Can You Stack Body Armor? Is Stacking BODY ARMOR Effective?!
Today Dr. HalfCock takes on science and the question. How effective is stacking different levels of body armor to make better armor?

Call of duty has taught me that real operators wear 3 armor plates in the front of their plate carrier, and after they get shot they just shove another couple plates in.

I really appreciate that you guys actually took the time to properly explain/test this. Other KZreadrs would not have put in the effort. That opening joke tho 👀
Definitely some fun testing right there. Thanks for the hard work Dr.Halfcock and flipflop ninja.
This channel and company is amazing. It baffles me this channel hasn't absolutely exploded. On that note I'll do what I can to spread the word.
My plates come in tomorrow with the carrier i ordered for my brother (I already have the elite carrier). Every time I get a package from Tacticon it's a good day. I highly recommend their gear to anyone looking to equip themselves.
9:21 Kinetic energy is 1/2 (mass times velocity squared). not just velocity...
I appreciate the profrssionalism of this video. It's truly amazing that he has military experience, became a CEO and a scientist. He grinds hard.
This is why I trust you guys, using your means to see results, your smart, in a dumb way.....😊
We need tactical flip flops on the store! #tacticalflipflops
Funny and informative, 😂...lol....love how interactive you(Jake) are between the videos 2A podcast and keep your company running and gunning. You and all the people at Tacticon Armament, I hope you all have a great holiday season and Merry Christmas and a happy new.
One additional caveat: if a plate says in conjuction with 3a soft armor please for the sake of your family wear the soft armor under the plate. It might stop some threats without a soft armor backer but not what it's rated for.
Correction, Energy = (1/2)*mass*(velocity^2). Differences in velocity contribute more than changes in mass when it comes to energy.
Really enjoyed this upload. Great job guy’s looking forward to the next one. Merry Christmas
Still want to see a lvl III+ steel with a IIIA+ soft backing.
Having ballistic gell behind thse combinations would have been a good idea
I always thought a little outward curl at the top and sides of steel plates would help with any frag concerns.
So much fun .can’t wait for the 2a pro course and about 7 years worth a double jobs and absolute grinding till I can have fun like this. It will all be worth it one day to not have to punch a clock for someone else
You dudes are too cool for Cali. Thanks for the entertaining and highly scientific video. 😎
Holup... isn't KE mass times velocity squared? or is it just m*v?
Happy to see my ar600 plates get more fun/testing done. It's good to know that, with my plates, I can be an effective shield for others against up to 30-06 AP. Not that anyone is going to be trying to shoot me with such ammo, but it's food for thought.

Unless you're a German fighting in the Ardennes 80 years ago, you're not going to run up against 30-06 AP.
Awesome vidya fellas. Looking at that red dot riser I wonder if yall be hanging with Shipley😅. That riser could easily be sold for...say...$499
Bro science IS science! Great job gents.
I'd be curious of the stacked AR600 and AR600 + PE plate with an M2AP round that meets the NIJ spec of 2,880 fps, vs surplus which usually never comes close :D
Space game warfare and tank warfare has taught me about spaced armor, so I guess, a pair of metal/ceramic/poly plates with a piece of Kevlar in between could count as spaced/composite armor?
Local cop in my department once survived a 50BMG to the chest because he was wearing both his plate carrier and his dad’s, also a cop, who had recently passed away, to honor his memory.

Soft plate in front of steel. Will that prevent fragmentation?
A soft on top of steel would seem to help with spall containment.

I was wondering the same thing sorry all the guys talking about taking frag. I've seen the tests they've run with the steel coating but it would have been cool to see how the soft absorbed the spall that deflected from the steel

Great video guys! 😂 well executed
i bet 2 of those 3A soft armour stacked together can stop a 7.62x39
Move over Bill Nye, we have a real Science Guy 🧐😘
I'm curious to see how many 3A+ hard poly plates it takes to stop an M855. For science. My best guess is it goes through 5 plates, and stops on the 6th.
Ok how do I get on the R&D or Design Team? Fellow poor boy here that has taken many dives into the bargain bins at my gun shops in order to make what I need be reliable out in the field and on the range. I want in
I ran plates in my flak and two in my plate carrier for one op. my knees have never forgave me.
Bro super funny..best video 😂😂
Solution, strap those reactive plates they put on tanks onto your chest You may even stop some explosives, so that's like lvl20-30 armor No need to thank me, just make sure you have back insurance
Tacticon armament can you guys do a plate like at 19:55 but less steel thickness! What i mean is a custom order of steel strike face half the thickness and weight but thick poly backer that would be amazing right around 8lbs !🤞🤞
Honestly, what we really want to focus on is what is the least protection one needs for the realistic threat of you know who and what bullets they're using. We know it's not handgun rounds. But, what plate(s) is/are sufficient for this specific task?
Where do we get that Tacticon knife????
This has disappointingly little to do with the brand of amazing pants that go great with flip flops.
nice
Tbh I always wondered just was curious
Was hoping for ar600 and lvl 4 with m193 but I think you went beyond with the BBT (Big Black Tip) I actually had this dumb ass idea a while back. I have level 4 plates but hearing you talk about steel’s multiple hit factor makes me want it, but here in the good ol’ USA most people have green tip and m 193 so I think it’d go through just steel but not steel and lvl 4 but it will weight 14-15 lbs for both front and back. Will there ever be a stronger steel?

If you layer steel and level IV, you're going to have a rig that is well over 30 pounds, if you can even find a carrier that accomodates double plates.
Why did you add the lvl 3a but multiply the rest? Wouldn't they have become 9a^2?
so how about stacking AR600 with Safelife FRAS?
🤓 this is all I see when you wear those glasses🤣🤣
I just want to knownis stacking a soft or kevlar/fiber plate onntop of a steel plate will prevent spalling

Only if you can carry it ...
Whybdidnt he put the soft/weaker plates on top? It better to use the lower rated tonslownthe bullte down and the higher rated to stop the bullet/pueces

In Armor plate world, 1+1

You mean the duct tape didn’t increase the stopping power? I thought duct tape fixed everything
God damn that trauma dump at the start
I don't see nothing wrong or questionable about using soft armor in conjunction with steel armor. I could see soft armor being great for spauling and debris. But I'm just a flat range roaming civilian
Jfc you said "science" so many tines i thought i was watching a press confrence with fauci.
On this episode of Science with Dr. Halfcock, we ask the question "does stacking two girls with B cups equal one girl with C cups? Does stacking two girls with D cups equal one girl with double D's?, and does stacking a dozen girls with A cups equal one Christina Hendricks?", this and more on Science with Dr. Halfcock!
