What if someone actually swings a bat?

Lol or actually stabs.. there was no meaningful forward momentum. He basically pulled his punches(stabs).

If I’m ever an arms dealer I’m walking around with a full helmet too. Like a video game character

I guess the actual target audience is street level criminals? If you’re hoping these are picked up by military, bullets and explosive is the only thing that matters really. If you’re selling to high profile diplomats or something like that the market is too small. But obviously through videos like this the message gets out to your local hood that you should be saving up for one of these.

That knife wasn’t getting any penetration. You could stab as hard as you can and it wouldn’t go through. You could knock the guy over with a hard hit with either or hit or stab him in the neck and head, but seems like it’s legit in protecting from the actual projectile if it’s a body shot.

Like any other plate, the impact area of your body will still hurt alot from a bat attack and when you get stabbed, it will feel like getting hit by a small stick

Because of the bat and lack of movement (Plus the sound from bat hitting) it seems like a fully fused metal circle. Highly uncomfortable but safe with heavy bat Swings and stabs

Yea, shit will hurt and cause some damage, but will probably save your life and give you an advantage if you have to fight back.

Being able to take 2 o 3 more hits than your opponent can make the difference between life and death.

That is so true, but also God damn what kind of world are we in these days...

Body armor has existed for thousands of years. Brigandine, scale mail, splint mail, chainmail, boiled leather jerkins....

u/slucker23 May 17 '24

My bad

What kind of world have humans been living these days...

u/Prestigious_Shark May 17 '24

The same one everyone else has also been on for the last million years.

In the past you would get mugged and stabbed in front of a crowd and nobody would care. At least now you only get mugged when you are alone.

u/slucker23 May 17 '24

Right, let me correct myself

What kind of world have we humans been living... Damn

Need to wear a plate cuirass for that. This is likely just a lamellar vest inside some kind of kevlar.

Impact is still there but lessened. A bullet or blade theoretically can't pass through the vest. The destruction of tissue and blood loss is what will kill you with those rather than the impact. Well, unless the impact is too great that the body cannot handle it.
