I know nothing about ballistic, so let me ask this: Wearing a class IIIA body armor and being shot with a big-bore, moderate-velocity cartridge (like a P+ .45-70 or .457 WWM) at 200 yard, how would it be? Will the cartridge punch through, or will it be stopped? And if the latter is true, will the force of the bullet still enough to cause a concussion?
GREAT!!!!
IT WILL STOP IT!!!
YES!!!

It would be extremely painful.

your either dead, or about to be dead and wishing it would come faster-dead
it would fucking break you

Why aren't there any youtubers that shoot .45-70 at things? Everyone shoots shit with .45, 9mm, 5.56 and 7.62, but nobody shoots shit with .45-70.
Somebody tell Demolition Ranch Matt to get gud.
>>33508180
You're a big guy
>>33508246
Because no one in the right mind would use 45-75 for home defence,but still isnt a good enough reason not to fuck shit up with a 45-70 am i right?

He doesn't need any more money.
He is ruining his family with his youtube antics, purely for the pursuit of more ad revenue.
>>33508246
maybe something to do with it being am archaic caliber for old actions? wouldn't shooting 454 casual be more energetic amd more fun?
>>33508273
Well fair enough point with Matt, but other youtubers need to start shooting shit with .45-70 at least.

iv8888 had a OK video about shooting armor with slow + heavy rounds. Needless to say 45-70 or slugs don't do shit to steel.

because nobody shoots guns for fun. they solely use guns for self-defense, high-speed, low drag type tacticool shit.

This, get good guys

Hickok45 does some plinking on his range as he reviews things like a Henry 45-70 and a couple of others
>>33508834
Yeah but he only shoots steel and 2 liters. I like seeing a wide variety of materials shot, I find that gives me a more intuitive understanding of what to expect.
>>33508268
Have .45-70 lever gat sitting next to my bed right now.
>>33508139
The impact and shrapnel would most likelt be painful. The shooter will most likely magdump you just in case if its going to be more real.
>>33508255
For you.
Stop the actual round? Probably.
Stop enough kinetic energy from a cartridge that can be used for hunting some of the largest and most dangerous game on the planet? Probably not. It's going to hurt. A lot. A level 3 vest will keep a sledgehammer from going into your soft bits but it's still going to fuck your shit up.

speed kills armor, these old rounds don't fit the bill.
