I always like it when KZreadrs I enjoy mention other KZreadrs I enjoy. And I do enjoy Modern History TV! Your content feels like the closest thing to meeting a genuine medieval knight that I'll ever experience. That's partly because you actually do a lot of the things you talk about, like training Talos and Warlord to handle the clattering of armor, but also because you tackle a lot of the more day-to-day aspects of the period and not just the big, exciting stuff like combat and architecture. I never thought I'd enjoy watching someone cook and eat medieval food from peasant to king, nor did I think I'd be quite so tempted to try the peasant food, but here we are. Not trying to down other content creators; just commending you.

You might actually be able to parry a bullet, although it's highly unlikely. If you manage to catch it on the flat of the blade and redirect it, or use a metal shield (yes they were rare, but there were some) and do the same. I don't think there's anyone stupid enough to try, though. In any case, parrying is more likely than splitting the bullet in half with a sword (with the bullet coming straight at you) and not getting hit.

Knights: look at my armour, I'm invincible Mercenary: look at my handcannon, I'm powerful Peasants: haha, fork and scythe goes swishh

If my memory serves, there were also attempts to 'bulletproof' knights by wearing a breastplate over a cuirass. The breastplate had the design to help deflect it and absorb most of the impact, along with the cuirass as a backup for any shots that got through to stop any left over penetrative power. Mind you, this only worked for frontal shots to the chest and was very successful if the wearer could withstand the extra weight. Modern high power firearms will probably still treat it like paper, but things like birdshot or other low calibre rounds will struggle to pull off anything other than a dent, due to a second layer to stop it.

I think the best thing to compare medieval guns and armour to is modern guns and armor. Especially if you are talking to a gun youtuber. Modern guns have a large variety in power, from .22 to .50 BMG, and modern ballistic armor also has variety, from lightweight or clear plastic and composite armors, to ceramic with III+ and IV level protection.

Let's all just take a moment to appreciate how lovingly Shad looks at his new weapon.

I see the AMAZING possibility of a collaboration here!!!

Shad I am a bit of an armor and gun enthusiast. Modern rifles also have increased power due to increased barrel length. The barrel actually tapers slightly, so you can’t quite fit the round in the end of the barrel. This causes the round to build up pressure as it moves down the barrel, and greatly increases the speed and distance of the round. Plus the longer rifling increases accuracy. So handgun rounds are less accurate/fast due to the smaller barrels, and also due to the fact that it’s harder to steady or “support” a handgun to eliminate sway. So the velocity of a rifle round can be bananas, but just like the armor there are many different rounds and different guns. There are hollow point rounds which have drastically less armor piercing capability, but are more devastating to flesh. So even certain rifles firing hollow points may not make it through certain armors! And as for handguns, you’d be surprised how easy it is to stop many handgun rounds. As a rule they’re big, fat, and slow. And it’s more common to see hollow points fired from handguns than it is from rifles. When a lead round is stopped by a steel surface it has a “splash” effect called spalling, which essentially turns it into a mini fragmentation explosion. This could really damage the face of whoever is wearing the armor. So there’s another wild variable. Modern body armor comes in all shapes and sizes, but still used today are AR500 steel plates with protective coatings on them to mitigate spalling. They’re still effective despite being much heavier than modern armor, especially since they’re a fraction of the price. I am a bit of an armor enthusiast, own various armors myself. Fought in the ACL, fired guns my whole life, work at a company where we manufacture AR500 steel shooting targets, and I even own my own AR500 armored plates. Just some interesting tid bits to throw into your sea of grey area knowledge on this topic! Cheers man.

Well Spaniards did use a Guns vs Heavy Cavalry thing pretty well in the Battle of Biccoca against the French. Obviously positioning had a lot more to do than the fact they heavily used firearms (the post 100 years war French also made heavy use of them, for an early renaissance army, let alone their Venetian allies) but still. Hell, plate was still used in WW1 to some degree.

About the modern kevlar armor - It is not light either, but what is absolutely amazing are bomb suits, although you would not want to travel more than 500m wearing those, even if they make you a tank basically. I wonder when they will make and use exoskeleton bulletproof suits, an Iron Man essentially, but they would be bulky as Hulk probably.

if I could make a suggestion: a video where you use modern techniques to make old medieval style armor, and test it against the best weapons they had in the day, but to take it a little further, you could then step it up, step-by-step, to upgrade the weapons used until failure (preferably as incrementally as possible)

I love that shad has the uncanny ability to point out and aders my doubts that rose during watching his videos. He always does point out exactly what I was thinking just a few minutes before. (In this case variable quality between amour made in the time period that's mentioned).

Fun fact: the term "bulletproof" was originally used to describe armor that had been proved (tested) by shooting bullets at it to demonstrate that it was capable of stopping them. But the term wasn't used until the 19th century, well after the medieval period had ended. As guns and bullets continued to get better, less and less armor survived the proofing process intact, which is why it fell out of favor: the added mass needed to keep up with evolving gun technology made it too heavy and bulky for soldiers to wear and still be effective in combat.

As long as ,round balls' had been used, the cuirasses of heavy heavy cavallry could stop balls in some distance. But after 30years war in Germany or Parlament war in Great Brittain the armies became very large, it would have been expensiv to equip all men with armour, also the way of warfare became quicker. With exeption of cuirassiers, also some armour keept in use for siege warfare, for example helmets for looking out of tremches, or sometimes for working with explosives. The penetration became better with rfled muskets using , long projectiles' of smaller bore than muskets. In US civil war 1861- 1865 private bought vests with a two piece breasts had produced, they could protect against rifles over 100 yards. The german Grabenpanzer of wwl was also protecting in long distances.
