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

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 👏

You have GOT TO appreciate the suit builder’s concerns for the look and functionality of the suit. The car they put into it. I’m AMAZED. It came out amazing!

If you end up revisiting this, I have some suggestions. I recommend looking into UHMW Polymers to aid in backface deformation. These are sometimes used in IV hard plates. You can also look into forged carbon fiber for added rigidity, and layer it sort of like scales, or plate armor underneath the kevlar fabric. The latter would be far more work, but should, in theory, spread out the energy of backface deformation to an acceptable level while still allowing the suit to move almost as well as a standard tailored suit.

It's a damn shame we don't know the tailor's name, because I'd love to see more of their work. Even with it moving from a slimmer fit to a more general purpose suit, they did a fantastic job making it looks so nice.

The bulletproof suit seems pretty silly, but they had to come up with a reason why John could survive combat against other assassins; these trained assassins couldn’t all be terrible shots who missed every time they shot at John Wick. I kinda think that we’re maybe twenty to thirty years away from creating bullet-resistant suits for real that we could buy off of the rack at The Men’s Warehouse or something.

I’m surprised the tailor wanted their identity hidden for their clients. They did an incredible job and the suit is beautiful, it’s the perfect thing for your CV, a pretty looking and practical bullet resistant suit, that’s any VIPs dreamsuit pretty much

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

This was a fantastic project, and I love how incredibly effective it was, but now I’m imagining a tie with a very small BR panel in it for that extra little protection over the important stuff lol

As you found out during testing, there are 2 functional issues to overcome. 1) Stopping the bullet from penetration. 2) Mitigating the kinetic energy so that the bullets don't break bones. It looks like item #2 was not done so well. I think you would need an additional HARD layer to distribute the the kinetic energy better. In the military, they use a special ceramic for this layer and it is replaceable.

I literally just clicked the video thinking this was gonna be a myth busters thing where they’d disprove it by testing different things, I didn’t actually think they would succeed with such unbelievable results, this was amazing, even if it’s bruising and some bones are breaking, you would live with this suit on and look stylish, actually remarkable

Your expert bulletproof suit maker managed to have a lovable personality, even with the blured out face and voice modulation. I think they were my favorite part of the video. I would love to hang out with them for a day.

Didn't the suit armor in the movies work by using a layer of silicon-carbide discs to deform the bullets and spread out the impact energy across a wider surface? I wonder how that would change the effectiveness of the armor or its final dimensions...

*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 ► kzonlines.info/up/a6mAgLLIoaSmnYE/bejne *#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!

this is unreal! I cannot believe how long it took me to stumble across this channel! you and your team absolutely ROCK!

This is fs one of the best and most real projects they have ever done, some projects end up hacking a lil bit to get the full effect just bc of modern technology not being able to fully recreate it, but this project has officially gone above and beyond, it is one of the most movie accurate projects ever completed!!👏👏

I would love to see round 2 of this using spider silk. Its getting cheaper with more companys creating it using protiens. There has been alot of interest in using it in place of kevlar. The way its braided changes its properties too so there could be alot of variations in weight mixing differnt threads and kevlar types depending on how much cash you wanted to throw at it.

Great work, this turned out a whole lot better then I expected it to ! That was very impressive to see and the amount of time you worked on this project shows dedication and a worthy reason to hit subscribe. 👍

The dedication is off the charts. Well done, guys.

So freaking cool! Well done guys!!

Gotta admit this is really impressive work, given how deranged an idea of a bullet proof suit might seem while watching the movie. Thumbs up

The problem with the John Wick suit would be how well it dissipates the energy of the bullet. As many times as Wick is shot I’d imagine he’d have multiple broken ribs, bruises, and other possible internal injuries.

She mentioned everyone looking at the suit and being oh cool a John Wick suit, and she sees every little mistake, this is something that scale modelers deal with. 4’ scale models of ships and hundreds sometimes over 1000 hours of work put in to each one, somewhere there’s mistakes and the only one who sees them is the creator. It shouldn’t detract from the fact that you made something people are going to be blown away by the detail that was put in to the project.

I love the way the tests were all a slow learning process and exposed some of the problems in the different materials. This all made it very enjoyable to watch. In all It was a very thorough, professionally performed test !!! Thanks guys !!!

Y’all could make a lot of money making suites of such quality. Well done especially to the person who actually stitched it together

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!

The effort you put in this video, just increases my respect for you bro

¡Gracias! Cosas así de bien hechas y de sorprendentes son las que muestran el ingenio humano en todo su esplendor

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

"Wow, this is incredible! I've always been amazed by the action sequences in the John Wick movies, and now seeing someone actually attempt to create a bulletproof suit like the one he wears is mind-blowing. The attention to detail and craftsmanship in this video is top-notch. It's fascinating to see how they integrate the ballistic materials into the suit without compromising its style and mobility. I'm seriously impressed by the level of dedication and expertise it takes to bring this concept to life. Kudos to the team for pushing the boundaries of real-life armor and bringing a bit of the John Wick world into reality. Absolutely amazing!"

thanks a million guys, fun to watch this thru....congrats on your great work....videos like this motivates the young into working more w/ their hands and brains in order to create something new and exciting....

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

It would be awesome to put the suit under tests with some sensors and a ballistics gel to measure the force of impact vs the standard vest. To get an idea of the feeling. This is still super awesome!

This is probably the most impressive build they've made.

good work guys, all the team did insane hard work I am an old viewer of this channel but didn't watched your videos from the past year or so and came across your channel after a long time and watched this video and now I remember why I started watching you guys in the first place.

This is crazy impressive! I loved this video and I hope you and your team are doing well! Also, the woven Kevlar looks like Shocker’s suit from Spider-Man.

I can only imagine how much a custom tailored version of this would cost. Probably won't have enough before the apocalypse 😆

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.

Really cool project and great video. Although a .45 transfers more energy on impact it actually has less penetrative capability than the 9 mm, but something tells me you already knew that ;). Should you ever do a follow up vid a cool addition would be firing a barrage of .22s at the suit.

Dude i remember when you started off in a garage and now you have grown so much ovwr the years. To everyone in hacksmith I am proud of all of you

This suit genuinely has so much potential I would patent it

Might be useful for space-suits to stop micro-meteorites, also have you thought about multiple layers of graphen on its side?

The dedication is off the charts.Well done, guys.. So freaking cool! Well done guys!!.

Get a *one-of-a-kind collectible* from this video, like squished bullets from testing, and even a sample of the composite we developed! Only available THIS WEEKEND at www.Hacksmith.store

Muito bom , muito criativo 👏

wandering how much would this really cost if manufactured for commercial use, awesome work!

Pretty cool, I remember brainstorming about this years ago in a café, awesome seeing the real world feasibly and application...try to get your material scientist to incorporate dragonskin-segmented-armor-plating in the suite, that'd be pretty awesome to see and it'd make it stronger

I am 100% convinced these guys are military or Government contractors, the stuff they have made is legit the kind of stuff the military would want to employ into their ranks.

This is incredible. The amount of lives this suit can save!.

23:16 is my favorite part.

You guys could try using graphene in the sheer thickening fluid. It's incredibly strong. May help with the deformation

Time to create more of this John Wick bullet resistant suits for future use!

On your testing if you were to have that material stretched out with heavy duty velcro sewn to securing your test pieces. Sure you would have better results seeing that all bullet resistant vest hold in place and do not deform as much. Great video. ~Paulie Da Cracker~

El video esta muy bueno , gran proyecto , y que bien que lo logaron . la traducción a español tiene que mejorar y no solo por los actores de doblaje , si no por la mezcla volúmenes ecualización y compresión, a veces sonaban mas duro algunas voces otras sonaban mas bajitas etc . son detalles pero todo es un proceso espero les ayude mi critica constructiva .

This is actually an amazing thumbnail. The question directs viewers to the video. The person is pointing at the main object. White background. A twist (the guns pointing at him). Overall a really good thumbnail, maybe 9.75/10.

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

Great job! My questions are whether the bulletproof suit jacket would actually absorb the round or rather the round would slide past it when Mr. Wick raises his jacket up like he does throughout the movie? Also seemed like everyone was using hollow point rounds, one would think armor piercing rounds would be used if this technology was so popular amongst these assassins?

Somewhere I read about a dress that was manufactured with spider web (from golden silk spider). According to the article the material was so strong that it could potentially tank bullets better than Kevlar does. However I believe that this has not been tested. Perhaps, If you could have access to this kind of material, you could design the ultimate bullet proof suit.

Despite the bulletproof fabric, I cannot imagine how much painful can be the impact. Sure enough to break your ribs 😱 but better than a bullet going through 😂

nice suit! you guys should try it with sensors under it to see if the impact would be lethal to organs !

Being a Brazilian myself, it was really nice to see it dubbed in Portuguese. Thank you, this made my day better.

*UMP5 shoots .45ACP -- sorry for the typo! The rest of the video is correct. We only tested with 9mm FMJ rounds since they have more penetration power than a 45. Vector was the closest equivalent to an UMP5 in Canada, which is why we use it for testing. Also, we could have cheated and used hollowpointd, but we didn't 😊 If you need armor, check out Premiere Body Armor ► www.premierbodyarmor.com/hacksmith They have certified slim bullet proof vests that you can easily wear under a suit! Which makes a lot more sense than a suit you can't even dry clean! (because you'd damage the kevlar and dyneema).

Ficou incrível!

Must have been the coolest thing wearing this suit. Fantastic!

This is one of the most dopest KZonlines projects I’ve seen congratulations on the bulletproof john wick suit🎉🎉

Obrigada por disponibilizar a dublagem em português 👏👏 like !

13:19 Ok, 2 things here about the custom ammo. 1 it's 4.5 GRAINS of powder, significantly less that a gram. And 2, if your using 115 grain projectiles with tight group powder. I've found that 4.3 grains is most accurate and runs roughly 1150/1200 FPS. But that load is also made at sea level and costal barometrics and atmospheric pressures. I have no idea where you are but figured this might be informative. Happy shooting -Triple J Ammunitions.

This suit you guys made would actually have a lot of practical applications. Secret Service, plain clothes agents, undercover police, the list goes on. Definitely worth at least a patent.

For trying to make a suit of armor I would get some of the SafeLife FRAS body panels that are level 4 soft panels that can stop up to 30-06. I’m not sure what or how they make the soft materials so great at stopping bullets but Kentucky Ballistics took a Gatling gun and fired 900 rounds into the chest of a FRAS vest/plate system and not a single round went through the vest let alone the level 4 plate inside the vest. I would look into the types of materials used in that to try to make the suit have the best functionality.

is it weird that I actually kinda like how rigid the suit looks?

Very impressive. Hacksmith R&D is taking things to a different level.

This is super cool!! I’d love to see a bulletproof/stab resistant Batsuit!!!

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

Something I just realized is his suit has vibranium level kinetic impact resistance, so maybe that's how he takes little to no damage from getting hit by cars or all the falls he takes from balconies or falling off buildings.

Keep going, if you guys can find a break through that's even thinner and more efficient the applications are endless. Who knows how many lives it could save

What a unique content. Loved it

obrigado pela dublagem em pt br ficou mt bom e muito mais facil de entender

It would have been very nice if you´ve tested the Suit on a "Balistic Torso" to show the injuries because of the power of the projectiles.

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.

This is one of the very very few videos I didn’t skip ahead on. Very very informative and impressive!

This was amazing!! Thank you for pushing to finish this!

I suspect this video will result in some interesting things happening in the private protection business, because it's hard to get a high profile person to wear a vest, but a suit that is comfortable and stylish as well as bullet resistant should be easy enough

Seria legal um desse aqui no Brasil ❤❤❤❤❤

A 3A vest is @20-32 layers total. depending on fabric used. now if you divide the total layers by the number of wearable items. then you can make each item thinner "less layers" but have a max total while wearing all 3-4 items. you don't make 1 item" jacket" 20-32 layers.

Holy crap, this is genuinely one of my favorite Hacksmith videos. Namely because you were able to reconstruct something nonsensical and turn it into something real and also maintain style. If you wore that suit outside no one would bat an eye and think it was bulletproof. You'd feel like a legend if you were getting mugged

Their is also the variance in bullet deformation caused on the bullet type, FMJ is range ammo and is much more susceptible to penetration, while defense ammunition/ hollow points are designed to cause maximum damage to an object by dumping all of its energy at one time. Most encounters will occur with the use of defense ammunition not FMJ to lessen collateral damage from over penetration. The major down side to using defense ammunition is that its much more difficult to penetrate soft body amour.

You should try D30 if you plan on continuing this, it's basically like the fluid you were given except its super oobleck. Upon striking it 'locks up', just something to check out.

A fun idea: fill a vest with rupert's drops and check if it's bullet proof. It would cost much kess and work effectively if pulled off correctly

ri demais com essa tradução automática de áudio do youtube, o cara deve ter repetido umas 100x "a prova de balas" em um tom muito engraçado😂

Love to see a collab between Hacksmith industries and bulletproof for everyone!

This is absurdly impressive work. Not only was it incredibly effective, it was also a beautiful suit! I can definitely say that if I saw someone walking down the street in that suit, I would not consider for a second that it was anything outside of a normal suit. Maybe upclose or on long inspection you MIGHT notice but that is still an unbelievable accomplishment!

CRAZY... MIND Blowing ❤❤ Hat's off To The Hard work & Time , Patient You AND Your Team Put To Made This Amazing Suit (The BABA YAGA suit)💪❤❤

Shout goes out to the sewing machine needles, without their penarative abilities this suit would not be possible, wait how did they make it through?

Damn. That suit looks so good

Beautiful creation. Masterpiece, truly ❤

Reloader here: you meant 4.5 GRAINS of smokeless powder in those hand loaded 9mm cartridges, not grams. 4.5 grams is roughly the same amount of black powder in a 45-70 rifle round back in the day. BIG difference :p Fascinating video just the same, thank you!

Its crazy that they managed to squeeze all that body armour into that tiny suit, mad props to the material scientist you guys brought in.

Good question: how much would one of these really cost to be made?

hey guys amazing work, I'm engineer in undergraduate major and I wanted to see a bit of the specifications of the materials, if you guy's have something like a essay or date about it, I would love to read about it, you guy's just did an amazing work and would help a lot in my research !!

To the human with the purple fingernails, FANTASTIC JOB!🎉 Thank you for the amazing work and consider using this video to further your career! 👍
