simplysafe.comdemorant to learn more thanks to simply safe for sponsoring this episode of demolition range welcome to demolition ranch welcome to matt's dragon skin emporium come right down so this is the video we made the other day this is i already forgot the name pinnacle armor so for those who didn't watch our other dragon skin video this was like the craziest armor anybody ever heard of back in the early 2000s it was one that i wanted to get for a really long time it was just super hard to get because it's not sold to civilians and then the company went bankrupt well i think they got sued by a bunch of people because they were lying about their arm it was a huge thing back in the 2000s and i finally got one yeah like 15 years later and we shot it it actually did pretty good the problem with it well i guess let me let me go back to the beginning dragon skin body armor has a bunch of these little ceramic discs this one got hit with a couple bullets but they have these little ceramic discs and they overlap each other like that and they have a bunch of them so they basically make dragon scales and so the thought is you have ceramic and then behind it you have kevlar you can see this kevlar in here behind the ceramic is kevlar bullet comes through the front hits the ceramic it breaks the bullet apart the kevlar catches the bullet and the beauty of it not being one solid piece of ceramic is it's not only flexible because they all kind of bend independent of each other but it also if you hit one plate it'll shatter that one but it doesn't hurt any of the other ones around it so a big piece of ceramic it can shatter the whole plate or at least the area around it so that was the benefit of dragon's skin uh but it was really heavy because you can think uh it's overlapping so you have like double ceramic in a lot of spots so very heavy and it ended up letting a lot of bullets through that they said it wouldn't let through so there's a little bit of lying in their company so this company pinnacle armor went under and is no longer around uh and that happened i think back in the early 2000s so we did this video it was super fun i was super pumped about it and it did pretty well i do want to give a shout out there was another guy who made us some homemade dragon skin body armor with uh some ceramic tiles and some like i think it was some kind of kevlar material in the back and i did not remember his channel name it is state fun so thank you man for making that stuff now dragon skin part two is about to commence we have this and this uh we'll talk about this one first this is from a company called safe life defense this is brand new and i bought it and it was like five or six hundred bucks or something so not sponsored by them i bought it and we are going to try it out so this one it's you can kind of see it if you get the right angle you can see that there are little segments it looks like it is dragon skinned out a little bit we will cut it open and look at it in a minute but i think it's dragon skin is the reason i bought it you can see like little it looks like hexagons actually little scales and it's flexible so it's a bulletproof plate it says we'll stop 556 and 762x39 so an air 15 and an ak-47 round so it does not actually say an nij level which either means they never got it tested for that or it means it just isn't an actual level because a level 3 in ij level 3 would stop at 308 they don't have that listed so i'm assuming it will not stop at 308 a level 3a is the level right under that we'll stop at 44 magnum but a level 3a won't stop these two rounds so i'm guessing it's somewhere in between a level 3a and a level 3. we're going to test that this is a commercial product that anyone can buy right now and then we're going to test this which is actually pretty cool this is made by another youtube channel called voodoo tennessee and he actually put uh the making of this on his channel what it is is i think oxygen or acetylene cylinders he got them he cut the oh here we go if you're gonna send demolition ranch something uh put your channel and everything on the back that's that's actually really good voodoo tennessee on youtube voodooforgebusiness gmail.com too easy dude all right his name is brandon brandon thank you so he got some oxygen cylinders he cut little squares and then he uh bolted them all together and then he actually heat-treated this so this is not just an oxygen cylinder he flattened it out and then he heat-treated it so it is armored steel now and he's got him a nice little skull right there so we're gonna do his dragon skin as well it too is flexible both this way and this way so that's the beauty of dragon skin flexible hard armor now let's test it we have it sitting on this guy and then there's a cinder block behind him so we'll be able to tell if it goes through and busts that center block then it was hitting him pretty hard first up 22 long rifle if this goes through bad bad bad bad bad for the company all right let's see what happens i thought should we practice shoot this and make sure it's sighted in but i was like nah i'm sure it's fine uh we did hit it fairly nothing even close to coming through this is a nine millimeter and this is a gun that we haven't actually showed in a while it's a zev oh z9 so had this gun for a while really cool gun kind of racy as you can see it's got a threaded barrel out here pretty neat takes glock mags very cool nine millimeter pistol got him all right that one maybe a little deforming there the dead center hit but nothing bulging on the back nothing coming out at all we're gonna step it up to something even bigger 45 acp this time this is a full metal jacket these rounds we don't expect to go through we're just kind of testing just to see so there's a little bit of ceramic coming out oh i can see the bullet right there and nothing through let's actually take this time to cut it open and see what this actually looks like in here because i also have not seen what is inside this so it looks like the first layer is some sort of fabric you can't actually see the scales yeah let me go do a little surgery here's the jacket real torn up there's the lead still stuck in there so on the front here it does have like some kevlar looking stuff really finely woven tight fibers i cut the back open too just to see it also has that on the back so we'll see when we get a little further into it what the inside looks like there's definitely ceramic coming out of here on these spots where i hit there's little pieces of hard ceramic coming out so i haven't actually seen a whole scale yet we'll shoot it with something a little bigger now something that it's actually saying it will stop on the back and see if it actually stops it next step is 5.56 and i feel like some people are going to say like matt you're shooting a weakened plate you've already hit it with three rounds like of course if this thing goes through that's why but this company said they sent a little pamphlet that came with this thing that said it stopped eight rounds of five five six and then they shot a different plate with eight rounds of 762 by 39 so it can take multiple hits according to the company okay hit oh wait no that's a nine where'd we hit oh right here okay so we hit right there that's our five five six it's bulged here and definitely crumbly in there but did not go through well let's shoot it with a 7 6 super 39 now it's a much heavier bullet and so it possibly will carry through but i don't think so 762 by 39 out of the mini ak we're going to shoot a few at it and see if they go through oh no okay let's see we got okay it's not looking good nope multiple of those went through okay we're gonna take it over and do a little bit of surgery and figure out what's going on interestingly these ceramic plates are not overlapping like they are in the dragon skin and the homemade ones we have uh they're just butted up to each other uh looks like my ak was shooting a little low i snuck several bullets in right here but we did have one right here in the middle unfortunately it was right next to where that's the 45 acp that went in so that one actually did go through that's right there we did get a bullet straight through that's the one that killed our guy these all hit low and looks like they were going through the same piece here so once it gets hit that's the problem with ceramic is once you get hit it's gone so where that bullet goes through for instance that nine hit that piece right there then you don't have a ceramic plate there anymore these are still good so you don't get in the same spot you're good but if you do like 45 hit here and then our 762 came through here and tipped that one but it went straight through kevlar so you have this this was not a whole layer i didn't know what this was that's just a flat piece of white some kind of fiber then you have your ceramic then you have a yellow piece of kevlar and then you have this a bunch of these really thin fibered sheets back here we're gonna shoot it again i'm gonna aim on this side where we haven't hit anything and i'm gonna shoot four rounds and see if i can get them to stop one two three four maybe i'm gonna shoot right side over here stay up good job okay we're just shooting two that was what i planned on doing that's what we're doing it's looking good so when they're really fat like this it usually means it caught them i don't see any extra holes let's see that one that we had earlier so let's tear open and look into that so i think these are the two spot i think here and here is where those two bullets went so we crumbled two and a half of these plates it looks like uh oh yeah that's that's hot so there's al that's real hot there's piece of it so it is crazy like it made it through whatever the yellow kevlar is and then yeah so there's a hot thing here and a hot thing here so it they're here yep there's a bullet there's one of them right there and then where'd the other one go i'm not sure what happened to the other one i don't know where the second went but you can see here only that one from earlier went through nothing else went through so it did stop him when we weren't hitting in the same spot but the problem with this as you can see is once you hit it your protection is gone which i think will serve this one well because it's armored steel so now we're gonna try the homemade one to see if it's better than the like 600 dollar one feel like i'm a knight going into battle i mean it does actually conform well even though it just has a strap like it's it's a little uncomfortable because it's very heavy hanging on my neck but it does you can see it bends to my body like giant pecks and tiny waist you know it just kind of curves around he also put like a nice little clasp in here it's fancy we are going to put on the mannequin and destroy something that this dude worked very hard to create but he wanted me to destroy it so what am i to do we're gonna start with nine millimeter it's not gonna do anything but if it does that'd be very bad so we got it just hanging over there okay let's see what happens did he survive hit there's a piece of a jacket right there actually uh nothing went through the metal i was kind of worried if anything would go through the cracks but it doesn't look like anything did and if it would go through the cracks it would be going sideways instead of out at you so i think we're good so now we're gonna actually step it up to a rifle threat and see if it will stop the rifle five five six okay uh those two for sure hits i can't really tell which one of the other ones was hits they all three hit and did nothing a tiny slight dent here in the front but what's interesting this one hit here and so when it hits hard steel like this it goes flat it spreads out in all directions which one of those directions is up and so it would have gone right here under this one where it actually went up and hit his business card right there and tore it so enough to tear paper but i mean much better than getting hit with a 556 going this direction you're gonna get a little shrapnel going up and down actually only up uh which probably if you have some thick clothing would get stopped by that so far i like it though we're gonna shoot a 762 39 which our other one did not stop well it did sort of stop it but didn't stop multiple well we'll see if this one does 762x39 going in hot that really pushed that plate a lot more than the 556. let's look there's some pieces of it there's one hit pretty good dent there here's a chunk of looks like jacket underneath that nothing going through uh these plates so let's try something that has a little bit better chance at penetrating so these are 762 as well but these are uh solid copper so they will penetrate a little bit better go a little bit faster have a better chance of getting through that plate okay oh wow what the heck is that yeah that went through oh no it didn't go through that's a bolt fell out i was like how is there a hole through there yeah that so we must have hit yeah this one right here hit right next to a bolt knocked it out and then we hit there there and there and so when they hit they go flat you can see this piece got stuck under the bolt there so that does not count as a pass through because we hit there and then the bolt fell out but did not i mean that would not have enough energy to go in and hurt the person so we are still trying to find something to make it through this and i have i have an idea green tips five five six green tips for those who don't know they're very good at penetrating through armor we lost the skull it came off and uh hit there obviously it bent that a little bit nothing went through though uh still so hit there that's a big dent that's a big dent it's trying but nothing is going through safe to say that's way stronger than the safe life one because we've shot it with way more rounds and nothing has gone through yet i have a gun that i'm pretty sure is gonna go right through this this is a 375 shy tack giant round going super fast there is absolutely zero way that this plate system will stop this round right probably we're gonna find out all right 375 shy tech going hot that was wild uh yeah there's a straight straight-up plate missing out of that thing i think yeah that's bad crazy oh my gosh all right so this is how you know something is armored when it's super brittle like this so it's really strong until something strong enough hits it and then it shatters so this was i'm gonna try to pull this back together okay so our bullet went straight in there right in the middle no big deal but this gun was sighted in i know i know we're really up the value for you guys here uh and the pieces are gone so right in here it broke two plates so it actually hit at the best possible place it hit at a place where this plate was overlapping this plate but it shattered both plates like glass and went right through luckily missed our tree went right there so yeah can't stop 375 shy tech weak so check this out you can see where it broke like it doesn't look like metal like it snapped it so fast and this stuff was so hard and brittle it looks like concrete like it's not like a nice smooth metal bend and then a break it literally just snapped like and so this guy voodoo tennessee i watched his video of making it he actually did a really good job because he tried different ways of i guess quenching the steel of hardening the steel and he went out and shot it to see what worked the best so he made like four different panels and went and shot each of them to determine which one was the best armored steel so this guy actually worked really hard to make this plate for me to destroy so i appreciate you you are awesome but anyway okay it's a it's a collapsible so you can carry it in your backpacks easier so we found out that this guy's homemade blacksmith made uh body armor was better than this one which was the commercial grade this one though i will give it to it it's much lighter and uh it also would not have stopped through 75 shy attack but that one every time you hit it with anything it was weaker this one i don't think it was weaker until we shot it with the round that finally went through so very cool thanks for making that man thank you guys so much for watching this episode of himalayan ranch i love you and i'll see you next time [Music] [Music] aah [Music] it's quite simple there's only one rule in the demolition you don't tell mayor
