Развлечения
As an American who’s done a few competition shoots, saying Dan is an excellent shot is an *understatement*
He's okay. And we don't know what they're doing with editing.
Well he was in the military. Probably got a fair bit of shooting practice
Dan was in the military, he probably had plenty of practice then.
Seems like pretty average shooting to me. Even at 25 yards those are some pretty big targets.
@@joshuagibson2520 We kinda do. There's no extra impact marks on the targets, clearly they arent editing out bad shots
Pro tip: if you ever want to know when a video was filmed, look at the top left corner of the screen on top of the Phantom. The first number under the white line is the day of the year. This video was filmed on day 69 aka 10th March 2023.

Your channel is such a rare gem. You are what RUclips once was: Just people enjoying making content, and best of all you are actual friends. Please don't ever change, guys.
😊
They havnt done anything that hasnt already been done and post on YT.
Don't be stupid. They are making banal videos and heavily monetising them serving adverts just the same as all the other money grabbing channels.
I agree and I've been a sub since their early days. (I noticed a comment "...that havnt (sp) already...". There's always someone throwing shade. How superior of angelo.)
Ballistic high speed does basically all firearm related slow mo stuff if you haven't seen there channel its worth a watch
Everybody says that Dan is such a good shooter, but we have to give Gav some credit, he's an equally good shooter of footage!
Yeah alright mister Partridge
My ex girlfriend said I was a pretty good shooter as well.
@@kenbaker-ps6ej Then why is she your ex girlfriend?
I'm so sorry, I had to, I'm a terrible person I know.
Dan is so humble and nonchalant about his shooting abilities, but he is crazy accurate in every video.
Quintessentially British, you might say.
They dont call him Deadeye Dan for nothing.
Also appreciate the safety procedures they have
@@KlovarDan really puts that military training to use.
Because if you knew anything about shooting, that's the groupings of a your average shooter's first day at the range.
Some day, Dan's lab coat will be in a museum, _if there's anything left of it by then_ 😂
I like that his right sleeve is still hanging off & absolutely coated in paint.
The fact that you're right have my severe whiplash
They should just make a slow mo museum
Smithsonian.
@@ScytheNoire Smithslonian?
I think this is the best example for me of why indoor ranges limit the calibers you can shoot. Noise aside, you shoot enough big rifles and you're eventually going to get through whatever is at the end.
The combination of Dan's ballistics knowledge and Gav's camera abilities...*chef's kiss* maybe the best they've done, kudos guys
I always appreciate you leaving in the gun safety parts, really shows Dan's professionalism when handling a firearm.
I appreciate that too. What do you make of Dan leaving the rifle there with what looked like a box of bullets, where anybody could walk up and do whatever?
@@joshbobst1629they’re in a random quarry in the middle of Texas 💀 I don’t think they have to worry about that
@@joshbobst1629that's his box of jellybeans - the rounds are in the lab coat pocket
@@joshbobst1629There's respecting firearms' capability to cause damage, and there is being afraid of them.
You're leaning too far into the fear part.
@@joshbobst1629I t hi no you should touch grass and get out of your cubicle
I love how Gav and Dan are so enthusiastic about their projects without being annoyingly loud.
Good ol' professional Brit demeanor.
Not being born in the USA helps :P
It's genuine!
What, you mean you don't enjoy 'murican gun videos that start with screaming and fist-punching sounds and invariably have several utterances of the word "bro"?
Weeeeeeell... I do like Kentucky Ballistics, and Scott is pretty loud. So, I guess I am just enjoying the contrast. @@fallingwater
The broken vise shows just how much energy the old 30.06 has and how formidable it is.
Yes. I shot through a 9 inch Ford rear end differential case with a jacketed 30-06 round. The rear end diff was heavy, Had to carry it 300 feet down range. The holes almost looked like they were drilled through the steel.
my right shoulder remembers very well the one time i shot some 30.06 rounds many years ago
13:33 You can actually see the bow shock wave created by the bullet as it cuts through the air in super sonic speed. Crazy.
It's strange though, shouldn't a supersonic wake be entirely behind the tip of the bullet? It kind of looks like the bullet may be subsonic/transonic, but I'm no fluid dynamicist
In fact, I can't find any images where there's a bow-wake out in-front of the object like what is seen here, I wonder what is causing this?
@@Dendroapsis I think it may be because 30-06 is round-nosed? I'm not at all sure of that though.
@@Dendroapsis ruclips.net/video/uO4FckCAZtU/видео.htmlsi=5pMWf4P5-gHftKv2
@@Dendroapsisno, because the bullet is essentially pushing the air aside at faster than it’s sound sound speed. So the shockwave is attached to the tip, and moves outward to create the arc you see
A suggestion: When you guys film impact footage of things colliding really hard, have a simple thermal camera at another angle to see the difference in temperature the impact created. The thermal camera doesn't need to be high framerate, it'll be already interesting to just see how much heat got generated after the impact
And maybe a sound recorder. The first impact is expected, but the rebound sounds after the first hit might be interesting.
@@TheBntimmins Something that records at at least 192Khz so the actual sound can be slowed down with good fidelity.
@@TheBntimmins - The sounds are mostly fake. They're added in editing. There's a video about it on their second channel.
@@peterwhitey4992 I assume that's why they said it'd be interesting to hear the actual sound. Like the noise Dan heard when it hit the sign, it definitely wasn't that clear in the actual audio they got.
You won’t see much if anything. It’s all happening way too fast to see any appreciable heat transfer.
This ended up as a beautiful demonstration of the difference between hardened and mild steel. Nearly the same material yet such a massive difference in properties.
and even cast iron in the end
"Nearly the same material" is like saying Stephen Hawking and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both are just men, the same material :)
I must have missed the part where they said the type of steel... though wouldn't the 9mm have dented mild steel..?
@@azgaroglyno... as Hawking had a disability... it'd be like comparing Arnie Schwarzenegger and Palmer... both athletes...
When it comes to steel, the things the iron gets alloyed with makes a huge difference. To a point It can become a totally different material.
Love the way the spinning round hits the plate and compacts and stops rotating but starts rotating again as it relinquishes contact with the plate. The kinetic energy of the spin remains as potential energy until it's free of the plate and converts back to kinetic rather than the spin just being stopped and it rebounding straight back. Amazing.
The Schlieren-like shadows and the post-impact plate ringing were great! You guys rock.
13:40 The sun reflecting through the pressure wave of the bullet is the coolest part of this whole thing...that's amazing.
*Refracting.
How lucky are we the viewers that a slo-mo videographer and munitions expert just happened to be best friends. This channel is amazing, incredible footage!
I wanted to like this comment, but there was already 69 likes, so I just thought, "nice!"
They were doing slo-mo long before Dan joined the army! (He was an ammunition technician I think, one of their older videos says his rank & job title)
I'm just happy about the safety precautions these guys take. I've seen and heard a lot of bad accidents happening because people weren't being safe
Yep! These guys are quite the opposite of this one fool who wanted to be a famous youtuber and coerced his girlfriend to shoot at him on camera while he was "protected" by a thick book. They know what they are doing, they're sensible and they like staying alive. 👍
I want to shout you guys out because you've produced SO MUCH reference footage throughout your youtube career. It might just be FUN to watch for a casual viewer but to a lot of professionals these is AMAZING HIGH QUALITY reference that they can use for who knows whatever reason. It's so good.
They've been doing this for over a dozen years, and yet every video they put out makes my jaw drop at some point. These two have some serious magic.
They just don't know what the ground is
Yeah!! I don't think it'll ever get boring to get a glimpse into timescales we can't perceive. Same thing with timelapses
It is great that their jaws are still dropping too. They always seem to discover something new as they continue to explore the slow lane of the temporal superhighway.
My favourite RUclipsrs
they're like uncovering the world in slow-mo. and that will be a LOT to see
Dan, I must say that I'm impressed. I really have to hand it to you; most people are incapable of giving up their vices that easily.
Shakes head groaning
I see what you did there
Dad joke of the year - congratulations!
Just replace it with a new one.
Shear dedication, apparently.
You two are absolutely AMAZING, but I must give MAD PROPS to the gun safety. No kidding, you guys could make instructional videos for proper gun safety. FANTASTIC!
Armour restorer here. Whilst metal-detecting in England in the 80's I found a 'bullet' (musket ball) on the field adjacent to the Naseby battlefield site (Battle of Naseby 14th June 1645). This 100% lead musket-ball has mushroomed perfectly just like a flower!
I always had a feeling that what it must have hit was the body of a cannon or an iron-rim or hub of a cart-wheel for it to mushroom like that, as the conventional trooper armour in the day wasn't really man enough to completely fragment a lead ball in my experience, unless shot at a breastplate at near point-blank range like when armour from the same period was proof-tested.So CERTAINLY possible on the battlefield... it was just a feeling I had, as the HUNDREDS of balls I recovered, most of which are deformed I only found ONE like that!
Normally a ball would either pierce 17th century armour if within effective range or merely flatten/deform if outside its effective range.
Some I have, clearly clipped the edge of something/someone as they look like they have been bitten by a junkyard dog!
Interesting video! Nicely done. Best wishes from a French forest. ⚒️🇬🇧⚒️
I love how everything behaves a little bit like jelly with enough force and slow motion.
It feels like the laws of physics just look incredibly different at those speeds.
"Everything is a spring" made very clear
@@DanBowkley Depending on the speed, "Solid Object" -> "Everything is a spring" -> "Everything is a viscous fluid" -> "Everything is a dense cloud of particles".
In this case the steel plate was acting like a spring, and the bullets were acting like fluid.
@@VorpalHerring Oooo I like that one
From a brilliant comment on a Breaking Taps video - "So it's all clay? Always has been"
The shockwaves making a "shadow" was impressive. Very interesting to see.
YES dude. As a long time viewer of slow mo guys and smarter every day, I can’t believe no one else is commenting about that 😂
Yes, that was the best shot of the entire piece.
It kinda looked like the bullet had wings.
That was the most interesting part to me was seeing the shadow of the shock, amazing maybe try doing the same thing but with a light presence of smoke to really catch the shockwave
The first round with a visible shockwave was subsonic - angle of the Shockwave was less than 45° and led the round by a short length. Supersonic wake would start from the tip of the round and arc back more than 45°.
Even today, I'm always amazed by the power of the rifle rounds of old. Remember, both world wars and then some were fought with rounds just like this. Fantastic seeing the raw power of those rounds in slow-mo and high quality. Amazing video as always dan and gav!
I have a request for you guys: Many hunters, including myself, place a piece of masking or electrical tape over the muzzles of our hunting rifles. Question: Does the compressed air ahead of the bullet break the tape's seal or does the bullet pierce the tape? I think it would be a great experiment. Quick & easy.
It would pierce the tape.
Pretty sure the answer would be both, or the gas. It cant be blown off by the bullet, at that speed it would just pass through it like nothing leaving no energy behind. The gas is going to be what causes the shockwave to blow it off, but this is happening nanoseconds. So it's very likely the bullet will still pierce the tape before it is blown off.
Easy thing to test without a camera, especially if u do it often. Check the tape after u shoot. Hole = both, no hole = gas.
What happens when you put tape over the end of a syringe? The air has to go somewhere before the plunger gets to the bottom. A gun is like an engine or air pump/pneumatic cylinder. If there is 10k to 60k psi of gas behind the bullet, the air isn't going past the bullet, and ideally the bullet obturates which seals the bore and keeps the gasses from passing the bullet. The air either has to be capable of compressing enough without breaking the seal on the tape or it blows the tape off. A person could test this without firing the gun just by driving a bullet down the bore from the chamber to see how easily the tape comes off.....it may pop the tape from driving the bullet by hand. A lead bullet would be easier to test or even cerrosafe metal at the right temperature. With the potential speed of the air leaving the barrel, the air could blow a hole in the tape. Again, it depends on the type of tape and how well it sticks vs. breaks. I happen to be a pro at using tape.......as a painter for many years and also did lots of electrical. Electrical tape can be quite tough and masking tape can tear very easy compared to electrical tape. A metal tube and a blow gun from an air compressor would probably easily break masking tape. You could also look up how fast a bullet accelerates to speed, but we know it hits full speed inside the barrel so someone really good at math probably knows how to calculate pressures, or do some google searching and figure out how much pressure the volume of air would make based on the force on the bullet and then test your tape on a tube with the same pressure of compressed gas.
5:21 Dan is so sure about his aim, that he doesn't even consider the area behind the steel frame as a danger zone, since he isn't going to miss the target anyways.
It'd be pretty hard to miss that far.
In reality that is still a danger zone. He was probably just talking about places the camera could not be that would still get a shot. You should Never be downrange from a firearm even if the person has incredible aim. 'cause anything could happen and then you get shot.
Edited: as seen at 7:44 he would not shoot with anyone downrange because of just how dangerous it is.
10 years from now, Gav is gonna be like "Remember when we had a camera that shoots at 1.7 million FPS and we were so proud of ourselves back then?"
And Dan is gonna be like "Yeah, I can't believe we were proud of such rubbish camera when now we can film at 20 million FPS! lol"
Then, in another ten years, they'll be recording scenes from the future, through a wormhole, at 50 million fps. 🤯
Will there ever be a limit on how fast these cameras can be made to shoot? Probably pointless to ask when I don't understand what mechanism allows them to shoot so fast in the first place..
Actually, cameras capable of 25 million FPS exist right now. They use a high-speed rotating mirror to direct the light to a series of digital image sensors, so each frame is captured by a different sensor.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_photography#Rotating_mirror
@@buffnipz technically speaking, the hard limit would be the speed of light, but most likely humanity will decide getting a camera that fast is impractical and too expensive to be worth making one outside a few physics labs
When they can film at one frame per attosecond I'll be really impressed! 🤪
At indoor ranges they go on and on about the ventilation and lead inhalation. For 35 years I really didn’t know what they big deal was. Seeing that 30-06 turn to lead powder was fascinating. NOW I get it.
There is also lead compounds in the primers in ammo, which is even worse because it burns and turns into a gas. You have to eat or breathe in the lead for it to be harmful. Bullet casters have had high blood lead levels and found that no longer going to an indoor range but continuing to cast bullets brought their levels down to normal. Casting with decent ventilation isn't as bad with just a pot of melted lead because it isn't heated the same as the gasses from a gun firing and there isn't dust all over. I'm glad I have a private outdoor range that I belong to for the lead, noise, and a bunch of other ways shooting outside is better.
The amount of engineering and physics that goes into proper ballistics to produce the exact effect they want and reliably is amazing
13:31 If I flex my muscles before I get shot, this is what I imagine it would do
Seeing how slow the bullet moves at those speeds and then seeing how fast the debris spreads away from the impact point is something else.
That is why a lot of bulletproof vests with plates have a special plastic coating to catch all the spray from the impact so it does not go into your arms or face.
That's wild. Like I knew that the vests did something to protect from the shrapnel but didn't know how it really worked. I had no idea there could be so much of it though.@@ColoradoStreaming
I know right, tells a story about how dangerous recoil and shrapnel really is!
The 1st thing I noticed was that you both have different accents from each other. That is cool.
2nd thing: your minds play off each other SO WELL. The last 2 other slo mo channels I saw there was an imbalance in perspective & contribution, but I’m tickled at the balance & interplay between you two.
3rd: such great video quality…enhanced by your mutually curious and humble minds.
Thanks for the great show!!!
In the UK you only have to go a few miles and the accent can change dramatically.
@@johnparker2957was just ganna say same thing..Iive in Scunthorpe an can go 20 30 miles to like Grimsby or hull an the accent is massively different
@@johnparker2957If you live 8n Chestnut Hill Philadelphia you can easily differentiate Northeast Phila, your own neighborhood, and South Philly. You can also tell quite a bit about education private vs public. So not just England:)
Watching the .30-06 leave the rifle and then seeing the shockwave as it approached the hardened steel target, ACES!!!
A thing that is under appreciated about steel is how broad the term actual is. The term is used for carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel all of which have a wide range of properties depending on how their manufactured and small or in certain cases large changes in how much and what type of materials are added to the alloy. The range of strength in steels goes almost two full orders of magnitude and they can have wildly different chemical, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties as well.
"Jet Fuel Cant Melt Steel Beams"
"Which Steel?"
@@mka6245 exactly. zero of the grades of steel melt at fuel burn temps. ever hear of a house furnace melting..or a port-a-heat in a garage? those are made of sheet metal and resist melting, regardless of the time they're burning fuels..about exactly the same fuel, in the case of a port-a-heat. even if the jet fuel burned hot enough to melt massive steel beams in a short time (oh..another example..engines dont melt from burning fuel, either), that would not cause the entirety of those towers to collapse at freefall speed. at worst, the top portion would've buckled and been arrested by the structure beneath.
That’ is some super accurate shooting💯🔥
Not really.
@@peterwhitey4992always a naysayer.
i agree
@@peterwhitey4992 Yes really
Dan was in the British Army, so know how to shoot
The excitement the guys have for these experiments after all these years is infectious, I love it guys.
See the shockwaves of the bullet via the shadow was truly incredible!! Love what you guys do!
Conservation of angular momentum is truly awesome. these clips where all the individual pieces come out still spinning were VERY reminiscent of physics 203 homework questions where you bounce particles off each other and see the mess that results from the scattering. all the momentum and energy have to end up SOMEWHERE. very cool video!
Ya big nerd!
Nice to see you here!
love it when i see my favorite channels comment on each others videos
Dan does some epic shooting, this is undeniable, but let's give Gav some love for his shooting too, his shots are also wild! You two are an epic duo, and that's a fact
It's not that special.
@@peterwhitey4992Where are your videos that show how accurate you are at shooting? You typed out a whole 17 comments trying to throw shade at someone that has better aim than you, why?

@@peterwhitey4992my brother is everything okay at home

I have a new appreciation for the 30-06.
What I love the most about these video is the friendship between you two.
One of my favorite subjects to film! Love seeing these incredibly high frame rates.
Fancy seeing y’all here! 😂
Gotta say I liked yalls video more than the slomo guys.
@@CuseRippin Well that's their gig, and BHS is good at it... But the SloMoGuys have tons of variety. Both channels are good... but Sorry @BallisticHighSpeed, I like Gav & Dan a bit better.
@@MastroAdventures I agree completely and I believe both to be fantastic channels, however, for this specific demonstration I do believe that not only because BHS did it first but also due to their setup and knowledge on the subject that their videos on this specific topic were slightly better. That is not to say that the slomo guys video was bad because it was far from it, I love these types of videos.
Collaboration when? :D
The duo of Gav & Dan is iconic to me as Adam & Jamie. Love y'all ❤

Awesome job guys!! Dan, I am a Marine Corps expert rifle and pistol shooter and you are an impressive shot my friend! Great video!! I learned that what I have been hit by many times is most likely the jacket from the round and not part of the bullet itself.
I love that you 2 still learn stuff from these, but also how much Dan knows about guns and the respect. "Absolutely not" @7:46
That Shockwave shadow was epic. Great camerawork and shooting!
What I love about these guys is that they dont fool around with any build up into the show, they go right into the main show,, thanks guys..
cause they don’t need to! charismatic and very likable hosts passionately presenting genuinely interesting content is the kind of stuff you can’t manufacture
Man! Seeing the shockwave shadows in the metal was incredible! I went to put a thumbs up and realised I had already done it :D
Amazing details on the fps you shoot. Thank you for sharing!
12:43 my hungry ass thought that was a tortilla 💀
I always love the end of a Slow Mo Guys video where they end up with a piece of art, I don't think it'd be that unreasonable to put that in a museum with the slow mo footage playing next to it
I was thinking how much I'd love to hang that piece of steel up on my wall as Dan was holding it. They really do create some incredible pieces of art on this channel through sheer destruction.
I was thinking the exact same!
That's actually a dang good idea, maybe they could raffle it off or use it as a give away.
I've been saying it for about a decade at this point - some day this stuff is going to be playing on screens at The fckn _Louvre!_
I love how the moment Dan is talking about anything ballistics or explosives related he talks like a different person
Love the shots of the shockwave, both at the target and in the sideview of the rifle being fired.
Always nice to see Dan's training and expertise coming in handy with these videos.
The steel you use for targets is going to be an AR-500 steel. That is the hardness rating. It's actually very dangerous to shoot mild steel. As someone who works in a bullet manufacturing there's also a big difference in between plated (9mm and most hand gun rounds) and jacketed (the 30-06) rounds. Love the videos.
Yup was my thoughts exactly. It’s too easy to think just because metal is half an inch thick that it’s bulletproof.
Yep. Everything I've ever read says NEVER SHOOT ORDINARY STEEL It's too likely that bits of the target will come flying backwards. As well, even the AR500 steel targets are typically only supposed to be shot by pistol rounds or "weak" rifles, and they always specify a minimum distance you need to be from the target. In the following video, I don't know what this guy was shooting, but it's a famous "here's why these rules exist" demonstration. ruclips.net/video/0ABGIJwiGBc/видео.html
Why is it dangerous to shoot mild steel? Wouldn't softer steel have a greater likelihood of the bullet going through and therefore be less likely to throw chunks back at you?
@@jono6379 Big dents and such but not full penetrations basically make a perfect ricochet spot. Buddy hit a plate with a .300 win mag once that was rated for pistols. It didn't go through because of the distance but when he hit the dent it caused with a .22 at a closer range it flung a chunk of lead back that stuck itself into his forehead.
Came here to say this AR500 steel
I do like the amount of safety you all show when setting up the video. It's enough to let us know you do it on every attempt, as it is practiced and feels natural, without it being too in the way of the content of the video.
"Are you.. bloody Robocop" actually sent me
Vielen Dank für diese aussergewöhnliche Erfahrung !!! Dazu habt Ihr wirklich Entertainment Qualitäten die man nicht oft findet . Respekt und weiterhin viel Erfolg !!!!!
Can I just say that that Springfield is a beautiful piece? It's quite cool to see such an old rifle being used here, and it's one of my favorites
The first sheet of steel you were shooting was a soft steel. The steel they use for steel targets is ar500 or ar550 hardened steel. Sweet to see how the .30-06 punched a plug out of the mild steel
I enjoy you two and your videos... Always a treat!
The shot of the rifle firing might be my favorite of the video. They were all awesome but being able to see the bullet slowly leave the barrel was amazing to me for some reason.
For many years, I've been an avid supporter since the very start and I must say, there hasn't been a single video that has let me down. Each one is consistently excellent. It's undoubtedly the finest RUclips channel in existence.
Maybe, if you can manage to sit through all the cringe banter.
Gav who's afraid of guns but loves filming them, and Dan who know everything about them. What an iconic duo. You know its a good day when my YT notifs tell me there's a new SMG out.
Great vid! Love your stuff guys. Its truly amazing what you guys are able to catch on the incredible camera. It gives an entirely new perspective. Keep on it!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHANNEL ON RUclips! Shout out to Dan for not missing those shots and being a badass with firearm safety standards!
Agreed. Better safety here than I see on some of the shooting channels I watch.
They literally can edit out the parts of him missing. People are so simple
@@daywalkerusa2114 Fair point, but considering the grouping... I don't think they had to edit much. It's pretty simple
@@daywalkerusa2114 that was a mean thing to say, also the grouping is there for anyone to see
"Firearm safety standards"
8:05: walks right down range of the gun pointing at them
That piece of steel you found appears to be a "static steel" target, which is most likely hung from a 2x4 piece of lumber (cheap and commonly available), which is then set in a steel stand of some sort. That piece is likely AR500 or AR550 steel, which is essentially armor plate and extremely hard. These are commonly set up in different arrays for a course of fire in a shooting competition, like Steel Challenge.
I was just gonna ask about that, I didn’t expect such a difference in steel but I guess I should’ve after seeing steel challenge targets stand up to all sorts of hell.
Never a boring video from you. Always something new and interesting to learn. Always amazing footage.

Thanks guys! Always such a pleasure to watch!
the .308 round makes me think of the effects of cannonballs on wooden ships. Now THAT would be a kick ass video, bloody expensive but worth it.
They already have shot cannons at diferent things a couple of times.
And while shooting at an actual ship is a bit too expensive, a 1x1m wooden wall would be practically the same...
I'm pretty sure they have shot a cannon at wood to show the spawling that is the actual killer in renaissance ship combat.
This was a 30.06 which has significantly more powder charge behind it than .308
Would love to see an episode where you guys look at different car parts under load. Seeing an exhaust back fire a turbo spool up and blow off stuff like that would be amazing to see.
YES PLEASE!
Dan, I've been shooting for years and I'll be it, not competitive, but hunting for my family's next meal. Accuracy knows Accuracy. You sir are accurate, and I tip my hat to you
i love how they were freaking out about it going through while being like 50m away on camera
Something that would be awesome is thermal camera to see how hot the metal was heated an cooled during it.
That would be cool, we NEED Thermals!
would be a really nice dynamic for the information they bring across in the videos! @@tbrowniscool
It wouldn't be by a lot.
A high frame rate FLIR would be fun to see. How hot are the sparks when the bullet hits?
That's the thing I don't think FLIR has that great a frame rate capability but if it did that would be awesome. I'm here to learn!@@lauxmyth
4:00 Alternate theory, Seeing that the "sparks" seem to be coming from a point smaller than the petals, I think that there is a good chance these are not sparks at all but rather the air caught within the hollow point combusting from the rapid compression on impact and exiting through the gaps between the petals. But that's just a theory 👀
Edit:
You can also see that the light is coming from the space between the petals rather than the petals themselves if you watch the following frames where the bullet expands and compare the petal locations to the light locations.
Combusting with what? The nitrogen in the air? The copper lining of the bullet? The paint on the target?
@@joshbobst1629 the pressure alone can cause air to heat up rapidly to the point of combustion.
@@joshbobst1629 No idea, that's for the professionals. I just build LEGOs 🤣
That said, you see a similar phenomena with ballistic gel in some slowmo videos where the gel will collapse, trapping air which then combusts in a flash of light or sometimes even when a hollow point first hits the gel
@@deadshot4197 Thank you, I'm not crazy 😅
@@joshbobst1629it doesn’t need fuel. If you hear regular old air enough it will glow. This phenomena has been fully shaken out at this point. We’ve been seeing it for almost a decade now.
The enthusiasm these guys have is so refreshing
Gotta love Gavin just mesmerized by the conservation of angular momentum because I totally agree. Unintuitive part of physics which makes it so cool! Y’all are the best
I love how the first bullet stole a little piece of the baking tray, and then that comes back when they realize the rifle was blowing out solid chunks of the steel plate.
The reveal was perfectly set up in the first act. Excellent storytelling! XD
This is insane! At 13:33 to 13:34 you can see the air shockwave being made by the front of the bullet. Perfection!!
And the back
We know. They told us.
Did you watch it on mute?
Made the bullet look like it had wings
Loved the shockwaves from the shadows
I remember showing my friends your videos when I was in first grade, I’m 21 now and still an avid watcher I love you guys thanks for the years of the best RUclips content
Big kudos to you guys for keeping your videos consistently amazing for over 10 years. Also thanks for keeping your safe shooting practices in the video 👍
Epic filming, great banter, sharp shooting - you guys nail it every time. Much love
Love the pun
This is one of the coolest videos I have seen from you guys! It's simple and awe inspiring! Well done!
Used to do some high speed video when I worked for a rifle manufacturer in the 1980's. It was eye opening at the time. You could only save the results on a
VHS tape. This state of the art equipment is amazing. Keep em coming guys...
'Are you robocop?' I'd say that is the best compliment to ones aiming ability possible!
13:39 That shockwave shadow is one of the coolest things you've filmed.
Mind blowing that this can be captured like this.. The difference between mild steel and armor plate is pretty amazing..
just a bit of bullet info from a amateur gunsmith ... the hollow point bullets are designed to peel back but ideally not break apart ..you want all the mass to stay together because as it loses mass it losses penetration potential ...HP=expanding bullet .. now frangible bullets are designed to break apart .. I think you guys would love shooting a 308 frangible bullet ... as far as the steel ..the circle steel you shot was most likely AR500 through-hardened steel plate ...another interesting thing you can do is put cardboard around the outside of the steel plate and shoot it with various rounds and you will see the splash pattern in the cardboard ..or put watermelons etc around the sides of the plate ...especially if you use frangible bullets ... I would be happy to send you various rounds I think people would love to see slow-mo (myself included) .. RIP rounds,frangible,steel core,frangible core,m855 penetrator green tip (5.56),30cal tracer rounds,5.56 tracer rounds and then some special homemade 30cal :-) ...love the show thank you
I always love seeing how good you guys are with your gun safety. It's strangely soothing.
I know it should be expected but I just really want to commend how much care they put into safety when doing stuff like this !
In addition to the impressive splash of the copper jackets and the lead interiors, when you hit the white circular target there is an acoustic "ping"; I loved how the ping became a deep "gong" when played back at slow speed. Shock wave shadows, dramatic spatters, and a deep gong... something for everyone!
This is a great demonstration of different kinds of steel & the performance you can get out of them.
As someone who has always been naturally good with rifles... I'm consistently impressed by Dan's ability to hit extremely accurately with any weapon/explosive/whatever.
The more shooting videos they make, the more I'm certain Gav made Dan join the army, so they could make quality content.
The most interesting this for me is the wave that goes through these massive sheets of metal like it's a water.
Dan is not just a sharpshooter but a sniper.
always love how the metal flinging out to the sides is a liquid but freezes solid so quickly to create those weird fragment shapes
