2:15 "Yeah, when they missed." This is spot on!
There have been tests with period-correct Winchester ball kept in a deep freezer overnight (to replicate conditions) that sailed through multiple water-soaked and frozen military wool coats at 100 yards as if they weren't even there.
The vast majority of the failure-to-stop stories were due to misses. From what I've read, when those with M1 Garands opened fire on the human meat waves at 500 yards, so did those armed with the M1 Carbine. It's unlikely many hits were made by the .30 carbine at those ranges.
Makes sense. 30-06 was still hauling 500yrd whereas .30 carbine was losing muster
Reminds me of Clint Smith (I believe) saying the 06 would kill em 4 or 5 deep.
lol, yeh they probably just didn't realize how much bullet drop you start to get at 500yds from a carbine. "I had my sights RIGHT ON HIM, sir, I swear! These bullets aint worth a damn!"
@shady473gamingcm3 ill say out of my arsenal, (I possess a ton of 30 cal, from .300blk, 30-30, 30carbine, .357 mag, .308 and 30-06) there's just something about the 30-06 at any range up to 500yds. I believe it's the best of all worlds
A majority of the war was fought at night and in close quarters, meaning getting a good sight picture and actually knowing where your rounds went would be very difficult to tell. When you're shooting at dark shapes running up a slope how would you really know if you hit a man or not? There are also plenty of police shooting videos where multiple pistol rounds are fired at less than 10 yards and the suspect isn't hit.
That whole Korean War myth of the M1 Carbine not penetrating winter clothing, was just cope from troops who had shit aim. Their older brother had no problem capping Germans in winter coats only a decade earlier.
Yeah with 30-06
@@vikingdrift m1 carbines where in WW2
The only possible way it could have ever happened is over 500 yards and if it’s windy depending on caliber it could significantly lose kinetic force but it’s doubtful. There’s a certain range where every caliber becomes non lethal because of the energy loss
@@andrewh7852 "There’s a certain range where every caliber becomes non lethal because of the energy loss" yes, but the question is, does that range occur before or after the round would have already hit the ground? I've seen testing with .22LR that suggests the round can be "effective" for as far as it's possible to shoot it, given good shot placement. That strongly suggests that most (if not all) rounds have effective potential limited mostly by the user's ability to place the round on target.
The ammo used in Korea was WW2 vintage that had been made en mass and then stored somewhat improperly until needed again. I've seen testing where the vintage ammo was frozen and due to the storage and powder used they did lose quite a bit of their initial velocity....IIRC down to 1000 fps or even less. It was enough to make the gun function but just barely and many believe that the stories of it having trouble getting through the thick coats has some validity and wasn't all due to them missing.
You always have to add fear to the equation . When 2 thousand Chinese are running at 300 guys and you panic fire at 500 yards, you're probably going to miss. Not to mention, they were freezing and in many cases, being surrounded by the Chinese. A family friend was in the Marines in the Korean war. He was issued and loved the Carbine. He said he picked up a Garand and used it instead, when he saw the distance they were shooting at the Chinese. He also fought in the pacific in WW2.
Reminds me of that kid who had his girlfriend see if a large caliber could penetrate a dictionary... he was holding in front of him. Turns out, no, paper is not very bulletproof.
He won't be doing that again, lol!
Dictionaries can stop stop some heat...
Pretty sure it was a phone book and the fool had her use a .50 AE out of a Desert Eagle or something. I may be mistaken.
Yeah, that guy died for a quick youtube short or something. Incredibly stupid, but sad at the same time.
The idiot didn't even test to see if it would stop a bullet before he told her to shoot him, I remember she was on trial for manslaughter but I don't remember if she did get charged or not.

I would like to know if
stab proof clothing/vest can stop a bullet or at least reduce its lethality. 🤔
Friend of mine is working as a security and has a stab proof vest. We asked ourselves if it would help him against a bullet. 🤷🏼♂️
That’s a good question, i was actually thinking about that during the video.
My grandfather was a platoon leader in Korea and he died two years ago. He loved guns and was in a gun store when someone told him this. He said that if the m1 carbine didn’t stop someone it’s because the drafted soldier missed. He said he saw his boys kill Chinese soldiers with it. So I know 100% it stopped Chinese soldiers in Korean War. He did say lots of the drafted boys were horrible shots, so he directed volume fire. He said the Chinese would throw themselves on the barb wire and the others would use them like a ladder to climb it and they would be in hand to hand combat. He was a colonel in Vietnam, he ended up loving Koreans and the people of Vietnam. He hated always Chinese, never even ate Chinese food. He carried the carbine in Vietnam when as a colonel he could have carried anything, and he always said it stopped anything it needed to. He said the m1 grand was overkill in Korea, and it the carbine was good enough for the Chinese.
No he wasn’t and no he didn’t
@@philmccracken1392don't drink and comment sir

*New and Improved Patented Hi-Tech Fleece Bullet Stop has entered the chat*
Tools and targets has tested damn near every ammo and you'd be surprised how many hps clog
I always watch his videos before I pick up some new carry ammo.
My favorite ammo tester.
I’m in law enforcement. We had a kid shot in the neck close range while wearing a thick winter jacket. The jacket hood/ material packed the wound in his neck and saved his life.
This video made me realise I've watched too much UA-cam. I'm a gunless Australian who's only been shooting half a dozen times, these guys are shooting professionals. Yet I knew at least 10+ years ago that hollow points get clogged by clothing, drywall, etc. I don't even get the right to carry, but I know more facts about carry round performance. Insane. Obviously not in practice, but the theory at least.
It's been so long I don't even remember the channels that tested this over a decade ago. MAC? Hickock? Paul Harrell? (RIP). Barry on IV8888? (RIP). Maybe even Taofledermaus? I do know multiple channels came to this conclusion. I vaguely remember an incredibly diligent guy in his backyard doing gel testing with proper metrics in like 2010 or earlier even. Always used to give specs on the gel, talked about the standards, layers of denim. Was very therapeutic.
A ton of shooters aren’t “gun guys”. They may like a few things, know what they want their kit to work like, which mil ammo they will be given, but they aren’t into it. Most do this as a job. But any gun person that has been looking into carry ammo has watched a bunch of test and know this. Especially with Speer Gold Dots. Federal HSTs pass the normal FBI test and even extra layers, but fail after so many. Hornady started using a polymer fill and others started using external fluid dynamics.
"Tools and Targets " always shoots through clothing to show what to expect with hollow points.
He has so much valuable information. Hsts are the best carry and dusty rounds in my opinion after watching countless videos
@@Z_BoyPanduhhis channel is probably the best if not second best when it comes to bullet testing. Gun Sam_Revolver Aficionado is just as good if not better since he uses a clothing barrier as well, but also adds a layer of MDF to simulate hitting a rib.
Regardless I’ve learned from both of them that just because a hollow point is made by well known brand doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to perform
Love how he leaves the goodwill tag on them like he's going to return them.
Waste not want not 😂
it's almost certain to be Savers. There is one of them across the street from Stockpile.
The goodwill employee watching them return the clothes with bullet holes in them
This is a solid test. Hollowpoints which are priced higher are essentailly fmj when shoot through clothing
HST does the best. But I still carry Extreme Defenders in Idaho winter.
not the plugged hollowpoints or fluted ones
That's a super interesting video topic! As a German I have to say that the myth that 9mm (shot from an MP40) couldn't penetrate Russian winter clothing in Stalingrad is still super popular - so you put an end to that discussion🙂 It seems to have been mostly used to justify German soldiers ditching MP40s...
I have a 30 carbine, it punches holes through 3/16" mild steel at 100 yards. Good luck with with that coat!

Bruh, garandthumb tried to hide the fact that his 1911 jammed at 14:10 mins. 😂😂😂I saw that 1911 jam. I seent it.
Decades ago firearms expert/cop/writer Massad Ayoob recommended 45 acp for winter carry due to clothing clogging of hollow points because a 230gr FMJ was better than a 9mm 124 FMJ
Or just use modern hollow points that don't clog because they have the plastic ballistic tip
He also gets upset if you dry fire and close the slide on your 1911 with an empty chamber as it can cause damage to the firearm.
Wait until he finds out what firing can do to it.
Ayoob flies wildly between good advice and the deepest of fudd lore
Dudes a dinosaur
Get a better hollow point if that's a problem. Also, I'd rather have a clogged hollow than an FMJ.
Massad Ay-boob is not a great source of info when compared with a lot of modern guys.
The slow mo gets me every time. It's...it's just so beautiful.
The M1 Carbine myths have LOOONG since been debunked. Unfortunately, the Fudd lore follows the poor little rifle.
I don't know why you'd think a hollow point wouldn't clog. Companies like Hornady don't put that rubbery material in the hollow point for the fun of it they've done the testing already.
They also do that orange plug for states that ban hollow points. I think New Jersey is one of them. I may be wrong. I wish it wasn't right for any place.
@@FUBARguy107not at all, it’s to prevent clogging
The funny part is that the hornady clogs more often going through nothing because of the rubber tip 😂
The Chinese wore a cotton, quilted exterior winter coat and pants set. In US Military PSAs of the era, it portrayed the quilted coat and pants as the sole layer of clothing. What I believe is far more plausible to the "bullets didn't penetrate" is that the full metal jacket ammunition just didn't provide enough of a pain or injury incentive to a soldier who was already freezing and possibly numb from the cold. Another possibility could be batches of improperly stored ammunition in the conditions. If you had lots of ammunition that went from being stored in damp conditions with heat and then frozen, you could have issues with condensation fouling of the powder charge. Even with sealed ammunition, the powder in the case is not 100% moisture free and can experience changes due to extreme changes. Here in North Dakota, we have to counsel our officers against improper ammunition storage. We had an officer who's weapon experienced multiple failures to fully extract and then a squib. The ammunition they were using at the time was a collection of range-randoms that they kept in a bucket... in their car... for over a year. Yeah, that'll do it. When I extracted the bullet from the barrel, the powder that had failed to ignite was still clumped and a bit moist. Tip: If you don't want to live in it, your ammo probably shouldn't either.
The temperatures of the N Korean winter during the Battle for Chosin Reservoir were the coldest on record, wind chill down to -40F. The temperatures did indeed have a negative on the powder of the ammunition at the time, which caused an already anemic 30 carbine cartridge to fire even slower... Which is what caused the penetration failures during the conflict.
In short, you're spot on.
I think they just missed. Most soldiers didn't know how to zero their rifles as they were draftees.
@@samwindisch5596That was tested and disproven
The degradation of the propellant due to being subjected to extreme changes in ambient conditions is a reason it's recommended that carry ammo be replaced periodically to minimize the chance of a failure if one were to have to use their EDC in self defense.
You’re super smart
Thick clothing can’t even prevent an unwanted hug… Gonna be a hard no to that bullet for me, chief.

Probably your best chance of clothing stopping a low-power bullet is a traditional Navy peacoat.
There are stories I've heard of it stopping a 25acp. If you have never worn of felt a real peacoat, the weave is very dense and heavy. It's almost like fabric that is used in concrete applications like support columns.
Back in the day i worked as a deputy.
The county i worked in had some high altitude ski resorts.
I was more worried in the winter of a hollow point opening up to soon in the heavy winter clothing.
We used to stack our "winter load" magazines every other round being a FMJ.

My grandfather was shot in the back with a 410 birdshot, and he said the heavily starched thick jacket he was wearing caught most of the pellets.
Those little bbs will loose energy quickly at distance. Ask any waterfowler who hunts public land all their life and many of them have been hit by bbs. They are typically 4 shot or larger and end up getting hit at distance to where it just really, really hurts. Good reason to always use eye pro.

Seeing G9 ammo perform exceptionally well in every GT video makes me harder than a rock.
Paul Harrel always had layers of clothing in front of his “meat targets” and the hollow points always opened up. This might be specific to ballistic gel.
Who wears that many layers? The goof in the bearskin hoodie ad.
LOL
I felt personally attacked by that comment!
🤣🤣🤣
Maybe that would have performed better? 😂
In central Montana, in late November, I've worn 8 layers on top many times. Try sitting and watching a draw in a 10- 20 mph wind with a wind chill of at least -50 F for a few hours. Do it repeatedly. Tell me how many layers you end up wearing.
Finally, a video that answers the questions being asked by people who eat the crud out of the bug zapper tray.
I never knew clothing prevented Hollows from opening up like that. It makes me rethink my choice in ammo now

I carry critical duty because of the performance through barriers (sheetrock, windshields) makes more sense for my probable self defense scenarios than something designed for casually dressed men out in the streets. I don't go out on the town that much.
My Dad was a Korean war vet ,I asked him about M1 carbine round bouncing of N. Korean winter clothes . He said that's a crock of s--t. Piss poor Army shots made that story up. Dad was a Marine. He also said that since most Koreans at that time were 75-90 lbs the .30 carbine zipped right through em.
I could hear thousands of fudds cry out in unison as I watched the .22 bullets passed into the gel unaffected
Can you explain what you mean?
Years ago I had a .380acp ricochet off a steel fence post at 5yrds away and hit me in the leg.. and I barely even felt it.. it left no mark.. and it felt like a child tossed a small rock at me.
The bullet had dumped all of it's energy into the steel fence post.
I had a 9 bounce off a tree and come back into my cheek. It made me bleed but didn’t penetrate. An inch down and to the right and I probably would have lost a tooth.
I had a 380 blow through 2 metal (hollowish) apartment doors and get lodged in between the plastic of an old highschool chair and the layer of cloth. Oh yeah it also went through my favorite button up on the way out 😂

I remember seeing an episode of Cops like 15 years ago, where the cops responded to a drive-by. When they got there, they were like who's shot? And one guy was like, "i was." They were wondering why he was standing there just fine holding a deformed .22 in his hand. He was wearing some of those thick cholo jean shorts and it hit right where the pocket seam was and stopped right in the fabric. So it's possible...
Reminds me of those two rifle bullets they found from WW1 that had collided in mid air, with one getting lodged inside the other.
Possible, but you'd better not count on it!
Thick cholo jean shorts?! 😂😂😅
Hst is best round to use. Rarely clogs if ever and is always consistent no matter the barrel length or grain size.
Next experiment and I’ve heard of this from my dad’s police officer buddies in the Philippines when I was young. Could be drunk talk…lol.
Here’s the experiment.
Take several sheets of very thin silk or polyester about the size of a bed sheet and free hang on clothes lines, no weight on the bottom to allow them to move freely. Apparently when the bullet hits it, the sheets are light enough to absorb and disperse the energy of the bullet. It might go through one or two but it will not make it through more than three sheets. Be sure to space out the sheets appropriately like a normal clothes line.
I got shot with a hollow point on accident. The bullet hit my leather belt, and it smashed the hollow point shut. I have pics, but I can't share them on UA-cam comments.
Try with multiple layers of silk. That was something warm, and readily available to the Chinese. Real silk is very bullet resistant, and was used in some of the first bulletproof vests.
This is why, if you're being attacked by a spider, you shouldn't try to shoot it in the bottom. Aim for the legs!

But I’m not sure I’d have the ability to choose my life over another. I just pray I never have to find out. PS my job requires me to make deliveries in Detroit at night.
The only thing about the hollow point test, or all of them you could say, is the gel simulates the penetration into the body, but the amount of penetration would only be affected by half of the clothing.
When shooting through the clothing that's hanging, they're going through both the front and back, giving you double the amount of fabric before it penetrates into the body.
The tests are like wearing the clothes infront of you.
Unless you just double the amount of layers you say you have, then it would match up.
Like, 10 coats would equal wearing 20 coats.
Ideally, you'd want the ballistic gel dummy wearing the t shirt, and coat.
Clothing wont stop a bullet. But the WW2 Russian great coat was legendary for being difficult to penetrate with bayonets and was virtually slash proof from cavalry sabres.
Sounds like the cloth was a lot like the gambeson of old, with added starch
@@bighobo7745 Haven't researched what it was made of yet. Seems to have been a wool or horsehair felt kinda thing, about an inch thick; but they would of certainly have been around in the Korean war, starched with Commie sweat?🤣

Anyway, this vid was great, been watching you since the flannel days, just needed to mention that when you show up with a rifle, I know this wasn't the case (shotgun doesn't count), but at least this vid doesn't have 10k comments already, that's why I'm typing, and said rifle (or pistol) has a gazillion accessories and crap on them, newcomers will think that's the way to go. And for SD, we know it isn't. A flashlight, and the most comfy sights, that's it. Maybe you said it a couple vids ago, then disregard, was the itch I had since I saw you move _"into the wilds"._ Still awesome stuff, thank you.
Ive heard an anecdote about 45 hollow points being stopped by thick winter jackets and finding the expanded bullet inside the layers of the jacket. The gun in question was a 3" 45.

I've seen the critical duty rounds explained this way before, but it's cool to see the practical application. I rotate all my ammo that I done use regularly to "range" status and buy replacement ammo. I might have to start buying the CDs.
I think it would’ve also been worthwhile to test birdshot versus the jacket/hoodie/shirt. One of the reasons I do not recommend birdshot as a home defense load for folks that opt to get a shotgun for home defense is the impression that birdshot, which already doesn’t exactly have great penetration, will suffer that much more if your target kicks in the door in the winter and has thick enough winter clothing to make birdshot that much less effective.
Old school reviews are back. Hell yeah. Could you do a more modern and fun series looking at new gear and trying it out is some entertaining and competitive way?

A bb gun will most likely go through a tee shirt.
Depends on how fast of a bb gun. Lever action Daisy's and Red Riders were the old time country boy's air soft before that became a thing. It wouldn't penetrate clothing, but it would sometimes break open skin depending on how close you were.
Kentucky State Police had a shooting back about 10 years ago where they shot through a car door at a guy. He had a carhartt jacket on that stopped the rounds. They was using Speer Gold Dot.
Happy Sunday GW!
Presumably the car door did most of the work there reducing velocity
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the door slowed the bullets down.
@beanhavok2287 happy Sunday Brother!
@TheRealStephenJ yes
Keep it up Mike! I’m digging the putting my head down and getting back to work vibe. Respect brother
Is there any ballistic effects if the shot is fired from longer distance rather than point blank range?
Can thick clothing stop a bullet....FUCK no.
Video ends
@ it’s just 30 seconds of them laughing as the credits roll.
I feel this is the first episode that felt like classic GT since Micah and Charlie left. Idk why it feels like that, but I'm glad to see it
Federal HST does better in clothing. Hornady Critical defense as well.
That was the case with the jepanese horse riders in the samurai era. They used silk scarves that inflate while riding as protection from arrows. It worked just fine.
I can confirm that multiple layers, including very thick coveralls, will not stop a 50 caliber muzzleloader at over 150 yards after ricocheting. It will go clear through but lay in the coveralls when it exits.
5:50 could have ended the video here lol
2:24
“When they missed.”
Based.
Reminded of the morning in duck camp making coffee at the coleman stove. There was a couple of "hunters" about 130_150 yards away covering the swamp behind our camp. Could plainly see us in camp as we could plainly see them across the way. Thankfully my head was looking down and I always wore a full brimmed hat as I heard a shot then watched the steel shot bounce off my coat and felt/ heard it bounce off my hat and the back off the coleman.
The "hunters" very soon packed up and left after where I told them what hole I was going to shove their shotguns into.
Enjoyed the video. People do not buy critical defense. The difference between critical defense and critical duty seems to be the quality of the manufacturering. Tons of set back issues with critical defense.
During the Korean War, they wore heavy wool. Maybe if it hit a flask, bino’s or ammo across chest. But who ever was saved, died after the 30-06 from the Garand killed em dead! Oh and…..I’ve had that same issue! “It only went in about 6 inches…….4 inches……well ok, 3 inches”!!!! LMAO!
Who is more bald now, Mike or Asmongold? 0:25
Hair thinning 😅 yeah i caught that too I’ve seen it before on some of the videos
0:26is the mark you are talking about as he turns you can see the spot
Man, quality of content is going down fast without Micah and Charley, bro better hire a film crew. I like John and all but I don’t think they taught video production in the Rangers.
Ehh, I can live with it. I've seen worse
Yall should do a “Home Depot” or “shit kicked off and I only have the stuff in my garage I have to build it” body armor test. You guys each build a plate and or soft panel or combo type deal with stuff you can readily find at the hardware store/someone may have in their home.
That would be a super cool informative and entertaining show
The scale of what is in people's homes to make armour from ranges from actual plate carriers to a roll of clingfilm....
May as well just piss in a bucket see if it has a hole in the bottom
I am lliterally laughing out loud, thanks man! My Grandfather was saved from a japanese strafing run, on Guadalcanal with 1st Div USMC, by a Lucky metal cigarette tin. shredded the smokes
One thing I would like to be tested: I had an old timer tell me cowboys used to wear silk shirts because they had the chance of stopping a black power round. Obviously not up close but I’d be curious to see a slow moving round at range
I remember an episode of the great Paul Harrell on this topic. I think it's a good idea to bring up the topic, since it really influences the effectiveness of the shot. I also suggest paying tribute to Paul by making an episode recreating his famous Meat Target. Big hug from Puerto Rico, USA where we speak Spanish so...Los quiero mucho! 🤣🤣🤣
Our high school Spanish teacher said, "if you can't remember anything from this Spanish class, always remember this" "Mi Espanol no es muy bueno". "You'll at least get a smile from your Spanish speaking companions". This is one of the few phrases that I remember from high school spanish class.
It’s crazy I thought this video was going to be useless to me , but it literally changed my whole idea of the ammo I carry . Thanks for this
Never thought I’d miss Charlie and micah as much as I do
ehhhh
The new sawyer guy seems pretty chill though
Good think is garand can never quit with all that child support
This is a well known phenomena including the quip about different ammo for different seasons! No shade to you guys at all, it just fascinates me that know and settled topics are revisited as new generations get into this stuff and new forms of communication become available. I often find shorts of things I remember reading in arfcom or k like 15 years ago and find myself saying, what more can be said! Again, no shade, it just fascinates me!
Re the myth, there are a few elements to test
-Frozen outer layers; is the outer coat is frozen stiff
-Ammo that has been in freezing or below zero temps continuously affecting performance
-range
-velocity
-ammo type, soft points or ball?
Then there are the untestable parts of the myth like were they just misses, were hits just ignored or shrugged off and was that because of deteriorated performance due to the cold or other factors, human or pharmaceutical, etc.
