IOTV Rev H vs Eastern Threats Script release

This is the Army’s revision H Esapi plate. This is a relatively new revision, while it isn’t the most modern plate issued out to infantry, this particular revision is very commonly found and is in widespread current use among (amongus) the US military. To accompany it, I have an IOTV equipped wi...

IHPS test script preview

Task and Purpose, my own words, reading the helmet saving some turret gunner dudeThis is the Army’s new IHPS helmet (Integrated helmet protection system.) This polyethylene and carbon fiber helmet has a myriad of features including add on rifle rated armor and mandible for turret gunners. However,...

Ratnik sneak peak and script

Next loadout video nearing completion, I'm so glad that I did a lot of the ratnik stuff in separate videos otherwise this would've turned into a 30 min featureScript:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u22EZlJrVmGXn4y_a6XoIKOFSGVKdv7SdPFJwH-9IPs/edit?usp=sharing

Body armor update

Just thought I'd let you know what exactly is on the way already. This is not a complete list but this is just what armor is in my possession or already on the way for the testing.Soviet 6b3/4/5 plates, titanium, steel, boron carbide6b23 carrier with plates6b45 carriers, with granit 5A and 6A ra...

6B43 Gost 6A plates arrived

Hey folks, the first body armor is starting to arrive. Just about everything you can think of that the Russians made is going to be tested.

Kiver M results

Gonna be starting back up again with videos soonish.

Body armor dreamsheet

This is a link that shows what kind of body armor and AP ammo I'm looking for for future testing. Gives you a rough idea of what I'm intending for this test. Lots of AP ammo to beat the gost classifications that these armor use and test the margins.I need feedback on this, if you think there...

Weird sfera results

Does it still count as a penetration if only 6 grains of the 5.7 round made it through the armor?

First body armor arrives

Gost 5 steel plates and a bagary. I took apart one of the paudrons... it has clear plastic in it to shape it for some stupid reason.

ZSH-1-2 script

This is taking awhile so I figured I'd pop out the script on here for those waiting

ZSH-1-2 Visor weirdness

Here we have a GOST 1 9x18 Makarov visor stopping a 9x19mm round. Something it isn't meant to do. The visor completely bounced the bigger round, and the other visor we tested changed the direction of another projectile enough to save a life. Perhaps those Gost 1 visors are more useful after all....

Helmet test page update

Added WW2/1 helmets, added energy charts on request.

2dt vs 9mm and 357

Dug the bullets out of the helmets

Incredible

I am absolutely losing my mind at the amount of financial backing I'm getting at your hands. Especially the growth of the last month. It is hard to keep my emotions in check. I cannot thank you all enough. It looks like I will be able to continue working on projects virtually full time in the ne...
