Chinese Circuit Board Body Armor - Test 2
🕑 Added 2020-01-22 06:16:08 +0000 UTCIn our first test we went for broke and tested the Chinese circuit boards with 9mm at a velocity of 1400 fps. This wasn't an unrealistic speed since that IS achievable out of a pistol or something like an MP5. In this video we see if a milder 9mm round will be stopped. Bear in mind this is just another test-point and we still don't know what type of 9mm ammo they use in Hong Kong. The ammo Gregg demonstrates IS issued to some law-enforcement agencies in the U.S.
thank you!

Jeff and OG: I'd like to file a complaint about your complaints about commenters complaining! Hey, a triple negative! PAY ME! :-) In all seriousness, I've been a subscriber to TFM's channel for longer than anything else on YT; we're talking a bunch of years here. Nothing else like it out there and I'll be here until there's no "here" to be at! -Ed on the Ridge

Informative and entertaining as always. Thanks.

I’m happy to see the new feature of O.G.’s “fireside chat”! By the way, that’s the name of his new thrash metal flamethrower equipped polka band.

I came here to be entertained, then received bonus scientific methodology.

I’m still wondering how the 6mm plate + one or both of those layers of unepoxied fiber + the 4mm plate would do against the 1400 FPS round. Better yet, since I’ll bet carbon fiber can be had in HK, sandwich some of that between the two plates.

I'm happy! A fun test would be that e-bay sketchy body armor with the HK plates backing it. Armor works by absorbing and spreading the projectile energy. Defeating armor works by concentrating a lot of energy in one spot, using high velocity and hard sharp projectiles. I know a boat building / repairing distributer that sells kevlar and carbon fiber fabric. It's for boats. But I've been thinking of trying out a DIY armor build. The problem right now is with tax season. Apparently the IRS thinks they are owed a lot of money.
