We're from the Kingsman tailor shop in London maybe you've heard of us?
Today marks the beginning of a new age, I'm gonna show you it...
Hey guys I'm the Hacksmith and we take fictional ideas from comics movies and
video games and make it real! We've made Captain America's electromagnet shield
Batman's grappling hook gun complete with an ascension winch, Reinhardt's
rocket hammer and we've even made the plasma rifle from Mass Effect as well as
working on Zarya's particle cannon!
but I've always wanted to try and make some of the gadgets from Kingsman!
especially the umbrella!
Unfortunately I never really got around to it which is why I was super excited when 20th Century Fox
asked it will be possible to make a real-life version of the umbrella
because Kingsman the Golden Circle which is the sequel is coming out soon and the
umbrella is back and more badass than ever!
so what do you think is it possible to make it real let's find out but first
we're going to need a good quality umbrella
and as it turns out a good quality umbrella is pretty durable!
so you can definitely use an umbrella good melee weapon but the best defense
is a good offense so let's make this shoot and to do that we're gonna be
using these co2 cartridges because they pack a punch with over 800 psi inside
now we're gonna use a tire inflator and we tried a few different brands but we
found this is the best one if you have a tube simply attach the tire inflator and
bam you got yourself a blowgun not bad alright let's modify the umbrella now
first we need to remove the tip and ream out the barrel now I've already removed
the handle but in order to actually shoot something through the shaft we'll
actually have to remove one of the retaining pins so there's another piece
here that's crimped on as long as that stays in place the umbrella will remain
fixed even though we took out that pin as you can see we have a nice clear
barrel now which means we can use it to shoot projectiles now here's where a few
things get tricky because we're basically turning the shaft of the
umbrella into a pressure chamber that means we can't have any holes especially
where this trigger is so what we're gonna do is we're actually gonna run a
piece of hose past the trigger then we're gonna drill a hole and fill it
with glue so we actually have a seal here alright so we have a tight seal with the
glue now you can blow the hose
and no air comes back through this hole and now we load in a blow dart
attach our air supply...
that one was real, I actually hit it!
Look at that! Well not quite bullseye, it's pretty damn close though.
not too bad eh? pretty accurate too - now in addition to the blow darts we've also
made some other ammo including these metal slugs as shown in the movie
next up let's add the most iconic feature of the umbrella adding a screen
so you can see through it
now the projector module inside this is actually quite small it's this little black
box here which is actually only connected by this ribbon cable so it
would actually be possible to make this quite a bit smaller the only problem is
the circuit boards are going to be tricky to place in the umbrella anywhere
so this is actually probably the most compact we're getting it
now to make sure the projected image covers most of the umbrella we're gonna have
convert it to an ultra short throw type projector which we can do so using a
wide angle lens meant for a cell phone camera
now the battery it came with is a bit awkward to fit into the handle of an
umbrella so we're going to switch it over to the 18650 battery
alright so the projector works and we can make it shoot but how do we do those
two things together we're gonna have to design a custom handle!
Now I tried prototyping a few different handles until I settled on this design which
lets us put almost all the components inside the handle so lets 3d print it.
Now the final handle isn't too much bigger than the original but I could have made
a lot smaller if I wasn't using off-the-shelf consumer parts foreseeably
it would be possible to make it as compact as the one shown in the movies
if I had access to better components
"Manners, Maketh, Man"
Do you know what that means?
The umbrella's packed with great technology and just like any firearm has a safety!
...If you turn it on!
This is a good suit! "where'd it go?" What do you mean where'd it go?
This could ricochet back at us...
Well it did hit me!
Good thing it went to the right!
Otherwise Ian would have got slug to the face! Good thing he has protection on!
But let's test that now!
WARNING! Do not try this at home.
"Can we like not try this here either?"
What? "What"
What you say? *stares threateningly*
Alright time to test the face shield!
That was way better, shot gun mode is awesome!
And one of the best features? Tactical vision.
It's honestly probably one of the coolest things I've made so far.
it's just so awesome being able to see through it making it the perfect shield
Well I think he's dead...
Should probably make sure though...
"BANG"
Now unfortunately it would be almost impossible to make it bullet proof but for airsoft it's pretty awesome.
So! What'd you guys think? Let us know in the comments below and don't forget to
