Hmm. Decisions decisions. Buy from your link, or from the 60 other UA-camrs I follow; from the dozens of times they’ve posted their link. There might still be 5 people out there that haven’t heard of one of these sponsors that sponsor almost every single content creator. 🙄. So maybe you’ll get lucky and one of them will watch your video before they watch one of the 1000’s of others
Cody needs to send his maille to Tod Cutler and see if they can get through it with proper war arrows from a longbow. If that happened I'd be so stoked.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CODYYYYYYY WOOOOHOOOO
They use to wear leather or padding under the mail which should help with the arrow fragments from penetrating the flesh
Bring back the lock test!!! And Kanyon.
Hello to all Cody'sLab viewers
Hi ;)
That me!
Yo!
Howdy folk
Hello Mr.!
I'm stuck in an infinite loop now because Cody said to watch this video after his finished, and now you are telling me to watch his after yours finishes
Dude… same. I already called off work tomorrow.
Same, my wife is going to kill me lol
Poor thing
Form those loops into some chain mail.
This is the song that doesn’t eeeend…
Cody finding you dead body on the battle ground: "My chainmail's fine, bit dented, but I can straighten that out on my anvil" ☺
In the not too distant future, the armor is worth more than the pilot.
That's why there are hardly any armors rated for .50 and above. It's not that you can't stop *a* bullet of that caliber, it's that there so much energy there that even if you spread it over a plate it's still too much.
Just to clarify a soldier would wear padded armor underneath chainmail so there is a possibility the arrow splinters may not have gone through
Probably a decent bit of leather under the chain would have stopped the arrow shaft going through. The blunt force trauma from the "cannon ball" would have taken out like all the ribs though (with enough padding underneath the mail still possibly survivable?).
@@fetzie23 The shock going through the body would probably also have fractured the spine in several places. People who hit the pavement from very tall buildings look relatively fine on the outside but bones on the opposite side of the impact are still shattered.
@@fetzie23 if it is possible to make the cannonball survivable, it'd probably be pretty difficult imo, but yeah chainmail would either be worn under other armors like scale, leather or plate with a layer of padded quilt underneath if I remember correctly. All that would definitely protect against an arrow since the chainmail definitely stopped the arrow and splintered it
@@fetzie23 Quilted gambeson would stop the arrow shaft better than leather and also redistribute the impact better.
Also back in them days they wouldn't of had carbon fiber, so the arrow body would of been wood or metal (most likely wood), and either turned to dust or just bent, and not splintered quite like carbon does. Any wood splinters being way less sharp than a thin bit of carbon, and much easier to break apart on contact with the chainmail.
its cool that the chainmail would survive the cannon shot but the person wearing it is still very dead lol
Perfect for the next user
Peak efficiency lol
@@Gandhi_Physiquelol perfect; to also die in?
It's a very special chainmail, meant to save the next soldier behind you on the battlefield.
It's not so much as the chance of getting hit by a cannon ball. It's the weight of wearing that and all of your gear...
To be fair, if you were wearing 200 pounds of chainmail, you might be more likely to survive an encounter because you would collapse from exhaustion before making it to the battle
You'd have a team of 4 squires with hooks on a rope and stick similar to a fishing pole but much sturdier, to lift up your chainmail and reduce the weight you have to bear as you walk in it.
@mrkiky 4 even more encumbered dudes with less martial training, tasty.
I did chuckle though, cause I can imagine some king out there actually doing that.
brother with all due respect, I hope your comment is for the funnies. An average to good quality mail hauberk (knee to upper thigh length) weighed like 30 ish pounds. Add like 7-10 pounds of padded material under it, 1-3 pounds for a good helmet with padding and maybe like a 5 pounds for a rather heavy side-arm sword, like a pretty hefty and crude Falchion. You'd still be way under the 100 pound. They're all just normal peeps under that armour, fit and trained perhaps, but not a bodybuilder for lifting contests. Modern military gear gets up into the 100-150 range and that's only for mostly short periods and we also have on-the-go troop transport quite available, not some tired squire who's barely limping behind you in battle. Sorry if I came out angsty but I literally gave my bachelors degree on armour and I'm so tired of seeing the age old myth that it's some ridiculously heavy and restricting equipment, while in fact it was made-to-fit or at least modified-to-fit to owner. Cheerios.
@balrog99-41 I have yet to see old mail that is barely able to get picked up for a 2 ft by 3 ft section.
My comment was talking about how grossly heavy Cody's chainmail was, not historical accurate mail.
And they totally understand that the mail he made isn't even remotely close to historical or usable.
Go watch Cody's Video!!!! He did an insane amount of work on it so it's the least you can do ;)
ua-cam.com/video/IyUrDWGtS24/v-deo.html
That's where I came from! :D
Cody seems so happy throughout this whole video.
He must've been so proud of his creation throughout the whole testing process.
To be fair he is almost Always this Happy. ;) the only time I saw him sad I didn't blame him as I was also sad at the passing of Grant Thompson from TKOR
@@isaiahoconnor8236 I think he has been pretty low for a long time between the breakup with Canyon and the TY monetization issues. I think he is finally getting back to normal.
@SephBane yeah I could see that, but he us happy when doing science:)
It's amazing how much getting paid will do for your mental health.
@Skorpychan I know from personal experience. Long story short bmy business took a massive covid induced hit, was struggling to find other work and landed on antidepressants . Got a job even though it was only a seasonal one and was able to get off of them.
Once again confirming that there are only about 4 UA-camrs in Utah. Waterjet, Cody’s lab, Nate from the internet/TKOR crew and… that might be it
There are way more than that.. I'd never even heard of this channel before Cody's video

Actually I think that Utah might have the highest UA-camr to population ratio. 🤔
One thing to remember is that historically chainmail was worn over gambesson, so anything like those splinters from the arrow would get caught.
Arrow: Survived.
Big bullet: Still dead, but the guy behind you survived. You may survive the impact itself, but you'd probably bleed to death afterwards.
Flung machete: Survived, but you wouldn't be happy about it.
...Okay, but is there a situation involving a machete flying at you that you *would* be happy about?
@@TheAttacker732 I mean, you wouldn't be happy about surviving it.
You would be far less happy after the arrow than the machete tbh.
@@mrkiky The arrow shaft would be stopped by the gambeson under the mail. The machete hit HARD, so you'd probably have bruised ribs at the very least, possibly cracked.
@@Skorpychan Well, if you had gambeson as well, sure. Otherwise that splintered carbon fiber shaft would've gone deep enough to do organ damage if you're unlucky enough, and would be really nasty to dig out all of those splinters anyway.
They look like an older and younger brother playing in the yard lol
we will call them the MartiAn brothers
11:44 Cody looks like he's about to cast a spell
given his knowledge of science he probably could
this is his default state.
we love casting spells
"These might shear off, then the rest of the arrow goes through."
"But I would say that's not a failure of the chainmail."
Tell that to the guy with an arrow in his chest. lol
No one wears chainmail on their bare chest. You wear it over a gambeson (thick padded coat) which is a surprisingly effective type of armor. It would stop those splinters easily.
Given they shot a modern-day hunting arrow, that was designed to inflict nasty wounds on elks, who, in fact, do not wear armor.
Medieval war arrows were much thicker, with sold steel arrowheads. they wouldn't squeeze between those links at all.
"According to Quora"
Okay, now I'm confident on the info
I got my phd from quora
@@WaterjetChannel 😆
6:22 No French Carabinier (who had received their brass gilded cuirasses in 1809) would have worn chainmail at any time, certainly not by the time of the Battle of Waterloo and not François Antoine Fauveau the poor unfortunate soul of the 2e Régiment de Carabiniers from whom this cuirass was recovered.
Yeah I was gonna comment the same, cuirasses at that time were basically the equivalent of modern plate carriers in terms of coverage.
Those phantoms are 100% stolen! 😂
Cody sent me here :)

Where I work, we used EuroFlex ring mesh products. And it's incredible... YOU LITERALLY CANNOT GET STABBED! The rings are around 4.2 mm in diameter, and every single individual ring has been WELDED, which makes all the rings basically IMPOSSIBLE to just "stab" through with your most powerful blow.
What I love most about this, is nobody would ever wear chainmail just bare chested ( they also would never wear chainmail this heavy) but the gambeson would definitely have stopped those arrow shaft shards from penetrating into the skin even if they were wood and not carbon fiber.
Even it it's, say, 30% lighter or more and a proper shirt, I think it's the fact that it's welded and hardened that's showing a lot of the performance. If someone hasn't done some testing on how thick you can reasonably get with welded tempered rings while still carrying the rest of your gear and fighting, they should.
This is a great collab and I want to see more crossover with Cody's Lab! Thanks!
Two very excellent channels together, chain mail, using the air cannon! I am one happy girl!
I like how I got _both_ videos in my feed, (both yours and Cody's) at the same time! 😃
Cool to get both POV's side by side like this.
And if there was a gambason that works greatly reduce the little damage caused. With the arrow
totally agreed: maille was never worn alone. without the thick quilted fabric below, the maille doesnt help much against blunt force trauma
Normal gambeson wouln't do with this one. I'm sure Cody can come up with something heavy enough to match the chain :)
@Qwarzz indeed:) but it would likely have stopped the fragments of that arrow :) not much on the blunt force of the bullet
That was my first thought when he said something along the lines of getting poaked a little bit.
How about some 100mm rockwool, compacted down?
based on the recommendations in both videos, I am stucked watching you and Cody again, again, again
An endless loop. Pretty soon both videos will have a billion views. Our evil plan is unstoppable 😎
you should 3d print a cup that fits whatever your shooting so it goes straighter, also so you could make a giant shotgun
Mmm. 3dprinted canister shot
Sabot request!!!
@@westwashere2216 Yeah! May as well build a proper APFSDS for that air cannon lol
I believe the sideways bullet was because of lack of spin allowing it to tumble. Since they justifiably aren't using a threaded metal barrel, they should be using a ball so it goes straighter and hits truer.
3d print? just carve out of fecking styrofoam
God I love the Waterjet-Cody collabs!
The circle of life brings me back around to this channel. I unsubscribed when Dan and Mitchel stopped making videos here, completely forgot about the channel until today when I watched Cody make the chainmail.
It's a nice surprise to see this channel is still going and from the sounds of it, with the phantom cameras, you're going to have lots of opportunities for some amazing videos in the close future too!
I love seeing two of my favorite channels come together!
The crossover we didn't know we needed!
Thank you for having Cody over here to test his creation.
Very impressive results. Cody is always so upbeat he must be a joy to be around.
A crossover I never even imagined
you must be new.. its not the first time ;-)
Remember that you would wear a gambeson under the chain mail, i don't think the splinters of the arrow would get through that.
YESSSSS I love Cody's channel. Glad to see the crossover!
2:30 Average fantasy archers shooting speed
Arrow head breaks off and still stabs guy.
Guy as he lays on the ground dying, "At least my chainmail didn't fail".
Holy crap I've been watching cody since the beginning, and you guys since the beginning, awesome to see you all collab!
I'd like to see how it would hold up to a rondel dagger which is designed to be thrust in between links and lever them apart. You can see a similar profile in sword tips as time went one and they went for being more optimized for cutting to more optimized for thrusting.
This is that old UA-cam style revival
Cool collaboration in this one I follow both of you guys thanks for the content!
Now he needs to go see kentucky ballistics and get the big boys up against it
Lead bullets squish through the rings.
FMJ just pushes through.
I've done it -- but not with welded links.
4 bore vs. chain chainmail.
Yes.
orders of magnitude more force.. but I suspect Kentucky Ballistics would be down for it. Remember he still has that harpoon gun. somebody slide into his DM's.
@@vicroc4punt gun
So excited & so good to see Cody back on the WaterJet Channel! 🙌
Been following both channels for years! Love the team up!
Here from Cody's channel. Impressed! He made the indestructible chain mail, and you have the tests, and stunning slo-mo, to prove it.
Don't be surprised to hear from Ukraine. If you don't, then expect to see "their" invention on the news. I'm sure they could find 101 uses for Cody's chainmail made from chains. 💜✊
Splintering arrows were a real threat to people in armor in general, as even in full plate the shards would deflect into the neck and face through the gaps of the armor. It was such a problem that it influenced how armor was made afterwards. A collar was eventually added to catch anything deflecting upwards.
I think that chain mail needs to take a quick trip on over to Demolition Ranch so Matt can see how bulletproof it is 😂❤
Awesome video guys 🥰
A collab with Cody is always a good collab
10:10 Seeing the chainmail ripple like water was craaazy. Seriously cool.
Perfect curtain for homes in warzones.
9/10 tankshells can even be reused.
You've been putting out good content lately. Well done dude.
Glad to see Cody collabing with kindred spirits
Dude has been slowly becoming a blacksmith for a decade and null ask if it took him a year. xD
So glad to see you document the important stuff.
"Oh thats sooo deep... ooooh" ...poetic.
Since I see a lot of folks talking about it here, I would like to point out that no, gambesons were not commonly worn under mail.
Gambesons were generally used as standalone armor.
You would generally wear light undergarments under your metal armor, but it wasn't thickly padded and more so served to prevent chafing than to protect from things that got past the mail.
Heat, weight and general mobility were always concerns and the average high medieval knight would be willing to accept a risk of suffering bruises or fractures when hit, if it meant they didn't slowly stew in the summer heat under their hauberks.
This is actually quite visible if you look at 11th century sources like the Bayeux tapestry, where the fighters are generally drawn as very slim and wearing form-fitting hauberks and coifs.
The time in which mail was the be all and end all of armor was also the time when your main defensive tool was your shield, not your armor. Your mail was a failsafe that might save your ass if you failed to stop or avoid an imcoming hit, but it wasn't expected to offer the same degree of near-invulnerability that late medieval plate could provide.
Later on, as the technology developed, armor became so resilient that shields started becoming somewhat redundant, which in turn allowed knights and well-geared men-at-arms to abandon their shields in favour of using two-handed weapons which in turn became necessary to deal with heavily armored opponents.
Gambesons on the other hand were more of an alternative to mail, for people who either favoured a lighter option or who couldn't afford mail.
With two phantoms you guys are litterally every youtuber's new best friends. I love it!
Don't forget the chainmail would be worn over a gambeson, a quilted and padded jacket, that would provide more protection. A gambeson's multiple layers of quilted fabric provided a surprising level of protection.
The armor that got hit by the cannonball at 6:23 probably wasn't wearing chainmail underneath, but that's from a french cuirassier at the Battle of Waterloo (1815), and people had stopped wearing chainmail for hundreds of years by then. However, they would have had a particularly thick and tough cloth uniform underneath.
There has been some great tests done on Tods Workshop doing historic arrows vs armour, and arrows causing damage by splintering against armour is definatelyna thing (not quite like that, though!).
Chainmaille made from chain links is pretty wild. I make chainmaille myself. I just go with riveted maille which is extremely time consuming or butted maille which is less time consuming but still time consuming. I could only imagine what that chain link chainmaille piece took to do. Those quarter inch thick links must have been a pain to bend and link.
I cannot believe that you guys got your hands on not one, but two phantoms!!! Like actually how!!!
This channel continues to suprise me by just how resilient it is. Not that I think it was ever really going to die, but every time it starts to show signs of pulling a Tom Stanton, it comes back with new life. Like your favorite pet zombie... that you love to abuse...
The layer of brigandine, that would typically be worn underneath the chain mail, would stop the splinters from the arrow shaft.
Super nice video 👍👍👍👍
my two favorite channels together!!
The collab i didnt know i needed
There would be padding underneath the chainmail which would also help quite a bit
“You’d have a cracked rib at least” brother, your chest would have been caved in! Ain’t just a cracked rib 😂
I’d love to see the chainmail on a ballistic dummy labs torso to see what the damage to the organs would be
13:10 Based on where the blade initially landed and crossreferencing with the dummy (the gel one, not the waterjet one), the machete appears to have left a small cut.
Ayyy Cody! Glad to see this crossover.
A combination we’ve always needed but never knew
2:22 "i'm the beauty"
the "talent"
Totally mindblowing watching something like that slug roll off even at that velocity! ...but the shock waves though the body from a center line hit looks devastating for your organs. Forget having any ribs intact.
That "rolling off" effect does look promising for making it by ok-ish from a glancing blow, that would otherwise rip your flesh deeply.
Great collaboration video!
I've been stuck in a loop, watching these two videos, for days! How do I end this madness?
I love Cody’s energy. So passionate about what he does. Like a little kid in a candy shop. And your attitude encourages it. This is all so wholesome.
Edit: here from his channel, by the way! Subbing!
Thanks for helping our friend Cody test his creation!
Happy for you to get some Phantoms. Cant wait for the videos to come :D
Incredibly impressive, it’s completely impractical for personal use, but it sure shrugs off the damage! Great job, Cody! And great footage, Mr Waterjet 😊
I just read about Cody's origin story why he started making YT videos, made me like him so much more. I've been a subscriber for years now, but never knew that about him.
The fact that the blade of the arrowhead was able to cut into the chain link that easily tells me that the hardening isn't very significant, or at least very shallow.
The goat of backyard science and geology brought me here! :)
Banana peeling carbon arrow shafts are no joke. There's pics of hands from bad arrows in powerful bows.
OMG!!! The Ballistics Gel being hit by the extra-large bullet looked JUST LIKE the Liquid Metal Terminator from T2: Judgement Day - BUT BETTER!!!! WOW!!!
eyyy Starvin' Marvin joke ^_^!!! Nice hahaha
8:08 that unison tho. Just guys loving science haha
7:00 find a kevlar mat and staple it to a piece of plywood (thick) every 10 cm in a grid. That way, any heavy object won't go some place you don't want. If you can double or triple layer the matting, poifect.
I think that both the sketch sawblade material videos and the extremely speedy wheels would be fun to explore with the new cameras.
this chainmail and some sturdy fabric with some padding (nowadays perhaps aramid fiber and idk cotton or whatever) and you're pretty protected
dude you guys should put up some of those ballistic walls to protect those new cameras, wouldnt take much for a small piece of something to fly off and hit one of the legs of the tripod making the camera fall down go boom.
you need a shot cup to support the wadding and prevent it from blowing by. try stuffing wadding-> soda can-> projectile and I bet your velocity will go way up
with padding and some gabisen that might stop some modern rounds, would love to see this tested at the range!
I love the ramrod, makes the whole experience like a giant plastic musket
I love the John Wick reference 1:23
"i didnt expect that at all"
Is exactly what he predicted.... 👀
10:15 "definitely have a cracked rib at least" yeah brother all the bones in your torso would probably shatter. definitely a dislodged heart and broken spine, instant death.
5:26 if you can, have them serviced. Who knows what crap's inside. And get GOOD cases for them. If you use them in areas where metal dust goes, make sure to dust the sensitive areas where the fans are. Low pressure air, AND don't spin the fans with compressed air, because that's current going back into the board.
It would be awesome to see this overbuilt chainmail versus something that it was historically vulnerable to; a spear, lance, some of the other types of arrow heads like bodkins just to name a few ideas.
With dual Phantoms you can shoot in stereo. Make sure they are as close together as they can be, with them pointing exactly parallel to each other. Then make sure they're not too close to the subject. A good rule of thumb is no closer than 1/30th the distance to the closest foreground object. The best subjects are semi-transparent, such as a fire tornado. If interested, let me know if you have questions.
That's so cool, kinda want to know if this is bulletproof, i mean, spalling is a thing so maybe it's not survivable but the chain might make it?!
LETS GOO you got a phantom!!! that will spice up the channel
