    The arrow head in the movie was a magnetic tripod that absorbs the impact. Then a tiny robotic arm moves a port into place and plugs it into the console. So in reality, all you need is to hit a target within about 1 cm and the arrow does the rest.

      If the arrow basically acts as an anchor for a small motorized computer to locate and insert a usb drive into a port, then yeah that would probably work. You'd have to make a machine that wouldn't get destroyed by the force of the shot, fine enough motors with the controls and sensors to accurately detect the port and orient the drive correctly and insert it into the port, and the computing and energy to run through that process. Most of that isn't even like super advanced or anything, just not something a hobbiest could realistically put together, especially on a budget.

    I'd suggest repeating the scenario indoors, as in the avengers movie, Hawkeye was in the helicarrier, and wasn't needing to account for wind causing an offset. If this is done indoors, you may see a more consistent pattern of arrow fletching when tested.
    The device also is also mentioned below in a few comments of sorts, but the arrow Hawkeye used looks like it has it's own processor & power system, which can prioritize identifying power for the port, to make sure the connections are correctly mapped as far as the connectivity side goes, so less stressful as the USB cord on the end of an arrow. You hitting the device close enough to damage the USB port does indicate that it would have been able to make sufficient contact near to make it possible. The rest boils down to establishing the physical connection of wires for the port.
    That's accomplished by the attachment moving connectors forward, (possibly lining up after the arrow hit).
    I wouldn't say your video disproves it, because too many variables were added into the scenario than what would make the attempt not viable for the point of theory testing.
    Some popular TV shows from the past did a good breakdown, and did so to break or 'bust' myths so to speak. They can be an excellent resource if you want to further this kind of content creation, to that caliber and level, and I would love to see a similar show (or rather more of that type) show up, as it helps spawn and push creativity forward.

    The problem isn't the force or magnets or any of that reasonable garbage. The issue is it goes in on the first time. EVERYONE KNOWS you have to put it in the right way, then it doesn't go in for some stupid reason, then you flip it over because maybe this time you actually did try to do it upside down despite how obvious the USB is oriented to go in perfectly, then you try to put it in affirming your dumbassery for the 10th time this week doing this same dumb shit that apparently has to be done EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME YOU HAVE TO PLUG ONE IN. and then you flip it back over and it goes right in no problem.

    Oh yeah Hawkeye's skills are for SURE unrealistic on purpose. Theres a moment in the cartoon "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" where he's fighting a Skrull disguised as him. The Skrull shoots an arrow at him, he dodges it and fires it back at the Skrull knocking his bow oit of his hands.
    The Skrull then says "Impossible! No one is that good!"
    Hawkeye responds "Guess what? I am." And punches him out.

    A USB connector is unidirectional even a slight tilt is gonna ruin the outcome.
    Maybe try something more forgiving? Like a 3.5mm headphonejack? Should fit an arrow perfectly.

    The thing with Hawkeye, is that he wasn’t shooting the arrow at a plastic 2.5/2.5 inch brick that weighs about the same as a loaf of sliced bread.
    He was firing it at a Desktop computer, which wouldn’t “fly off the desk” if you shot an arrow at it.
    Personally, I would either:
    1. Find a way to secure the “plastic brick” to the table.
    2. See if someone you know has a old desktop in their garage, attic, basement, storage unit, etc. sitting around collecting dust, that they are willing to get rid of/ let you destroy.
    3. Find a cheap one at some garage/yard sale.
    4. Look around on “big trash day” or “electronic waste pickup day” and see if anyone has one out on the curb, and swipe it up before the trash collectors pick it up.

    I think rather than skill what you’d need is to have superhuman muscle memory or sort of like “body memory”, cuz one of the factors in the variation might be that you’re not holding the bow and (specially) the arrows EXACTLY the same each time. Same thing could be said about the way your legs are facing, the amount of strength etc. Like you say even in Olympic archers I’m pretty sure they can keep things mostly the same but definitely not EXACTLY the same. Some other factors could include environmental factors most likely. Tho it would be a cool experiment to see if shooting an arrow in a vacuum using a machine would produce arrows facing the same way every time.

    To be fair, the "unusual looking computer port, which is supposed to be the bridge's access port, is not a USB-Port, and rather looks like it would be easier to fit it in, than a USB.
    Second, the functionality of the movie's arrows is different than that of the USB one.
    Third, I guess we can all agree, that this arrow only existed for the plot of Hawkeye 'hacking' the door controls from afar, as this kind of arrow or port never was seen ever again, if I remember it correctly.
    The arrow made sense in this movie for that scene, but the scene itself doesn't make any sense at all.
    Also, we may not forget that Hawkeye actually as a "superpower".
    Yes I know, everyone says he doesn't, and his accuracy only comes from hard training, but let's be honest. He has inhuman/superhuman accuracy.
    Some sites even state he has peak human condition, and I think agility. He also needs A LOT of strength to pull his bow, especially at the rate he does. - Now, yes, this doesn't make him superhuman, but I still believe that his marksman's talent and accuracy are a superpower, because they just don't seem like any human can do.
    But yea, it's a comic, and even Girl Hawkeye has his skills, or is at least close to it.

    There's nothing from Phase 4 or 5 that I haven't at least enjoyed parts of (tho Thor: Love & Thunder comes close), but *almost everything* they've made since Endgame has fallen short of reaching its full potential.

  • @klonvomhaus

    The other issue is the stopping power of the USB. EVEN IF you hit.
    I have broken off a USB connector once or twice in my time by jamming it in the wrong way or just at an angle where my hand slipped. If you put too much pressure on the slot, it'll just break and move back into the case, especially if it's a cheaper made plastic.

    So, I know this might come off as a dumb question, but are you left-handed, or do you just flip your videos (asking because I have seen people demonstrating weapons that I would have sworn were left-handed, but then longer videos revealed that their shorts are mirrored, and they're actually righties)? You don't see a lot of lefty archers (outside of movie Hawkeye, and that's because his actor is apparently just as left-handed as I am and can't even pretend to shoot a bow right-handed. Not that I'm complaining. It's about time lefties got some decent representation that isn't a villain or a goofball, or a coward, or a building-exploding cop), so, cool if you are one.

    On the topic of trick arrows though, I for one would love to see you try the infamous Green Arrow boxing glove arrow.

  • @MartinGreywolf
    @MartinGreywolf Год назад

    For a fun mental exercise, let's see how we could improve our chances. The rules are that we want to be able to make this shot with powerful bow and with the arrow itself not being robotic.
    1) All you need to make a USB connect is the middle part that looks a bit like flat plastic screwdriver with 4 metal contacts on one side. Most USB cables have rectangular metal sheet around it to protect it, but it isn't necessary. This alone drops how precise you have to be with your arrow *significantly*.
    2) Short-stroke your bow. As long as you do that short-stroke in a consistent way, you should be getting the same initial velocity to your arrow.
    3) Put some sort of spring into the arrow itself that will be solid during initial shooting and come undone to make the hit itself take a longer time and dissipate the energy.
    4) If you really want to get fancy, it is possible to shoot arrows without imparting any spin to them. We don't do that because the spins helps them stabilize and improves accuracy, but if you had some means of manufacturing a high-precision bow and arrow, able to stay accurate regardless, you could possibly pull this off.

    "The rotation of the arrows isn't predictable" well that's true for standard arrows. But if we're talking about implausible sci-fi trick archery, then maybe Hawkeye's trick arrow is modified in some way to make the rotation more reliable?

  • @kyusango3311
    @kyusango3311 Год назад

    coming more from a tech side then archery, so... what your currently shooting into is either a 1.0 or 2.0 usb drive (I think only cause of color and your description of it) now a usb 3.1 (maybe the 3.0 too but I haven't personally seen one so idk maybe) there is no upside down plugs anymore that would double your chances of getting the right rotation, and for target resilience I've seen metal usb ports but even them still have that plastic piece in the middle and I only suggest this because the outside of your port took the most damage. btw personally i don't think anybody could ever make that shot due to the side to side action of a flying arrow (it doesn't travel truly straight [archer paradox]) it could hit the port dead perfect but still not go in due to not flying straight into the port but these things would increase your odds at least, if you do ever make it I hope you get it on camera. just my thoughts,

    I'm probably not going to utitlize the archery lessons in your videos, but I am a writer with a character who's basically Green Arrow, but more Robin Hoody. I started writing the character because of Arrow, so I can't deny that I got it from that, the character is just still going to be a sneak thief and not just eye candy and a mouthpiece for the politically charged writers.
    It will be political, though. Robin Hood is political. And the character will get the mantle from his dad who is completely coincidentally named Robert. Jason Robert Forrest just sounded good, so his middle name is his dad's name.
    And so his dad literally stealing from rich assholes and giving to the poor may have backfired over time. Like the people he gave money to being blamed for the crimes and then them or their kid later taking revenge.
    I guess I just spoiled my own writing, but I kind of have to to explain it. And if someone complains about me spoiling my own writing, I will say some words that RUclips doesn't like.
    Just not on RUclips because the comment will be removed by an AI.

  • @soundphile988
    @soundphile988 Год назад

    Its not possible, The arrow usually goes through alot of wiggly motion during flight and does not fly like a bullet straight ahead. thus it'd be near impossible to hit the target, since there is always randomness involved. Thus the chances are less than 1% and even the most skilled person would need tons of trials and a lucky hit. THere'd be no way this could be practiced up to a point where you could consistently hit the usb port in a way that it fits perfectly in. It is based on luck.
    Ofc if you were to modify the arrow/bow it could be possible

  • @ChuckUnderFire
