Can a Lead Knife Split a Bullet? -Material Science Knives

  • It occurred to me that I didn't fully understand why some metals are stronger than others. So in this video I wanted to find out, and then test it in a more fun way than anything strictly scientific. I cast knives out of two metals; Aluminum, and Lead, forged one out of steel, and printed one out of plastic. My goal was to learn why their strengths varied so much, and see if they can split a bullet.

    (about lead split) Are you sure that was a bullet split? Maybe the bullet was deflected to one side, but parts of the knife itself got thrown to the other side.

      I thought the same. Being lead i presume it would also leave a dark mark in the target?

    Typically people split .45 because it's slow, wide, and blunt. It gives a lot better "shot." I love the quips and puns too! Lastly, you can quench harden lead. It's not a major change but it's there.

    Small pro tip for the future: instead of melting soda cans to get the aluminium, I recommend going to a scrap yard and see if you can get some cast aluminum junk, broken engine parts are often available.
    I don't remember the chemistry but, in short, the alloy used for the cans loses a lot of its strength when remelted while the casting alloys don't.
    There also exists an alloy of lead which I only know as "black lead", It's pretty much only used for slugs and it's hard enough to not deform on impact (usually)

    hate the low fps
    Seriously love the awesome work that you do, those videos are probably a lot of work on top of the naration, I would have loved to see those shots in high fps footage, but I also want to be a millionair that can afford it so yeah not going to blame you for not spending several G's on a highspeed footage... just yet ;)
    keep it up!

  • @Lecherous_Rex
    @Lecherous_Rex 3 года назад +1

    Tony and Ethan, the hawk brothers. Also, hardened steel would be more brittle and less malleable, hitting it with high velocities could break it instead of bend it. I saw that knife fly in your direction, now I know why I've only ever seen it done with an axe.

    Right on for angling your metal targets and shooting from a distance. Some poor guy a while back decided to shoot a 50 BMG into a steel target at 4 feet and he got a good chunk of the grain embedded in his forehead. Thank you for practicing safety so we can keep watching you 👍
