of carbon fiber and Kevlar, maybe even fiberglass as a third material? I don’t know how many layers I would need with the better materials. Thanks
Are there any plans to connect them? I mean 1/3rd of uhwmpe or kevlar + 1/3 of FRP. or add buffer material so it will be kevlar+polyurethane+FRP with weight less than kevlar only target.

The kevlar used in this video has 5 layers K29 and 20 layers of UD Kevlar
@@3RBallistics Good to know, thank you.
love your videos and the info on the stuff you create.
this is really good
Pretty fly

At 3:25, with the pill hitting the fiberglass, there is a green flash. What is the flash from?
@@keithcon3505 sorry, had to look that up. It’s triboelectricity/triboluminescence if you were wondering
Are there any modificators for epoxy resin used ? I mean plasticizers at first.
Did the fiberglass withstand the 44 Magnum? No pass through?
Yes, it stops the 44 magnum easily. I have other videos showing how well the fiberglass holds up as well.

I do have something like this I plan on testing. I even have all the material, just need to find the time to get it done.
@@3RBallistics Is it OK for you that I fountaining with ideas which look like advices?
By the way, what full auto rifle do you feel has the best accuracy in full auto?
What slow-mo camera did you use?
I use a Chronos 1.4 set to about 10,000 frames per second
@@3RBallistics Much obliged
