YOO KENTUCKY IS YHE FIRST COMMENT
The representation of crossfit totally killed me. 100% accuracy.
Not enough thrusters and dropping bars during military presses.
not enough kipping
Not enough puking and torn muscles
Especially Matt's pullups at the end
A crossfitter a vegan and an athiest walk into a bar. I only know cause they told everyone in the first 5 seconds.
"Don't use this as body armor." Said after it blocked absolutely everything short of a .50cal.
And think of how shredded your core will get wearing the vest
Spoilers bro! Haha
Just think of how much metal will end up in your chin...
@@saltysaty8686 I'd be the crimson chin
I was right yes
I love Scott’s sense of humor about the accident 😂 This was great
“I don’t wanna ruin my thumb, it’s valuable!”🤣🤣🤣
The amount of dedication to film such a realistic intro. These guys went to an actual CrossFit gym just to get us some real footage. Appreciate that boys!
That’s a home gym my guy

Don't worry about the drons, that don't get it , I'm all the way down south (Argentina), and I understood your joke perfectly.
"The website says it's not armor"; the people making the vest: "Fools, we only say that so none of the feds get too suspicious about how many we're shipping out."
Yeah, no lie, I may get a few of these as backup plates.
*extreme concern because armor is a purely defensive item* (I know it’s a goof)
I had cops stop me once because someone thought I was wearing a bullet proof vest while I was training and was worried lmao....when the cops found me they realized it was just a plate carrier but then asked me if it was bullet proof and I had a suspicion it could at least stop a pistol but I really didn't wanna get into it lol

I love how Garland Thumb is just standing there most of the time and smiling
hes just happy to be there
I like that name Garland
The Hawaiian version of Garand thumb
Such a goofy person
Garand thumb is that calm self aware pretty boy of of your man club.
I assumed a 13lb steel plate would stop most common pistol rounds wasn’t expecting it to stop most rifle rounds
Stopped them all
all rifle rounds, only the 50 cal go through
@@wtfurlookingat1514 All rifle rounds _they tested_ (.50 withstanding), which was only 3; not a large sample size. heh So not all, full stop. 😊
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE It was about as good a sample size as one could get without testing every single rifle round ever made, which range from somewhat uncommon to be shooting at an armored target (some of the smaller caliber elephant guns like .416 Rigby or 45-70) to extremely rare if not impossible to encounter (700 Nitro, 4 bore, .950 JDJ) If something was gonna get shot with a rifle, it was gonna be with 5.56, 7.62 or .308, which the CrossFit weights proved they can stop
@@deeplyt00ting 30-06, 300 Win Mag, and 338 Lapua are all more powerful *and* non-exotic, are they not?
12:52 "SLAP ROUNDDDD" got me real good LOL
Manufacturer: "This is not body armour." Weight plate: "I beg to differ."
Imagine adding an unnecessary “u” to armor.

I was not expecting that come back. Hilarious.
*WhistlinDiesel noises somewhere in the country*
@@kyleg-rover7707 🤣
Hahaha I laughed really hard at that part
With this video, there's a one in three chance of getting hit by a 50
love that Scott just has a presence since his freak 1-in-a-million literal Shot of the .50 BMG SLAP round, just a presence, he literally can say he had the worst day possible and still be so soft and welcoming to be around
I actually own crossfit plates, the fact that they actually stopped these bullets is very surprising.
"What are the chances of being shot by a 50 cal, though?" "Pretty high actually." LMAO. I laughed way too hard at that.🤣😂🤣😂🤣
IDK, how many .50cal rifles did Joe give the Taliban
Here are arpeture science, we fire the whole gun, which is 160 percent more gun
2:27 "I don't want to lose my thumb, it's valuable." That might be the most understated comment ever. That thumb is literally a life-saver. God bless!
@its fine he nearly smashed his thumb at 17:55
Watching grown men be fascinated and as enthusiastic as you guys is always a great time.
You know the video is good when there is this trio
Garand thumbs excitement as his prediction of stopping every munition known to man slowly coming true was pure
except at 1:58 he said that the plates would not stop a 5.56 round
Artillery shells are a munition ...
@@judaswasametalhead so is a API .50 cal
@@UnionSocialistSovietRepublics even If it would have stop API.50 it wouldn't have stop even a 20mm so stopping every munition known to man is utopic at best

"Ok, only thing left to shoot it with is..." "SLAP round." 😆
When he said that I died
@El Mitcho 100%...😆
have KB wear the vest, and now you can shoot the steel plate with whatever part of the gun felt like flying backwards
Kentucky yelling at Garand " TAKE ONE IN THE NECK " because he turned his head when Demo shot 😂😂😂
I would love to see you all together more often! Even with just two of you it brings the videos to a whole other level of entertainment!
The most accurate depiction of Crossfit that I've ever seen.
😂😂😂😂😂
I am a chiropractor Crossfit people put my kids through college
Not enough slow permanent joint damage
Agreed
@@andrewfelcey5593 me as well
I notice that every time Scott shoots, everyone moves away and prepares to run away...🤣
🤣🤣🤣 that was great
I've been hit with lots of pistol ricochets but definitely wouldn't want to get hit with a high power ricochet!!!
These men are real american heros. Love these brothers.
these three together make the perfect trio! more of these three pls!!
Kentucky: “Only thing left to shoot it with…” Matt: “SLAP round” Everyone: laughs 😂
Yesss
Dying at that part!
SAVAGE :-)
Lol probably will never shoot that economy priced 50 cal again. Probably should stay away from those slap rounds. Unless Kentucky gets an intern to test fire all ammo before he shoots.
Sure made me chuckle!!
“I don’t want to lose my thumb, it’s valuable”. That was a much better joke than Matt and Garand gave you credit for 👍🏻
I didn't understand it until I saw your comment. Put your thumb in it.
I didn't understand it until I saw your comment. Put your thumb in it.
Matt's jokes are cheese balls, Followed by that cheesey laugh of his. He kept pushing his bulge jokes but nobody was buying, lol.
GT has a thing for that. Join the cult!!!!
i didn't get the joke, my english is awful
I love these colabs! You guys have good chemistry. Surprising that the weight plate held up against the rifle rounds!
6:04 perfect timing wow just perfect
i love how garand had faith in the armor the whole video 😭😭 “what are the chances you’re gonna get shot by a 50 cal”
I agree depends on situation, plenty of people up here have them lol.
Pretty high actually 😂😂😂
not really, at 1:58 he said it wouldn't stop a 5.56 round
Believe or not, at this moment this comment has 666 likes
"What you turning away for" "Face it like a man" "I've taken shrapnel to the neck" God I love Scott
Yes

I found this as he said it
Lol nothing takes him down
I love your channel. Keep making good videos. Thanks! Gabe
I gotta say these KZheadr collaborations are amazing I love seeing all of you guys hanging out and doing these they’re hilarious
I really enjoyed meeting you and your sweet bride last weekend! I'm also glad my handloads were kind to you! :0)
Heck yeah! Love your stuff, Doc!
Hey! Now that you are here, how about we see you shoot some funny stuff with mat?😎
Hey there Dr. Lee! I saw your comment and just wanted to say hello. I commented on one of your last videos about getting up and watching the news and everything was doom and gloom and then my bell rung and that video gave me my first smile of the day. You put a heart by it and I appreciate it!
You Sir are an amazing man, with an amazing family. Young Matt has some truly great friends. Ali and Drew and theirs when they and you share are also amazing. Special thanks to Ali for filming the ‘deer and dog’ saga. It changed Many lives and filled them with the wonder that you Pat created and grew. I throughly enjoy all the Ranch channels and miss. . .
Wow I have no idea about this conversation but it feels really welcoming so I'm just gonna step in uninvited and push myself into this group hug 🤗. No homo tho you know? 💪🏻😎🇺🇸
Garand: what are the chances you’re getting shot with 50 cal? Scott: *exists in the world*
But not hit by a .50 cal bullet. Hit by a .50 cal _rifle_!

gotta come back every now and then and watch this gem again
Can't stop laughing when Matt and GT go for cover each time Scott shoots.
Best thing about Scott going to Texas is these HILARIOUS Intro’s with Matt! Hope you filmed a ton of them!
@today was a good day these bots are getting annoying.
Yes mate
You think that’s the best 😂😂😂 Brandon Scott Matt and daddy garand all in Texas would be the best
@@V_______ AGREE
That was fun guys, very surprising results and that 50 cal made it through, reminded me of the fire hydrant with the bullet stuck in it. I noticed just how dangerous what your doing is and I appreciate and really enjoy the videos, thanks.
The .50 bmg definitely made it through the plate. I believe the ballistics testing folks call it when any part of the projectile emerges beyond the back surface. If the highest point, when you lay the plate down backside-up, is bullet rather than plate, it's a failure and the round has gone "through." It's like breaking the tape in a race or making a touchdown. You don't have to get your whole body or the whole ball across the line in order to have crossed the line.
"Just take the shrapnel to the neck" Holy crap, Scott is hilarious!
"What are the chances you're gonna get shot at with a .50 cal" Scott-"pretty high actually" 😂
nah man not in ur local town im not saying nobody owns one but im saying the likely hood of getting shot by one is slim
@@thetruewoodstylesage6049 I think he said that because of his accident
@@Manoooolo is their a video? I'm new to KB channel
@@woodstream6137 Yep, search My 50. cal exploded

Great information
"In recent news, Crossfit has become the United States largest supplier of body armor to the U.S. Military. More at nine. And now, to sports."
I love that Scott can joke and have a laugh about his accident.
Have you seen his put a thumb in it or his new scottinator shirts? Lol
He's alive!
What happen?
@@dkdmdj his subaru rn-50 exploded and nearly killed him
@@wintertrooper7918 OMG pls careful
That was classic... awesome video thanx fellas
That perfectly timed "slap round" by Matt is still the funniest thing in KZhead 🤣
"What are your chances of actually getting shot by a .50 cal?" "Pretty high, actually." That made me laugh harder than it should have. Also, I still have my "Just put your thumb in it" sticker on my water bottle. Use it every day it work.
Your thumb or the bottle
@@rodmullen64 Both
I have that sticker on the back of my laptop.
Garand Thumb feels very Guardians of the Galaxy after this. Super cool and focused on his own, but when he teams up with another perspective you see the actual absurdity 😆
Awesome y’all work great together
Community with a brotherhood shines like star.
Garand thumb: what are the chances of getting shot by a .50BMG? Scott: you'd be surprised.
The constant jests about Scott's injuries is freaking hilarious. I don't think there's going to be short supply of 50 cal jokes anytime soon.
I laughed too. But its only funny because Scott is still with us and laughs too
I’m so glad he recovered so we can have this line of humor to run into the ground.
Yes, it’s amazing 😂😂😂
Eventually ak50 will be done. Then tested with SLAP
what can we say? they just SLAP real hard.
I haven’t laughed out loud for a few months and Matt saying “I can do it” was just perfect
The toughest thing in a crossfit gym is the plates.
“I don’t wanna lose my thumb it’s valuable” I’m in fuckin tears 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, 17:54 with the hammer was the first time I was thinking (don't try this at home), crying out loud protect your thumb man!
@@ShannonRamos He was actually referring to, how he had to stick his own thumb , into his carotid artery, to save his own life.
these 3 are so funny together. Watching Garand Thumb interacting with other people is a blast
It's (the good kind) Top Gear but about guns
Nice, even got the Ed Bassmaster "would you look at that" seal of approval ! 😆
You guys do the Duck & cover just like I do when I am with my cousins test sightseeing in our rifles right before our Hunting trip. My cousins haven't figured out the Angle for the metal bucket they shoot. YES, after the finished shot. Duck & Cover was our game and Whiz-Bang the sounds & instant flash back.
The fact you got flannel father involved in your shenanigans with Matt is actually hilarious.
*Shenanigans* Every time I see or hear that word, I think of Super Troopers. " *NO MORE SHENANIGANS* " 😭🤣😂
*flannel föther
Loved the look on Scott's face when grand said slap round
Ranch said slap not grand
*Garand 👍 See what I did there?
Fantastic video. Top shelf.
Scott trying to be cool around the guys lol... His solo videos he is goofball the whole time! Love this channel!
I can confirm the intro is 100% legit!! 🏋️♂️
Only thing left to shoot it with "SLAPP Round" lmaooo was not expecting Matt to say that lol gave me a good laugh
lets gooooooooo you guys went with Matt's intros they are the absolute best
Thats a really cool setup well done 👍
i. fucking. DIED watching that intro lmfao!!! the kip pull ups, the hip thrusts, the loose plates falling on the foot. all of it was so perfect
The best intro yet
"I dont want to lose my thumb it's valuable" had me ROLLING
This is the best trio ever more videos!!!!
Scott man he's gonna bring humor anywhere the 3 together is fun
I love how With KB and Matt it's all in jokes and with Garandthumb he just acts however he wants XD
Normies: "Avengers is the greatest crossover in history." Me, an intellectual: "Hold my beer."
They are all over each others channels
Wow dude that is unbelievable who would have ever thought it,,,,awesome work love your videos
These videos were the absolute best. Y’all gotta get together more often. Like quarterly at least these are pure gold.
We need abunch of these collabs, these are entertaining as hell
This is A first, A company that advertises something that isn’t body armor but actually is body armor crazy.
I am german. In late 70s in our Gymnasium ( no sports !) we had a , Kraftraum' / literaly ,power room' , a bit like ,gymn' in US. There hat been training vests with pockets filled with lead powder, we called this vests ,Schwimmwesten'/ swim vests.

@@brittakriep2938 jetzt müssen nur noch Liechtenstein und österreich kommen
@cloverleafsippa713 FR though. I live in Connecticuck, and it's the only state in US where it's illegal to buy body armor online or ship it through the mail. It's literally a felony here to buy body armor in any fashion other than face-to-face and in-person (unless you're a cop, or you work for the government; because they are above us filthy commoners). The fact that it's possible to have a weight vest with an equivalent rating of NIJ lvl 3 shipped to your house without worry of being imprisoned is phenomenal.
Dude that was one of the most fun KB vids ever… what fun. I love how GT’s sense of humor really shows in this one… and having Demo around is never a dull moment personified. “THAT THUMB IS IMPORTANT!” 😂🤣😂🤣
“I don’t wanna lose my thumb, it’s kinda valuable.” - Scott A true champion
Gotta love these three together🤙🏻
One of the BEST intros on any channel, thus far. I was seriously crying. I'm so glad Mike has been doing collabs lately; this is really turning into just one giant bromantic orgy with most of my favorite gun guys. Let's GOOOOO!
6 thumbs...oh the possibilities 🤔
I'm just glad to see that Scott takes all the SLAP rounds jokes in stride. The little "GOT HIM" from Matt after the slow-mo .50 shot got me.
Them rounds... ...they certainly SLAP pretty hard. I'll see myself out.
Awesome video thank you brother
Garandthumb In his own videos: very aware of everything going on around him, very informative. Garandthumb in other people’s video: not a care in the word,just happy to be there. Haha gun go bang!
I love how Matt has learned so much and ver the years. He knows the tiny 5.7 won’t work because he’s always putting too much faith in it. He knows that the plates together would stop the 50….he touches hot projectile not expecting heat..
He was told to touch it, give him some credit
Got to love a guy who burns himself for our amusement.
It's called reaction and content
This collab is awesome👏
Pay the man Matt ! Great videos guys . My 3 favorite gun guys goofin around made a fun video
"I don't wanna lose my thumb, it's valuable." - Scott. Truer words have never been spoken. 😂😂
i just understood that lol im slow damn
His thumbs are precious to him because they stop blood loss
I’ve seen that dude on the left before at a vet clinic down around Austin.
The collabs we all knew we needed
All I learned from this video is: Dont get shot in the chest with a 50 Cal, and .... I can safe lots of money on armour by taking up Cross Fit! Thank you once again! This stuff is a lot lighter than carrying around an Atlas Ball for protection!
It makes the bullet explode in your face lol I wouldn't use it
@@drunkymonkey777 But, like he said, if you wrapped it with something it would help that problem. Few layers of fiberglass, recycled high density plastic (which another KZheadr has made homemade plates from and tested). A little cheap work to this would improve that. That vest wasn't much of a material to help, especially after they marred it up with multiple shots.
Comment is epic!
@@drunkymonkey777 $15 worth of kevlar some non flammable filler and some duct tape would solve the problem. That or wear an armor plated chinstrap lol
@@drunkymonkey777 to be fair, i would prefer having some shrapnel up my chin rather than having a full speed 50AE going trough my already struggling ribcage.
In all honesty that was one of the most entertaining and interesting firearm videos I have ever watched, and I'm considering all the other well known guntubers I watch. Who knew a crossfit vest can stop my 5.56 green tips? I can't decide if I should laugh or cry. Or save up and buy a .50.
Same 😂😂😂
I was surprised that my steel targets stopped my green tips! They definitely leave a deeper impact than my .308 and 7.62x39 but they don't go through.
You got some unruly crossfitters ?
When Garand Thumb drops the plates on Scott’s foot and he screams i was literally crying i was laughing so hard!!! 🤣🤣🤣
When Matt said “slap rounds” I lost it
Got to say garand thumb looks like an adorable meerkat among KB and Demo.
Yes he's by far the deadliest one lmao.
Im glad Matt was able to do an accurate crossfit pull up 😂😂😂
I love how Matt's standard of crazy intro spread throught all gun tubers xD
Y’all should do experiments with the most powerful loads for each caliber. There’s some pretty crazy stuff out there and the KZhead world would love to see it
Bulge: exists* Tucky, Matt, and Garand: “hmmm that’s a good bulge”
But I’ve seen bigger
Y'all three are Legends. We crave more of this collaboration.
