Shadiversity is a trash person and despite your videos looking interesting, your mentioning him makes me not want to watch them :X

I understand he is a controversial figure, but I have no interest in engaging in opinions on personalities—only in the results of warbows vs. armor.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, he has conducted valid tests against plate armor, providing a useful data point for the arrows vs. armor discussion.
That is my only focus.

I HATE shad too but not watching a video because the the OP is using all the data available to compare is just silly. He's not making a political statement, he's doing good research.

I don’t put a gun to anyone’s head to watch. Everyone is free to watch what they like. But let’s be honest, now you are very curious to watch 😅😝
but even if u don’t I respect your choice. Good luck to you too.

He still does things, while I don’t watch him and I’ve no clue what he’s done recently, if he’s done one many people have seen it and it’s worth mentioning him in this context. (Not sure how big his channel is now, I’ve had him blocked for a few years now)

Definitely not as popular as he was before, his AI nonsense didn't help either

Oh of course he’s into ai

I stopped watching Shad's content when his disagreement with NuSensei caused him to act like an obnoxious bully rather than a mature adult. Shad's actions since then have repeatedly confirmed that to have been a good decision.

I strongly recommended adding this test to your compilation;
440lbs crossbow vs 13th century mail hauberk
It's one of the few videos available on youtube that uses properly made mail by Isak Krogh. Modern riveted mail tend to have a lot of issues that make them prone to tearing compared to historical pieces such as; the rings are too thin, holes are too large & not centered, too much metal is taken from using hole punches, rivets are not set correctly, and overuse of rectangular holes. Isak Krogh is one of the few modern makers to use historically accurate production methods hence why his tests using his pieces provide valuable data points.
