Why Not Zoidberg?
You say these are walking coffins but there's not a single piece of footage of Space Marine Dreadnoughts. Thumbs down.
Hey, Johnny Johnson, I've got a video idea for you about last-ditch Axis weapons during WWII.
No, "Johnny Got His Gun", Johnny?
Also note that in the start of world war 1, some cavalry regiments still use traditional torso armor called the cuirass, which inspires infantry armour seen even in world war 2.
I'd love to see a sharps video since it's in so many movies.
Avante savoya is still the best of bf1’s campaigns.
Fight me
Funny about the increase in injuries – a very similar thing happened in World War II where they looked at planes that had come back from a mission and put increased protection on the places that were full of bullet holes. Forgetting that these were the ones that came back, and they should have protected the places full of holes that the planes who were shot down had. Go that's a clumsy sentence never mind.😁
There was also some armour that had tiny wheels that you got yourself in and crawled along behind it – like a tiny backless tank. Of course you couldn't see much and crawling doesn't do much for your ability to cross ground either.
The clips from "Many Wars Ago" may be silly, but to me there is is still something surreal and serious about it.
Great video!
I think you missed an important note, especially when you were mentioning that "soldiers didn't like the armour". It still hurt! Even if the plate managed to stop the bullet, you're still receiving all that force, just a little spread out.
I'm a big fan of Ned kelly
weird experiment
Hi johny are you have.more content related to armor,sword and knight related in midle age ?
Actually the Italian movie is called "Uomini contro" and is based on the novel "Un anno sull'altipiano", written by Emilio Lusso
they were too dumb to just use a steel plate on the vital organs 🤣 which is basicaly what they do today 🤷♂️
God body Armors back then We're made out of steel And today Body Armor Advance so much. We now have. Full body body armor These type of body armorers. Many cover the entire body.
It's a good point about increasing in reported damage. More people living and less people dying has been a result of many things, but sounds bad.
Interesting improvised armour example worn by an officer in War Horse!
Damn, about to hear about Matteo again
Moving in the no man's land wearing this is just impossible. Anyway each country involved in this war tried similar stuffs and we can say the helmets (that were not much in use before WW1) are also from the same need of individual protection. They also used shields, and you can see an accurate use of them in a latvian movie (if memory serves me well).
It's more effective if you don't put anything over your face, so you can show everyone how important you are.
There's no armor like plot armor.
Bullet proof vest!… The guy is brilliant!
The Fistful of Dollars scene was unexpected lol- solid delivery btw
Can we have a episode on AMX-30 French MBT?
The problem with armour was it was so heavy you couldn’t move in it, it was counter productive.
A sentry kit is available near your location!
What do you call a famous lobster?
A LOB STAR
Count binface?
I have a feeling the effect of this armour may have been more psychological than protection. I would imagine it would be easier to convince someone to do sentry duty if you offered them this
I thought that first shot of those guys in that crazy armor was a comedy.
Jacketed bullets are what ended metal armor mostly . Because soft lead isn't good at penetrating steel
Use large wheels behind a v shaped 30mm thick steel shield and i bet you can roll straight up to a MG bunker without getting hit
I can't look at Zoidberg the same, knowing it's used by Nogla…
In boardwalk empire the vet who lost his eye shows a metal face mask that a german sniper would use in WWI. It looks pretty limiting in FOV but it armors everywhere on the head but the eyes
Nice vid
Question for the comments, could a type of metal armor make a comback in the world of today? from my uneducated glance, a lot of richer nations put in a lot of efford too give their soldiers atleast some type of kevlar armor. however ive also seen a steady increase on armor for riot cops, here atleast they whent from reflector jackets and willow wood shields too looking like something strait out of cyberpunk (i dont know what its made from though). would it be efficiant in a world today too carry something like chainmail against stab wounds, nose guards instead of vizors and steel plated fingers on gauntlets? logisticly, effectively and culturaly yes or no and why ^^
Armour had some use in WW2 as well. USA designed padded flak jackets for bomber crews for protection against shapnels ( and they are direct precursors to modern bulletproof vests ), and soviet union ( yes, soviet union of all countries ! ) used metal breastplate for it's assoult engeneer units. Apparently it was even fairly reliable at stopping pistol and mp40 rounds (tho tbh, 9×19 parabellum isn't the beefiest round in existance )
I am an Italian enthusiast, so I had to watch that movie, thanks for revealing it's existence to me. It reminded me a lot of Paths of Glory.
I’m so glad you made this video. I’ve always wondered what WW1 armor was like for each nation after reading in BF1 that Italy wasn’t the only one who had it.
does anyone know the song at 3:14?
If you want to know more then Basford Dean's Helmets and body armour in modern warfare (1920) is the book to get.
World War One was hell on earth.
Knowing what I know about ballistics and the calibers used in WW1, any long guns would probably punch straight through any armor that wasn’t absurdly heavy. That being said WW1 diesel punk power armor would be awesome
It may take until the year 3000, when I come up with the perfect Zoidber quote.
Take care, and all the best.
Good to see "many wars ago",honestly it' s a pretty good movie and it' s aslo pretty realistic consdering the goofiness of some ww1 and ww2 movies during the 60s and 70s
