Making a BULLETPROOF John Wick Suit in Real Life!

Get a squished bullet from the test! hacksmith.store/products/john-wick-bag-of-bullets

This is waaay beyond the usual builds. Absolutely fantastic. I'm sure your Edna Mode will be able to sell this to her clients in the future. Nice to see James rocking the Wick whiskers. Cheers!

Great work ya'll! Was cool to be able to contribute to the project a bit and see the shear thickening fluid get tested!

Your barber making you bullets would be something straight out of the movies as well. Great video all around

The tailor did such a good job. The suit looks great!

Now prank a local tailor by dropping it off for repairs 😂 Everything about this video was some of the best work I've seen from you guys. 30 min flew by, and the build speaks for itself. Great to see you back too, James 👏

ADDITIONAL INFO: #1: This video is not intended, nor provided as a guide for fabricating bullet-resistant composites. It is a HIGHLY technical field, and both the fabrics and testing cost tens of thousands of dollars to do -- and we still didn't get good enough results or data to bet our lives on. If you require armor, buy it from a reputable manufacturer who has external testing performed by the National Institute of Justice. #2: There is SO much more we could have included in this video -- if you want to learn more, consider becoming a member to see the extended cut ► https://youtu.be/8COMOcllvlQ #3: Even though our suit stopped the bullets, if I had worn the suit, I would likely have broken most of my ribs, and possibly died anyway. Bulletproof vests and suits are NOTHING like how they are portrayed in the movies, and especially not the way it is portrayed in John Wick. A thin bullet proof suit is physically impossible. It doesn't matter if you can "stop" the bullet -- the impact energy HAS to go somewhere. And that somewhere is your body. This is why most bullet proof vests and plate armor is so thick -- thickness helps distribute and absorb the impact energy from the bullet. A thin super strong material does not. In fact, there's a good chance that if a super thin bullet proof material existed, you would actually sustain MORE damage to your body, than the bullet simply passing through you. #4: UMP5 not MP5 -- Video cut wasn't specific in the final edit -- the Vector shot 9mm FMJ rounds, not .45ACP, we tested that way because 9mm have more penetration power than .45ACP. No .45ACP rounds were shot in this video. The Vector is the closest equivalent to the UMP5, which isn't available in Canada. We also did not test 9mm hollow points, because again, those are easier to block with soft armor. #5: Leave any more questions below, and I might do a livestream in the next few days covering your questions!

I blur my eyes and i SEE Keanu. That cosplay is god-tier. And you didn't have to walk till you drop through a desert till some guy finds you and takes you back to a nomad assassin leader to get it!

2:17, fellow gun nerds, as much as this entire section pains us, we gotta understand no harm no foul. Just let him have this one 😂

The tailor deserves more credit. It's one thing to create a lightweight bulletproof material, but it's another to turn it into a stylish suit that actually looks good. That's half the battle! I have been sewing for 15 years now so I can clearly see what a marvel of tailoring this is. Tailoring by itself is already one of the most difficult sewing skills. But to do it with Kevlar? That's another level.

I don't know what's more impressive. The suit or how quickly you can change your hair from scene to scene

I don’t know what’s more impressive the suit, or the fact that his barber makes bullets

Man that suit looks incredible considering the material. She did an amazing job.

so, not only is impressive that the suit is bullet resistant & very wearable; but the fact that is also ridiculously stylish is what makes it extra impressive, massive kudos to the tailor for doing such an impeccable job

The girl who put this all together, at one point she sounded so defeated and sad, like she had failed. But this was exactly the opposite of a failure - a monumental success. She is not just world class, she is next level. I really wish she understands that what she had achieved is of legendary proportion. She should feel proud of herself and her work. She's more than earned it.

That was awesome, only thing that im not seeing mentioned is that the bullet that traveled up and out of the shoulder seam could have hit him in the head... reinforce the seams as well as shoulders and your in business.rock this witha vest under the while suit build and you got a heavily protected well dreseed individual.

It’s cool to see this made! It’s not a new tech concept as you can buy these commercially, but really cool to see testing and production (at least available in the US, I think Hacksmith Industries is based in Canada so maybe that’s different).

I actually like how they take a second in the film to explain "zero penetration, but quite painful I'm afraid" bc it gives the wearer just enough to make it believable they can survive being shot but also makes getting shot still something to avoid

That suit looked WAY better than I ever would've thought at the end. And performed way better than I thought it would too!

The suit was awesome and the tailor should be very very proud. Some people don't believe the world is evolving into things we see in movies but if this isn't proof idk what is. I'm only sad that we didn't get to see how strong the pants are against knives but otherwise awesome video
