How Many Stretch Armstrongs...

[BehindBlueI's]

No. Buy there is a T-Rex in his neck of the woods.

Probably not a wild one. Likely escaped from Dinosaur World over by Cave City.

I never would have previously considered the possibility that you can make a bullet proof vest out of Stretch Armstrong's.

That would be heavy as hell...but very safe.

I wonder how Major Matt Mason would hold up to the trauma.

I actually know who that is.

I actually know who that is.

Ditto...had one as a kid. Lunar Lander vehicle too!

The .44 magnum, blew his head clean off!

He definitely didn't feel lucky!

y'all should also look up the Taofledermous channel on YT.

They shoot a bunch of wacky hand loaded and/or foreign-sourced projectiles out of 12ga shotguns. Slow-mo photography, too.

The production quality isn't as high as a lot of channels - but they've go almost 1.5 million subscribers.

Who doesn't like seeing shotgun slugs go through 1.5" thick lead plates? Or through gel blocks? Or through battle helmets? Or through aramid fiber vests?

After watching that video. Maybe they should make a new vest made up of whatever they use inside of stretch Armstrong toys as a level 3a vest.

I'm shocked that a toy can stop a 44 magnum.

 

[ol' poke]

Hahaha! The slo-mo of Stretch's speedo's spinning through the air is absolutely hilarious!

 

[Bigtanker]

Stretch makes another appearance at 4:35. Cool slow mo.

"Stopping" isn't the same thing from "saving a life". Crush forces are still a thing - and can still kill a person wearing a vest of some kind.

Even Kevlar does that. AR500 or AR600 body armor won't depending on the caliber, but you can also use trauma pads to help mitigate the damage from that with steel plates.

Yep. The steel plates can certainly still spall off the back - which is it's own set of issues. Many of those steel plates (and maybe ceramic, too?) have that rhino lining type stuff on them to help mitigate that.

Maybe someone can use that stuff in the toy to make a layer in front of body-armor for additional protection.

Kentucky Ballistics has been a channel my son and I have watched together for a while. So much so when Scott has his accident, he wanted to make his own video. So we did this....

Thats a fine young man who I'm sure will grow to be a upstanding citizen of this great country. We need more like him....And fathers like you. Great job
