    It's much harder to break your own show's 4th wall than you think! Thanks for watching. TONS of great comments below, many of which will be in the next Footnotes. Blocking bullets like Deadpool is even more plausible after reading some of these. -- KH

      Well, I imagine that braking the forth wall of a show in which the host regularly talks to the audience would be rather difficult..... as there is not much 4th wall to break.

    Funny story, in the Comics Deadpool actually explains how he was able to like bullets in half and do half the things he can. Turns out this because of his ability to break the fourth wall. He looks ahead in his own comic so that he can see we're enemies are going to be and how they're going to try and fight him so he can counter them before they actually attack. Pretty cool, right?

    Deadpool is supposed to have superhuman reflexes, but you also forgot to take into account him reacting before the shot is fired, moving in reaction to the gun coming into position and starting his slice through the air as he watches the finger pull the trigger. Of course, that means he's mentally calculating the precise moment the gun will fire and where the bullet will be 5 milliseconds after, which isn't any easier, but gives him more time to be in position for the cutting of the bullet.

    This made me remember a man I had seen named Isao Machii from what I believe was Mythbusters or Stan Lee's superhumans show. He sliced a BB pellet moving over 200mph with a katana while standing 70 feet away. Simple math shows that the pellet was moving just under 300 feet per second. He had about 230 milliseconds to respond. However, it was stated that instead of seeing the tiny white pellet, as it would be nearly impossibly to see, he used the sound of the gun firing and mentally calculated the trajectory of the bullet. While I don't know what it would take to calculate all that, let's plug the difference the reaction to sound would make. As the speed of sound is about 1125 feet per second, at 70 feet it would take 62 milliseconds for the sound to reach him. So, if the information about him using the sound to react is true, then he would have 62 seconds less to respond. So in total, Isao Machii would only have about 168 milliseconds to react to the firing of the gun, process it (and calculate the trajectory), then move the sword into position. While not quite the reaction times Deadpool would need, it is getting close. Here is the link to a clip of Isao Machii cutting the pellet. ruclips.net/video/Qzhs1Z8Rwnk/видео.html

    • @zyxyx6754
      @zyxyx6754 6 лет назад +3

      First off, that pellet may leave the barrel at 200mph (or just shy of 90m/s), but it will most definitely not be travelling at that speed toward the end. We are also going to assume it's the regular 6mm pellet.
      Looking at the chart for impact energy of the pellet vs distance, a pellet with original travel speed of 120m/s, a third faster than what was used in the katana trick, the pellet loses 78,6% of it's energy after 21 meters (70 feet).
      So going by that, the speed of the pellet is going to be about 41,66m/s, *less than half* of what it was when it left the barrel. For example, fastballs in baseball can travel at 48,3m/s (and they continue to travel closer to that velocity because the ball is much heavier).
      Still an impressive feat, though.
      EDIT:
      Also, we have no idea how many takes it took to get it to work. Did they get it right on the first try... Probably not.

    • @josiahhager6069
      @josiahhager6069 6 лет назад

      While I had no doubt that it took more than one try, you are right. I was thinking of the pellet as a slow moving bullet and completely forgot about the reduction in speed it would endure. However, I do think that my point still stands about Isao Machii reacting much quicker than most people. However, thank you for the correction, I really wouldn't have thought about that.

    • @haydenetrom
      @haydenetrom 6 лет назад

      Although people do react faster to sound than sight which is a variable which needs to be taken into account, Isao I believe was reacting to the persons act of aiming and using shorter motions than a full swing to improve the speed of his response. He did have to guess at the trajectory. I'd say Isao proves bullet slicing isnt impossible but it's a one time really really lucky thing that's only possible between a swordsman fast enough and with enough knowledge of fire arms to anticipate a bullets trajectory AND a marksman firing a single shot whose good enough to consistently hit an exact point every time they want to. Otherwise it's just pure luck that a blade is where a bullet is going.

      • Luger Casing = 19mm [length]
      All of this 9mm Luger/9mm Nato/9x19mm Parabellum business is a generalization to distinguish the 9x19 Luger round from similar arounds like the .380 ACP/9mm Kurtz, 38 Super, .9x21mm, or the 9mm Makarov.
      According to SAAMI:
      9mm bullet diameter spec is .3555" -.0033" (9.030mm-0.076mm)

If Deadpool had a good idea of what path the bullet would take based on firing position and the person with the gun's body language was indicating I think it might drastically cut down the required time to react due to his moving actively to meet the bullet midway, as opposed to reacting solely after the bullet was fired

    So... the reaction time only covers the internal processes of reacting to the incoming bullet. The actual time taken to move the sword from where it is to where it needs to be would be significant on top of the 5ms. Probably needing Flash speed and the inherent problems with acceleration. Deadpool definitely doesnt have that capability, at least he doesnt bother to use it at any other time. More plausible(?) is the idea that he is super effective (or super naturally effective) at reading/predicting what the shooter is about to do and acts simultaneously to meet the bullet in mid air rather than starting to react after its been fired. Now Deadpool is certainly fond of a fourth wall break, and seems to be aware of the fictional nature of the universe he is in, so maybe its this same insight or perception that allows him to judge when a bullet is going to come and from where?

    • @pex_the_unalivedrunk6785
      @pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 5 лет назад +3

      A real person CAN block a bullet, however they cannot wait for the gun to fire, reaction time is WAAAYYY to slow. How it works rather is reacting to the man holding the gun, that is humanly possible. Taking note of the direction(looking up the barrel of the gun) anticipating the shot and putting something along that path BEFORE it is fired can be done...but you need loads of intution, and luck on your side...and quick wits, you gotta think faster than the guy who's squeezing the trigger while trying to point the barrel in your direction.

    Reaction time cutting bullets isn't really a factor for Deadpool. His fourth wall breaking means he is watching the bullets come at him in slow motion; "Did we get that in slow mo?" giving him all the time he needs to react and precisely place his katana.

      That is what I immediately thought too. Deadpool actually knows the location of each and every shot in essence at any moment outside of normal time. He is merely attempting to slice them using his heightened speed and reflexes to attempt to cut them in space in time he is already fully aware of which means he reacts before the actual shot leaves the barrel so reaction time is not a factor. He likely also knows before hand how futile his efforts really are but does it anyway because it's fun and funny.

    But Deadpool isn't holding the sword still, he is swinging it. The larger the difference in velocity between the bullet and the sword, the more horizontal velocity is produced as a result (0.342 m/s per m/s of forward velocity assuming a 20 degree angle on each side of the blade).
    Also momentum must be conserved, so the forward velocity of the bullet must have also decreased proportionally to the cosine of the blade angle, I can't remember if you accounted for this.
    These two things together (decreased forward velocity and increased horizontal velocity) increase as the sword velocity increases, so the physics may be more on Deadpool's side here than initially calculated.

      Jonathan Schram Not to mention that in the scene from that movie we don't talk about, the bullet halves went by his head rather than his torso. Much smaller target, so the angle of the blade could be much more shallow.

      EVERYONE IS FORGETTING THE FACT THAT NO BLADE WILL EVER BE HELD PARALLEL TO A BODY, BUT RATHER AT A MUCH MORE CONFORTABLE 30-70 DEGREES, MEANING THE IMPACT AND THUS SLICE WOULD HAPPEN A LOT EARLIER, AND THUS INCREASE ever so slightly THE ANGLE.

    there are a few problems. 1, the bullet is not 19mm long, that is the entire cartridge length. also, dont forget that the bullet is spinning at high rpm, which will effect the deflection of the halves.

      Dustin Shadle Many of the slow mo expiriments show the bullet pieces angling straight away with very little continued spin. If anything, there is a slight vertical deviation.

    Would deadpool really be reacting to the bullet leaving the chamber? Or would be be watching Cables arm/hand and the angle of the gun?

    • @HoundOfMrGod
      @HoundOfMrGod 6 лет назад +4

      he'd have to align his sword with the barrel in time, have either a firm enough grip to withstand the bullet's impact or be swinging, along with a trigger squeeze probably taking less then 100ms if i'm being generous, and cable shoots a different place every shot as shown in the trailer, so it's constant adjustments which slow reaction time. still, humans can react at 110ms at a professional gamer level so a super human with powers could probably half that atleast.

    • @peteh4355
      @peteh4355 6 лет назад

      HoundOfMrGod I was actually just going to reply about the fact that Cable could see Deadpool slicing the bullets and constantly aim for different parts of the torso, which would require godly reaction times all the same if still trying to cut from the guns directions..

    • @christsdisciple3105
      @christsdisciple3105 6 лет назад

      He could. Would require knowing how much the recoil would affect where the bullet would end up going, which would require him knowing how strong Cable is gripping the gun plus the recoil of the gun.

    Deadpool successfully splits bullets at head height in Xmen Origins and DP2 so the 50cm clearance isn't needed, half it. When he attempts to do it against Cable below head height he's hit multiple times to hammer this home. Really though. If you had reaction times needed to slice bullets you wouldn't have to as you could simply move aside. Couple that with deadpool's healing factor and the answer to whether or not Deadpool needs to slice bullets is apparent. The answer is, yes he does cause it looks cool as f...

      @alexanerose4820 6 лет назад +3

      Actually it would make more sense to slice the ones you can't dodge (since you're still a big target and take time to move) and just ignore the rest. Standing head on and blocking every bullet that comes your way is more of a screw you moment to the guy holding the gun when in reality you should be slicing bullets WHILE dodging and ADVANCING towards the guy with the gun

    • @boboiii7571
      @boboiii7571 6 лет назад

      Cleife117 if you had the reactions time needed you couldnt "simply move aside" becauss thats hard as fuck, and deadpool isnt known for super strenght/speed, so its not really possible for him to dodge bullets (unless he maybe anticipates 1-2 of them and starts moving in advance, which like i said, would only work for a small number of bullets)
      On the other hand, its much easier to move your hands, they have less mass and a ferm "grip" on your body. Moving them at a really high speed in almost an instant itspossible even for a normal human
