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 with standard kevlar soft armor backers. This pla...

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 feature

All I can say is soon. The Final filming will be concluded this weekend. I'm sure some of you have seen this image. I can confirm that is me on the right.

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.

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 is some body armor missing then please co...

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

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.

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. Just wait for the video.

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 near future assuming nothing insane happens. I have a...

I am working on investigative video on Escalation 85. Should be out in December. Interested?
Escalation 85 was a failed game project that showed a lot of potential.
