Homemade Armor That Actually WORKS!!! (we did it!)

that's not true, I'm not deep enough, you can never be too deep, welcome to the wrecking ranch, wrecking ranch, so today we made some videos where we tried

homemade

bulletproof vests and it's always been bulletproof vests that I've made . Well, one of you, Andy, made me some

homemade

armor

, so he made two of these. Look, we have two, so what it is is a steel plate. Let me see if I can focus this so you can see the steel plate. front, but I think it's probably a quarter inch steel plate, it's unhardened steel, it's just a normal flat piece of steel, it's not body

armor

steel or anything, just a flat piece of unhardened steel and then he has a horse barn in the back and he taped them with a flexible seal that is like a rubber spray so this is what he hopes will stop the bullets.

I bet it will stop gun bullets. I think it will stop a 45 ACP. I don't believe it. it will stop anything bigger than that, but we're going to try it today, we're going to start from the bottom side to the front and now we're here and then we'll get to here. What I like about this is that they

actually

made it the right shape for body armor, like you have the cutouts and everything for your arms and they fit pretty well. I have one installed right there. This is a 22 long rifle taken from a pistol. There's no way this is going to get through.

I'm just going to say that now, can you see? I'm going to get out of that way, okay, yes, it turns out that you have to set the gun on fire for it to fire. We have an impact, just a dent in it, I don't know. Yes you guys can even tell if there is a dent, but it is very slight, which is interesting because when I shoot a .22 long rifle against hardened steel, there is not a scratch or a dent, so obviously it is already smoother with just a rifle long 22, let's take a step forward. our game just a little bit, do you know what's stronger than a 22 long rifle?

I 22 Magnum do you know what stronger than a 22 Magnum a hornet 22 from an angry hornet this bullet is cooking has a good chance of surviving? I think I'm still going to bet it won't, although I think our plate will stop the 22 Hornet. This is rare. Using a scoped revolver I hit it pretty hard. I do not know, we'll see. I probably should have done something. other rounds before the 20 new Hornet because it is a type of rifle round. Look, oh, he stopped it, but you barely look at this, so he drilled an impressive hole in that metal, I almost don't know how, it didn't go through it, it's almost the thickness of that metal but it didn't go through anything it passed through here that's impressive 22 stops superior 22 Hornet but can it stop a larger, heavier bullet like a nine millimeter from this Scorpion?

So this is a longer than average nine millimeter barrel, so it's going to get a little bit more velocity and it has more weight. I bet it will totally stop the 9 millimeter, but I bet it will dent that metal pretty good. We have a success. I do this because, honestly, I'm interested to see what happens and how. The most exciting part is when I walk towards the target to see what happens. Well, I won that bet. The 9 millimeter hit right there didn't go through but left a pretty solid dent in the metal and a few small pins on the back.

Alright guys, looks like we're going to have to step it up even further, damn our luck, okay, now, at the moment you've all been waiting for, I have a new weapon, don't tell me, my wife, right? I mean, I would. I would tell her that I'm just sure she doesn't care, that's why I didn't tell her. I didn't think she would be interested so I didn't tell her, but if you guys do me a solid and not tell her not because she would get mad but just because she wouldn't care who wastes her time-release oh don't tell me okay here it is the gun, get ready, it's cool, this is a CMM g-guard AR CMM g-guard, what you'll probably notice right off the bat is Matt, that magazine, well, it sure doesn't seem to fit in an AR-15 magazine, well, You are right, friend, because it is not like that.

This weapon is chambered. in 45 ACP, a pistol bullet and Glock 21 magazines are needed, look at that, okay, it looks a little ridiculous with a Glock 21 magazine, they make extended magazines, they just don't have it yet and I just bought this and wanted to come play with it and here we are but I'm getting some extended magazines soon and they stick out like down there and they look really cool it makes the gun look a lot neater but it still takes Glock 21 magazines which is convenient because they're easy to find and you also realize Matt, this thing sure has a short barrel, you're right too dude, this is a pistol, this is not considered a rifle, this is not considered a short barreled rifle, this is considered a pistol , so there is no NFA. tax issues there are no other legalities besides buying a normal gun it has what they consider a gun stabilizer mount back here you can use it as a stock a lot of people say it's illegal to do this it's not totally legal they changed it so you can put Lift this thing up and It shoots like a rifle, even though it's not a rifle, it's a gun, it doesn't make sense, but that's the law and I follow the law, so I shoot my gun like a rifle, even though it's a gun.

I am excited about this gun, I have equipped this gun to be my night gun, the one that is close by if I hear any problems and the reason is that I have a .40 caliber Glock that I normally use and it has a flashlight. that's the gun I would use, but I was thinking it would be better to have something that was a little more controllable and could shoot a little further if needed because you're a little limited with the gun, but I figured if I have an AR like I do. I don't really want to clean my house with an AR-15, plus you shoot an AR-15 in the house, that's going to be loud and could disorient even me, so a pistol caliber AR is best. of both worlds, plus it is a pistol, so it is small.

I mean, I can carry this thing and shoot it like a gun. There is no Reeko because it is only a 45 ACP world, so I equipped it with a light and put a sling on it. I can patrol my house, you know, do my 2:00 a.m. sweep. m. and then the 2:30 a.m. sweep. m. and then the 3:00 a.m. sweep. m., you know, I just walk around the house, make sure all this should be and then I put a scope on it, this is probably not the scope I'm going to leave because I probably want something with a little less magnification and this it's really good for longer range stuff especially with the reticle it has so i'll probably put this on a larger air 15 but for now it's sitting on this gun this is a hack with ACOG and it has the acs reticle sitting , show this to you guys, fiber optic up here so it gets sunlight and lights up on the inside of the scope and if it's dark outside, it has tritium that also lights up on the inside of the scope, so just like Jake Paul, this viewfinder is always illuminated, but it's hard to show it to you with this, but you can see that there are other little marks there. they are for range so basically this reticle is for a quick estimate of the range of the target so you use the little thing on the side to see how far away they are and then you go to the middle put the crosshairs on the target and go up or you go down depending on where. that range showed that they were so it's just where you don't have to look at the calculations, you don't have to do any of that, you just put it in them, you get your range, you look back and you take your then it's about being very fast that's a success that's a success we nailed it target I turned off the camera and thought, oh yeah, I carried it like it was a full magazine, might as well take advantage of that one more time, I'm betting a big dent and not much else

actually

looks a lot like our nine millimeters, so that's the dent on the 45 ACP right there, a little bigger bulge in the rear, but nothing close to passing.

I have something bigger. The next gun makes the 45 ACP look pretty nice. It is the eagle of the desert in 58 yi. I still think it's not going to happen. I think it'll just put a big dent in it, and by the way, I'm already very impressed with the mild steel with a horse rubber backing that stops a 45 ACP like that. pretty good, I think it will stop 50 80 though, what do you think it hit hard? That's for sure, by the way, if you ever thought about it, you know, maybe I should get a desert eagle, do it, you won't regret it, holy cow, oh. that's amazing, as you can see, we made a big dent in it, but it stopped it, which probably would have hurt you, you would have been injured, you would have possibly had a broken rib, but you would live.

Fanelli semi-automatic 12 gauge tuned by Erin Hayes to be a master of competition, we're firing a single bullet, this is one thousand five hundred and sixty feet per second, so she's no slouch, that's for sure, she's fine. I guarantee it will hit much harder than the 50 BMG, sorry 50 AE, but it has a larger surface area. so it didn't happen no way uh whoa that couldn't have been more perfect so i was wrong it did happen but it stopped right there so you would have 100% survived you would have survived the bad guy wouldn't have stopped you we could have made you run away but no I know if you would still fight with it but you would have survived.

It's crazy. It couldn't have been closer. I have one more gun and I'm 99% sure this plate won't hold up. possibility against it there is no way I am one hundred percent sure 100 do you remember all that talk like hey I have a new gun like don't tell my wife I really didn't tell you the old truth I didn't just get a gun and it's not so much that it's being dishonest by not telling her, in my opinion, my thought is how good could come from telling her and, as a good husband, I love my wife. being happy and maybe telling her wouldn't make her happy, so being a good husband, she couldn't do that to him.

You know, that's my thought, so I won't really tell it for her because I'd love to. tell her but it's just to protect her like a good husband since I'm a good husband um yeah just hashtag don't tell me the new gun I bought this is a CMM G and it's also called a mutant this gun the protector is fairly new this gun has been out for a while I'm not sure in this configuration they have the length of the rifle but you'll notice this is also a short little package it's also a pistol just the same This thing is a gun mount a short barrel less than 16 inches so it is a pistol but this pistol is chambered in 7.62 by 39 rifle caliber this is the ammo fired from a k47 and it is also the same magazine so that It's what makes this thing mutant.

It is an AR-15 that takes AK-47 magazines. I have two other ARS that shoot seven, six, two for 39, but they both have strange AR magazines that are made for that caliber, so they come out and work for the most part. most magazines work great, some don't and look silly. I love those guns one is Iraq 21 and the other is POF and both guns are awesome and I really love being able to shoot 760. at 39 but I've had my own mutant forever because it takes the magazine that's made for that round and It's been around forever and I finally got my hands on one and then when I saw that they had these, like shorter rifles, pistols, yeah.

I thought this is the one for me, so this is my new truck gun, assuming it

works

. I haven't fired it yet, assuming it

works

well. I put an 800 lumen light on the front and on a sling and then this scope is made with primary arms and It also has a CSS reticle, there's that reticle right there, we're turning sideways again for the fiscal year and you can see on the sides that has range markings, so it's the same as ACOG, it has range markings on the side you place your target on. you come back to the center and place the point where it should be and take your shot done for very fast range estimation and very good target acquisition and engagement.

I just received this scope, it is a 3X magnification scope and it is battery lit. power so you turn it on or off right here there's no way the plates are going to stop a 760 for 39 but I mean I don't want to just make that statement I want to do it right that seems like a hit guys yeah there's no way he stopped it no way let me finish this now i have a few left and one thing about it since it's an AK-47 mag it doesn't close the bolt it opens there's no way you survived no way no way No, straight up through, uh, so there's our hole that came right out the back, first of all, Andy, thank you for making these and sending them amazing.

It's amazing that cheap plates work like that and cheap mats can stop a bullet, but it makes sense because that's how they do it. Like ceramic body armor they have a ceramic layer and then a composite layer which is like tightly woven fiber so it's much more expensive and works much better but same theory we did it on a cheaper scale , so I was impressed. I didn't think it would stop as much as it did it was very impressive it stopped 50 AE and then the shotgun shell it's crazy so these guns every time I get new guns people always ask a ton of questions about them , so I will put a link to the weapons, sights and accessories also in the description below, so if you areinterested you can see all those things.

This is just a cool weapon. They're both great, but I want to say I've wanted one of these forever. In fact, I've always wanted one. I wanted a forever mutant and then I discovered the short barrel option and I thought, yeah, that's the one for me and then I made it as a truck gun because you want a truck gun to be pretty light and easy to carry and have a sling I could carry this all day with no problem and it's easy to maneuver because it's small, it's not a big rifle so I'm a deer rifle or something.

We have a 3x scope, so I'll be able to do whatever I need. do in a defensive scenario. I also do it. I'll just say that sometimes I like to dream up scenarios in my head. I don't know. If you other guys with guns do it, but sometimes I think, What if I'm driving and I see a bank robbery going on, but the cops have him surrounded and they're all sitting there shooting him? only with your Glocks? that all they have are guns, they didn't have rifles, the rifle guys haven't arrived on the scene yet and the guy on the bench has a real rifle and a bulletproof vest so he's totally out shooting these cops like this that I just stop and think I've got it, I've got a little rifle right here, bad guy, Matt, the hero of the day, says in the papers that yeah, someday, anyway, that's why I carry a rifle for defensive situations and to save the police from bank robbers.

You heard it here first folks, it'll be in the paper Christian, I think thanks for taking care of it, damn I do this, I never do it right, thanks for seeing the ranch, thanks for being here, be cool, I'm a doctor, yeah.
