      itsallahoax dip silk in resin and hydraulically press for 8 hours. Year 1905 a Priest invented silk armor made of woven silk to stop pistol bullets. Ww1 started because a king was killed, he wore one of his silk vests but he got shot in the head.

      @Infinite_Jester 9 років тому +3

      +Pitch lock It does, but some modern body armor uses a flap like that at the bottom as well. It's pretty good; most of the time you don't even notice it and it manages to catch all the food that leaks out of your made-in-1942-food-container-thing (guaranteed army vintage, uh, we mean newest of the new! - Regards, SA-int) so it doesn't fall on the ground and go to waste.
      Even better, if you're lucky the food sticks and you can keep munching through the next guard shift because, let's face it, they didn't give you time to eat anyway.

    The way the mighty midget works is you pull the pin then insert the grenade in the launcher plunger first. pressure from the blank activates the grenade as it is launched. They came in a kit of six grenades six launching blanks a launcher in a formed plastic box. I have seen them made by LECO and Smith & Wesson. They where made from about 1965 until Def-Tech bought out LECO/S&W agent line. And Def-Tech dropped them from there line. The Israeli maker Ispera made it in a Maxie to launch off a shotgun and a M16 but not seen much in the U.S. .

    Thanks for the historical perspective, I recall in the 60s and early 70s, there were lots of 30 carbine based guns, specifically on the paratroopers model, but with the wire stock removed and often a vertical grip as well as pistol grip, these were often featured in the TV shows of the day.

  • @russbilzing5348
    @russbilzing5348 2 роки тому +1

    Prior to WW1 and during, I am told, officers might avail themselves of calf length capes having up to 30 or more layers of silk. These had a remarkable similarity to modern bulletproofing materials, capturing and shredding the bullets. It was said that after a while, the surplus weight of lead would have to be pulled/cut out of the cape lest it weigh down the wearer to a state of incapacity.

    S&W later made a single shot 37mm launcher on a revolver frame and grip. My old PD had a couple, along with regular 37mm launchers. I put a go kit together in a pelican type case with one, CS and muzzleblast rounds for it, some hand thrown CS grenades and some sting ball grenades. Never had to use it (fairly small town), but good to have. I remember seeing ballistic nylon. Better than nothing. Had other uses too, such as belts and pouches

One round went through an officer, both sides of vest, and broke the wrist of an officer standing behind. Scary. I remember seeing a training video about it many years ago. The 30 Carbine is nothing to laugh at. With exposed lead hollow or soft points or Cor-Bon DPX, it is excellent for self defense

    .38 S&W 158 gr likely does refer to .38 Special. That's the standard weight for the .38 RNL, which was still almost universal in the early 70s. .38 S&W was available commercially only with a 146 grain bullet. Remember that .38 Special is really .38 S&W Special.

    Wasn't the 38 S&W a lower power 38 cartridge of slight larger diameter and shorter case than the 38 Special? I believe it was called the 38/200, as original loadings used a 200gr bullet at 600 fps or so. Later loads used 146 gr bullets.

      ***** Quite correct, though I usually refer to them as simply "blanks".
      You could argue that 'round' doesn't apply to any bullet anymore, given that the sphere is not used for anything other than those guys who love filling the range with smoke. So how does a 'round of ammunition' work?

    @CeaselessSlinky 7 років тому

    In regards to soft body armor: is the Kevlar simply woven together, or is it built in a sandwich structure and impregnated with resin to become a composite plate? Or can it be used in both ways? I'm more familiar with composites than body armor, and I was just curious how much overlap there is between the two.

    • @Anonymous8421
      @Anonymous8421 7 років тому

      Typically just woven, when you hear about composite body armor plates they're typically referring to a plate which is half ceramic and half Kevlar. Rounds will hit the ceramic and shatter it, significantly reducing their velocity, then the Kevlar with catch the bullet.

    • @Guy_GuyGuy
      @Guy_GuyGuy 9 років тому +1

      +SomethingDifferent It (the M1) wasn't select-fire and the role it filled was more along the lines of a PDW. It was used by tank and vehicle crewmen and artillery troops who needed something more powerful than a pistol, but handier than a Thompson or an M1 Garand.
      Also it was put into service in 1942 (the select-fire M2 Carbine came later still), so even if it was used like an assault rifle it would have been contemporary to the StG-44 (which has roots in the 1942 MKb-42).

    this is a very significant video which answer our mutual question. Where all thoses weird guns mg carbin pistols come from? How are they possible? Can a human brain conceive so astonishing or crazy rifles revolver puntguns mg, bazooka?
    My answer is simple: fake or illusion. All those milling machines , lathes, and drillpresses make me thinking that here the evidence: He is actually working at them. We must admire His Genius.

      I just remember not being able to breathe through my nose cause it was so stuffed up at boot camp from the second week until we did the gas chamber. Of course the next day we got had a cold front come through and I got sick again:)

    Ian,I have another question.what is 30 caliber actually referring to because i have often heard the m1 carbine being of 223 caliber but the m1 garand was different yet they are both considered 30 caliber .why

      Ladderadder Mcglitternips Thanks that is helpful

    • @SuperFunkmachine

      +Tama Hawkins The m1 garand uses .30-06 Springfield (7.62×63mm) unlike the m1 carbine which used .30 Carbine (7.62×33mm) as you can see from the full measurement's the m1 garand used a longer round than the carbine.
      As for the m1 carbine being of 223 caliber, i think you've been misinformed it's the modem M4 carbine that uses 223 caliber (5.56x45mm).

    • @ForgottenWeapons
      @ForgottenWeapons  9 років тому

      +Tama Hawkins ".30 caliber" refers to the diameter of the bullet. It does not specify the weight of the bullet or its velocity, though, and there are many different cartridges which use .30 caliber bullets.

    Yikes. I bet the recoil from launching a grenade with a police revolver would be pretty severe
