Dude just join us in Texas already. You belong here.

As a Dane, I literally laughed out loud at the German reference to Italians surrendering and/or running away. I mean it’s false, but it’s a funny trope and even funnier when made by a German.

@JamesDiaz-v7h Says:
Pretty impressive considering that plate will stop a .308
@Feinwerks Says:
Maybe you shall assemble your hardened blowgun tip on the Hex 400 arrow and repeat this trial - By reduceing the impactarea, you shall increase the penetration massively.

thank you for showing self defense crossbows 😂
@chinchin2121 Says:
I'd be curious to see what would happen if one of those plates was shot by one of those medeival 1000+ pounds crossbow

👍👍👍
@eater_of_beanbags Says:
tod cutler teated arrows and crossbows on modern sandbags, some russian forces seen using bows against drones
would be interesting to see crossbows get readopted in warfare since heavy tools like goats foot levers of sorts or pulley tools if modern tech can compact them since it seemscrossbows can penetrate or hit hard ceramic plate so may see use as modern warfare shifts into hesco barrier forts and trenches
@eater_of_beanbags Says:
imagine being sent one of tods crossbows to see how medieval ones fair, seen 600lb ones a few times, possibly not as strong as the modern ones but i wonder how the 1250lb one im pretty sure he has fairs, windless drawn and around 200 or 300 joules
@Nacalal Says:
A lot of people tend to incorrectly assume that a bullet proof vest is a catch-all, capable of stopping bullets and in turn anything "less dangerous" as a lot of people see it.
The problem is that bullet proof vests are meant to stop small, fast moving projectiles, not heavier and sharper objects with more consistent force or substantially more mass.
Even then, soft armor is just that, soft, and doesn't distribute the force of the projectile as well as actual hard armor, meaning you won't have a bullet go into you, but you will certainly feel the impact and can even sustain a substantial amount of blunt force trauma.
Hard plate armor should simply be a standard issue piece of equipment for anyone that faces the remote risk of being attacked in general, with soft armor lining to account for gaps in plates.
@xbowtac Says:
200gr steel fmj bullet point on a 425fps bullpup bow is 175 joules and goes through that vest
@JoeMama-ri1ut Says:
Heard the french body armor also has protection on the backside also😂😂😂😂

Nice

can i buy some sort of crossbow from gogun to poland without any permission?
@BuckScrotumn Says:
For anyone wondering about the front stabilizers for the Siege like me for the past 4 months, I finally saw them available on the go gun website and they’ll be shipping out late June.
@SNATCHYDBS Says:
Jorge i would like to see you shoot one of those 500 plus bows against that vest with a good quality bodkin... I think they will pass throught and inflict a deadly wound ... But i dont see any Vest manufacturer letting you test the theory against there Product ... Ive seen a channel in the states using a 350lbs bow against grade 3A plate and it went straight through and stick it to the tree behind the vest going in 2 inches after pass through ... Any way great content as usual .. Thank you for the content one of the few reasons i still use YT is you still being here ..... 💯👍🇬🇧 Respect from your English kamaraden ..🇬🇧👍
@adamhajnal7519 Says:
My friend, use permanent markers for prev. shots like to mark the impacts
@felype_fbborges3314 Says:
You should use some blanks or any else explosive tip for bolts to make more damage into bullet proof vests.
@jahVlad Says:
by posting this you will get the german autorthies to classify thy crossbows as a weapon for wich you'll need a license
@erdal0 Says:
If you keep making videos like this cross bows will be banned
@felixquintana11 Says:
Greetings
What would a 1” steel ball do that vest? I would like to see that
@charleshultquist9233 Says:
Your joke about Italians was hilarious....especially coming from a German! Laughing out loud literally.
@voneror Says:
Without knowing how are those vests rated this test doesn't tell us as much. That being said I suspect that using tungsten tips would defeat pistol rated armor. Perhaps even rifle rated with proper bodkin design. Since bolt velocity is realistically limited to around 150ms, only way to boost penetration is by increasing sectional density.
@Cas469 Says:
Joerg is a scary man luckely we know it's about teaching, still if I find myself in Germany and I fisit it often it's a beautiful country and I'm in a wooded era with a lot of ballbarings arrows ect I turn around.. 😅
@sevenproxies4255 Says:
It's true. Military vests do cause back problems.
Ironically the manufacturers of this modern kind of body armour have forgotten a lot of lessons which medieval armor smiths knew about.
Like how to properly displace the weight of full plate armor unto the wearers body.
Modern armor is mostly resting on the wearers shoulders only which is really bad for the wearer long term.
@jussi3378 Says:
I wasn't expecting the jab at Italians :D
@carlopoli9067 Says:
It is very sad for me to see that the bulletproof vest that my nation (which I prefer not to mention) provided me not too many years ago during the ISAF mission in Afghanistan also gets pierced by the arrow of a crossbow (the most powerful one you use in the video).
Safety first, we used to say!
Btw, thank you for this test, Joerg👍
@TheTurinturumbar Says:
Can it take a hit from your 1000 joule air gun?
@ScottJohnson-j5d Says:
Flack jackets are not intended to stop pointed projectiles like bullets or arrows. The kevelar in these vests is meshed in a way that best stops schrapnel and provides some protection against an explosive schockwave .
Bullet proof vests have plates in them made of ceramaic or kevlar or other materials that can stio bullets or arrows.
Of course theur are vest available that provide protection combinations.
@martinschnell860 Says:
Dear Joerg, you've been fooled. This is neither an SK4 nor an NIJ Level IV plate. It's either SK3 or NIJ Level III or III+(III Special). That means it would stop 5.56 Nato and 7.62 Nato rounds with a lead core like the M193 or the M80 with ease. If it has a III+ or III Special rating for 7.62x39 it will also defeat the M43 round which contains a mild steel core. Please check the label on the back of that insert. As far as I can see, you have a lightweight polyethylene plate which should also float if you throw it into water. These are layers of PE joined together under heat and high pressure. These layers delaminate on impact to absorb the energy of the bullet. If you hit that plate with a coin it will sound like a tile. The colour of that plate looked a little bit like ivory... I guess it's an old material. If it feels a bit sticky, it could contain parafin also known as wax. An SK4 or NIJ Level IV plate would have that as a backingmaterial... on top of it you would have a ceramic in form of tiles or a monolith plate made of aluminum oxide or B4C to shatter an amour piercing penetrator or core from an SS109/M855 ,P80 or M2 AP on impact. So let me take that illusion from you... you will never penetrate an SK4 or NIJ Level IV plate with an arrow or bolt. But if you scale up you might have a chance... would love to see your spear bazooka again. Btw I am impressed you made it to a "stopped in vest". Anyway... if you wear that PE plate in conjunction with that vest it will feel like nothing when the arrow or bolt strikes it. It's like knocking on a door, just to say hello ;)
If you are interested in ballistic or stab protection please check "www.vpam.eu"
Under KDIW 2004 you'll find all the information about levels of protection against pointy stuff like K-Klinge(blade), D-Dorn(spike) and I-Injektionsnadel(injectionneedle) and protection against bluntforcetrauma W-Würfel(cube).
Best Regards

Where do I get those stabilizers for the siege???
@benbritton1984 Says:
Ive know about this along time. All vests are useless against crossbows. Its science. Do some research and reading for yourself if you want to know more.
@billypoe3703 Says:
Any penetration translates to trauma. The tip of the broadhead from the Hex 400 will not instantaneously prove effectiveness. An eventual injury, wearing action, will cause irritation to the soldier/officer.
