00:00Today, me and Da Bolada are going to have a shield battle, a cheap shield built with
00:0450 Ries versus a shield built with 500 Ries and we're going to have to build these shields.
00:10But for us to know who will get the 500 Ries and who will get the 50 Ries,
00:14we're going to start the video with an airsoft battle.
00:16We have here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 balloons and whoever pops all these balloons with the fewest shots
00:21wins the 500 Ries, you can start Da Bolada. Safety goggles on, right? Because safety always
00:27comes first. Take your toy and go 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, music. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 10? There's
00:35one over there
00:36that didn't pop, huh? But then it did. It's irony of fate. So are you ready? For me to win
00:41500 Ries,
00:43I need to pop 5 balloons with less than 10 shots. 2, 3. Music popped that one, so that's 4.
00:507, 8.
00:52I got 500 Ries to build my shield and you only got 50, so you'll have to figure out how
00:58to build a
00:58strong shield with 50 Ries while I have 500 Ries. So I made this awesome shield out of wood mixed
01:05with
01:05metal. First I bought some wooden boards, a really strong wood, cut them, then added this sheet of
01:10iron here, both for looks and for protection. If any weapon hits the metal, it will hold up much better
01:16than the wood. And also all around the edge, I added these support points which will really help
01:21with the strength of our shield. Now the back part here on the shield, I put these two pieces of
01:26wood
01:27here to make the whole structure more rigid. And also these two handles so we can hold it,
01:32fastened with a lot of screws which makes our shield compact, rigid and very strong. As for me,
01:38with 50 Ries man, I struggled a lot, had to run around, make a budget, but what I did, I
01:43liked the result.
01:44I went to the junkyard and got this aluminum sheet, I don't know exactly what metal it is.
01:49It's a pretty nice thickness, very acceptable for a shield. And on the back man, there wasn't much I
01:53could do, I couldn't put in a lot of detail. I got these two straps here, they're simpler,
01:58the cheapest ones I could find. That's what fit my budget and I think the shield turned out pretty
02:02sturdy and it's light which will also help me with agility. Maybe I dodge a hit and run away. To
02:09be
02:09honest, I even saved three Ries and 40 cents I only spent 46 Ries. Let's start testing the shields now
02:17and the first challenge will involve balls. Let's see if this 500 Ries shield can withstand Roberto
02:23Carlos' powerful shot. Here, look. I didn't feel anything, the protection from my shield is look insane.
02:36My turn ended early. The guy kicked 50 times but barely hit anything. The shield held up well. I'm the
02:42editor and... I'll cut. Everything now? It's time for the 50 Ries shield scraped it there? I missed.
02:52Wow! Take that, it held up, huh? It's her, same old thing, same old thing. First test, so very easy.
03:01Soccer
03:02ball. The shield held up completely. Now it's time for rotten fruit, the bag is here and like I said,
03:07the fruit is really rotten. Look, juice is dripping, just be careful not to hit me for sure. I've already
03:13seen my friend Samira nearby, she's not doing well today. Me with my foot here. I can't feel anything,
03:18didn't feel anything. No, one more. Okay, let's go. Wow, man. Marcella exploded through the cracks
03:24in the shield. Nice, right in my face. I want this but there's no hurry. That's true but guys,
03:30check out my shield. Nothing, nothing, nothing. So far, it's holding up completely and I'm totally
03:35protected. Besides being big, it protects my whole body and I can still crouch down more and protect
03:41myself completely. If I crouch down like I did in the ball test, I can protect my whole body completely.
03:46Now you'll see the power of the 50 real shield. Wow, I didn't feel a thing. I was really scared.
03:53It's all good, nothing at all. And since we're filming under this scorching sun,
03:58the next test is the best one we've picked. It's going to be really refreshing. There will be water
04:02balloons, two balloons for the 500 rays shield and two balloons for the 50 rays shield. That's it.
04:12What an idea, what a little idea, what an idea, what a little idea, two.
04:17I learned this time. I threw it forward creating action and reaction. Lady Newton's law. Now water
04:23doesn't splash on me. The hunted is now the hunter. It's already the second in a row. Go, go, go.
04:29Well, what we messed up with the apple. We just cleaned up now, cleaned up with the balloon. Now
04:34we're really going to start with the tougher stuff. Now we're really going to test these shields,
04:40exactly. And the test will be with a sword like this one, a viking sword. Come here, come on. Do
04:45not
04:46attempt this at home under any circumstances. It's only because I have a lot of trust in the shield.
04:50Let's start like this. Hold it, man. Let's agree it's still holding up well. And yours,
05:05do you trust yours? I'm very confident in it. A lot. How confident are you in that percentage-wise?
05:10At least about 25%. That's good, man. Dangerous level, huh? Come on, are you ready? If I do this,
05:15look and this and this, you can't see it? Waiting, you didn't even see it. Look.
05:29Kid, man, the worst part is you got really lucky building this shield because you found a metal
05:33plate. Exactly. For 50 rays, you went to the junkyard. Congratulations. You have to have a
05:38little bit of intelligence too. Right? Now we have something really interesting to test,
05:42an airsoft gun and I'm just going to shoot at both of you starting now with your shield.
05:55Dude, your shield, man. You really worked a miracle. On the metal, the pellets hit and they burst
06:00completely. I'm just able to see all the sparks, the fragments of the pellets flying everywhere.
06:06They hit the metal, break into several pieces and fly all around. You did a great job, huh?
06:11Now let's see mine. I'll aim at the metal part first so we can see what happens.
06:20On metal, it holds up well, leaving a mark. Now let's test it on wood.
06:36I think I've already fired enough shots at them. Apparently it didn't break, didn't go through,
06:41didn't pierce, but I think it must have left some marks. So let's take a closer look.
06:45Your little shield is simply intact and unharmed. Zero marks. So yours passed. Test done. Approved.
06:52All the shots I fired at this plate here left a little mark. The pellet couldn't pierce any part
06:58of the metal, but even so, it managed to make several dents. Now, not on the wood. There are
07:03some spots here with slight dents, but nothing major. Also, you wouldn't be unprotected. For sure,
07:09if someone was behind the shield, they would be completely protected. And one of the shield's
07:13functions was to protect against axes, against throwing, and that's what we're going to test
07:17with our shields. Now, I'll throw at yours and you throw at mine. Perfect, okay?
07:21It's going to go something like this. Look, check out the whack.
07:27And it actually hit with the blade.
07:29I calculated the full spin to do a full 360 right there, and bam, with the blade. It left a
07:35little
07:35mark right here. Look. But let's throw it a few more times. What about now?
07:42The back part remains unscathed. There are some dents. There's a little wave here,
07:46a little wave there. That was probably where the axe hit. But it held up well, huh? Now it's your
07:51turn,
07:52right? Do you think a small shield like this costs $1? $500? I was worried about making something
07:56cool, something beautiful, and I ended up forgetting a bit about its resistance. Wow,
08:01I even thought I got it wrong, but look, it hit right here. Wow, so it was probably the blade
08:07that
08:07made that nice little notch there. Bro, what did you do to my shield here? He actually stuck it into
08:15the shield, bro. I can't believe it. It was totally possible for it to stick because it's wood. Look,
08:19even if we tap it, it already leaves a mark. But if it's thick, it holds up. Right, exactly. Look,
08:24there isn't any crack or anything, you know? The next challenge now is going to be the stick. Go
08:28ahead. Is it? Are you sure? But look, it only leaves a mark. The cross is already gone, but he's
08:45still
08:45fine. But since life isn't just about hitting, we're going to take a few hits now. Now I'll tell
08:50you what you did to my shield. The hand here, look, gets all red. So like, mine is harder. It's
09:02not
09:02getting dented by the hits. But all the impact goes to your hand. And the next test we're going to
09:07put
09:08our shields through is with this sledgehammer here. It's pretty heavy. The impact is strong,
09:13you know? I'm sure it's going to cause some damage. Let's hope not. Wow, I feel like Thor himself here.
09:19Woo! You missed, bro. You pretty much took apart my shield, man. You didn't break a piece of the
09:28shield. Wow, it's holding up. It's holding up. So take this. It made a wave. It absorbed the impact.
09:34It's here. It went plow and bounced back. It got a little bent, but it's still whole,
09:40even a bit too whole for my taste. To wrap up the video, now with a bang, here's an extra
09:45scene
09:46with something that's really going to be the ultimate test. It's a weapon that was widely used
09:50in battles. Maybe not the weapon itself, but the projectile. This is a flash.
10:09This here is extremely powerful. It's going to be the ultimate test and the final trial for our shields.
10:16Plow, it didn't pierce through. The tip of the arrow even came out. Here it made a little hole.
10:21There's a noticeable bulge here in the metal. On the front part, you can see the hole it made.
10:26But, Dabolada, your shield turned out insane, honestly. You worked a miracle with 50 rays. Even
10:32with a crossbow shot, you'd be protected because it made a little hole, but it didn't go through. You
10:36did an amazing job with your shield. We're in this together. Now let's see mine. One, two, three. And bam,
10:42it didn't go through. So look, if I was holding the shield, the arrow would have gotten stuck in it.
10:47The tip kind of went through a little, made a chip on the side too, but my life would have
10:52been saved.
10:53My shield held up well. Here are the final results of both. Now it's up to you. In the comments,
10:57let me know down below because I want to hear your opinion. Which shield was the best? Which one held
11:01up the most in your opinion? And which one won this duel? Let me know here because I want to
11:05know.
11:05Thank you so much for watching. Subscribe to the channel and I'll see you in the next video. Big hug
11:09to everyone.
11:10Thanks. See you. Take care and goodbye. Thanks.
