@@1.1797 What id been planning is there would be non Newtonian padding would act as the arming coat, Kevlar would be the mail, and Hard Ceramic Plate for the metal plates. Or super hardened steel
45 layers plus a metal or posit or maybe a fiberglass or a plastic or gel plate of some sort could do the job of breaking it up and then with a rubber backing
i would like to see modern version of cuirass made from kevlar + steel (+ carbon fiber or ceramic?). It could be thicker in vital areas and good form to deflect bullets from different angles.
I was specting the thick version would stop it. Would it be possible to harden, if not all the block each layer group with a resin? like epoxy? would that make a difference?Or may be one yes one no?
Please let me know what you think. I have an older Safari land, but it’s at full size, it’s heavier than shit and want to know if I can cut it down to more of a traditional plate size and just add the PE, and what I have to use all the Kevlar from safari land or because I’m using the PE can I use less. Just a thought.
So a man-carrying drone with shielding of 50 layers of kevlar could protect soldiers assaulting trench lines over minefields to the flank of a trench line? Actually, the distance was also close and no aiming up against gravity... so less, perhaps.
I remember there was a military armour designed like that called dragonscale. It was basically kevlar with titanium "scales" woven inside the vest. Was strong enough to stop a grenade pressed against the chest. However titanium is very expensive, so they stopped production of it.
Honestly even those 50 layers of kevlar still didn't look safe seeing as the 5.56 round still blew 10 layers out of the vest. Unless you installed some sort of ceramic or metal plating inside those 50 layers, I wouldn't trust it to save my life from a 5.56 gun.
A bit off topic, but I've been contemplating making some medieval style kevlar armor....
If you made a how to video that'd be great
Please let me help. I’ve been thinking of Kevlar Gambeson for a while
@@fuzinonzlot theres a few vids on how to diy your own kevlar plates. Just need some kevlar welding blankets and a can of polyurethane.
@@scrappermax9513 thatd be badass. Then add some chainmail and or kevlar scalemail

I would like to see level 3A soft and level 3A hard armor stacked in 1 panel to see if it will stop a 55.6 round.

Very insightful!! Thank you for the great video!
So what I got from this is you can make a kevlar vest that will stop armor piercing 308 rounds
What type of Kevlar did you use? I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that matters.
Maybe im missing something but I cant seem to find a video where you guys have done a spall and frag test with the kevlar lined 3+ plates.
It is very informative. Thank you very much.
Can you take an older Safariland BALCS Kevlar and cut it down for plate size and add a thin layer of UHMWPE??
What kevlar material did you use? If Kevlar isn't practical, what is the upgraded material? Steel plates?
Great video. Thank you for doing this.
Hey @predatorarmor what grade of kevlar are you using and where is it sold
Sir At 1:23 You said Nine layers of Kevlar stops Handgun Bullets
Please tell me that what is the GSM of Nine Layers of Kevlar
Yeah what is he on about he give a no information whatsoever it's like he doesn't know anything or doing it on purpose because he's a loser
If you used hardener like In fiberglass I wonder
how much stronger it would make it?

I like you say 3a is 9pannels and I'm thinking use 10. "We use 10 panels"

Try 15 layers of kelvar what rounds would it stop how many sheets to stop 38 special
If there were some alumina ceramic plates in front of the Kevlar then 15-20 layers of Kevlar would have stopped it!
Still waiting for test if soft armor with shotgun
it's practical for car door panels
Thanks for this
what pocket knife did you use
what if it was apoxed together
Then its not "soft armor"
Love the video
Thank you
Same test with an AK47?
Where do you buy your kevlar?
i can buy some
What if you just added thinlayers of titanium sheet or aluminum

How many ears does it take to stop a 5.56?
I don't think they can stop .556...you should be able to shoot through several 3A
