  • @MrMrwhisker1
    I'm stuck in an infinite loop now because Cody said to watch this video after his finished, and now you are telling me to watch his after yours finishes
  • @dorusie5
    Cody finding you dead body on the battle ground: "My chainmail's fine, bit dented, but I can straighten that out on my anvil" ☺
  • @KawaiiKitten
    Just to clarify a soldier would wear padded armor underneath chainmail so there is a possibility the arrow splinters may not have gone through
  • @talkingdot
    its cool that the chainmail would survive the cannon shot but the person wearing it is still very dead lol
  • @B0BBYL33J0RD4N
    To be fair, if you were wearing 200 pounds of chainmail, you might be more likely to survive an encounter because you would collapse from exhaustion before making it to the battle
  • @Nik.No.K
    Once again confirming that there are only about 4 YouTubers in Utah. Waterjet, Cody’s lab, Nate from the internet/TKOR crew and… that might be it
  • @Skorpychan
    Arrow: Survived. Big bullet: Still dead, but the guy behind you survived. You may survive the impact itself, but you'd probably bleed to death afterwards. Flung machete: Survived, but you wouldn't be happy about it.
  • @SlightRecoiI
    Cody seems so happy throughout this whole video. He must've been so proud of his creation throughout the whole testing process.
  • @bemljj
    They look like an older and younger brother playing in the yard lol
  • @lakojake4215
    "These might shear off, then the rest of the arrow goes through." "But I would say that's not a failure of the chainmail." Tell that to the guy with an arrow in his chest. lol
  • @Somerandom1922
    One thing to remember is that historically chainmail was worn over gambesson, so anything like those splinters from the arrow would get caught.
  • @KorhalKk
    "According to Quora" Okay, now I'm confident on the info
  • @gottjager760
    6:22 No French Carabinier (who had received their brass gilded cuirasses in 1809) would have worn chainmail at any time, certainly not by the time of the Battle of Waterloo and not François Antoine Fauveau the poor unfortunate soul of the 2e Régiment de Carabiniers from whom this cuirass was recovered.
  • Where I work, we used EuroFlex ring mesh products. And it's incredible... YOU LITERALLY CANNOT GET STABBED! The rings are around 4.2 mm in diameter, and every single individual ring has been WELDED, which makes all the rings basically IMPOSSIBLE to just "stab" through with your most powerful blow.
