Is there actual good Bullet proof chain mail or other crap like that, And if so could you make it in your backyard

>>64078821 (OP)
Chain mail is not bullet proof, even a little bit. Bye.

>>64078821 (OP)
You should try.

>>64078832
Yes he should, he should try. Well said.

>>64078821 (OP)
It's not really possible to make bulletproof chainmail. Even if you use a tough enough alloy and small enough rings that a bullet won't be able to pass through or burst the rings, it will still displace the mail to a sufficient degree to wound you by just forcing the mail into your flesh. Rigid armor is the only truly effective counter to gunfire.

No, chainmail isn't even dick-proof

>>64078821 (OP)
I made some out of 12 gauge carbon steel and proofed it with a 22lr in high school.
Really fucking heavy though

>>64078864
Your tip just goes right through the gaps huh

>>64078821 (OP)
If you want a weaved bulletproof material kevlar is your best option.
If you really want chainmail you are going to have to weave a hardenable armour steel and find a way to evenly quench it when you are done. Then you are going to need one hell of a gambeson to wear under it to absorb the blunt force and catch the bullet fragments that pass through.

I'm not saying it's impossible just it's a terrible idea with much better options.

>>64078821 (OP)
Perforated plate of enough thickness and matching hole size is pretty good at deviating and shattering the bullet against even tungsten.

>>64078874
For the example I used I made a 10x10 swatch of 12ga high carbon steel and it was heavy. They always talk about plate armor being heavy but chainmail is heavier. The rings were between 0.7 and 0.75, I can't remember and there wasn't a gap so 4 rings very tightly closed around each other.
I wanted to test .25 ACP and .32 ACP on it but all I had was a 10/22. If it stopped .22lr with no damage I think it would have stopped jacketed copper too.

>>64078821 (OP)
Absolutely, and yes if you can buy the materials.
To start with, you need a very strong but flexible material, secondly you need the mesh of the links to be super tight so bullets don't just go between them.
The good news is that someone already makes that material and weaves it tight enough for that use. It's called KEVLAR, you STUPID FUCK.

>>64078914
Coming soon 3.33mm rounds to go though perforated plated

>>64078956
Kevlar is fucking abysmal at stopping pointed bullets, i.e. every rifle round.

>>64078821 (OP)
I guess you could overengineer chain mail to the point of being somewhat bulletsproof, but why not start out with something that doesn't have fucking holes in it?

>>64079461
Everything is abysmal at stopping rifle rounds retard, kevlar is as good as it gets in its weight class

>>64078821 (OP)
Summerfags get more retarded every year.

>>64078821 (OP)
Just delve greedily and deep into your backyard and find some mithril. Careful about awakening ancient evils though.

>>64080114
ceramics, steel, UHMWPE and titanium aren't abysmal at stopping spitzer bullets, just woven kevlar. it's really bad because the pointed tip just pushes the fibers apart and slips through with minimal resistance. even against pic related in 9mm, which can defeat basically any kevlar body armor on the market. only epoxy molded kevlar helmets fare a bit better but not massively so.

this doesn't apply to just kevlar, other aramids or fiberglass or to a lesser extent carbon fiber all suffer from the same issue due to being woven materials.

Thank you for adding another screenshot to my "noguns faggot exposes himself" folder.

Op here in my defence i was drunk last night and reading / skiming off of this here https://newatlas.com/materials/chain-mail-fabric-stiffens-bullets/

>>64082127
If you make chainmail thick enough it'll stop most bullets.
It's going to be heavier than a rigid plate, and you're going to feel every tiny amount of the pain that comes with getting shot, and you'll have an intimate idea of what pain feels like as it breaks every one of your ribs, but it'll stop the bullet.

>>64078821 (OP)
Chain mail is just a collection of holes for bullets (or arrows if we apply the era-relavant reference).
Also possible additional shrapnel depending on how bad the bullet hits.

>>64082373
cody's lab made welded and tempered chainmail out of 1/4" thick chain or something. it might even stop rifle rounds but it weights a fuckton and with enough power it'll get sucked into the wound along with the bullet all the same.

>>64082395
There's no real benefit to making chainmail that thick because a plate will do the same thing and weigh less, and probably not kill you while stopping the bullet.

>>64082423
>>64082395
While obviously heavier for equivalent protection compared to a solid plate, there is fucking zero chance of small arms having the momentum required after loss from deformation of bullet and target to force a quarter inch chain deeply into your body.

>>64078914
Right, cover some T-34s with it then.

>>64078821 (OP)
no and no

>>64082395
so the bullet spalls through the gaps and you still die. waow

Cody's lab on youtube made a set of chain mail that was pistol resistant. It was made out of real 3/8ths inch chain.
>Heavier than comparable kevlar protection.
>I say resistant because it wasn't gapless and I fear spalling would be a motherfucker.
Chain mail is for knives or bites.

>>64082593
It's going to hurt like getting smacked with a mace or a baseball bat. It can break ribs or worse. It's like kevlar but heavy and with none of the benefits of a plate.

>>64081860
He's right idiot. The shape and the higher rifle speeds make a difference and if not, why don't you go take cover in a BTR against only an AR loaded with standard heavy ball 5.56.

>>64078821 (OP)
No. If there was, all militaries would be using it, you retard. Use your fucking head for once in your life.

>>64082916
Bait or reply to the wrong poster?

>>64078821 (OP)
why does it feel like the average age of posters on this board are 12?

Cody's lab, the YouTune channel, made a set of chain mail that was resistant to pistol rounds. He made it out of 1 1/4" chain. But still,
>Weighs more than a plate
>Spalling
>>Heavier than comparable kevlar protection.
>>I say resistant because it wasn't gapless and I fear spalling would be a motherfucker.

>>64084591
Third worlders, roughly the same IQ

>>64078821 (OP)
Even longbows penetrate chainmail. There are plenty of modern cheap recipies for bulletproof material, all over youtube in fact.

>>64078864
Strange way to say you've got a needle dick.

>>64078864
That's clearly studded armor, you dipshit
